00:00Looks like maybe a D-lineman got you up here on the neck or something.
00:17They pulling out some claws on you today?
00:20Yeah, we put hands on each other.
00:22You know, it's just part of it and, you know, you live to battle another day.
00:26Speaking of those battles, what do you notice in the difference between fully grown men,
00:31developed players you got to go up against and are you ready for that challenge to take
00:35the next step right now?
00:36Absolutely, I'm ready for the challenge.
00:38I think the biggest thing for me that I've noticed is just the intensity every play.
00:42You know, I think in college you get a lot of DTs that, you know, take plays off and
00:46here in the NFL, man, they're going 100% every play so that's just something you got to get
00:50used to.
00:51You got to get used to, you know, battling 100% every play and I think that's, you know,
00:55the biggest difference.
00:56How's this move to center going for you?
00:58It's going good.
00:59You know, definitely, you know, doing OTAs, getting used to it.
01:02I'm really comfortable at it now and, you know, just continue to perfect my craft and
01:06continue working and, you know, compete for that job.
01:09Is the snapping process of it the biggest adjustment for you switching over from guard?
01:13Absolutely, yeah.
01:14You know, I did a little bit in college here and there but, yeah, the snap's definitely
01:18been the biggest change.
01:19So, I wanted to ask you about that because, obviously, you know, president of the Cooper
01:22Beebe Fan Club here.
01:23I love your college tape.
01:24You're my guy.
01:25But I heard at K-State, you guys would do offensive line practices where you'd shuffle
01:30things and you would play different positions.
01:32So, how has that even helped you for this transition?
01:34Absolutely.
01:35I think the biggest thing for me is just understanding, you know, how to play each position and, you
01:40know, kind of their techniques and, you know, what their footwork is, you know, what is
01:44their mental process and it helps me, you know, coming in at center because now I know,
01:49you know, what my guard's thinking, what my tackle's thinking so we can, you know, just
01:52put it all together and, you know, I can help, you know, kind of smooth things out.
