1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Bring on Broncos cornerback pass or tatas he joins us

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: here on Fridays throughout the course of the season, Pat

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: your own, Dave Logan, Ryan Everards, and Shelby Harris.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: How are you, man, I'm all good. How are we doing?

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 3: Do good?

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 4: Appreciate your time, Pat? You know everybody. Uh, well, there's

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 4: different things that you look at in this game. I

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 4: want to ask from your perspective. We've talked a little

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 4: bit about the Patriots running game. I imagine you're gonna get

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 4: a heavy dose of that. But when you you see

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 4: Drake May in his second year and some of these receivers,

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: I mean, what what kind of passing game do you

13
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 4: see and what what kind of game do you expect

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: from the Patriots?

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think they you know, they give a QB

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 5: chances to make plays. You know, I feel like it's

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 5: a simple pass attack, but they like to attack different

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 5: areas of coverage throughout the field.

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: They like to take their deep shots.

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

21
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: They love the intermediate game, you know.

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 6: And one thing about.

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: Him is he's also a thread on his feet and

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: we got to eliminate that. But at the same time, man,

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: we know what we're going up against Uh, they love

26
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 5: to hone in on a run, stick to the run

27
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 5: at first, and you know the past game feeds off

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 5: of that. So it's gonna be a challenge for us,

29
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: but we got to uh, you know, be ready for

30
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 5: it for sure, all right, Pat, I.

31
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Mean, of course, the news and I know you were

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: asked about it in your press conference, the news about

33
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: bo Nicks was was certainly disheartening. But I'd love to

34
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: know from your perspective as a captain and the leader

35
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: on that team, how do you feel like the locker

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: room has responded this week with the change there with

37
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: your quarterback.

38
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, the locker room responded, well, you know, obviously it

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 5: was a sudden change, a big change. You know, we

40
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 5: lost a big component, you know, of our team's success.

41
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 5: And you know obviously that's hard, you know, for anybody,

42
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: but uh, you know, we we never let that way

43
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 5: for us. We understand that, uh, you know, we got

44
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: all of our goals is in front of us, is

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: in the horizon, and you know we realize.

46
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 6: That, uh, you know, once that happened, Uh, his next.

47
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: Man up and Steady is the best guy to fill

48
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: that role. We got the utmost belief in him that

49
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: he's gonna get a job done, and uh, you know,

50
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: we see a week in a week out on a.

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: Consistent basis with him.

52
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 5: But the locker room's been vibrant, the energy has been high,

53
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 5: and we're ready to play on Sunday, Shelby.

54
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: Uh, with both knicks out, you already know that much, man,

55
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: but we'll both knicks out. What is the mindset of

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: this defense going into this game and does it feel

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: like you might have to do a little bit more

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: in order to come out successful?

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, even with when Bo was in.

61
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: There, we always felt like we got to do a

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: little bit more each and every.

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: Week because the road gets tougher, especially in the playoffs teams.

64
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: He's gonna play tougher teams.

65
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: The more and the more you win in this tournament,

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 5: and uh, it's very prevalent. So this week we got

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: to uphold.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: Standard and uh, straight to that, you know that, and

69
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: you know, not changing anything up.

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 5: You know, we ain't trying to be superheroes and nothing

71
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: like that, but just staying consistent with the basics and

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 5: the fundamentals.

73
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's all what we need to

74
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: do to come out with a W.

75
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: So that last couple of questions herefore, you always appreciate it.

76
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: Man.

77
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: So going back to the last game against the Buffalo Bills,

78
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: that in that game, I mean, it was back and forth,

79
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: and I guess in a lot of ways that's what

80
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: playoff football tends to look like. But what was sort

81
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: of the emotional roller coaster where you guys on one

82
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: at all over the course of that game.

83
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, that's.

84
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: What playoff football is all about, Manu. It's it's always

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: gonna be nailed by in games, you know, I mean,

86
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 5: just in these moments because it's doing to die. You know,

87
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: every every team is fighting for the chances to you know,

88
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 5: keep their playoff hopes alive and reach the ultimate destination,

89
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: which is a super Bowl.

90
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: So each and every game got to be one from

91
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: with then, you know. I mean, I think.

92
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 6: We've had some key turnovers.

93
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: On defense and offense, came through on some crush drives

94
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: that you know, helped us propel all way to victory.

95
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: And Uh, that's got to be the same type.

96
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 5: Of mindset and effort that every need going on into

97
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 5: this week. Uh, you know, it's going to take all

98
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: of living guys on that field on offense, defense, and

99
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 5: special teams to get the job done.

100
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: So, man, how about j Max interception? Though?

101
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 5: Come on now, Yeah, that's I've seen in the while. Man,

102
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 5: that's I've seen while.

103
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like as far as plays, again,

104
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: you've had some spectacular plays here for the Broncos. Of course,

105
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: defensively you probably have seen quite a few in your time.

106
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: That one there, Like, the more I watch it, the

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: more bewildered I am by the fact that it worked

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: out the way it did and the fact that they're

109
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: still debating it right now, like national talk shows. Whether

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: it was a catcher an interception is hilarious to me,

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: but it seems very clear to an interception. Imagine you

112
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: feel the same way.

113
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it was two guys competing. Uh,

114
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: it's just so happened to be that J Mack won

115
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: to fight win the battle. And you know he came

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 5: in clutch, and that's what he's been doing all year,

117
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: all season, come in and clutch, making big time plays

118
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 5: for US. Uh, you know, in the season, and that

119
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: play was very pivotal because when you look at that play,

120
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 5: you know, they going in field goal range have opportunity

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 5: to kick the field going and win the game. But

122
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: you know, Mac making that big time play change aut

123
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: the momentum, and you know what I mean, we all

124
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 5: we all think Mac uh for for that game because really,

125
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: uh that game was won by him for making that play.

126
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: And it was very critical and you got to have

127
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: some anticipation and you know, some type of uh ben

128
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 5: don't break to be able to finish the play like that,

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 5: And that's when we brought to the table.

130
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: You don't want more here self?

131
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: Yes I do so. Pat So the patries do a

132
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: really good job of putting the dbs in the run game,

133
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: making the dbs tackle, you know, making you guys set

134
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: to the edge. What mentality do all the dbs really

135
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: need to come into this game with in order to

136
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: really shut down that run game.

137
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. They love to bounce to the edges,

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: run to the perimeter, and you know, make Corners tackle.

139
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: But the great thing about us is.

140
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 6: Man, we love tackling.

141
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: We love your.

142
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: Physical as well too, you know what I mean, because

143
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: our defense is built for us to tackle, you know,

144
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: whenever it goes to the edge. Corners is taught to

145
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: field crack, replaced and stuff like that, and set the edge,

146
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: and you know we take part in that, me and

147
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 5: Riley on tackling and being physical in the ball game

148
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 5: because you know, in the corner of today's league, you

149
00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: can't just.

150
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 6: Cover, you know, you gotta tackle.

151
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: And uh, I think on both sides, uh, you know,

152
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 5: on me and Roddy side, we we definitely shine in

153
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: those moments when we got to tackle and make plays.

154
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, we we peeped that on film and we

155
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: just gotta come up and present, uh present the doing.

156
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: So that's what we're gonna do.

157
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Pat Man, it has been a hell of a ride.

158
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough for the entire season and

159
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,200
