  Speaker 2: I feel like we're definitely getting that chemistry together. How
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: we how us as a unit up front supposed to be.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, We sit down, have play
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: card games, things like that, just to building that chemistry
• 1:53

  Speaker 2: the field just in case we you know what I'm saying,

  Speaker 2: We got to have community up front just to be
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: able to get done what we wanna get done and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: be on the same page with that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Alright, give us a scouting report on some of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen so far in camp. Let's start with the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: right tackle. I don't know how much you've lined up
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: against Anton Harrison so far.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Uh, Antoine, He's he's a guy.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: He's Uh, he's definitely developing, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You can tell you he's just coming from cottage like me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: He's out there thinking a little bit. But he's definitely
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a great player. He's one of those guys. He's kind
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of patient with his hands, got good feet, you know
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But he's still gonna take some work
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with him, just like anybody else that would be transitioning
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: from college to the NFL.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Luke Fordner's going in the year two the center. Uh,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he seems a little bit bigger, stronger. I know he's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: been in the weight room. How different is he?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Uh from the looks looks to me. Don't get to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: go on the inside against him like that, but Luke,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: he's one of those guys like he's embracing his role
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and he's doing what he's supposed to do, doing what
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: his coach is asking him do, and he he's looked
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: so far from one on ones it looks looks it
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: looks like he's taking a big stride from where he
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was last year.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Left tackle situation. Cam Robinson getting a lot of his
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: work with the second team, at least early in camp,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so Walk a little stepped in there. He stepped in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: there great the last month of the season. Last year
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: got better as it went on. But Walker's just long
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and just a big human.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Being, right Walker, Yeah, most definitely That's who I've been
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of reps against Walker. He's one of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: those guys. He's definitely gotten better from last year as well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: from coming into camp, from absorbing the power with things
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of that nature. Patient with his hands, he's not so
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: he switches up his set every now and then, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one of the main things that he's doing right now
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that I'm you know what I'm saying working on with
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: how he progressed from last year is timing up his hands.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's trying to be very patient with his hands. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like Walker, he's taking great strides as well.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Now you said at school in that way with him
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: working on his hands. But does he do some some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of the same things with you, Hey, you know this
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: move worked great on me, He's tried a different way.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: How do you guys kind of trade notes?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So like with Walker, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: just sometimes like we're going one on ones, I just say,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: for instance, I do a speed power style club and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I'll say I win on it. Coming back from that,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I'll try to do the same thing to set him
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: up for that. But like that, that's when I feel
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: him being more patient with him switching up something to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: try to adjust to what I'm doing. Then like later
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: on in the locker room, we might have a little
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: back and forth, like I like how you flash that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: hand to get get the timing of this hand and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: things of that nature. So it's just communic came back
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and forth and understanding each other from an offensive standpoint
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and from a past or standpoint. You know what I'm saying,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: We're working together and just kind of giving each other
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: little little gimmicks on why he's doing things that he's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: doing and things why I'm doing things that I'm doing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Final thought with you here and kind of big picture.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Is it too early in camp to know what the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: identity of this defense is going to be? Or do
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you have to kind of see that in preseason games
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: or is it two it's week two of camp. Can
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you say that now or do you have to wait
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit and play some real games.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Me personally, I feel like I didn't see the Albaha defenses.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, It's already been ridden. Like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we got a lot of the same guys from last year,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: maybe one missing piece or but we filled in that piece,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I feel like we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: already set a standard to where we wanted to be
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: last year. Now it's just time to go exceed that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: standing and go above and beyond that standard that we've
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: had set for ourself last year and just continue growing
