  Speaker 2: into play and working with the guy next year and
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: communicating over communicating, So coach mcdonald's' preaching. So between having
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: three guys on the offensive line and tight ended part
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: of the scroup, what's like to have a collection of
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: rookies from the drag class kind of going in all
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: up the front being a part of this together. Yeah,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it's heavy, that's for sure. So you know we're gonna
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: be moving people around, I know, and then you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in the past game just got to stay in front
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of the guy, and you know at tight end they
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: just got to do their job too. So uh, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: offensive line wise, it's it's nice. You know, we're all
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: three of our lockers and next to each other, just getting
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to know each other. It's day one, you know, I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: just just met guys parents and stuff like that. So
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: it's been really cool, really really fun. You know, good
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: good class to be a part of. You know, a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: lot offensive guys, so really excited to be a part
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of this group. Every all three of the linemen that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we're drafted in this class, including you, and all have
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: tackle background. So what kind of dynamic you already And
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you'd be sensing there working next to Bryce, like, hey.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: He understands what I'm doing in this position. He's playing guard.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You might get some experience there. How does that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Ease this transition come throws when you've got three guys
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that have multiple position experience.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Like that, Yeah, that's a good question. You know with us, us,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: all three of us, I think we're all kind of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Swiss army. Nice to keep hearing is just you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: being able to play multiple positions. And with all of us,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I think playing left tackle, especially like Bryce today, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: remember there's a play and you know, I think he's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: trying to help me as much as you can because
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: at tackle you're just you know trying to try and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know, take advantage you can just work with the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: guards and stuff like that. But you know, maybe in
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: his mind he was just like thinking tackle still, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: we all got to etased to whatever. So you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I was playing a little tackle, and I know Gray
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was getting in some inside work and stuff. But you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: being left tackles important to a college team and very
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: important to the pro team obviously, and just the maybe
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the most important alignment. You know, you may not touch
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the ball every play, but you gotta protect a quarterbacks
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: flying side. So I think we all take pride and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: protecting it. And then also you know, being a leader
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: on our line, so it should be fun, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: being with those two.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well we talked you right after the draft. That sounded
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: like maybe they're gonna play with guard. Mean, that looks
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like you're back at tackle.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Is that kind of a play or you know what.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just going with it every day, honestly. But whenever
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: they want me to play, I told them, you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: like you want to put me a tight end kick
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: or whatever, I'll do my best and try my best.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: That's all I can say.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The line rooms are kind of their own unique thing,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Like what's this room starting to feel like? At least
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the group that you got out there after rookies and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and what do you look at that you respect an
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: offensive line?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're starting to get to know each other.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You know, guys that come from all over the place,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and that's just what a line room is, just kind
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: of a melting pot of people and personalities, and a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: lot of us have similar hobbies and stuff like that,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: but I think we're all the same people. We're all
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: gonna go eat a bunch of food, you know, right
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: after this, so you know, just gonna be geting weight,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I guess, and pushing people around should be pretty fun.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Impression of the coach band.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's great. You know, he knows what he wants
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: out of guys, and he's very high de manning, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know that's what I'd like to appreciating the coach
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and you know, expects a lot out of us, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: high expectations like that, you know, usually lead to good results.
• 3:12
