1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Big game coming up here against the Eagles. How are 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: you guys feeling about this one. 3 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a measuring stick game. I mean, honestly, 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: every week you're trying to accomplish something different. Obviously, ultimately 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: it's always a win. But yeah, we talk about you know, 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: we want to you want to be able to play 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: in bigger games. You want to be able to play, 8 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, late in the playoffs, super Bowl, whatever the 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: case is. Well, you can't do that if you don't 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: beat teams like this, because this is one of those 11 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: teams that will be when of the last ones standing 12 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: at the end of the season. 13 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, it's definitely important to us. 14 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: What are some things you've noticed about Vic Fangio's defense 15 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: in that Eagles front and then not only for you 16 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 3: blocking but also as a receiver. 17 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say it's super disciplined defense. It's kind 18 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: of a lot not schematically, but it's a lot like 19 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: the Chargers in that they're going to funnel the ball 20 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: to certain areas and they they know how to play 21 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: off of each other, and like I said, super discipline, 22 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: they're always in the right spot, and uh they also 23 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: play extremely hard, so uh yeah, I mean it's gonna 24 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: be uh a big chance allenge. 25 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Obviously there's super athletic in the back end as well, and. 26 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: An out linebacker, and then defensively they have some really 27 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: good guys, so yeah, it'll be a challenge. 28 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Maybe reason they won the Super Bowl, right, Yeah, I 29 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: would say, so, you've. 30 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: Really developed a nice chemistry here with bone Nicks. I 31 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 3: mean I know that you guys spend the off season 32 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 3: and training came out of that. But you had a 33 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 3: couple of moments in that last game where he's breaking 34 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: out on some of those boot legs and you're coming 35 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: up and sort of mirroring him. That is that timing 36 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: that came from those offseason reps or is that part 37 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: of the scheme? 38 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: How do you how do you equate that? 39 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it helps, but it's definitely just part of 40 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: the scheme more so, I would say, uh but yeah, 41 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: I mean, guy like me, you know, you're mainly a blocker, 42 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: and so when you get these opportunities, you kind of 43 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: have to take advantage of them. And I know Boat 44 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: trust me, so uh yeah, so that's all I can 45 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: do is take advantage of her up to do that, 46 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: cause my way, you. 47 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: Guys had some real success running the game at the ball. 48 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: I mean, actually all seasons you're fifth in the league Russian. 49 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I imagine you guys would'm pretty excited about 50 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: that coming into the season. But this game specifically had 51 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: a hundred yard rusher and especially the second half, you 52 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: really wore down the Cincinnati Bengals. 53 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Is that some stuff you can build off of. 54 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's kind of a where you 55 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: start to try to build your identity, and where we 56 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: want our identity to be built around is definitely a 57 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: run game because it makes everything else so much easier, 58 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: and we are built to do that at every single position. 59 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's great to have that success and hopefully 60 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: we will continue it. And the best thing is to 61 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: watch those games and you watch the receivers sticking their 62 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: heads in there blocking and it's important to them. And 63 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: if you look at the really good some of the 64 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: really good run teams in the past, however, many years, 65 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: the Rams receivers always block really well, Niners receivers always 66 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: block really well. Detroit's receivers block really well. So that's 67 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: like a huge thing that people just don't notice because 68 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: like nobody outside of us, you know, outside of our 69 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: building really cares about receivers blocking, but we do, and 70 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: it's a huge, huge part of our game. And that's 71 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: why some of these runs are getting sprung past seven 72 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: eight yards and they're becoming explosive is because of them. 73 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Thank out. I appreciate it.
