 What's the mentality with this offensive line just since all the shuffling has been happening? Just continue to grow on some of the good things we did against the Texans, especially in that run game. You know, we were making lanes, fitting good combos and things like that, and then obviously cleaning up, unforced errors on our end, and just playing, ultimately, a cleaner game. Obviously, you want to win, but how much fun was it to get to play a whole game after as much time as you put in working and working and not really getting that opportunity? Of course. You know, it's fun to get out there and show what you can do a little bit. Like you said, though, would have loved to come away with a win, and that didn't happen. But you know, you're always having fun when you're out there. Did you feel more comfortable as the game went on, or did you feel pretty settled right from the start? Yeah. I mean, of course, settling in there, you feel a little bit more comfortable as the game goes on. But, you know, there was never really any moments where I didn't know what to do or couldn't get the guys on the right page. Obviously, I mean, a couple, you know, cadence things, snap, whatever. But as far as, you know, I'd be in things and getting out there and getting calls out. Everything was fine. And the soreness level yesterday on the scale of one to ten? Scale of one to ten. I don't know. Maybe a five, six. With a lot of the guys, like I mentioned, injured on this slide, including Ben Jones, who's been a leader. Do you, in a way, I know it's weird, but like, feel like you can step up a little bit, especially in a short week? For sure. You know, this is my sixth year working in the NFL, so I've seen how things are ran around here, especially being Ben's backup for a while now. So, you know, I was expected to, you know, run some early morning meetings, stuff like that, that he does, and kind of just stepped in there and he showed me how to do it. Great. So it's been pretty smooth stepping into that role. When you're doing the same thing over and over again, and the longer you are in your career, the more times you've done that same thing. So you have to be prepared and willing to learn the longer you are in the league, you know, across the board. Everybody always has something to learn. You talk about preparing every day like you're starting. You've had a long time and not gotten a lot of meaningful steps. How fun was it to get out there and play a game and do all that for a team? Yeah, absolutely. It was a blessing. My family was here. My wife, my son, were here to watch me play. You know, it was a true blessing and, you know, kind of prayers answered. And, you know, I was just super excited about my opportunity to go out there and play. And, you know, so, yeah, like I said, I just feel truly blessed and I'm ready for, you know, whatever opportunity I get. I mean, you're certainly not a rookie, but were you nervous at all? Were you at the employer? No, I come in, you know, everybody, I come in every day prepared like I'm, you know, going to play. And I've done that for six years. And I think if you're willing to do that and fight the good fight and go to, you know, the full time doing that, I think you give yourself a really good chance to be successful. But have you ever lost patience along the way and started to ask yourself, is this worth it? Oh, I mean, yeah, it's, like I said, it's a tough and unforgiving sport. And I think that the more you stay and prepare like that, the better shot you got to capitalize on an opportunity when it arises, regardless of the circumstances. People often say that there can be a huge jump from game one to game two in a season, considering the old line, sort of game one for you guys all together next week. Did you make a big jump Thursday nights or by week, 18th? Yeah, we're preparing and ready to go out there and fight, and that's what we're going to do. Yeah, we're just taking it one day at a time. We're going to be coachable and be ready to come out Thursday fired up. Coach Rabel said the message this week is say less, do more. What does that mean to you guys? It's pretty self-explanatory. I mean, there's really not much that needs to be said. There's just more action needs to be done. And that's what we intend to do. Last week was really the first game for this unit on the offensive line. You think you can make a big jump between now, Thursday night, or between now and week 18? I don't ever make any big jumps. I think we can clean up just the mental stuff in the game. We make big jumps this point in the season. I think we just clean up the things mentally that we can, media, there's a group. How important is that to get you guys clicking on all cylinders up front? Definitely it's most important for us. Like everything starts to align up front. So definitely with a short week, we'll definitely be on it and make sure we got those details in hand. What's the kind of message in here this week, a short week, and knowing that you want to break this five games get up? Definitely that is the message. Like I said, it's cleaning up those small details. That's the biggest that we can make within this short amount of time that we have right now, just focus in on those small details. How do you guys feel like after that first game with these new parts together that you guys did? And Corey Levin kind of saying, I kind of stepping up as a leader too, being behind better these years? Yeah, I said guys handled it well. Like I said, Roos got in there and had a hip of a game. Levin had a great job as well. Like I said, we all have a few players here there, but for most part, guys handled it well. And I think we did a pretty good job as a group. I just need to continue and clean up those small things that we did and do so well and whatever stuff. Asking some of the guys about the Dallas Pass Rush, what do you see when you see those here? Definitely talented guys in front of everybody doing this league. I mean, we still got to go out there and do our job, no matter who it is. So that's how we're expecting to play our keys and do what we have to do. Mike Parsons, the guy that you have to know where he is at all times? Definitely. You always got to keep an eye on him. He can be anywhere. So you got to count for him when they replay. You mentioned there's a lot of talented pass rushers in this league, but is there something about him that sets him apart from what you've seen? Mike, every week you're playing somebody really good and he's definitely in the league. One in the league, obviously, he's the leading candidate for defensive MP, so definitely somewhere to count for, for sure.
