1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: How's it going good? Are you good be a start

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: out with them? What do you recall about your Senior

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Bowl experience? Yeah, Um, obviously that was a good experience

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: and they have a great staff, um, and I do

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: a great job, So it was a good experience, just

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: a good down there. But that's in the past, and um,

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: like I said, it was, that's all you can take

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: from it, that it was fun and that they were

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: a good staff. You have much contact with them sort

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: of after that, like in the pre graft process that

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: stood up to you. Um, I mean, I'm just glad

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: to be here, honestly, and I talked to a lot

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: of different teams, but um, you know, it was just

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: part of the process, and I respectfully talked to everybody.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: But I'm just, you know, blessed to be here. A

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: back a couple of weeks ago when you guys are

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: two and four a bunch of guys and blackbroom and

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: said you didn't feel like a two or four team

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. How much confidence have

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: you guys built in that locker room and maybe outside

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I think, Um, every week's a new

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: week and the goal is to go want to know

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: that week, So the record in the past doesn't really matter,

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and the record in the future doesn't really matter, So

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: you just try and go one to know every week

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: and then eventually, you know, a bunch of good weeks

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: turn into a good month and then you just go

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: from there. So I think it's more focused on what

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: we can do this week to win the game. And

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: obviously we've made progress, but we're not looking back at

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: this point. What is it to take advantage of the

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: opportunity that you guys have made though to get to

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: where you are now going into this game, And you

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: talked about it by stacking things together. Yeah, I think

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: it's just stacking days together and um, you know, like

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I said, you can't focus on the outcome. You just

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: got to focus on, um, the process of having a

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: good week, um and just try and do things right

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the right way and stick to your routine. So yeah,

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: you feeling you getting better at that? Yeah, less mistakes

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: during the week to let you know what I mean. Yeah,

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: I think every week's a new week and we can

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: do things, um to improve on the things we did

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: bat in the game and then sticking to you know,

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: our core of what we believe in and just continuing

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to do that. Specific Yeah, there's a lot of things, UM,

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to improve on, and I'm trying to work

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: on them during practice, and a lot of that stuff's

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: personal and things I can improve on. UM. You know

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: starts with every day just putting a little bit of

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: effort into it and UM, you know, obviously identifying what

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: the issues are and UM, I have a long way

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: to go in that regard, but I think everyone on

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: our team is improving every day because that's the standard

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: that's set UM, regardless of offense, defense, special teams. So

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: I've always tried to just look up to the older

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: guys and see how they do it, and UM, see

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: how they get better every day. And a lot of

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: that's just staying consistent. Feel personally that you're in a

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: better place for last week at UM what what do

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: you mean by that, like a week later? Mentally? Yeah,

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean I think every week, UM is an experience,

63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: and you just add those experiences together. So UM, you know,

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: as you go along through the season, whatever season you're

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: in and whatever sport, you just you stack weeks together

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: and then you feel more comfortable. And that's just how

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: sports work. But um, like I said, it's it's it's

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: all about this week and that's all you can control.

69
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: So you can't focus on next week and you can't

70
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: um dwell um on the past either. What do you

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: see when you when you're looking to Carolina, how do

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: you describe the tale? Yeah? Yeah, they have a bunch

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: of talented players, um, and they do good job with

74
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: their scheme. Um, they're all hard nosed football players that

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, come ready to work and you can see

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: it on the film. They're they're coming to hit and

77
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: they're doing their job. And um, they play together and

78
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: they rally to the ball. So this is definitely one

79
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: of the top defenses in the NFL, no doubt. And

80
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: we got to be ready to go, and um it

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: should be, you know, a good experience. Just go down

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: there and and have fun and and go against a

83
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: really good team. About the way they you know, Matt

84
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan had a pretty well passing interceptions. Yeah, I

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: think obviously they do a great job creating negative plays

86
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: and disrupting the quarterback with their edge guys and the

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: defensive line. And they have great linebackers and really good

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: cover players. So, um, they got you gloved you know

89
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: when you watch the film, there's sometimes not a lot

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: of people open, and um, they do a really good

91
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: job with that and it's a group effort and you

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: can tell that they have really good leadership on their team. Um,

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: you have some young and old guys, but um, the

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: leadership is there and they play together and they communicate

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: really well. When you first got to this unival, obviously

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: that Panther staff was the first NFL staff worked with before.

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: What were some things that they might have shared that

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: about what it will be like vegan the league. Yeah,

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I think, like I said earlier, was just a good

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: experience to um go down there with a bunch of

101
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: people that played really well in college and um, yeah

102
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a real NFL game or anything like that,

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: but it was a good experience. And you know a

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys are playing in the NFL now from

105
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: that game. So it was just cool to go down

106
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: there and um, meet different people and hang out with

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: a good staff. For you every week to step into

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: your throws and not fade away from it. Um, yeah,

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: that's who you're supposed to do. Sometimes there's other things

110
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: that happen where you can't, but the majority of the time,

111
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback should just step with his left foot and

112
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: deliver the throw. And the moral of the story is

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: just complete the ball. And sometimes you get caught up

114
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: in everything, but if you complete it, you can always

115
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: nitpick the film later and I can do a better

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: job of that. So it's one of those things that

117
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to improve on. Thanks guys,
