3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: to know my teammates slowly but surely, and we're learning

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: everything we can need to learn, hopefully. I would think

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: you know a thing or two about great organizations. What

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,439

Speaker 1: they received me, the high quality of the way they

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: run things around here, the quality of people that UM.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: I've been around here a couple of weeks I've been here.

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: UM has been as good as any is. This the

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: time a year with an offensive line builds the chemistry

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna pay you off for the durning season. Yeah.

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time together now through our

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: off season. Once the camp starts, there's a lot of

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: time that we gotta spend together to get to know

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: each other, playing side by side. Yeah, it's the last

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: month been like for you. You come right here and

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: working out here even up there. UM. Yeah, we've been

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: transitioning as uh quickly and as easily as we can.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: So we've been finding UM a place to stay. We've

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: been UM selling our place in Massachusetts and uh trying

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: to situate you know, the kids, the healthcare, the schools,

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the you know, um for my wife, UM, everything like that.

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: You how different, Um, well, I haven't been in it

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: long enough to really get all the details of how

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: it's different, how it's the same. But UM, like I said,

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to learn as fast as I can because, UM,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have some games coming through that

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: we've got to know it really well. Um. A lot

31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: of times it is, Yeah, a lot of times it is.

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: And and your technique, your footwork, um, all kind of

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: um parallel each other. A lot of times you kind

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: of you're already sort of a leader on this group.

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I know that it's don't even practice yet. Could I

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: think you know you see yourself probably in that role.

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Uh where are you what you're thinking? With Eric Flowers

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: not being here? Um, I don't know him. I don't

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I'm sure he's trying to do

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: the best he can for himself for whatever he's got

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: going on, and and that's good for him. UM, you know,

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, I'm not gonna talk about who's here,

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: who's not here, but you know, the guys that are here,

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: we're working hard, We're trying to do our best with

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: what we've got. Isn't kind of hard for you coming

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: into any organization even though you're established, You know there

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: are other guys that have been here a long and

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: do you have to kind of like find a love

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I guess a balanced point between speaking of people leader

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: and were lacking better terms of place. I try to

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: stay pretty quiet. That's kind of just how my personality

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: is kind of wired. Um and UM, I just want

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to listen. I want to learn how guys are doing things.

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I want to pay attention when my coaches tell me

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: to do UM. I don't think that there's always a

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: place just to come in and put your way around.

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: I think that you just do the best you can

58
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: with what you've got. How was your relationship with Eli

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: med think so far elf seeking from Afar and now

60
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it flows Yeah. Um, well I've gotten to speak to

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: him a little bit, but nothing. I mean, I don't

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: know him that well. It's been a couple of weeks.

63
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: So UM. I think there's a lot of great players,

64
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: really high character people, really quality people, guys that care,

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: work hard. Um it's a great organization. Like I said,

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Nada quarterback. And you do know, well Tom Brady there

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: was some talk last week it might be his last season,

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. How does that job with what

73
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: walking around this building and seeing the pictures of the

74
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wins over the Patriots. That is funny. But

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you know what, they have a ton of respect for
