WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jordan Hicks

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Ye kind of make sense a little bit last week.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 1>How does that affect you just you know, getting to

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>feel for the game. Yeah, no, Um no, that's the rotation,

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>um that they've put in place. And um, you know

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Tol he's a great player, so you know they liked

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that rotation, like putting them in getting letting him get

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a feel for the game as well. Um. And for me, no,

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean I play, you know when when I'm getting

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 1>in a in a groove. You know, going out a

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>series doesn't doesn't necessarily hurt me at all. Um, once

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I get into it, you know, I'm locked in. Gotta

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>breathe during a game, absolutely absolutely, especially if I'm you know,

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>rotating in on special teams here and there, Um no

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>question there has there been any talk about you moving

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to the weak side when he's out there or anything

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>of that nature to keep feeling the fe uh not really.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean we've worked it a little bit, Um said

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that before. We've we've constantly rotated, um and you know,

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I've worked kind of all three positions just you know,

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>just as as a depth purpose. You know, we've got

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 1>to have depth. We've got to be able to play

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody everywhere and everybody needs to know each position. So, um,

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, if they call my number to go at

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the wheel, even at the same you know, I'm ready

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be the best team you've you've played

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so far. Season is young, but do you guys look

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>at this game. It's kind of something that's going to

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>tell you about yourselves, maybe more than the first two. Now.

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's hard to win in the National Football League.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>We understand that. So coming off you know, those two wins,

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>we believe. You know, we've got a lot of confidence

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>rolling in and you know, we believe in ourselves. Um.

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody talks is talking about it's gonna be

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>a physical game, but it's in our minds it's gonna

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>be a physical game because we're showing up. You know,

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>we want to make um that our mentality. Um, and

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you know that's that's what we want to put on film.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I know their own team you're gonna play, so you

0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have others. Yeah, I mean they're they're a

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>very talented team. Um, got really good skilled players everywhere

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and obviously big band playing, you know, and and it's

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>doing so well, so we got to be on point.

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's nothing. We're not We're not we're

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>not up for Where do they give off that vibe?

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And how do you how do you go against the team?

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Is that kind of not We're not intimidated by anything. Um,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:33.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're we know the challenge that's ahead. We're practicing, um,

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, at a very high level right now and

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>doing a really good job out there on the field,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>working through a lot of different situations. And you know,

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I think when game day comes, we fall back on

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>our preparation. And you know, with with the way we're practicing,

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the way we're mentally locking in, we're not We're not

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>worried about what they're doing. We're worried about what we're doing.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, guys, have a little break in this game

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>because let still suspended. But have you seen much of

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>a drop off and play him? I think D'Angelo is

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>leading the NFL and rushing yards, right, I mean, you

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>know that speaks for ourselves. He's a dynamic back, is

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>proving back UM can catch the ball. Obviously that's a

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>great vision. So no, absolutely, I wouldn't. No matter who's

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>back there, we've got to be ready, UM, and I

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>think we'll be two Pro Bowl guys on that interior,

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that line to Castro and pounds. He good at getting

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to the second level. Yeah, I mean the Pro Bowl

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>for a reason, you know. And um, we we actually

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>faced them in the preseason. They were out there during

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. I don't know that they didn't play a

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of their guys, but their offensive linement started. Um,

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know for us, you know, we just got

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to be on point. Man. It's it's not about who

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>they are what they do, it's about what we do.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>It was obviously a while from him playing football. How

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>do they love? So like an eleven year vet, he's

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>played a lot of football. Um, I'm sure you know

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>when you get to that point, it doesn't take much

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to just fall back on who you are and who

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>who you've always been, and um, you know all those

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>games that you play before. So he's so good at

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>keeping his eyes down and you have to be more

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>cognizant on your past coverage. Just one that coverage, maybe

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that time second long absolutely you know coverage, and then

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on your rush as well. You know you've got to

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>can't stop. You know, he likes six tend plays and um,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like you said, keep his vision down field and uh,

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, the moment you stop is the moment he

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>hits that pass for long game or whatever it may be.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know we've got to be relentless. You know,

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the plays might be an extra few seconds longer than

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>what we're used to, So you can't have that play

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>clock in your head. Anybody that they're tight end, can

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you can compare it to I don't know. Um, all

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>we know is he's you know, he's a big guy,

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>freaking is a real big dude. Um. But you know

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the same as this whole time, and it's not about

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>who they are what they do, it's about us. So

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>playing them in the preseason, that doesn't I mean, neither

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>team showed anything that resembling what they're gonna do all

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>right Sunday. I mean, there's nothing to be gained from it,

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>is there not? Really everybody's so bland in the preseason. Um,

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, we obviously look at that film, but you

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you really break down, you know, the past two games

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and then a little bit from last year and you

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>get a feel for who they are. Um, you know,

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and not in the preseason. They're gonna run some stuff

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that they run their their go to things. And but

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>other than that, I mean, you see who they are there.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>They've got enough film to be able to get Good

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Tennant season breakdowns on Good Guess. Thanks guys, appreciate you

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>showing up.
