00:00 Cordell, obviously the past couple of weeks you guys have been able to move
00:04 the ball on offense 30 plus points in each game. What was the key today to
00:08 keeping it up and doing what you did? Yeah you know I think one of the big
00:11 things is we stayed ahead of the chains. You know we weren't in third and
00:15 long a ton and you know our playmakers were making plays. Our backs are
00:20 running the ball extremely hard and then our receivers are doing what they do. You
00:24 know we know how great they are and whenever they get the ball in their
00:27 hands they they make big things happen. The running backs are gonna get a
00:31 lot of love there's no doubt. Receivers, Chase gets plenty of love, always open
00:35 all that stuff. But you guys as a unit offensive line wise it feels like the
00:39 past couple of weeks at least from my eyes Pittsburgh on it you guys have been
00:43 playing even better than you were before. Is that fair? Does it feel like
00:48 it's coming together more so? You know just the more reps you get together you
00:53 know the more continuity gets formed. So you know we just got to continue to play
00:58 well and you know allow our playmakers to make plays and just take it
01:02 one day at a time and get better and the results are gonna take care of
01:05 themselves. This is the first game I'm sure you heard this stat first game in
01:08 40 this was the 43rd game you had given up a sack as a team in 42 straight. I
01:13 know that's not always on the offensive line but it would have been a franchise
01:17 record and you avoided that. No franchise record, no sacks today. That's pretty big.
01:22 Yeah you know like I said a lot of it comes down to staying ahead of the
01:25 chains you know being able to run the ball efficiently on first down and
01:29 getting a call on second down that you know allows us to run the
01:34 football as well or get short game we don't have to get a huge chunk play on
01:37 second down and you know it just allows us to play ahead of the sticks it
01:41 makes our job really easier. Alex is smiling ear-to-ear right now
01:45 you're smiling big. I talked to Orlando obviously Ted's in a great mood. You guys
01:49 are in a great mood right now. What's going through your mind? How you feel?
01:53 Anytime you can get a win in this league I mean it's it's hard you know every
01:57 week is a knockout dragout game and to be able to get one get one at home in
02:02 front of our fans is always always a lot of fun. This screen game has been so
02:06 explosive the past couple of weeks with both backs obviously Chase Brown with a
02:10 54 yarder Joe Mixon had a 40 plus yarder against the Jags another 46 yarder I
02:15 think it was today really explosive what's been the key in the screen game
02:19 because I know it's not just them getting in space it's something you guys
02:22 are doing too. Yeah our our backs are setting us up really well you know
02:26 playing off the blocks extremely well and our coaches are putting us in great
02:30 great situations you know and just just playing fast and getting out in space
02:34 and like I said letting our playmakers do what they do you know trying to get
02:38 our hands on people and allow our backs to make reads and cuts off of us. I've
02:42 gone through this entire interview without asking you about Jake Browning
02:45 but what has it been like to see him go out there and play the way he has over
02:50 the past couple of weeks? Extremely happy for him you know a guy that that puts in
02:54 all the work is always ready you know a guy that that does everything the right
02:59 way you know you always root for guys like that and and extremely happy for
03:02 him and let's keep it rolling. Have you ever seen hand cramp take a
03:07 quarterback out of a game? It was it was crazy it was crazy and like his hand was
03:12 you know you could tell and so you know AJ did a great job coming in and
03:19 commanding the huddle and you know putting us in situations to score. You
03:23 said he didn't drink enough water will you guys remind him to drink water
03:27 moving forward? Yeah we definitely will these these chillier games it makes it
03:31 tough you know to consume water but we got to make sure we stay on top of it.
03:35 Appreciate the time enjoy the win. Yeah of course thank you.
