Somebody who likes to have a 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, a large chocolate mocha with extra whipped 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: cream or something like that. 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: I unfortunately am not a big coffee drinker. My wife kids, 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: so like I'm more usually like trying to grab it 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: for But yeah, like I wish I was because it 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: looks so good when everybody else keeps it. 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: So, you know, I don't know if we're allowed to, 11 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, ask you this question now, but you're on 12 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: the phone with us, so I'm hoping that means you 13 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: are on track to be on the field this week 14 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: in Green Bay? Am I allowed to ask you that? 15 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: And so? Am? I? Right? Well, you kind of already 16 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: asked without me giving permissions, So I mean, you know, 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm always just transparent as possible, but I really say 18 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 2: I will We'll see. 19 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: Okay, just know that, sir. Do you get a real 20 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: Christmas tree or a fake one? 21 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: We're getting a fake one. I've had one, a real 22 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: one in the past. We had this year. We're going take. 23 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: Okay, see He's right, it's so much more convenience. 24 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 4: It's less maintenance, less stress the guy worry about. 25 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: It's definitely less maintenance for sure. But I mean, I 26 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: think ultimately you got to do a lot of got 27 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: decorated at that stuff. So I guess you can't run 28 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: from the maintenance actually period of a tree. But yeah, 29 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: I mean the smell. I honestly personally like the smell 30 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: of a true, a real tree, but as you know, 31 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: it's like you have to do a lot of more 32 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: other stuff with it, so a fake one will definitely 33 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: get the job done. This shit. 34 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 4: So all of your friends and family from the South 35 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 4: do they do they ask you about what Minnesota winters 36 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 4: and Minnesota Christmases specifically are like, because it's kind of 37 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: the best part about growing up in an area that 38 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 4: has a lot of snow. 39 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 3: It's the Christmas season is the best part. 40 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: I think that's the only thing everybody asked me about it. 41 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: Sometimes they forget I even play football, like, like what's 42 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: the weather? Like I'm like, well, I don't mentally have 43 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: to deal with it all the time, just because we'll 44 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: play inside. But you know, I have a couple of 45 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: break ones that will come up here and try to 46 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: test it out there on like it's just not that bad. 47 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: It's not that bad. And then even just two weeks 48 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: ago when it suddenly dropped down to the twenties all 49 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: of a sudden, when it was a shocker that everybody 50 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: has my family up and they were like, yeah, this 51 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: is what it's like in early November, you know, end 52 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: of October. I can only imagine. Just don't be like 53 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: come January, you know, things like that in February. 54 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: Nor dog. 55 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 5: We all want to see you on the field. We 56 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 5: didn't love to see you standing on the sidelines. But 57 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 5: what did go into the decision to wear a black 58 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 5: leather vest as your sideline outfit for Saturday. 59 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: I'm assuming it was leather. That's how it looked that. 60 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: It was really no thought to it. I've always warned, 61 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: like I even wear that type of solid cut off 62 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: jacket like here in the facility when I'm just regular 63 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: training and doing every day to day extupt with the team, 64 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: So nothing really went into I used to wear that 65 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: as well before I warm up before every game is 66 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: well too, so I didn't know it was it was 67 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: that much of a talk. But yeah, I just threw 68 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: something on us in my locker. 69 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: Have people brought it up to you. 70 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: No, never, like that's never. I mean the only thing. 71 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: Chaos probably said something to me probably last year about it, 72 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: solely because I cut the sleeves off of it, and 73 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: it was like, listen, just trying to show off, you 74 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: want to But outside of that, now, I've never had 75 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: any other complexity. Anything says you look sharp, you look sharp, 76 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank look I didn't 77 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: try to. 78 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 3: Hey, I know it's looking backwards. 79 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 4: And again, you didn't even play in the game, but 80 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: you've played against him in the past. What We've had 81 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: a lot of people in the last handful of days 82 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 4: talk about how hard Caleb Williams is to bring down. 83 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: Though again, I know you were on the sidelines, but 84 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 4: what is it about Caleb that makes him so elusive? 85 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 4: What should you be aiming for when you're trying to 86 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 4: tackle him? 87 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: Honestly him? I mean it's it's he's kind of a 88 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: shorter bill, but he's not a short guy, so it's like, 89 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: you know, target is a little bit like minimized from 90 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: a guy who's a little bit taller. But he's elusive. Man, 91 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: I think when you're running full speed upfield at somebody 92 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: and then he's a stationary target he can use or 93 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: a minimumgainst you. I think a lot of people forget that. 94 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: It's like you'll be bringing him down and he just 95 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: want to spin out of everything of your If you 96 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: wrap him up, he wants to just kind of switch 97 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: the ball, so to thinking about a lot. You know, 98 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: you also want to tee off on this guy, t 99 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: off on quarterbacks in general, but there's no way to 100 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: do it. So all that's going through your mind. But 101 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: you can't hit him too hard. You can't, you know, 102 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: you got to hit him in a certain area. So 103 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: most times I'm trying to go for the ball, which 104 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: is March times why I kind of missed it a 105 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: little bit. But I'm going for the ball because I 106 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 2: feel like that's like the most that's what we're all tasting after. 107 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: But it's like a lot of ways you have to 108 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: get to them. You can't do certain things. So I 109 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: feel like that's the most effective way to try to 110 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: get the balls working in the past. But you know, 111 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: definitely have a little difficulties this year. But it kind 112 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: of goes for all quarterbacks. Just this new age of 113 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: guys who you know, they become the best athletes whenever 114 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: you're running full speed at them. So all I can 115 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: say is to get multiple people around him to that 116 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: way once he breaks the first one, and the next 117 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: guys right there. So that was kind of the planning 118 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: a little bit. Yesterday. Obviously broke a couple and made 119 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: some plays, but that won't be the first normalize because 120 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: we've seen him do that against everybody else who it 121 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: just isn't us. When we kind of had him in 122 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: the first game of the year, we're like, man, this kid, 123 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: is is it really him? Like? Or is it is 124 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: it us? Where are we better? You know, messing up 125 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: on tackling. But we see like literally he went from 126 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: the most sacked quarterback to with I think now the 127 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: second or third least sack quarterback. And that's literally so 128 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: because of his escapability. It's not about anything of his 129 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: his pocket being clean or anything like that. He sold 130 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: just making some Whodini he plays and hats off to 131 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: him and it's been working. So just gotta be better 132 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: out and and put more hats to the ball to 133 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: get him done. 134 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: Dallas Turner played really well on Saturday. Seven tackles, five pressures. 135 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: He had a sack. What did you see in him 136 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: from the sidelines that you really liked? 137 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: It was really good. It was aggressive, decisive, He was 138 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: confidently going to that game. He definitely understood the game plan. 139 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: So it was a good opportunity. He knew going into 140 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: the week out I probably wouldn't be able to make 141 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: a run for it, So it was it was mainly 142 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: on him. You see, he had the most nasty tat 143 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: off season, and I think he had the did really 144 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: really well opportunity to meet on the ball and that 145 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: he left out there. A couple of players I know 146 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: he left the he told you he left the sack out. 147 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: They left the interception almost out there as well. But 148 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: just in totality, man, he was a physical he excuse me, 149 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: you did his job. Man. We're all just proud of 150 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: how you just stepped in and played it. We already 151 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: knew that was gonna happen. It's just a matter of 152 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: just getting those reps. So Dallas is an amazing job 153 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 2: for me. I think it's I'm contine to just carry 154 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: that on obviously going into this week as well, and 155 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: we're gonna be right there every step of the ways 156 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: to continue to coach them up, but definitely was Dame 157 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: proud of DC at. 158 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: Height play Jonathan Gernard again as our guests, and this 159 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: week talking about being called out side. We're getting really lucky. 160 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: We're going to Green Band. It's gonna be fifty one 161 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: and sunny on Sunday. How do you feel about playing 162 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: in that stadium? And no, exactly they're calling fifty one 163 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: and sunny on Sunday. How do you feel about going 164 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: on that stadium? What are you thinking about with Jordan 165 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: loving that team? 166 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: Man, it's another division ripple. I think it's gonna be 167 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: one of those nail bodis again. You know, same thing 168 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: I said about anybody else. They don't like us, we 169 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: don't like them. The rectors go out the window. As 170 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: we know, we're just fighting. It's obviously for that spot. 171 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: It's bragging rights, and y'all know how this division goes. 172 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: So this game means a lot and going into hostin territory. 173 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: They're playing good ball right now, so I know we 174 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: got a good plan vote for them. But I'm excited, man, 175 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: Like you just mentioned, they blessed us the good bless 176 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: us with its good weather because we got put with 177 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: Green Bay later on during the year. That's my first 178 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: time being in Green Bay and the kind of quote 179 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: unquote colder time. But obviously just mentioned it's gonna be 180 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: the fifties, but it's gonna be a good challenge. Man. 181 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: I'm super super excited just so that we can get 182 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: another opportunity to get the taste out of my mouth 183 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: and obviously just continue to go one to know. So 184 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: that's that's the big mindset, and we ain't gona switch 185 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: one up, but we just know it's gonna be a 186 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: dogs like. 187 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: Again, if you can't answer this, that's fine. I don't 188 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: know what you're allowed to say. But if we can 189 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 4: go back a couple of weeks when we saw you 190 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: on the ground when your shoulder got hurt, it looked 191 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: really bad and all of us that are fans of 192 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 4: yours like that cannot be good. It looked like it 193 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: was a serious, serious injury. Obviously, it sounds like you've 194 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 4: avoided that. But in that moment, were you concerned that 195 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: it was over, that it was that your season was 196 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: on the line, that the injury was that bad. 197 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it hurt like the mother. So honestly, 198 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: in that moment, I was just like, man, we just 199 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: got to figure out what it is and get to 200 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: it and get to work. But I know the staff 201 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: we have, man, especially whenever they were just talking to 202 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: me and telling me what's going on, that I know 203 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: that I was going to be back eventually, and I 204 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: know that was I avoided what it could have been. 205 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: I was seeing you all saw that as well. So 206 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: it definitely hurt like hill, But at the end of 207 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: the day, that's part of the game, and I think 208 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: what a good plan is rehaving everything else, I'll be 209 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: back stronger than ever so doing really well, so that 210 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: it's encouraging. So I'm excited to see what with the 211 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: next couple of days. 212 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 5: Bring for sure. 213 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: All right, hopefully you get helped healthy. Hopefully we see 214 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: you on Sunday against the Packers. Thanks man, appreciate it. 215 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: Jonathan. As always
