• 0:49
  Speaker 1: but just having those reps and showing them how can

  Speaker 1: play it, it's been really great for me. And also
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: playing right guard, you know, competing at both. It's it's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: been really great for me so far.
• 0:58

• 1:00
  Speaker 2: say it's like totally offset. They struggle that some guys
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: are comfortable going back and forth and houses the switch bends.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: It feels sometimes off sometimes, but I'm starting to get
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: very comfortable with doing both and at when I first
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: started doing it, it was kind of it was kind of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: awkward just being on that right guard for so long,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But now I feel very confident and comfortable at it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: What did you think when they told you you're gonna
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: start a left guard.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Or like that. Uh. I was just ready for the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: opportunity right and radio attack it. So I wasn't like
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: overthinking it or anything, just going out there and you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: rady to dominate.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, Christian, you've been rotating with Anthony Bradford. What do
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you like about his game?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, we have a similar type of game that somebody's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and dominate and wants to like
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be a maller and he's somebody's gonna be great in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the run game, in the past game, and then somebody's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: going there and going to compete every play.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: What have you learned from like inconfidence game around there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: He's been talking to me a lot about like hands
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and like feet position while like in pass protection. Uh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just how to study film, uh as a guard and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: seeing different things on the field. You're so busy, like
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: getting the trenches dury in the game, what jumps out.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You get to go back and watch the game and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: see the plays are made by running back to wide
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: receivers telling it. It'd be kind of crazy just you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: see how like as often as the lineman, something will
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: build up. So like say for a running back, standpoint
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: us making particular blocks that'll open up a hole for them,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and then seeing like big plays down the field, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like it starts with off of the line. Like we'll
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: go back and films and watch it and say, like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: look at this clean pocket. Like for the Sam touchdown
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: last game, we had a clean pocket which leads up
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a big opportunity for a touchdown.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Pick fans and media and we all get caught up
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like who's gonna start? You got your battling and stuff
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: like that. H As a player, I guess how do
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you approach that? How is your really sick with anthony
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: out there?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And it? Uh, just come out there and compete every day.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You know. We we were with professionals and we're gonna
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: go out there and do our our business. But at
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the end that they were teammates, so we're trying to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: help each other out on and off the field.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Christian, you had to go up against some different defensive
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: tackles last week and joint practice some big players and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Mandre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons talk about the difference of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: going against them versus the guys you face every day here.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Uh it was it was a little bit different. I'll say,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: but the guy you face here or I really really
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like really prepared us going up there. So it was
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I said, we we have a really good defensive line,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and then going against them, it was more they had
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: good players, but I felt our our defensive line was better,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: pretty better than theirs. But it was this great competition.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons and like uh Sweat and then all the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other dudes they had. They were really good competitors, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: our defensive line just going against them all training came
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the definitely prepared us going up there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Anything else, thank you,
