1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: With a big performance today.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's huge obviously, just where we're at, and uh,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: every week matters so much.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: We all know that.

5
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: So I think just the biggest thing was, you know,

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: just getting some energy and momentum.

7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: You know, this league is is hard.

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: It's tough, and if you don't have momentum or energy

9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: man and belief within a within the building, it can

10
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: be really tough. So for us, I think that was

11
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 2: the emphasis today and I think we got it.

12
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: So, but you were mentioned as someone who said some

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: things to the team. What did you What was your message?

14
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: What do you think the mood of the team was

15
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: going into this game.

16
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: I mean we said some things just you know, I

17
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: was just trying to keep it real and remind guys,

18
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: you know this, this isn't easy, This job isn't for everybody,

19
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: but who we have in this building, we have what

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: it takes and we've shown that the last couple of years,

21
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: and and uh, we just got to dig deep and

22
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: find you know, find ourselves. And I think we did.

23
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: I think guys responded to it. But and really I

24
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: was just talking to myself too, you know, not just

25
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: trying to preach to the guys, but remind myself of

26
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: how hard this thing is and how much of a

27
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: competitor you got to be for four quarters and go

28
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: and take it.

29
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: Nothing's ever given to you.

30
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: So it was just a reminder to myself and to

31
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: our teammates of where we're at and where we're trying

32
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: to go. And and uh, you know a lot of

33
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: other guys or some other guys spoke, and you know,

34
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: I think we're all we all feel it, man. We

35
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: just we want to win for each other at this point.

36
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that was last nights. Offensively, it feels

37
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: like you've been waiting to have this type of looking

38
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: sixty minute performance all season.

39
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

40
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: I mean I think we just all executed, did our

41
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: job and kept it simple. I don't think guys were

42
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: overthinking anything. We just whatever it was called. We trusted

43
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: in Kyle and and we just executed. And I think

44
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: it was just more of our mindset. You know, we

45
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: were aggressive. I think everybody across the board once we scored,

46
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: defense got got to stop, We go back up, put

47
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: some points up on the board, they got a turnover,

48
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: we scored, like it was just that's team football, man,

49
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: And uh, I think it just all starts with our mindset.

50
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: So something that we've all been talking about a lot

51
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: more around here, but today we just went out there.

52
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: We executed, and we played aggressive more than a kittle.

53
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a baller. I mean you get the

54
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: ball in his hands like that, and he can get

55
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: all the yact after and.

56
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: And uh, he's just so explosive, dude.

57
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Like for for where he's at in his career, to

58
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: continue to put up those kind of numbers and and

59
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: and be that dominant, it's.

60
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: A pretty sweet thing.

61
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: So obviously like to get him the ball in space

62
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: and let him do his thing, and that's what he

63
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: did today. You mentioned momentum.

64
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: How important is it to use this as a springboard.

65
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's huge, but uh, I mean it's a quick turnaround,

66
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: that's for sure. So we just all got to get healthy,

67
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: get back on track, and and uh come back out

68
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: Thursday with with this kind of mindset of you know,

69
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: playing aggressive and and doing what it takes for four

70
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: quarters and uh, I think you know the game will

71
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: go out it needs to go but for us, man, like,

72
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: our our mindset is the biggest thing. We got to

73
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: clear this, not get too high on it or anything,

74
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: and learn from it and come ready Thursday for it's

75
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: a zero zero game and a clean slate.

76
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Sod And the pain that.

77
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: You felt and what you were Yeah, I mean it

78
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: was just a weird hit. My body was in an

79
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: awkward position, and uh, you know, for me, never really

80
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: been in a situation like that, So I was just

81
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: like sort of in shock, you know. I felt some

82
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: some stuff within my body, and I was just let

83
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: myself cool down.

84
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: That's why I went out for.

85
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: A play and and just making sure I was being

86
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: smart about it. And I was fine, My body was

87
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: good and went back and I'm good.

88
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: So did you hear the crowd when you came out? Yeah?

89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I could hear. Uh that's your reaction.

90
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: I mean, are are you able to appreciate that moment

91
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: or is this.

92
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit of both.

93
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, I'm trying to go out and do my job

94
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: and execute, you know, for our team, organization, our fans

95
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: and everybody. But uh, you know, just hearing them, you know,

96
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: sort of had my back like that. That was pretty cool.

97
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Man.

98
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: I love playing for this, for this uh organization, for

99
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: our fan base, and and every time I step out

100
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: in the field and Levi's man I'm very thankful for it.

101
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: So love playing for our fan base.

102
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Guys were wide open.

103
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Nothing that hasn't happened for this season, but for a

104
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: sustained period, I mean, didn't feel more like twenty twenty

105
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: three in some ways. I mean, it's just sort of

106
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: how the game went. Man.

107
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: I think, you know, Kyle did a good job dialing

108
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: up some plays and for us to just go out

109
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: there and just play, you know, and guys, we just

110
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: trusted each other. Man, just when I when I throw

111
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: the ball to j J or George like it. There's

112
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: a sense of trust that that we all have and

113
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: where they need to be. And I think, you know,

114
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: last year, going back and watching a couple of games,

115
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: it was it's like that. You know, there's a lot

116
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: of times where you know, I go through a progression

117
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: and I lay the ball and expect a guy to

118
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: be there, and they're there. Like it's just getting those

119
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: reps and those trusts to continue to grow together. And

120
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: I know it's late in the season, but it's never

121
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: too late to continue to work on those things and grow.

122
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: And I thought today we just did that. So were

123
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: you expecting on that one misconnection with Ricky?

124
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: It seemed like you guys were on different pag Yeah,

125
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: you know, I thought he was gonna keep it a

126
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: little bit skinnier up the up the field, and then

127
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: he saw space, so he sort of cut across, and

128
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, I just threw the ball early and sort

129
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: of anticipated, and I missed him. I think his his

130
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: decision on you know, going across the more middle of

131
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: the field was a great decision.

132
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: If I would have laid the ball right there for him,

133
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: then it would have been a touchdown.

134
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: So something that he and I we talked about and

135
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: I told him, I was like, we just got to

136
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: keep growing together and learning each other and seeing each

137
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: other in and out of cuts. And but that's something

138
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: that I missed on him. He executed his job. Thank you,
