  Speaker 1: been cut way down. Do you think how much of

  Speaker 1: that component is that? Hardly any ball starts, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: person things like that and everything. Does that? I mean,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is it is that a sign of a really good unit?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Any communication when you don't have whole lot of that? Oh? Yes, man,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But it's definitely still work to be done. I feel
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: like we left some things out there on the field
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that we can get corrected, and we're just working on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that and just trying to get better each weekend. Coach
• 0:48

• 1:05
  Speaker 1: just going. They're just trying to get better every week
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and help my team win games. How can time? It
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: almost looks like you you false stop every time even
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: when you're not looking at where you figure out the time,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and the nacab for doing that? And can you tell
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: everybody else to h it's just being on the road man.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I got a different center this year, so
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I've just been trying to work it in practice. But yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I mean to the naked i could look like I'm
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: fall starting, but I'm just timing it up to get
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: off the same time the ball being snap. So you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: playing a tackle, you gotta be able to get the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: ball with urgency. You know, these addressors are coming out
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the ball very fast. So as much as I can
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: get out the ball as fast as I can, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: do it. And coming to the officials, it's not really
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the ends is mainly the coaches. Like I've even seen
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a video with Pete Carroll last year and we was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: playing Seattle was saying something about it, but um, you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: know it's it's not too bad, but that nobody says ante.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I mean a ref may come up to me and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: say screwed up a little bit in my stance, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: nothing about getting off the ball. Yeah, there you go,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: perfect most action two games. Mean, do you think that's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: one of the high measure one of the best mens,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: good offensive lines, quarterback. Most definitely, that's always our goal
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to go out and keep him protected and so he
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: can go out there and make a great play. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we take a lot of pride in that. And I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: feel like we had a great week of preparation, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we've got another great defensive going against this week.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So we're just trying to have great weeks of preparation
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: every weekend and just honing our technique and get better. Uh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of timing patterns. He gets the ball
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: out of his hand very quickly this week, especially that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: one touch Champions. He had a kind of bosch the time,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So you know, you know, I know you'd like to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: see the ball get outage in real quick. But do
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you guys have the confidence you can really hold it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in the saying that if he's got Oh yeah, most definitely.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Anytime we to get a ball farther down the field,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we definitely got to protect a little longer, and we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: know that, so you know, we just game playing and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: know what we gotta do to get the job done
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in order to you know, just go through defenses and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: be able to attack them different ways. You take more
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: pride in having a sack free game or or like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a nine minute drive that you had where you were
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: able to offensive line opening holes for the running game,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to just control the clock there. Really, we just we've
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: just been honing in on our time possession. I feel
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: like we've been doing good with our time possession. He's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: past two games and uh, we're just trying to just
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: control the line of scrims, control the front four whoever
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we're going against, and I feel like we've been doing
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that pretty well. You guys got Philly this week. If
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: any of y'all talked about Doug Peterson's history up there
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with the Eager yet no, not yet, but we heard you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: They have nine sacks this past game, So we definitely
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: got a big task ahead. You have a committed and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I have been an issue for you before before, really,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so what what's been the difference there is? Was that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: more emphasis on you to keep hands in be a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: little bit you know, Oh yeah, yeah, definitely an emphasis
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and just on hone and on that, just more focused
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on that and just making sure I'm staympunity free. Have
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: been like playing next to Brandon Sheriff this year, it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been amazing. Man. He's a great pro, a great vet man.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: He's he's definitely big adding him to our room and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he's been helping us a lot, not just me, everybody
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: on in the room, and uh, we love him to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: death and we've been learning a lot from him. Having
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: somebody like that in the room. When you can add
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a guy that's got all pros behind his name like that,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: how much can he bring to the table just to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: make everybody better? Oh? He brings a lot. Man. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we all listened to him. He's a great leader and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: he's been doing a phenomenal job with oldline and not
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: even just the Old line, just the whole team. Everybody's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: been loving him. How much have you noticed because other
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: players have spoken about it, Uh, it seems like Kim
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Robinson is taking a little bit more vocal leadership role
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this year, and maybe part of it his departure of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Brandon That might have a little bit to do with it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But have you know, have you noticed a little bit
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: difference in his demeanor. Oh yeah, most definitely. And Kim
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: has been definitely taking up the leadership role and he's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: been doing a great job. And we love him the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: deaf too, and he's been doing a great job just
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know, keeping online together there and just being a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: great leader overall. That fourth and one player that James
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Robinson broke for the big run. When you get the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: play call like that and you know that Ducks trusting,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: trusting you guys to open the whole, how do you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: feel it feels good? Man? They presented that front to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: us and we've been working at in practice this week
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and we felt like if we got that chance to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: run that play against that front, it will be a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: home run. So I feel like I just looked up,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I just blocked my guy, and I looked up and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: my seeing James rolling down the field. So it was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a great feeling. Though, what was it about that front?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Because somebody yesterday the lockero was saying something about they
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: weren't sure whether it was going to be a five
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: front or six front. It was a six man front.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So we just mainly wanted to run that play versus
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: six man front. You know, we knew if we got
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that that front, it would probably be a good run.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: If not a house call, will definitely be a first down.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: We're just trying to convert and it ended up being
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a home run shot, So it was good. How much
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of it was the whole how much of it was
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: James sort of Travis described it as dropped down and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: then bounce it back on the outside side. It was.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It was really just everybody collectively doing their job. Everybody
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just had to get on the man and we know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you know, once James gets through, he's gonna make a play.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So it was good. Though I'm very pad to be
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: looking at stop what you have more knowing that either
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: travels for James, that both of them are so good
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at picking up what's just doss. Does that helped you, guys,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and maybe your mentality at all on those almost definitely
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: man not just the running beast to tight ends. Also,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they do great job in the in the past protection
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and we know that they're gonna go out there and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: help us out a lot and keep Trevor clean, so
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of confidence in their ability co
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: trash on that. James in touchdown t shirts, he had
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a saying he called touchdown City. So every week. We're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: trying to make it a touchdown city, everybody trying to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: score and everybody trying to get a T shirt. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of T shirts made with like
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the Jaguar touchdown, like the screen and the actual touchdown.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, but he got in fronted on the T shirts.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And anytime you score, everybody get a chance to win
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a T shirt. So it's like a gift. Oh yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: everybody got a Yeah, it's a T shirt every time
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you touch down score. Yeah, because like you know, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: were to cut off footy to practice, so the T
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: shirts are like to cut off you were as a practice. Everybody,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: everybody on, everybody whoever is involved in that place who
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: has impact on that play. So now it's like we
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: didn't get enough T shirts made. So once you get
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a T shirt, you get like a star added to it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: This is a little joke thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you didn't watching any football college football shirt,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: not that much, but I know what, I know what happened.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah good, that was a
