• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Just talk a little bit about just sort of how
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. You know, Doug mentioned earlier about how
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes these things take time to kind of figure out.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Obviously there were issues yesterday. Where do you see this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: line going going moving forward? Because what we saw yesterday
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: may not be what we're seeing in a month from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: now or two much to play.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously, like people have said, it's week two,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: we're all still figuring things out. We came in, we
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: had a good game plan. We had to execute Better's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: offensive line. We had a lot of great players out
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: there as well as the whole offense did, but we
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: also had a lot of things that we had to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: clean up. We watched the tape and you know we
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: were talking about and the biggest thing is just knowing
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that we are a good group, keeping that confidence and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: just moving on to the next game, moving on to Houston.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Learn from this as much as you can, but don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: dwell on it and don't lose any confidence as.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: An offensive line.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Did you guys anticipate going in that there would be
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the disparity that there was between the run and the
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: past two to one more than a two to one ratio.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't. I don't know if we ever
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: really know exactly how the game is going to play out.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you never know, you know what the scenarios
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: are going to be that are going to force you
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to run the ball or pass the ball. I mean,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sure every game we would love to be as
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: balanced as we can, but different games call for different things,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and uh, yesterday called for us to pass, and you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we had to do our job, which is past protect,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and obviously we had to do that a lot more
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: than run the ball.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yesterday, Parker did see when Doug rolls dice on fourth down.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: First of all, do you guys take that as a
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: compliment that he believes says enough belief in you that
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the offensive looks acute dead? But then again, is it
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: does it seem to be a little cyclical? You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: you you run a little bit of a hot streak
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: like early last year? Uh he knows? Or is there
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: a certain percentage, an analytical percentage maybe that the team
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: feels like.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It should hit on that Yeah, I mean, I don't
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: know about the analytic part of it. I know that's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: kind of above my head in terms of that department
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: we have here. But as offensive lineman, and we love it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We love to get an opportunity to go out there
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and earn the first down and keep the drive alive
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and give ourselves a chance to score. Doug's an aggressive
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: coach and we love playing for him. And that's one
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of the reasons we love playing form is that he
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: has a lot of trust in us as a unit,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and we'll give us those opportunities to prove them right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got to execute better, but we you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: hopefully he'll he'll keep giving us his opportunities in the future.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But you also think one of.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: The things is if they execute better on third down,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: then we'll have to worry about facing the fourth down.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously, yeah, that was that was an
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: issue for us yesterday with third downs, and we got
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to be better there. But fourth downs are you're always
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: gonna get in a position where you have a chance
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to go forward or not throughout the season. So we're
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: going to do our best. So if we do get
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: those fourth and shorts, try to execute. But yeah, I mean,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: obviously you'd love to convert every third down.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Young guy like Anton, what's really your message you know
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: to him? After you know, for two starts of his career.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think he's, uh, he's doing a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: great job. I mean, he he's learning a lot, he's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: building that confidence. It's hard. I mean, this is a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: hard league, and it takes a lot of reps and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: live reps, game reps against really good guys like we
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: went against last week and this week, and we'll continue
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to go against. So he's doing a great job. He's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: learned a lot. He's gonna be a great player. We
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: all know it. He knows it. He's in you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you know, just just keep his confidence. I mean, he's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really a great player. He works really hard and and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: he's gonna, uh, you know, be a really force for
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this team.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: From your experience, like your first two starts in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: NFL being a young tackle, like your head still kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: of spin, right, I think he's still going really fast.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, it's always hard, especially as a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: rookie those first few games you're trying to feel things out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the moment kind of, you know, it starts to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: feel a little bigger than you might have anticipated. Too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You're going against guys they've only seen on TV for years,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: so it's an awesome opportunity, but there's also a lot
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of pressure that comes with it, and so that's something
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that any young guy has to kind of work through,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and he's working through that right now. You know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: One of the things Doug said in his postgame press
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: conferences today about Anton was, Hey, he's going to learn
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: from this, And then in talking with him in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: locker room afterwards, it it does seem like, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and maybe he was just saying it to a piece
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the question or whatever, but it does seem like he's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: taking the approach of of taking some lessons from that
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: game rather than kicking himself or beating himself up over
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: not performing as well as he liked.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's a mature kid. He's going to
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: take those lessons and he's gonna learn and he's gonna
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: be better for it. And we all know that he's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be a great player for us. All right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Thanks appreciateship.
