  Speaker 1: Job done. When there are operational issues, a penalty here
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and there, what's kind of like the message in the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: huddle or on the sideline about you know, cleaning it
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: up or just forgetting about it and going back to work.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's definitely something we want
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to clean up. Someone we try to work on and
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: have been working on during the week the past few weeks,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: just being a cleaner and crisper operation. But I mean,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I think during the game, when things like that happen,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you got to just move on and get to the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: next play and try to not let one play, you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: affect the whole drive or you know, a whole quarter
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: or anything like that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, And when Trevor fell down on that touchdown, you
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: were kind of out there on that side. When did
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you realize what had happened? And your instincts kind of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: kicked in and you look for somebody to block. But
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what was going on from your vantas point?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I actually I didn't even know Trevor
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: fell down until well after the game when I saw
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: my parents. They were talking about the play and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was like, what do you mean he fell down? And
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: they showed me the video of the actual play. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: had no idea. I assumed that there was just pressure
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: from the right side and he had to scramble left
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: because when I looked up, he was running kind of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: past me towards the end zone. So I had no idea,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: but it was a crazy play. And yeah, it's a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: really really good move on his part.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you, John Shipley, Hey Walker, thanks for doing this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Can you just talk a little bit about what is
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: kind of Liam and his attitude and his desire to,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: you know, keep running the ball even maybe when things
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: aren't going well, and to stay true to it. What
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: is that kind of meant for you guys in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: offensive line.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's been great to have a coach
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that's just kind of has a lot of faith in,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: has a lot of trust in the offensive line, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: just kind of stays true to his word about you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we think we're a good team, we think we can
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: run the ball well, and we're gonna stay true to it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And I think it opens up other parts of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: game too. When you can stick to the run, it
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: can help with the play action, help with the past game,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and get guys open on the field. So I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he's done a really good job of that so far.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: And then Robert Hainsey, I mean, what's it been like,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you know, getting to know him so far and how's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: how's he kind of helped set the tone for the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: room since he played for Liam last year.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Robert's been a great addition for us obviously,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: like you said, him playing for Liam last year really
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: helped him come in already know the offense, and yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: be a great leader for us both on and off
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the field, not just in our room, but on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: whole team. He's a great guy and a great leader
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: on our team.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks for Ryan, ben Walker, I got two for you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Working with Ezra next to each other, how much is
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that relationship communication grown just in these first five games? Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I mean when we were kind of the only guys
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that had really played next to each other on this line,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But like you said, we I mean we haven't played
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: too too much, so Yeah, these first few weeks have
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: been really integral for the whole line, but definitely for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: me and Ezra having to work next to each other
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a lot. And yeah, we have great communication kind of
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: throughout the week on just our game plan and how
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we want to go about things all the way into
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the game, and then I think during the game we
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: do a really good job of staying on the same
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: page and just trying to work together. And last one
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: for me having a new old line coach and Sean
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: come in, what do you like about the way he
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pushes you but also encourages to get better. Yeah, Sean's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: been a great addition for the team and really huge
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: for for our line room. He's been a great coach.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And yeah, like you said, I mean he pushes his
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: hard you know, through training camp and still you know
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: throughout the season both you know, in the in the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: film room and on the field. But you know, you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: know he has faith in each and every guy that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: steps out there, and you know trust that that we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: ready to go and ready perform.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jiblie.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Did you have another question? Yeah, yes, ma'am, I got
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: two more of That'sie Walker Jonah stepping in last night
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: when you know Robert went down. What was that just
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: say about him as a rookie going into a big
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: game like that and you know, being able to just
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: being able ready to go.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and Jonah, you know through the first
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: five weeks being a rookiees already, uh, you know, great
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: pro He was ready to go, ready to step in
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in a big game like that Monday night football. It's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not an easy situation for anybody, much alone the guy
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that's you know, it's your fifth game in the NFL.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So that was huge for us though, especially you know
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: at the end their pressure pack situation, two minutes drill
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to win the game against the Chiefs, and he a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: great job and let us and communicate well. So I
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: can't say enough about Jonah.

  Speaker 3: or somebody the coaches are really challenging this offseason. Just
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: what have you seen from him and kind of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: work that he's put in to get where he's at
• 5:15
