1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody. It's a good one against that you yesterday.

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: I was avoiding that all day, but he'll produce. Man,

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: shout out to my guys. Man, Yeah, huh, you just

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: didn't watch because you're busy. Oh no, I watched, of

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: course I tuned in for sure. I was. It was

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: good to see my guys flying around. It's always good

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: to do it against a team like are you so

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: shout out to those guys down in West La Fayet.

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: I want different, um, if at all business fills off

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: and look under coach door seats. Since Bryandville, I would say,

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: not too different at all. They're definitely uh executing at

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: a high level with Josh and all those guys down there,

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: a Stefan, all those all those do they're doing a

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: good job with clicking all the cylinders for real. They

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: pay a lot of good situational football, So um, we're

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity. It's the most difficult part about

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: fishing a guy like Alan say, it's ability to extend plays.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: For sure. That's the main thing that kind of jumps

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: out at you. Like I said, a situational football it

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: seems to always or for the most part, makes a

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: lot of the good decisions with the football, not all

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: that careless with the football. He does a good job

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: of just make sure his team has the ball, and

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: like I said, this makes good decisions. Drid said yesterday

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: that Alan will sometimes even be able just to play

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: quote street ball. You know, when he's extending those plays.

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: What becomes your focus then obviously defends if you're a

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: man or his own, but you know, just to continue

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: to play within the defense and beat sounds while he's

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: scrambling around. It's hard to know what he'll do. I

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: would say with that create is kind of like two

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: plays in a way, like you got the first play

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: and then they extend to play. That kind of happens

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: as the play kind of breaks down. So finding a

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: guy in the area and kind of see trying to

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: see what he sees, and just being able to make

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the play when the ball is in the air. That's

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: probably the main thing I see some other design quarterbackground

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: for Josh. What it stands out to you, it's the

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: way that they use his legs in that regard, when

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: they do a good job of kind of checking different

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: plays and go on with whatever the defense gives you,

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: whether that be everybody's to the right side, kind of

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: student body left kind of deal getting a quarterback, getting

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Josh on the move, and things like that. So they

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: do a good job of kind of seeing everything and

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: check into the kind of a quote unquote perfect play.

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: What's the fine line with with Josh when you know

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: he's a quarterback and they're kind of protected by the refs,

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: but you also have to treat him like a running

51
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: back when he gets outside of the pocket. What's that

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: fine line him not letting him go but not killing

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: him at the same time, I would say you kind

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: of gotta go off of kind of how the game's

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: being refereed in a way. Obviously, I don't want to

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: speak too much on the referees or anything like that,

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: but you kind of gotta if they calling it tight

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta kind of go by the rules and

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: things like that. But if they're kind of let you

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: play a little bit, you kind of got to push

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: the envelope. But it all depends on how the games

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: being how many did you take what happened in the

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: last two games when they didn't punt personally or use

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: it as motivation he aga into Thursday or and even

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: over the off season. I mean, definitely, you obviously see

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: that and it's it gets you amped up for this

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: game for sure. But at the same time, you gotta

68
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: take it. You gotta go through the process. It's a

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: it's a whole process to this thing. If you look

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: too deep into it, you kind of let things slip

71
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: through the cracks. I kind of get up here every

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: time and I say it's that I'm a person of

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: the process. You can't skip days. You gotta be able

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: to no matter how I amped you offer the game

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: or how much hype is around it, you got to

76
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: make shore you dolling in on each day. So that's

77
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: kind of my focus. How do you feel like this

78
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: linebacker group has kind of developed and come together over

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: these last ten eleven weeks? Skill at the start of

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: the season was a lot of guys that had really

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: played a lot of football together with each other. Just

82
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: how do you feel like that's whole all grown over

83
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: the course of the season. I would say we're definitely jelling,

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I would say I'm always saying we got

85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: more to go. We got a long, long way to go,

86
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: And I would probably say that to the end of

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: the season. But because We're always looking forward to gain

88
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: that edge or gain just progress and kind of getting

89
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that ouper trend. We want to stay on the oper trend. Obviously,

90
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: everything is not gonna be perfect. You're gonna have plays

91
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: that you want back and things like that, but you

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: always want to come in the office and you try

93
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: to find something that you could get better at. Um.

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: So that's kind of been out approach and that's kind

95
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: of what we're gonna stick to. Obviously, you just how

96
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to experience with Justin Jefferson. If it was like, hey,

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: off him's on Jack, everybody knows where he is. Now

98
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: you get Stefan Dicks, same type of receiver, same type

99
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: of focus. Definitely, they could definitely bring those the same

100
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of qualities to the game. Oh, you definitely got

101
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: to be aware of where they're at. But sure, I

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: would say Buffalo has a They got a lot of

103
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: different guys that they're able to go to, whether it

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: be Knocks secretary coming out of the back backfield and

105
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: things like that. So you definitely got a hands full.

106
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: But we're excited about the opportunity. But to answer your question, yes,

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: you got to be for sure Stefan Das is having

108
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: a great season, so you gotta be aware of where

109
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: he's where he's at you honestly for a way to

110
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: defend the years and then you would never do that.

111
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: But if you had to give a scatter report and

112
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: your teammate reminders Stevenson, there's a guy who's clearly proven

113
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: he could be a three down back with that report.

114
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I would say he falls in that

115
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: category of a very dynamic running back. Brings all the

116
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: three down running back for sure, being able to run

117
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the ball, good contact balance, being able to hit, take

118
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: a hit, and kind of keep going. Uh have whatever

119
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: the offense needs him to do for real, whether to

120
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: be played wide receiver. He kind of does it all.

121
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: So we are kind of glad he's on my team.

122
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: I just say that that's a that's a I think

123
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: that's a good description of him. Last question, that's a

124
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: body feel. I mean what we have last week about

125
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: how do you turn around quickly to a Thursday in

126
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: that game. It's unusual that you can't just take a

127
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: couple of days here to your next game. And he

128
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: changes in terms of recovery, rash focus to get ready

129
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: for this surject I would say, you talk about regarding

130
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the last week's game or this one. Yeah, as you transition,

131
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: you know it's it's I guess it's the same schedule right,

132
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: today's Wednesday. But it's hard for you. You're you've got

133
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: two games worth of wear and tearing your body. Yeah,

134
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: in the last seven days. You try to find find

135
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the best way to get back on your routine. Try

136
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: to find a way to get all the certain nicks

137
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: and things like that that you got going within those

138
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of back to back games and try to get

139
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: as close because around this time, nobody's ever one hundred percent.

140
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: It's kind of ready that you even see anybody at

141
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: ninety five percent. So around this time you kind of

142
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: gotta tape it up or find a way to get

143
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: the body going. Get especially when it gets cold down here,

144
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: it's a little tougher to get going, but you got

145
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: to find a way to get it done. So that's

146
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of got to be your your

147
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: routine in a way, just to find a way appreciate

148
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you guys,
