Speaker 1 (00:00):
How do you think the spring went. I think it
went well.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You know, it's a lot of competition, ears competing, and
I think the entire team got better.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's definitely one of the better springs I've been around.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
You know, it's my ninth year now, so I think
it was a really good spring, good catapult to leading
to the summer. What's different, Well, what felt different for
you with uh, you know, entire from almost an entire
new quarterback groom from that respective for the offense, I'd
say the leadership, you know, and and it's all I
knock on anyone, but Russ and jamis just bringing a
(00:31):
different kind of energy to the building, and you know,
especially Russ just being out there. To me, it was
you know, I've been around a lot of great players,
but Russ is just different where h this is like
his life, like he lives and breathes this, and he
knows everything everyone's responsibility out there. And just the how
quickly he was able to pick up this offense and
kind of make it his own and holding it into
(00:51):
something he's really comfortable, and it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Shit talked about how out of its fencing back in
the trenches. It was a little more than usually see
in the spring. What was uh, that's kind of the
rood of that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I think just you know, people are just sticking tired
of not being good, you know, and it all starts
in the trenches and the O line D line is
where you know games are really won.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You know, we talk about the receiving a room or dvs.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And quarterbacks a really important position, but games are really
decided in the trenches. And so you know, it's intense,
especially with the players that we have on the line
in D line. But at the end of the day,
everyone got better from him. Where do you think that
the battles would be like in the summer when the
patsun w'd be very fun?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm almost side of first, What do you think kind
of transitions to guard?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I think that he's truly brought into it and it's
been cool for me to just watch the tape and
just you know, he's.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
A shoe mongkeins dude. I'm sure y'all have seen him,
but you know when he.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Hits you, like on the bag, you feel the oof,
you know, it's like, oh, you know, and him going
out there being able to not change anything from Indie
to the team, and obviously him going from tackle to
guard is a big transition. I've done it myself a
couple of times in my career. So to see him
buying into it and to see how serious he's taken
it is really cool to see.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And I think that he can be a really good player.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Like I told him, I was like, if you lock
in and you're truly buy into this, you can be
a really good guard. Just from seeing how he's done
in the spring, I'm excited see him the summer and
putting patch on him.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
What are the what are the big challenges?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Is he's gonna say, as someone who's done that, you
know it's a different position, it really is.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And what are the big challenges once the pads are
on in the preseason games that he's going to be
faced with. I say, the speed.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, everything at guard is bang bang, attackles more patients,
and you have to be willing to you know, you
not have to know what you have to know what
to strike, you attackle Essentially at guard, you know those
big guys like Deck that aren't you within a milliseconds,
and you got to be able to figure out what
you need to do and how you can defeat them
in their blocking, ultimately win the block within a matter
(02:47):
of seconds because if not, then they're gonna be on
the quarterback. So I think that he's done a really
good job adj justing to that and a really.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Truly buying into guard.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And you know, the Scott's lemb firm is a talented kid,
and I think that he can be a really good player.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, tackle is if there is a glamor position
on the offensive line.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Tackle is what people want to be.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So is is there something buying mentally to say, Okay,
I kind of didn't do great there.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean inside now it's a little bit different. Is
that part of the buying? Yeah? I think that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, when like Evan's case, he was a five star,
five star recruit was at Alabama and Alabama's left tackle
top correct me if I'm wrong, top eight, seven eight pick,
he was like what seven?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah? So top eight picking?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Then for a draft this you know, you just used
to one certain thing and he used to playing tackle,
and then you know when they like out play guard.
Now there's a decision you have to make and I
have to make that decision too. Where there it's like
you know, my first couple of years in the league,
when I got into the league, they were like, you're
a guard.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I was like, I'm a tackle. They're like, no, you're
playing guard.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And you know you have to truly be wanting to
accept that and just clear your mind of everything and
relearn everything. And like I said, I think he's done
a phenomenal job doing that and treat buying. You can
see in the media room, like the extra meetings he's
doing and truly wanted to take that next step to
get out on the field.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And Tildren you have to see him winning. Does it
take a one with the kind of un Does it
take a while kind of unlearn some of those things
where you're switching position.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, it's it's hard to s I mean I have
to do a last year, you know, from going from
right to left tackle. It's hard going from tackle to
guards to even harder.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Like I said, the.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Speed of the game, it's completely different in there. The
knowledge you have to have to play guard, especially in
this offense, is tremendous. Like we have really smart guards,
even Jamis is probably one of the smartest guys on
the team. Like you have to be really smart to
play in that position, and you know, see him picking
up the offense like that, truly buying into it, like
I said, taking it serious and truly wanted to be
out there. It is really cool to see, you know,
(04:35):
especially young guys like that. It's it's tough when you
want a players in relition and you get told no,
you have to play here now. And like you said,
they can go one or two ways. It can be
i'm'a do this or now I'm not gonna do this,
and I'm go'na do things my own way. And he's
truly brought into the coaching out there in indeed, he's
truly buying into it like I said, and this starting
to pay demnist for what.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Kind of players have their card are gonna be. I
think it's gonna be a really good player.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's been fun playing in from He's a he's a
explosive kid, you know, and I think that's really good.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
To have him on this team. I I cannot really
compare him to anyone cause he's his own player. With him.
Burnson tip, they're gonna be a health drill. You met
tringal Ford is that people are sick of losing. How
does that is that that conversation that has had. Is
that an attitude that you feel the spring? I mean,
what what is what is that bubbling frustration of losing me?
(05:26):
Damn cut that out of my bath? Bad?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You never heard that one? Yea, It's just I mean
going through and fourteen is terrible, you know. You like
that first game lust year against the Vikings. That was
one of my f Like I was in Vegas. Obviously
it's hard to get home footing lunge there cause it's Vegas.
Team won't travel there. Right that game last year, I
still remember it and I'm probably gonna remember it for
a while. It was the first time in a long
(05:52):
time I've had a home foot Vuns. Like the fans
out here are passionate about this team, passionate about this franchise,
and they wanna win.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
But that's the only way we feel too, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We know, like that close game, I know everyone comes
back to it, but that feeling that you get puffed
win the game and truly seeing everything you put in
the week and all the work you've been putting in
paying off.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
There's no other feeling like it, you know, and it's addictive.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And that's what you want, we can weak out and
that's what we wanna get and that's what team we
wanna become. So I think that you saw the NBA attendance, like,
I don't think anyone missed Oughta's Everyone was out there,
you know, Like I said, having Russ and James been
huge for us. And even guys that weren't practicing, they're
still in the huddle or they're still run a team,
or they're still but not buying in their meetings, trying
(06:33):
to make sure that they're gaining all the knowledge that
they need to when they come back out there, they
know what to do, and you know, there's no fall off.
So it's I think that you know, I'm not gonna
make any preditions, but it's I I like to sing
a lot
