  Speaker 1: start over each week?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely, that's something you have to just come in every day,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: have that mindset you're gonna be the best, have the

  Speaker 2: about the record, don't think about the last game, just
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: focus on the next one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: How much are you guys still trying to form an

  Speaker 1: identity of who you want to be what you guys
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: practice and drill about and talk about.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: We're still working on it every day. We're trying to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: especially as an O line and offense, we're trying to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: form that identity the dominant, just be dominant every play
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: as O line, we want to obviously be the leaders
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: on the field on offense and just be dominant. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: just coming every day and we work on it every day.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, Park, give me a sense of where you think
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you and your teammates are mentally a tough stretch, right
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and it had to be tough to get back to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: work this week. But how'd you feel after a practice? Down?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Where are you?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like we moved on well, we
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: had a great day to day. I felt like it
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: was a great practice, got some good work in. I mean, yes,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: it's been a tough year. We had some obstacles, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: it's about the response and I feel like we're gonna
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: respond well and just we just got to continue to
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: stack these days and just have fun.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You play to the Penn State programer. Winning was your standard.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You won as your rookie here, what's this stretch of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not winning like for you?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It just it just gives me an opportunity to focus
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: back on the fundamentals, you know, just little things, because
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the little things will make big things happen and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: best and that separates the good from the grade. Just
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: how to approach those situations. And I feel like we
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: have a great opportunity in front of us, and I
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: feel like we'll do a great job with it.
• 2:34

• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Devin on injured reserve. Tell me about how you prepare
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: for that and what it's like to see that ball
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: coming at you and not looking down at the guys
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: coming out y, how do you handle that?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You know, it just starts from the preparation, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: attacking each day like you are starting. You know, so
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: even when I wasn't starting and I would approach each
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: day like I was, and I feel like that helps.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: And once it comes to those opportunity where it's time
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: to you're ready to go.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: What's it take to start a winning streak?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Just get back to the little things, you know, doing

• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to the fundamental. That's what it's all about. Him eleven,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: playing as one, competing and having fun. And I feel
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: like we'll get right back on the track.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Even if no one else believes in this team. Does
• 3:16
