1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: I assume how are you feeling? How did you play

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: as many stacks as you did as probably as I mean,

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: I'm not a hundred percent. Definitely was banged up a

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: little bit, but I feel like, you know, that's almost

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: the majority of the league right now. Uh, And that's

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: what we're harp on a lot about it being December football.

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: We know how much of a tough person and players

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: you have to be to to keep going at in

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: a and near the end of the season like this,

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: because you know, majority of the league has banged up,

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: So you know, it's not an excuse, it's not a

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: anything like that, you know, because you never missed a game.

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: I played banged up. You've never missed a game, which

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure made this season feel a little different. Yeah,

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I definitely feel a little different. This is my first

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: time ever like being on the sideline while I'm like

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: seeing guys in paths like on the field is definitely

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: like a weird experience. Um, you know, but I've been

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: dealing with it. I've been managing it. Uh. You know,

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, everybody has uh adversity at times, and that's

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: been something I've been dealing with this year. And you know,

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make the stuff my situations. Everybody wondering

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: now it's how high did you get? And make sure

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: you're steady? Is that just kind of an example in

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: this league? Yeah, I mean I think it's also an

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: example of why coach Dave's tells us to keep it

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: in here. Um, you know, it's that's all outside noise,

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: you know. Um, it's an outside noise thing to say, like,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, are they gonna be able to come off

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: of this loss? Or are they getting too high after

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: a win? When really we know that we're keeping the

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: same as that routine every week, you know what I mean,

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: We're staying right here and you know, we hear a

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: lot of outside stuff, but we try to keep it

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the same inside all the time. And uh, granted there

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: is obviously you know, you feel better after winning, you

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: feel down at their loss, but we try to like

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: wash it and move on. You've mentioned how sinnehole eat

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: your career with that other in New York. Yeah, very

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: hard pleased to lose. What's it been like to play

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: in New York when you've been I mean, that's been crazy.

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, half my career has been on

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: two different New York teams and uh haven't been to

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know, I mean to be able to

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think about that sometimes, you know, like champion,

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: like winning the championship in New York and like picture

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: and like a parade in the city and stuff like that.

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how that would be. Uh, but you know,

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: right now, I'm just living in the moment. And uh,

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: you know, we've been cool to win in New York

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: this year, like the cheers, and it has been cool.

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I think. I think, uh, you know, because I've been

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: on the downside of it, on the losing side of it, um,

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: and now I'll being on the upside of it. I

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: could definitely see the difference in like the way the

56
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: city treats you so close to the first playoff game.

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's all I'm just saying. I mean, I'm

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: super excited, no words. Uh yeah, I mean it's I'm

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: on my eighth year. Uh been a long time in

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the league, Uh coming on too, double deal of years soon,

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: and this might be my first chance of going to

62
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Is pretty crazy. That's something I'm you know,

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: every player looks forward to as a as a player,

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: and you know, going to the playoffs and having a

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: chance for the championship and uh, you know eight years

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: in New York, I haven't really had an opportunity to

67
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: do that until now. And you know, we got to

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: just make sure we finished the season. Stean for that,

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: you had the teams right that your rookie year and

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: right buff Yeah, yeah, we lost to Buffalo. Yeah we were.

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: We were turning six that year with the Jets, and

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: the last game of the season lost the Buffalo and

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: that was like the closest I got to go to

74
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: playoffs and then so that was probably the biggest game

75
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: he played in until Thursday. Did Thursday? Did Thursday feel

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: like what you imagine a playoff games? Yeah? Exactly. I

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: mean we tried to we tried to say that it

78
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a playoff game because obviously it wasn't whether we

79
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: won or lost. We were gonna have games after um.

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it definitely felt like the

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: atmosphere felt like it. The way the teams were playing

82
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: felt like a and we knew how much was that stake.

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: So you know, even theo we say it was in

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: a playoff game, that it definitely felt like one
