- 1:50Speaker 3: Guess me a great playing next to Gray, especially just
- 1:53Speaker 3: him being a rookie, just being able to come in
- 1:55Speaker 3: and and and play at the level he's been playing that,
- 1:59Speaker 3: being smart, being filled it cool, and just trying to
- 2:01Speaker 3: dominate guys like that's what we want.
- 2:03Speaker 6: Do you talk at all on the field toponents?
- 2:06Speaker 3: I'm more I'm I'm a little different than him. I
- 2:09Speaker 3: like to just you know, communicate with my guys on
- 2:11Speaker 3: on offense and and just stay locked in on my assignment.
- 2:15Speaker 1: What's the feeling like for alignment?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Like LA last week to play the Sam hits Aj
- 2:19Speaker 2: for the sixty one yard or so. Obviously you're at
- 2:21Speaker 2: the line, you're bla, you're doing your job or whatever.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But at some point you look up and you realize
- 2:24Speaker 2: he's running with the ball fifty yards downfield.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And this all worked. I mean I thought he was
- 2:28Speaker 1: gonna score.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Honestly, Well that's very excited just the way you know,
- 2:33Speaker 3: Aj comes in every day and UH works and and
- 2:36Speaker 3: and be and and being a great leader on the team.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Man, it's a site for the offense.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Here's your six games in this year. You know, obviously
- 2:44Speaker 6: got a lot left to go. How does this feel
- 2:46Speaker 6: different than you know, the offense you guys are running
- 2:48Speaker 6: this year.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Compared to last year.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Run first for suit, just being able to run the ball,
- 2:54Speaker 3: UH be fields good at the point of attack, and
- 2:55Speaker 3: UH married it with the with the play action and
- 2:58Speaker 3: past game.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Sam Arnold's have four games this year where he's only
- 3:02Speaker 4: been sacked one times or no times. Just how much
- 3:05Speaker 4: pride do you guys take in the past protection part
- 3:07Speaker 4: that you've done.
- 3:08Speaker 1: This year my flight.
- 3:08Speaker 3: We take a lot of pride in it, you know,
- 3:10Speaker 3: keeping our quarterback clean, keeping him off the ground, let
- 3:13Speaker 3: him make those big time throws. I mean it's been
- 3:17Speaker 3: it's been uh great just being able to you know,
- 3:21Speaker 3: go in week the weekend and everyone's just understanding the
- 3:24Speaker 3: the plan that we have for that week.
- 3:26Speaker 1: What has been the.
- 3:27Speaker 4: Biggest difference past provides for you guys from last year
- 3:29Speaker 4: to this year.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I'll say, just just the details, detailed scheme my flight.
- 3:36Speaker 3: You know, everyone's done a great job, no just doing
- 3:38Speaker 3: their job, coming in there every day and going to work.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Who's the funniest person in the airline room and who's
- 3:43Speaker 6: the most intense.
- 3:47Speaker 1: It's a good question. I would say the funniest would
- 3:52Speaker 1: either be.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Mason Richmond or Gray is Able, And I say the
- 3:57Speaker 3: most intense would probably be a.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Uh you excuse me.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Uh. Earlier you said the talks about the textan defense,
- 4:06Speaker 2: so they play hard, that they play hard.
- 4:07Speaker 5: What do you see on film to to say that
- 4:09Speaker 5: it from our view, it looks like, I guess e
- 4:11Speaker 5: everybody's playing hard.
- 4:12Speaker 1: What do you see that makes them different?
- 4:14Speaker 3: I'm just giving an extra effort, not winning with a move,
- 4:17Speaker 3: not winning with anything, especially just playing hard, trying to
- 4:20Speaker 3: get to the quarterback, trying to stop the run.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Just the little things.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Y you said, the the scheme is one thing that
- 4:27Speaker 5: helps out with the pass protection specifically, does being under
- 4:31Speaker 5: center more impact that? And like as opposed to being
- 4:34Speaker 5: any shotgun where sort of pass rushers might have a
- 4:37Speaker 5: better idea that you're gonna throw it.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I fight it helps just not giving the defense
- 4:41Speaker 3: or a tail on or what we're doing on on
- 4:42Speaker 3: a certain play.
- 4:44Speaker 6: How much, uh, does it affect your ability to your
- 4:47Speaker 6: job and your quarterback is getting the ball out as
- 4:48Speaker 6: quickly as sam as.
- 4:50Speaker 1: My flight is.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Like from my offensive line standpoint, it's great. It's hard
- 4:54Speaker 3: to block in this league. So the quicker the quarterback
- 4:57Speaker 3: can get the ball out, the better it is for
- 4:59Speaker 3: the old line, the better iss for the offense.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It just helps the team out a lot. MHM
