00:00 >> All right, what are the emotions like going into your first NFL game?
00:03 >> I mean, I'm excited, you guys, you know, this moment.
00:06 So I'm just preparing this week like I'm gonna play and
00:11 just take this full week of preparation and learn from the guys around me and
00:15 just come into this game ready to play and just excited for the experience.
00:20 >> It's really no secret the depth on this offensive line,
00:22 like you guys, you're young, have a lot of proof, not a lot of experience.
00:27 Is there any special message being conveyed to you guys heading into that?
00:31 >> Shoot, I mean, I think we got a lot of bets on the line.
00:34 We got dudes that played six, seven, eight years, and
00:36 they're able to teach a lot of the young guys, I mean, everything.
00:40 It's brought them to that point, so it's been great to learn from them.
00:43 >> What has been some of the biggest advice from guys like Braden or
00:47 even Bernard?
00:48 Bernard's going into his second year, but kinda had to come along pretty quickly.
00:51 >> Shoot, just little technique things like here and there.
00:54 I mean, I feel like they've been able to elevate my game a ton since just even
00:57 being here, just picking their heads with questions and all that.
01:02 So I mean, there's countless number of things, I'd say.
