This defense is a 72 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: really good defense, so a great challenge for us, especially 73 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: in the in the back end. A secondary that's that's 74 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: really good. Maybe not a lot of big names, but 75 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: but just a group that's that's physical, they're fast, they 76 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: can kind of do everything. So be a great challenge 77 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: for us and we always look forward to to matchups 78 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: like that. You know, it kind of makes you prepare 79 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: a little a little harder. You watch some of the 80 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: tape and you realize, all right, I gotta I gotta 81 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: bring it this week. You see some of these safeties 82 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: coming downhill and you're like, all right, I'm gonna have 83 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: to put the big boy, big boy pads on this 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: week and and get ready to hit somebody. 85 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: Adam. 86 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: When you have a quarterback that's young and trying to 87 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: figure it out and is struggling, how do you know 88 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: as a leader and as a veteran when to give 89 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: him a pep talk and pet him on the back 90 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: and say we all have your back. And how do 91 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: you know when to just leave them alone and let 92 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: him be. How do you have to judge that that 93 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: fine line? 94 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it really just goes off 95 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: of you know, letting it be natural. Right. You know, 96 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: if there is a situation that comes up and you 97 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: feel like you can have a one on one conversation 98 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: and it's it's just you two. You know, I think 99 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 3: I think those kind of naturally happen, and I've always 100 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: kind of felt that way that you build you build 101 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: these relationships first so that you can have those natural 102 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: conversations and it doesn't have to be forced. And you know, 103 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: he's a lot of athletes, I'd say ninety nine percent 104 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: of athletes, especially at this level, they're harder than it 105 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 3: on themselves than anyone else is on them. So, uh, 106 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: he already he already knows, you know, what, what he 107 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: feels that he needs to be better at and how 108 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: he can be better. And you know, me personally, I 109 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: know how I could get better. You know, right when 110 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: you do something as an athlete, you kind of like, 111 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: all right, I could have done a lot better there, 112 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: and this is how we're going to fix it. So 113 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: I say that all to say that sometimes there doesn't 114 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: need to be a whole lot to be said because 115 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: he knows it before or before we even say anything. 116 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 3: But yeah, just a lot of great conversations about about 117 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 3: just experience really just things that I've seen in the 118 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: past with different guys or personally and just trying to 119 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: share those experiences. 120 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 5: Well, and let me ask you about that because I'm 121 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 5: not gonna pretend I know a lot about what's going 122 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 5: on in Carolina with the Panthers, with that young quarterback price, 123 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 5: and did they not kind of make him take a 124 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 5: step back at one point? And now he's obviously he's 125 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 5: caught up and he's doing really well. There's been injuries, 126 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 5: and there're six and five right now competing for that division. 127 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 5: But a lot of people have already written him off 128 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 5: and said he couldn't do it in this league, and 129 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 5: right now he's starting to succeed in a big way. 130 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I saw it firsthand, just that progression. 131 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: You know, I think, like you said, there was a 132 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: time where where there was a lot of talk about 133 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: him being being a huge bus right, one of the 134 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: one of the biggest busts in the NFL, and then 135 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: now it's like, hey, he's playing pretty well. I think 136 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: he just set the set the record for most passing 137 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: yards in Carolina Panthers history, uh game. So so yeah, 138 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: it's it's a progression, right. Not everyone just comes into 139 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: the NFL first year and just blows it up, especially 140 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 3: at the quarterback position. You look at a lot of 141 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: guys in NFL history who have been pretty dang good quarterbacks, 142 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: and I think a few of them are in the 143 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame didn't have great first years as a starter. 144 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: So I think it's it's just one of those positions 145 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: that you just need a little bit of time. I 146 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: was able to talk with him a little bit and 147 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: and just talking about you know, some of these throws 148 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: that you make in a game, or I look back 149 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: in my career and there's so many times that you 150 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: run a route and you're like, man, like I could 151 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: have you know, you look back at you're like, man, 152 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: I could have done this or that. And the next 153 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: time you get that route, like you remember very clearly, like, oh, 154 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: I remember when I ran that route and I did this, 155 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: I should have done this, And then you got and 156 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 3: you execute it, and you you have that experience to 157 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: draw from. Well, he doesn't have those experiences to d 158 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 3: off from yet, and so I think it's a really 159 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: exciting thing for him that he now is starting to 160 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: have some of those experiences where he can look back 161 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: at and be like, all right, I remember when we 162 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: ran this play last time and and I should have 163 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: done this. So boom, he does it and has a 164 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: lot of success. So that's that's just kind of the 165 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: progression it takes to have success in this league. 166 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: Hey, Adam uh Micah Parsons leads the league and pressures 167 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: from an offensive like weapons standpoint, You guys, as the 168 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: wide receivers in the tight ends, how do you work 169 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: into kind of chipping him and moving him off of 170 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: his spot. 171 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 5: Without getting a penalty that's going to get you in 172 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 5: trouble with the referee without that, Yeah. 173 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: Your fan boy, speaking of that, Speaking of that, I 174 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: did hear a couple of coaches came up to me 175 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: yesterday and said, hey, by the way, the league came 176 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 3: back and said that that was not a penalty, So 177 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: he doesn't do as much good week later. But I guess, yeah, 178 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: I guess they said it wasn't a penalty. So yeah, 179 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: I think it's important that it's all hands on deck 180 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: when you play some of the best players in the NFL, 181 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: guys that can really beat game wreckers. It's all hands 182 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: on deck. It's whatever it takes. You know, sometimes you're 183 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: not gonna be running a route as a receiver. You're 184 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: gonna be chip blocking, and you're gonna be in protection 185 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: and sometimes the tight ends some nights running back sometimes 186 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: it's you know, sometimes we just got to lean on 187 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: those old linemen that that we feel really strongly about 188 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: on the edges to just to just be able to 189 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: handle themselves. But yeah, it's all hands on deck and 190 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: and it's only gonna help the team have success. So 191 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: that's what you gotta do. 192 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: Speaking of frustration, we've seen one of your best buddies 193 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: on the team, Justin Jefferson, have a little frustration. How 194 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: do you as a leaders as they've asked you about McCarthy, 195 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: but how do you talk to the best player on 196 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: the team about frustration? 197 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I if I you know, could he evaluate that? 198 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: You know, as far as Justin's frustration, I would say 199 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 3: he's done a heck of a job. To be honest us, 200 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: I think I think he's done a really good job 201 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: of just of just being in the moment. You know, 202 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: it's tough when you're when you're the guy, and he 203 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: knows what he can do and and make a difference, 204 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: especially if he gets the right coverages right if if 205 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: they play him true just normal defense like that guy 206 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: is unbelievable. And so for him to be able to 207 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: take on, you know, teams that are just putting three four, 208 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: you know, six eyes on him. You know, it's it's 209 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: it's tough, and it gets frustrating, and I think he's 210 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: handled it really well. But yeah, I think there's times 211 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 3: that we all, right, that we all kind of let 212 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: our frustration get to us and it boils over a 213 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: little bit. But yeah, I haven't said much to him 214 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: because I think he's done a heck of a job 215 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: just handling that, especially as as such a competitor and 216 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 3: and and you know, one of the best football players 217 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: in the league. And I think he's done a really 218 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 3: good job. And he does a really good job communicating 219 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: when he he's very accountable, I should say, you know, 220 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: he he doesn't let that stuff just you know, just 221 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: mosey over or sweeping under the rug. He addresses it. 222 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: He talks about it and says, you know, I could 223 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 3: do better and moves on. So we really appreciate that, 224 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: and that's why he's got to see on his chest, 225 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 3: all right. 226 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: Good luck on Sunday. 227 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: With the Thanksgiving holiday next week, I don't know if 228 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to you in a week or 229 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: two weeks, but either way. 230 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: Good luck on Sunday.
