Speaker 1: The real measuring stick for you guys to just business
Speaker 1: as usual. You know, like I said, you always want
Speaker 1: to bring it back to you know, a level plane
Speaker 1: and just say, okay, treat business as usual. Go out there,
Speaker 1: do your job, and do our best to get a win. Obviously. UM,
Speaker 1: I know it's a big game to this state, you
Speaker 1: know then being the Pittsburgh Shils, just being the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: But you can't get wrapped up in all that. You
Speaker 1: still got to go out there and play football. Um,
Speaker 1: both teams you know, are undefeated. So that raised a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, of the hype when it comes
Speaker 1: to it. But I'll still say, like we always say,
Speaker 1: you gotta just go out there and do your job.
Speaker 1: You start worrying about that stuff, you get out of whack.
Speaker 1: You'll stop focusing on details, and then you know, then
Speaker 1: the game ends up getting away from you. So we
Speaker 1: just want to go out there, do what we gotta do,
Speaker 1: and come out with a win. I saw something from Trader.
Speaker 1: I've always seen He's been so consistent and just who
Speaker 1: he used as a football player. You know, you could
Speaker 1: put Trey you know, anywhere and he could go out
Speaker 1: there and play. I mean quarterback. He could do it
Speaker 1: running back obviously, tight end you can split him out
Speaker 1: lemd Ross and Rod receiver. He's amazing on special teams
Speaker 1: to doing one of our key special teams players since
Speaker 1: he's gotten here. And then I was just talking to
Speaker 1: him today about when he played back in high school,
Speaker 1: when they used to play against Aaron Murray back he
Speaker 1: was a plant and they were having trouble with orson Charles.
Speaker 1: Yall remember him played to Georgia and his coach told
Speaker 1: him to gold cover orson Charles. So he can even
Speaker 1: play corner. I guess. So. The dudes versatile, and it's
Speaker 1: not surprised me when he goes out there and plays
Speaker 1: well because all of camp he was doing it. I
Speaker 1: mean every single day he was in there making plays.
Speaker 1: And for me, it gets me extremely excited. Where about
Speaker 1: he gets Zack back because we haven't been able to
Speaker 1: have that set that everybody's been talking about where you
Speaker 1: have Brent Selik, zach Ertz, and Trey Burton all in
Speaker 1: that same that's a dangerous combination. I feel like we
Speaker 1: can really take advantage of. So, like I said, I've
Speaker 1: been really this for some every being excited that a
Speaker 1: bye week was this early, so we can go ahead
Speaker 1: and get Zach back, and I think with those three
Speaker 1: guys we can really make make some hands turn. Nelson
Speaker 1: was saying that he thinks Carson's demeanor, his work ethic
Speaker 1: is contagious as a young receiver in yourself that has
Speaker 1: a strong work ethic, do you believe it has been
Speaker 1: contagious for the other players on offense so far? Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I think he definitely brings an exuberance to the huddle
Speaker 1: and it's something um that he that he has naturally.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, I joke with him all time.
Speaker 1: He says like, I don't know if I take that
Speaker 1: as a compliment, But I didn't expect him to have
Speaker 1: as much swagger as he does, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like he wears a arm sleeping, Like where'd you find that?
Speaker 1: Like you don't do that? And so he but he's
Speaker 1: got swagger to him. Man, He's got to bounce to
Speaker 1: him when he comes to the huddle. Is not just okay,
Speaker 1: let's let's clock it in. Every time we come into
Speaker 1: that huddle for whatever drill, it is like, all right, guys' goals,
Speaker 1: we gotta have a go in today or we gotta
Speaker 1: have a good pier right now, and so he's always
Speaker 1: doing that. He has a he has a swagger to him,
Speaker 1: He has a has a natural feel for the game.
Speaker 1: And then that does rub off on other guys because
Speaker 1: if he's doing it, you don't want to be the
Speaker 1: guy who who who's lagging behind. You also want to
Speaker 1: bring that same any type of energy you know, to
Speaker 1: the team, to the huddle. And because you know he's
Speaker 1: always gonna bring it to swaggering, because perhaps that explains
Speaker 1: why he's willing to and so hard a little to
Speaker 1: take shots that you know, if Frank breg says are unnecessary,
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's been around for a little bit.
Speaker 1: To talk to him about that, you say, well, people
Speaker 1: we need you want to deal. I think I talked
Speaker 1: about that a little bit the other day. I don't
Speaker 1: think that per se he wants to take some of
Speaker 1: those shots all the time. If you really like, go
Speaker 1: back and study some films. Some of those shots came
Speaker 1: on the sideline, and the sideline is a crazy place
Speaker 1: because you sometimes don't expect somebody to hit, you expect
Speaker 1: people to pull up, you know. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: one of those things where you just gotta kind of
Speaker 1: just hurry, ip me get out. But Carson's a smart guy,
Speaker 1: you know, because he'll sit back there in that pocket
Speaker 1: and take a shot and convert a four down and
Speaker 1: won't nobody say anything. You know, that's just the toughness
Speaker 1: he has. So you'd rather have that and then work on, Okay,
Speaker 1: the little things that hey, when near the sideline, just
Speaker 1: go ahead and sprint out. Don't think that they might
Speaker 1: slow down or you know what, don't worry about the
Speaker 1: extra yard. Go ahead and get down a little bit quicker.
Speaker 1: We'll be able to get it on third down or
Speaker 1: something like that. But the tenacity a plays with you
Speaker 1: don't want to take that away from I mean, he
Speaker 1: will stay in that pocket and deliver strikes. I don't
Speaker 1: think the play counted, but he threw a strike to
Speaker 1: sell it on a deep over route that was dirty.
Speaker 1: You know he's still in the pocket and you know,
Speaker 1: had to take a hit. But that's what you want
Speaker 1: to see and that gets everybody else going. You think
Speaker 1: the officive line doesn't like that when they know their
Speaker 1: quarterback is wanting to sit in there and do that
Speaker 1: and make those throws. Like I said, just because everybody
Speaker 1: going the position. What do you appreciate about Antonio brown Man?
Speaker 1: You know, I study a lot of Antonio's OTA's and
Speaker 1: mini camping. You know, the thing about him that's just it.
Speaker 1: It's the consistency with his tenasty like a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that they're really skilled, but it's the drive he
Speaker 1: plays with. Like I mean, he plays angry some games,
Speaker 1: it's never like he's up and down. When you play
Speaker 1: with that same level of drive, I mean, you're never
Speaker 1: gonna see him come out and just have a bad game.
Speaker 1: You know, if the targets on there, then maybe they
Speaker 1: just aren't there. But literally, the games where Ben was
Speaker 1: out last year, those were really the only down games
Speaker 1: that he had. And if you go back and watch
Speaker 1: those films, he was still getting open. He was still
Speaker 1: beating man courage the bards won't get into him. Then
Speaker 1: when being came back, you know, like you said, business
Speaker 1: was booming again. So it's just you appreciate what he
Speaker 1: does out there on the film, on the field, I
Speaker 1: think he's obviously one of the best in the game.
Speaker 1: So but I know our defense looking forward to that challenge.
Speaker 1: We got great guys out there, and I know they're
Speaker 1: excited to go out there and go against him. How
Speaker 1: important is your christians face and reinforcing that with your teammates,
Speaker 1: the bole stuffy each support. Okay, that's I think it's
Speaker 1: extremely important and to be honest, for me, it's the
Speaker 1: most important thing. Like I said, Uh, it was funny.
Speaker 1: I was I speak at the Rookie Symposium a couple
Speaker 1: like two years ago, and so I sat there and
Speaker 1: asked the guy that said, does anybody here no Chuck No?
Speaker 1: And they're all like millennial, So none of knew Chuck
Speaker 1: No was, which was embarrassing. And Chuck Noles has five
Speaker 1: super Bowls. Now obviously that's the highest pinnacle in sports
Speaker 1: as the Super Bowl, but none of those guys knew
Speaker 1: who he was. Okay, the reason why I knew Chuck
Speaker 1: No was because he was a mentor to one of
Speaker 1: the guys who's my heroes, Tony Dungee. And the reason
Speaker 1: why Chuck No was the hero Tony Dungie was because
Speaker 1: of his faith and because the values that he instilled
Speaker 1: in him. So without Chuck No's beliefs in his faith,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know about him. But that's that's the
Speaker 1: impact that he's had on me, even in death. So
Speaker 1: I say that because in the eternal ends, like past life,
Speaker 1: how big is football? You know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: when you understand and you have that faith, it makes
Speaker 1: it so much easier. You can appreciate them more. The
Speaker 1: bad days they're never really that bad, you know. I
Speaker 1: would say for me personally, you know, coming and playing
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia was twenty times different from Vanderbilt. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could just go play and people always were like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's all good. But in Philadelphia the expectation roles and
Speaker 1: it was something that I had to get used to.
Speaker 1: And the thing for me was that helped me stay steady.
Speaker 1: Whether it was a good game or bad game or whatever.
Speaker 1: Was always my faith, and it was always the other
Speaker 1: guys on the team, us coming together and then always
Speaker 1: being able to relate on those subjects. And it just
Speaker 1: makes football that much easier. It takes a load off,
Speaker 1: It takes the pressure off because you understand that, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, they say you retired twice when you stopped
Speaker 1: playing the game, when they stopped talking about you, So
Speaker 1: at some point's going to end, so you might as
Speaker 1: well have your faith in something real. It's gonna last
Speaker 1: forever the something deal with the drop casts teams, because
Speaker 1: I guess like the best way to do it just
Speaker 1: like we walk to the next play, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would definitely say, Um, you know, when it comes to
Speaker 1: you know, something like that, obviously you want to move on.
Speaker 1: You don't want to sit there and do a lot
Speaker 1: it because you know, being like having a negative attitude
Speaker 1: about it. It It is only gonna you know, go over
Speaker 1: to the next play. Um. It's something that we definitely
Speaker 1: know we need to clean up. Me in particular, I
Speaker 1: will say though, the biggest difference obviously from this year
Speaker 1: to last year is the only stat that matters is
Speaker 1: the win column. You know, at this time we're only two.
Speaker 1: Last year we're two and oh. So like if we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about anything, let's continue to talk about winning.
Speaker 1: When you lose games and then there's reasons that you're losing,
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, okay, well what do we need
Speaker 1: to fix. Obviously when you're winning, you have those same
Speaker 1: things that you want to get better at, but it's
Speaker 1: not anything that you want to just dwell on and
Speaker 1: just be this dead horse. Because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, the best thing to happen. That you can
Speaker 1: do when it comes to something like that is always
Speaker 1: and still confidence, always speak it. Always go out there
Speaker 1: and practice and know that, hey, I'm here for a reason.
Speaker 1: I made those same plays. I think every single ball
Speaker 1: that I have mailed bringing I know I've caught before.
Speaker 1: It's not something that I can't do. And it's not
Speaker 1: like I'm about to you know, come next Sunday, be
Speaker 1: a totally different person. It's the same Jordan. I just
Speaker 1: got to go out there and be more consistent, be
Speaker 1: more detailed, and like I said, sometimes the best thing
Speaker 1: to happen is you do have your slip ups in
Speaker 1: games that you know you can win or that you're
Speaker 1: gonna win. So then you go back, go back to
Speaker 1: the drawing board, get detailed. Because the big games are coming.
Speaker 1: You need to be ready for them. You know, just
Speaker 1: like Sunday, what do they do best? I think the
Speaker 1: thing that they do best they try and keep everything
Speaker 1: in front of them, you know, live zone. So they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna force you to beat them with long drives.
Speaker 1: And you know NFL people love taking shots. You can
Speaker 1: take shots that demoralize the defense. You know, I went
Speaker 1: through the first two games and went through explosive passes
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that many clips, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: like sixteen plus, you know. So teams aren't gashing them,
Speaker 1: you know, for long games, and that's exactly what the
Speaker 1: defense wants. So it's on us to be consistent and
Speaker 1: send us to be able to say, okay, let's go down.
Speaker 1: We get like five yard hitches, slants, you're getting tackled,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. That's what we need. We just
Speaker 1: gotta keep having drives like that. I think at first
Speaker 1: drive that Carson had, I guess I go is real telling.
Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of picture that you know,
Speaker 1: we wanted y'ard supposed to plays. But sometimes those might
Speaker 1: be the drives that we're gonna have to have when
Speaker 1: we go get points from from twelve catches in week
Speaker 1: one to week two to two against them last week?
Speaker 1: What did you see up against a j Green from
Speaker 1: the steal? Oh? I would say this though, too. Um.
Speaker 1: The weather is still obviously a factor if you if
Speaker 1: you're the Bengals and you've got Giovanni Bernard and you
Speaker 1: got Jeremy Hill, you're gonna run the ball too. It's
Speaker 1: just just natural, So obviously the weather is going to
Speaker 1: have an effect. Um but at the same time too,
Speaker 1: it was just what I talked about. It's that zone,
Speaker 1: you know, when you go back and watch that game
Speaker 1: with that the Jets who they play the Bengals, well,
Speaker 1: obviously they're extremely confident in Daryl Reevers. So what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do, They're gonna put in one on one coverage. Well,
Speaker 1: what's what do all coaches say their job is to do.
Speaker 1: Our job is to put you in one on one situations,
Speaker 1: and what's the player's job to do. It's to win.
Speaker 1: That's the name of the game in football. Mixed matches
Speaker 1: put you in one on one coverage and you got
Speaker 1: to beat the man. So that's was able to do.
Speaker 1: When teams goes on it's a little bit different now
Speaker 1: it's all about spacing, timing. Everybody's got to be on
Speaker 1: the same you know, everybody's got to be on like
Speaker 1: the same picture. So how much harder is that too
Speaker 1: when you take the weather and you know into context too,
Speaker 1: So you know, obviously it was something that when I
Speaker 1: watched the film was kind of I lean more to
Speaker 1: watching the Redskins game when they play them as far
Speaker 1: as like looking at their defense and how they cover receivers,
Speaker 1: because like like do you have like a hundred
