  Speaker 1: level of trust you have in CJ and and the.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Confidence you have well both are very Uh. We we
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: trust CJ. He's been here for as far for a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: couple of years now. We got all the faith in
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: all the trust in him in the world. And if
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Trevor isn't able to go into CJ has to go
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: then well, like our expectations of what we expect from
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: ourselves offensively and as a team, it doesn't change.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: How much more comfortable do you feel now that you've
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: gone through uh a s a second game, just kind
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: of getting back in the in the swing of things
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: as opposed to just having one that having that extra
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: game under.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Your belt now, Yeah, I think it made a a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: huge difference for myself, just kind of getting back in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the rhythm, just kind of getting back into I think
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: also just getting back into like football shape, cause you
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: can still do it like all the training you want
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: where you're not playing, but it's only one where you
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: gonna actually get back and be real to play football.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And it's just about playing football. So I think I'm
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: f just trying to keep taking steps in the right duration.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: When it comes to that aspect, how D how how
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: different does your.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Boy the field today as compared to the weekend? Uh?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: A little worse? Yeah, just for for a week ago,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I was just I mean it was a fr I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: mentioned it a couple of times. It's just the freshest
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I've ever been through four weeks. I mean, I hadn't played,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: so I'm kind of starting to feel it a little
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: bit now and just kind of just wanna stay on
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: top of it and just kind of keep myself physically
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: in the best position I can be.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Is it is it harder for offensive line than generally
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: bigger guys right to adjust to the short week than
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: it would be any other position player.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I I don't know. I think I honestly think it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it's equally as bad. I mean, I don't know if
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I should say bad, but it's bad for I think
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for odd positions. Man, I don't even think it's regardless
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of offensive line, running back, line back. I it's just
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it's just a tough transition. So it probably a Yeah,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: EMM and Ross probably feel real.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Good just playing in New Orleans.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: The environment is obviously gonna be low.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: How do you guys kind.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Of prepare for that?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I think it's just the stuff we do this week
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: leading up to the game, working some probably gonna to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: work some silent cadence, probably just gonna work some stuff
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in the noise with the speakers outside and just just
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: try to I mean, I don't know there's I don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: know there's a way you can exactly mimic the the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that that environment. But I think just trying to be
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: as best prepared as we can it's the only answer
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Did you lose You didn't live there when you played
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: in Alabama?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, I lost my freshman years, alright, feel that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it's cool we lose too much.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: How challenging has it been for you? I guess you
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: come back. Walker's in there at left guard thing he's
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: out now, Uh Tyler Shatley's back in there, And how
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: difficult has that transition been.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It's funny cause I was, I mean, I was thinking
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: about this to myself. I feel like play. I played
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: next to shat so many times anytime somebody goes down
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: or any time there's like, uh, SHOT's just like our
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: plug and play guy, and he always just does such
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a good job for it. So when you walk into
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the game, I just I gave him some DAP and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I said, shit, we've we've been here before. So I've
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: been I've been in that position with Shat countless amount
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of times. And he's somebody that we can always rely on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: We know he's gonna always be ready.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Have you seen anton kind of group just a couple
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of weeks, last couple of weeks he've been around.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think, just honestly, just cause he has all the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: everything physically you can have. He he he chicks every box.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I think he's just getting just more comfortable and just
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: getting more used to just NFL football cause I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: everything with Ton will just be reps. The more reps
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he gets, the better and better and better he'll get.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Cause physically he's got given. So I mean, just as
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: long as he can stay on top of this stuff
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: mentally and just keep getting better. The the way he has,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I think the the s guy's in the Scot's a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: limit for him.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And what's it the other day that the last several
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: weeks is sort of kind of giving you guys a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: glimpse of what this team could.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Be in its identity or all.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: So who what do you read as this team's identity.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: In this game. I don't know if we have become
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: figured out yet, but I think we're the thing that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I think probably the reason why you mentioned this is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: because we're kind of just taking steps into that into
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that direction and kind of getting that figured out. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: always just mentioned I always just like to mention the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: people that in the in in this league is just
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it's hard to wire to wire be the best team
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in the in the league, have the bench record. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: think you the the the biggest thing from from my
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: experience is just to be peaking at the right time.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I think we kind of that was kind of like
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: what happened to but what happened on us last year.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Think kind of towards the middle of the season, everybody was
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: just like ah, but then towards the end of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: season we were rolling, and then we just rolled right
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: into the playoffs and where we were able to have
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a little success. So I think it's important to make
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: sure we were just peaking at the right time.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: How fun has it been to block for a guy
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: like Travis especially this year He's breaking all these tackles.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And just running all over. It's fun man. Uh, A
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: lot of times we don't see what like, like I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: had no idea. Well, the only thing I called on
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the the Wildcat play was just him like jogging in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: at the last second. So we oftentimes, miss al I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: miss a lot of the good stuff he does. We
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: just have to catch it, like on the replay or something.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But just we know what type of player he is,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: We know what type of competitor he is, so we
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: can and week out we know we're gonna get from Travis.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: What type of challenge does the Saints let's uh present,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously we know that they have different guys
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Cameron Jordan or Latimo or guys like that, but what
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: do they sort of do well?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's just I think one thing that helps
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: them a lot is that their core of guys they've
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: been there for. I think they they do a good
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: job of keeping like their core guys together, and those
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: guys are just also veteran. There's there's really not much
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you There's not much you can show them that they
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: probably haven't seen before. So I think it's just for
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: us just about being extremely extremely sharp technique wise, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: then mentally just no in mes No mental areas. We
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: gotta be just kind of hitting on all cylinders when
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you you know, when you playing a defense like this,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: appreciate it.
