 And I'm willing to say here on Up and Atoms that if Jalen is able to continue this type of success through the air, this could be the best team in the NFC. I am not joking. And we'll see if our first guest agrees. And here he is joining us from, I believe, the bro barn, if I'm not mistaken, a Super Bowl champion, three-time pro bowler, all smiles is one of the pillars of the Eagles offensive line. Lane Johnson, hi. How you doing? I'm so good, congrats. I'm gonna just bring in, look, I'm here in LA. I want to get the vibe check on Philly. But this is my associate producer, Marissa, who's obsessed and everyone in, and even in LA is going crazy. Tell me about what's going on in Philly. Yeah, last night was a big game for us. They had a big week against Green Bay last week. So we knew we had a big challenge. I feel like Jalen played out of his mind and the defense really had a great game. Slay, unbelievable game, two picks could have had, like you said, probably four, but just playing lights out and yeah, it was a big win. Yeah, I mean, Hertz put on an absolute clinic. It is the story of the day, everyone, he's the toast of the town. What do you see in him? What's the biggest difference that you've noticed between this year and last year? I just feel like there's no substitution for experience. The more you play, the more you have the ability to learn more about the game and learn from yourself. And really just took a big step forward last night. I just think the things that you can do with his arm and legs are very unique and makes it very hard for the defense to control him. I feel like offensive linemen normally love to run block lane and you guys run more than a lot of teams do. You were number one, the number one run game in the entire league last year. How fun is that? And how much do you prefer it? Well, like the past, like for like an offensive lineman, like there's very little upsides of the game. Like the best thing you can do is not make a mistake, but like open up the game with like true empty or something that's like jumping out of an airplane. You don't know if your parachute's working. It's just get ready to rock and roll. But yeah, no, it definitely, it's a lot of fun getting the tee off and yeah. And I guess some flit pain instead of just taking it. Yeah, it sounds pretty fun there. Okay, we had Joe Thomas on the show, which was very fun and he sung your offensive lines praises. Take a look. I think the Eagles have the best offensive line in the NFL because they have no weaknesses. It's also because they're not injured because they do things the right way during training camp. If you look at their tackles, they probably have the best duo of tackles in the NFL, Jordan Milada and Lane Johnson. Lane Johnson been doing it for a long time, a right tackle. Hi, praise from a future Hall of Famer. Listen, you've been on a Super Bowl team. This is that kind of an offensive line. Does this team feel special? I feel like we're very talented. I mean, obviously there's a lot of work to be done. I think eliminating the distractions and really going into each game, feeling like you're outgun or outmatch and you have to prepare that way. I think it all starts in practice. And yeah, we just have a lot of good energy and kind of looking forward to next week against Washington. And yeah, I know we have a lot of ability so it's just about taking it one week at a time. Lane, you're not even celebrating. You're already on to the next team stop. Yeah, I mean, it was a late night too. When we started at 8.30, probably got home at 1.30, so you give me, it's our day off too, so. Well, I love that you're joining us. What's that torture device to your right? You're talking about getting better. What, where are we looking at here in the bro barn? I'm actually in the corner, it's like where we store equipment. So there's a lot of bars and stuff, so yeah, beware. It looks like- Yeah, my house is very chirpy right now, so I had to get out here. I'm sure everybody's probably still celebrating. I love that. Let's talk about your coach. He's been chirpy a time or two and we love to hear it. He's incredible in front of a microphone. What's your best Nick Siriani story? He's just an extreme competitor. Like when it comes to anything, he's very competitive. I guess the funny storyline last year was like, he was talking about our team planting the seed and sometimes it takes a while to read the benefits of it. And so it was like our season last year, I think we started like one in three or maybe one in five, something like that. And so we got a lot of flags for that. I think there was something to do with the tennis match. I think he got a little bit chirpy. I think it was a giant stand or some fan. But yeah, just a little family chatter. So I thought that was pretty funny. Charping and chatter out of Nick Siriani. So much credit to him for what this team has been able to do in a short period of time. I want to talk about AJ Brown. I've talked about him a lot here on Up in Adams, this new show that I'm doing and he's obviously always open. I think he's the best addition made in the off season as far as wide receivers are concerned. What did he bring to the team that was missing? He just has a presence about him, a physicality. When you look at him, he's six-one, probably 225, 230. And just he runs, I mean, as soon as he catches the ball, he's just very violent with how he runs. And yeah, he just has that dog in him. I think he sets a tone for the room. You know, he sets a tone for the room. I mean, really for the building. I mean, he's just a very special talent. That's a lot of, you know, you need characteristics. But yeah, he does, he sets a tone for botting. Yeah, you can tell out there and what a connection between Jaylen Hertz and himself. So all week long, the framing, you know, people who wear these microphones and put on the makeup and do the whole thing and sit with this lighting, they are all saying, how can you stop the force that is Justin Jefferson? I was one of those people, but it should have been, how can Justin Jefferson possibly get busy when he's going up against Daria Slay? You could tell watching last night from where I was sitting on my couch that it meant something to him. Did it feel like the defense was extra locked in this week because that was a message sending bounce back? Yeah, I think that and then having our, you know, the home crowd advantage, having that noise, you know, that really is a big factor. But yeah, I think, you know, talking about Slay, just be played out of his mind. You know, it's very hard to be a true cover corn this week, going against the best athletes, you know, on the field, week in, week out. Yeah, played out of his mind and he's a man, he was voted captain this year. He's a great leader for all the young guys. It's a good example and how he plays is just unreal. So it's fun watching. Is he underappreciated? I feel like, you know, he's got a great personality, but just the way he plays his ball skills, how fast he is, he's a dynamic player. He's unreal. You mentioned Washington. It just hit me as I haven't even looked at, I don't look at that schedule till tomorrow, but you're going to face a real quarterback who you've protected for so many years. You're facing Carson Wentz. How will you feel playing against him? Man, you really go into the game, just try to be an emotionalist. It's not like I'm out there trying to tackle him. So it's like, you know, what's your defense? Well, I want to win this game, that's the plan. But yeah, that's really what it boils down to. You've been in the league 10 years, it's incredible. Congratulations on that. And you have a very unique relationship with your fan base there in Philadelphia. And you're a Texas guy. You enter Philly, different worlds. I even saw a video of you that they had up yesterday where you're telling Philly fans to get drunk responsibly, of course, but to go have a good time before this game. What does that fan base mean to you? I think they listened. No, I mean, it's just, you know, there's nothing like a Sunday there at the length. I mean, people tailgate, and that's what people look forward to all year. And really, they bring the energy week in, week out. And it's truly a football channel like Texas, like you remember in the movie Friday at Lights. And it's how this place is here. People love football, that's all they know, that's all they love. So when you get a crowd like that and they get involved into it into a game, it makes it special. Yeah, there's just a couple more questions for you. There was a fun tweet yesterday that producers pulled up that somebody, you know, everyone's talking Super Bowl now after how you guys look offensively and defensively. A Bill's Eagles Super Bowl in Phoenix has Bill Barnwell during Waste Management Open Week. Yikes. Your thoughts. What does Nick Saban say? It's all rat poison, it's all bad for you, just to read any of it too much into it. It all makes for good headlines, but like I said, it goes down to week in, week out and being consistent. And so, that's something we've got long to do. You're a perfect person for that locker room to keep everybody level-headed. You said it, eliminate distractions. You're a veteran in this league. And last year you were detailing your challenges with anxiety. There was an intense NFL season, of course, that you were playing through. Has that approached or it sort of changed your approach to this year and any thoughts on life post football? Yeah, I mean, it's just really about adapting and learning more about yourself. I thought that's what I ultimately did was just learning more about myself and became better at the end of it. I thought I could play my best football and really in a good headspace. But yeah, you know, talking to people, I've thought a lot of the younger generation which is just a new dynamic that kids face nowadays. And so I think just talking and being up with people is the best remedy. What were some of the resources that you sort of took advantage of? You've been so open about this. I talked to Brandon Marshall about it on Friday. Everyone's open about mental health now, especially in the NFL. It's really great to see. What were some of the resources you took advantage of last season into this season that you can maybe share? I really just seeing, you know, sports psychologists or therapists, you just really had to learn more about yourself and break down some of the walls that you may have, you know, being prideful about stuff. Yeah, I would say that. It's really about communication and being honest with yourself. I feel like men sometimes can be very stubborn. I'm not gonna speak for myself, can be very stubborn. And so sometimes it's hard for us to, I guess, fully express ourselves. And so learning to do that and being open with your teammates, I feel like in the end it's just the best thing. It's about communication. We are communicating to you. We love to have you on the show. We are celebrating a Victory Tuesday with Lane Johnson. Go get yourselves some Mickey Mouse pancakes and mimosas in there. Yeah, we'll go find that. All right, thank you so much, Lane Johnson. Of course, we love having you.
