1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Lamarto. Hey, James, Um, it seems like good man, it 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: seems like you've really elevated your game the last couple 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: of weeks. Um, what's kind of going into that? And 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: are you surprised that quarterbacks keep throwing your way? Oh? 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Goes into it? I say, the start of the week. 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: You know, the coaches come in with the game plan 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: and you might adds a track throughout the week. So 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: they put together a good game plan for us going 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: to Sunday. Um. And then I watched film prepared throughout 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: the week, practice hard, um, and you trying to execute 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: and I getta feel, you know, And am I surprised 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: by quotabacks attacking me? Now? Not really? Uh. You know, 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: when you follow guys, you primarily try to follow the 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: type receiver and what comes with that is usually being 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of throws your way, you know, 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: to get the receiver of the attenches. So I'm not surprised. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Did you travel a lot with Carolina or is this 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: something that they've kind of asked you to do that's 19 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: new in New York. I traveled a little bit when 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: I was in Carolina. Um, it's not really news to me. 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: Thanks Cat, Lenard games when you guys have a second 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: half like you did as a defense in this game. 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's tempting sometimes to say, hey, we're close. 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: It's just gonna take a few things here and there. 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: But you know, isn't it healthier sometimes to say, wow, 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: we are you know this is not us. We are 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: far away, and to kind of sound the alarm so 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: that you can get back to your level. Um. I 29 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: think you know, the coaches and the players, they do 30 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: a good job of holding everyone's accountable for the jobs 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: and what they're asked to do. Um, it's just about 32 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: us going taking the day by day, you know, trying 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: to get better day in day out, and like you said, 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: put those little pieces in place so that you know 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: the bigger picture is successful once we get to Sunday 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: and whatever, to do our job and complete it. Uh, 37 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: you just own each other accounta Well, le's a start 38 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: in Chris James, what's the mood of the team today 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: after yesterday's defeat? Um? Of course, initially you know you 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: you're said that you you come in from a loss, 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: but we're just moving on to the next week, moving 42 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: onto the rams, um and that's our main focus. You know, 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: trying to get a win and we face them. Thank 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: you Deliv. James, I'm curious, it's kind of a hard question. Uh, 45 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: you face this offense all training camp. Are you surprised 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: by how much your team's offense is struggling? Or and 47 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: you know, from a defensive standpoint, when you take away 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: a great player like Stakom, this happened. Um, I'm trying 49 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: not to get um involved in too much, like even 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: trying to peek down there and try to, you know, 51 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: get my judgment on what the offense is doing. Um. 52 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: I know we have elite talent um and we're able 53 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: to make plays, and I know they're gonna fix whatever 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: they need to fix on the side of the ball, 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: and we have things on outside of all the fix 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: as well. Um, And that's how go And that's all 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm worried about, is fixing what we gotta do on 58 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: defense Cannada. Hey, James, Um, do you ever take a 59 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: look at the standings and say, yeah, we're rolling three, 60 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: but we're only a game out of first place? Now? 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: I mean, my mind said, is whoever I'm facing throughout 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: that week, you know, try to you know, trying to 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: play them my best of my ability and get a 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: win and we'll have the team get a win that Sunday. 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: So I don't really look at the standards too much. 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: I'll just take a week by week. Like I said, 67 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm facing. We're facing rams this week 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: and that's why that's what my focus is on. Thank you, 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: all right, we'll just take this last one, James. You 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: talked about things that you guys need to fix on defense. 71 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: One of those is is getting off the field on 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: third down. Just curious what you're seeing on third downs 73 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: is too Why you guys are struggling to get off 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: the field on in that situation. UM, I would say 75 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: when when the boys down to it, just executing whatever 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: call is made by the coach, and we're just not 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: doing a good job executing, UM. And then their players 78 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: gotta play and we gotta be the one that makes 79 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the make the plays on the field. We haven't been 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: doing it on third down, me myself included. Uh So 81 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: you just gotta come in Wednesday, and well you start 82 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Tuesday really watching film and trying to get ahead, start 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: on the rams, and then come in Wednesday, practice hard 84 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: and go from there.
