1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: He said, when you were on the bye last week,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: you're watching the games? Do you watch games thinking about

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: the playoff race? Like, oh, we need Pittsburgh to lose

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: and oh you can't see you know? Are you do

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: you have the playoffs in mind yet when you're watching

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: the games? Uh? Nah, because honestly, I probably watched two

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: quarters of football on Sunday. Uh. I was traveling back

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: with the fam, so I really I didn't catch many games. Uh.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: I only saw the night game. Um, I believe it

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: was Philly in New Orleans. So um nah, what about

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the cheese game on like Monday area? You're rude for

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: the Rams because I don't help you guys in the playoffs. No,

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: I was just entertainment, just watching the game. It was

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: a good football game. So uh just watch what happens

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: in the bye week that make you guys? You see

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: two good played sholy well where I did join the

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: body with the help you but let me. But um

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: just focused on this year hopefully. I think we just

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: got back to playing better fundamentally. Um, not even so

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: much just a game plan for the Jets, but just

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: doing some of the things fundamentally that we didn't do

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: well in the Tennessee game and throughout, you know, the

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: first games of the season and trying to correct that

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: because we know going forward in any game we play,

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: any opponent, you know that will help us win. So

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I think we do a good job of just trying

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: to reset and think about that and hopefully that shows

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: up Sunday when we go down to New Jersey. What

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: are you I thankful for this year? Thank like he

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: was with my family being able to play football and

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: support them, um, and then you know, I think they're

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: loving support that they sacrifice a lot for me to

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: play this game. Well, listen my house, So he's just

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: a guess. He kind of falls in line. There's no

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: there's no twin stuff in my house. Candy Ams, we're

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring You're gonna bring that in for me. You're

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: just writing an article. You guys haven't played as long

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: the road. This year's at home. Are you anxious to

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: get out there on Sunday and have this road opportunity

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: to maybe prove something? Yeah? Yeah, I think so. I

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: think I think for us we have a good amount

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: of road games left, so I think it's a challenge

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: and an opportunity to come out and change that I

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be kids. We go down the stretch

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: and we talk about after things given, playing your best

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: football with a good amount of those I forgot the

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: exact number being on the road, Like we have to

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: do that, you know, or it won't matter after things

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: given if we don't play well on the road. So, um,

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I think that's something we're all conscious about, Like we

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: gotta go play well on the road to play good

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: football down this last stretch of the season. UM. So

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to getting off to a

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: good start and playing sound football for sixty minutes. So

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: obviously we've talked about that every week and it hasn't

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: gotten done consistently, And I think that's something we've focused

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: on and that we need to really, um be concentrated

58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: on going forward. Team hasn't. I don't know. I think

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it's each game has been a little different, you know,

60
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: um on just not playing well um. And I think

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: we've had some home games where we haven't played well

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: in certain moments, but we've picked it up. And I

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: feel like on the road we just haven't been able

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: to pick it up if we haven't started well or

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: we've had a bad stretch Um, it just hasn't kind

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: of flipped in turn, and I think that's something we

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: just got to keep after and try to fix. You

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: feel that the Boston, New York Wherever league all we

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: seem to be around these games makes these teams between

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the Jets, Yeah, it's a close game. Um. And like

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: you said, throughout all sports history, it's always that rivalry there.

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: So um, you know when we go down there, it's

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: it's not many Patriot fans in there, and if they

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: are in there, you don't probably want to be too

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: loud in that stadium because you know the Jets fans

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: will get get rowdy. So um, it's a lot of fun,

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: I think, especially around this time of the year, around Thanksgiving,

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: playing these guys and kind of a you know, a

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: rivalry type of game, which is you know, thanks Giving

80
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: us huge high school football around the country and rivalry game.

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: So it's kind of fitting to be playing then, you know,

82
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: this weekend Jets or Giants. I was actually a Cowboys

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: fan growing up, so uh, I didn't care much for

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: the Jets or Giants. What's uh? I mean going to

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: rut because you know the market. But what's unique or

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: different about playing in New York and Jersey since you've

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: been a pros um as far as there, it's a

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: different than playing in other places. Um no real. I

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: think it's cool for me just driving to the stadium

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: doing like, I know all of that area. So it's

91
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: always fun um to me going into stadium. You know,

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: always you know, see at least ten to twelve people

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: who will say, you know, Hurrah, go Rutgers or something

94
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: like that. So it kind of feels like, you know,

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: being at home and then this this she'll be cool

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: because Saturday, my high school is gonna Killburg and Catholic

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, at Medlife Stadium Saturday before we get there,

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: so um, it'll be cool. Hopefully you know, Saint Joe's

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: wins another state championship and then we go play Sunday.

100
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Telling is a guy who often addresses your teammates on

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the field and leaves them and you get those guys

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: pumped up. Is there a difference on the roadworks where

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: people are talking about bringing your own energy? Do you

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: have a sense of that or the need for that

105
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: when you go on the road and has that been

106
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: something that you've had a tough time to do this year? Now,

107
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say pump. I think the biggest thing is

108
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta make some plays early in the game.

109
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, you talk about bringing your

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: own energy. I don't think as much of pre game

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: and getting reality, but it's to open the game, whether

112
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: they're on offense, defense, special teams, it's having you know,

113
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: guys make big plays, whether that's going three and out,

114
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: whether it's having a long drive offensive like it's coming

115
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: where guys are making plays. And I think when you

116
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: see that, then you see like, all right, the team

117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: looks ready to go energetic early. I think I probably

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: haven't made plays early, so then it's kind of like

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: the crowd, you know, the way crowd gets going. So

120
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: I think that's something that we've really talked about individually,

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: each guy going out there saying, you know, for a

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: play comes my way, I'm gonna make a play early

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: and kind of get the team going. And you know,

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I think for our older guys, our veterans, our leaders,

125
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: like that's something that we gotta do if a play

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: comes our way. What have you seen from Duke Dawson

127
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: so far as the guys coming in late and trying

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: to get into the defensive late in the season, very competitive,

129
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: goes out there every day, whether on defense or to

130
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: look defense against the offense, making plays. I think he's

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: doing a good job of, you know, going out there

132
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: and competing against our best guys. You know, whether it

133
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: be Jewels, whole Phil, you know, whoever's in there, JG.

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Of just trying to compete and make plays. And I think,

135
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, as a young guy, nothing gets you better.

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, being over there and going against

137
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: our offense, and whether it's Randy West as a rookie,

138
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: of going against those guys, just getting you better as

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: a player. I think he's he's done a good job

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: of taking advantage of that so many times. Will you

141
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: meet tomorrow A definite twice and we'll see how it

142
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: goes for the rest, you know, whether we go some

143
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: type of dessert or we go just another meal for

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: the third sandwich afterwards. Not a big Turkey guy, but Ham,

145
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't need a sandwich. Just giving me

146
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: like another meal. You know what do you think my family,

147
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: they're they're awesome. Appreciate it. Oh you got another one

148
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: about I appreciate big
