34
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable when I refer to you that way? We've

35
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: talked about this, I know, but not on this program

36
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: we had tonight. Um, I don't know, it's a little weird.

37
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, but you've you've kind of I mean, we

38
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: had a podcast together in training camp and we talked

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: about it a little bit, and uh, um, yeah, I

40
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: mean why not? Yeah, why not? I mean, you know

41
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: you you you've made eight Pro Bowls, nine seven seven. Yeah,

42
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: I get confused. I get you confused with the guy

43
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: you played next to you yesterday. Well, we'll talk more

44
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: about that, but I mean, I seriously I believe you're

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. But that will leave that for

46
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: if not another day, a little later in the hour anyway.

47
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: But but the cowboys have things to do, and we

48
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: all know that after a day like yesterday, when you're

49
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: sitting on the plane, fortunately not a super long flight,

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: but two and a half hours and you're flying home,

51
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: I know that at some point, probably in that second

52
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: half hour of the flight home, you started thinking, boy,

53
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: thank goodness, I get to go be on the radio

54
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: with hey La tomorrow, because that's what I really got

55
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Joe Trehan reminder text bright and early this morning. So yeah, yeah,

56
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: we know, we know it's not easy because you guys

57
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: are super focused and uh and then how we're so

58
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: thank you for Kyle, I really appreciate. Now, Now, how

59
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: weird is it then to realize that you are so

60
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: disappointed by how the game came out, and oh, by

61
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the way, you're in the playoffs. Yeah, it's a weird Uh,

62
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: it's a weird feeling because obviously yesterday was really frustrating,

63
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: and you know, you talk about plane rights home, those

64
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: losing plane rights home aren't quite as fun as as

65
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: the winning played and ride. So uh, and then obviously

66
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: got home and was able to watch a little bit

67
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: of the Sunday night game and knew the implications for that,

68
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: so you know, we're we're excited to kind of punch

69
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 1: our ticket. But also it's it's frustrating coming off a loss.

70
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Um with that news, is it more now now you're

71
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: you're in? So you know you're in, You've been there

72
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: at least at that stage before. But do you find

73
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: yourself more concerned about how far you can go when

74
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: you have a game like that? Or do you keep

75
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: it in perspective? I think you keep in perspective. And

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is like, if you have

77
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: those tough losses late in the year like that, can

78
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: you take can you learn from those losses and and

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: and take them moving forward because realistically we're gonna have

80
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: some road playoff games and um, you know we're gonna

81
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: have tight games down the stretch, and um, we've got

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: to take away lessons from game. Moving forward, Does it

83
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: surprise you to learn that the head coach went to

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: sleep before the game ended last night and his wife

85
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: had to wake him up and tell him. By the way,

86
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: you're in the playoffs now, I mean again, it's a

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: it's a weird Uh. It's a weird situation there when

88
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: you come home after a loss and then you you know,

89
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, you're in the playoffs. So um,

90
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: you know it's always that's that's the you know, the

91
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: goal at Men of the Years to um, you know,

92
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: get there first, get to the dance. Um. And so

93
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: we're there right now, and now it's it's time to start, um,

94
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, locking in and getting ready for this film.

95
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: From time immemorial, coaches have preached the players we got

96
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour rule. Twenty four hours and then

97
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: this game is history. But they didn't give you twenty

98
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: four hours because the game is Saturday. Yeah, right, you

99
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: had until wheels down. Yeah, that was kind of what

100
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: we talked about after the game. You know, we're with

101
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: all the technology and iPads and stuff. Now we get

102
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: to tape there on the on the flight home and

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: we're able to watch it and kind of talk with

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: each other about it, and you know, he made a

105
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: made a point after the game, Hey, let's let's watch

106
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: it on the flight and then when we land we're

107
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: on the Philadelphia Did you say on the flight or

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: on the bus and the bus and the flight. Yeah, yeah,

109
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: because you mentioned that a couple of times today that

110
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: he threw this. So look, yeah, what, Um, when you

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: get on the plane, you're exhausted. You've just played over time.

112
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have time to start to unwind

113
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: until you get on the plane. Really, maybe the bus

114
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: depends how long the bus right is. Um, I can't

115
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: imagine that the first thing you want to do is

116
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: go back and watch that game again, especially a game

117
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I mean, you're you're curious right on

118
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: kind of some of the things that happened during the game.

119
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: So I think guys are pretty quick. Most guys watch

120
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: it pretty much right away. They've got someone kind of

121
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: coming up and down the bus loaded on your iPad. So, UM,

122
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I like to watch it right away just to see it.

123
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: And UM, it's nice having everyone there so you can

124
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: talk through some stuff that happened in the game. And

125
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: then um, when I got home, UM, just kind of

126
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: tried to relax a little bit. Fortunately, was like the

127
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: only time all year at home early from a road. Yea,

128
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: it was year. There was a lot of cars on

129
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: the road, which usually there's no cars on the road

130
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: driving you You are a big you are a big

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: fan of the early out. We've seen some of the

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: cliffs especially. Yeah. Now there was like a before three

138
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,760

139
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: as eighteen. Um, I had all of my high school

140
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: buddies in town and it was like the first new

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: game we'd played all year, and I in my high

142
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: school buddies. We had like a big party bus after

143
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the game. They um So I was riding home with

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: him after the game and I was really excited to

145
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: see everyone and we had won on the last second

146
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160

00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: lights looking at we've kind of yeah, we've done it. Um,

156
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: we've done the light show that we lit the Christmas

157
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: tree the first weekend there, and then uh, I think

158
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: we may stop buying and see someone next door on

159
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the way out. Okay, So the thing that I love

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: most about players with kids. Your kids age four and two,

161
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: four and two. So when you got home last night,

162
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: they just didn't care any Now, well I walked in.

163
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: My four year old was still awake and he walked in.

164
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I walked in and he started kind of whimpering. Was

165
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: like you lost. I know, but uh no, it puts

166
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: things in perspective when you get to come home and

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: hang out with those guys. Yeah, they don't really care.

168
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: Just happy day. We're playing Legos. After there you go there.

169
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: You the key is to make sure that their mother

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: is always happy daddy. That's real. That's the tricky part, Zach.

171
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you was in You touched on

172
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: it a little bit. But when it comes to, you know,

173
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: getting in the mindset of watching the film on the plane,

174
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: on the bus, whatever it is. On a game like

175
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: yesterday where the loss was you know, it was stunning,

176
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: it was frustrating, and most losses are. But in that instance,

177
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: is it more difficult to dive into that and go

178
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: back and look at it or is it the same

179
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: or is there a difference? I guess no, there definitely is.

180
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean when you have a big win, especially on

181
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, guys, are you know when you're

182
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: watching the tape, you're laughing they look at this, look

183
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: at that, look at this play. Uh, it's a little more. Um,

184
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: it's not the same when you lose, right, it's a

185
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: lot more. Hey, we need to do this better, we

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: need to do that, and so the conversations are a

187
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: little bit different. But um, nonetheless, I think our guys

188
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: do a good job of kind of getting in there

189
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: taking a look, and I think we have a real

190
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: honest team the guys that are honest with each other

191
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: and understand their responsibilities. And yeah, I think the biggest

192
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: thing yesterday's has taken away, learn to learn something from

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: it and take it forward when you're in the position

194
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you are now. And I asked Tank this last week.

195
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: He came on with me in verse to ten and

196
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I said, you know, you're on that veteran side of

197
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: things now where it's kind of your responsibility to be

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the leader in that instance, when you had that shift

199
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: of going from being new to being a veteran, and

200
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: your leadership kind of is more on display and games

201
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: like that. When you're frustrated yourself, how do you keep

202
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: yourself grounded to be able to continue to lift the

203
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: rest of the guys up. Yeah, I think I just

204
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: try to take the positives from it and again learn

205
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: from the things that went wrong. And you know, I

206
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: think the big thing you talk about, um, you know,

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: difference between h you know, younger guys and older guys.

208
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: I think just understanding how the how the NFL works

209
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. And you know, my rookie year, we

210
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: were twelve and four, we went to the divisional round

211
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, this is this is awesome,

212
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: and then you know, the next year we're four and twelve.

213
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: So just kind of getting that point across the young

214
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: guys and understand that the team is not going to

215
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: ever be the same, and um, you only get some

216
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: of the opportunities you have to, you know, especially for

217
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: young guys thinking, hey we may you know, we've got

218
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: the future looks bright. Uh, you know, you got to

219
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunities when they're there. Was gonna

220
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: ask you, what do you think of these young guys?

221
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: They're great. We really do have a great group of

222
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: young players. And the rookie class has been outstanding. We've

223
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: had a obviously a ton of um key contributors, contributors

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: out of that rookie class that have really been a

225
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: lot to our football team. So, um, they've done a

226
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: great job. I'm sorry, go ahead, No, I just said,

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you have a favorite just personality, watchit Jake Ferguson's Yeah, yeah,

228
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Fergie's he's a good time in there. And then Payton

229
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Paints and Indiana guys. So are you friends with any

230
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball players? No, I asked, because I marvel

231
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: at how those guys and now it's different. Viously, but

232
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: the three years that I was broadcasting Ranger games, I

233
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: had to really make an adjustment to how I felt

234
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: and acted after a loss, right, because the next game

235
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: is not next week, it's tomorrow, right tomorrow. And it's

236
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: because you you need you need to take a day

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: to process and then learn how to let it go

238
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: right so you can fully focus on the next game. Yeah,

239
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: And I think like our schedule is set up that way, right,

240
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: Like we come in a normal schedule. We're coming on Mondays,

241
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,119
Speaker 1: and we dive right into the film and do the corrections,

242
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday's kind of off day where it's kind

243
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: of like, hey, you know, if you get if you

244
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: need to come in and get some things done, do that,

245
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: but at the same time, take this time to kind

246
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: of disconnect for a little bit and reset for the

247
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: upcoming week. I have some really good friends, a big

248
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: cowboy fans, the dad and the family, especially as a

249
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: big cowboy fan, and his wife does not understand when

250
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: I try to tell her that today is actually Tuesday

251
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: and tomorrow will be Wednesday. And how hard was that

252
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: to adjust? You didn't have many of those in college,

253
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: did you? It was on Saturday. I think we always

254
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever played any other day

255
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: beside Saturday. I don't know. You just kind of fall

256
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: into it. It's funny because like my wife Morgan, she

257
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: gets it now too. She's like, Okay, no, this is

258
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: this is a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, so you get used

259
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: to it. I guess they're all the same, you know

260
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: all the days. You know this tomorrow is our Wednesday,

261
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: so it'll be exactly like our normal winds. All right,

262
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: we I want to take about an hour to listen

Speaker 1: you about, and then we'll move on from yesterday. But

281
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to do with the game, because we

282
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: were kind of joking, but it wasn't really a joke

283
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: about what a total thrill it is for you to

284
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: be here tonight. Yeah. Yeah, people don't understand how difficult

285
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: it is to stand at your locker after a game

286
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: like that. Homer Road. I don't care, but maybe especially

287
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: in a road you gotta go get on the bus

288
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: and whatever you gotta do and talk to reporters and

289
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: they're on deadline and they're in a hurry, and they

290
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: got a job to do. And some guys there were

291
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: a couple of guys who had prominent roles in the

292
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: game who just couldn't bring themselves to do it last night.

293
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: And not many guys are like that, but sometimes that

294
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: have you never do that? Is that? Was that a

295
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame thing? Did you get trained at Notre Dame

296
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: that that's part of your job? Yeah? I think talk

297
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: to the media. Yeah, I think that's you got. You

298
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: gotta face it no matter what happens. And I think

299
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: you made a good point. I mean, I think guys

300
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: understand it. Um. You know, the guys in the media, Um,

301
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: they have a job to do, just like we do.

302
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: And um part of that job is to ask the

303
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: hard questions and after tough losses like that. So, um,

304
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like to sit there for an hour,

305
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: but I will give them, you know, five or ten

306
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: minutes and at least give my initial even if it's

307
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: kind of saying nothing, I'll give him something. Do you

308
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: have to consciously fight to be civil and upbeat when

309
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: you just really you just really don't have anything. Yeah,

310
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I think we have a I don't know how it

311
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: is other teams. I think we have a pretty good

312
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: relationship the members of our media, just because they're there

313
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: every single day and you interact with them every single day.

314
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's like that everywhere, but um,

315
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: so for the most part, it's it's all familiar faces

316
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: at your locker after a game, which is helpful, helpful, yes, okay,

317
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: as long as you don't hate those faces. Okay, So

318
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: you and Tyrone Smith have been teammates for your entire career,

319
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: longest teammate I've ever had, Is that right? It is?

320
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: And and obviously he's going to the Hall of Fame

321
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: and you're going to the Hall of Fame. I said

322
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: that again. But but it's really rare for two guys

323
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: to play side by side like you did last In fact,

324
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: I had my statistician look it up. I said, see

325
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: it that that's like seventeen Pro Bowls and I think

326
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: you've made them in the same year seven times, right,

327
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: So I said, that's like seventeen Pro Bowls playing next

328
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: to each other. That doesn't happen. I think he found

329
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: that the close he could find was Bob Lily and

330
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: mel Renfro, But they weren't side by side. They were

331
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: just on the same unit. That's a defensive lineman on

332
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: a defensive back like twelve and nine at one point.

333
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: So that's a really rare thing. And that's kind of

334
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: why I bring it up, because as long as you

335
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: have been around him and know him. What was that

336
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: like practicing with him and then getting to play work

337
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: in those combo blocks and what was that like? Well, here,

338
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: I'll take you back to last week. So obviously, unfortunately

339
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele goes down in the game, and um, you

340
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: know Terrence, I've I've been one of Terrence as big

341
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: as advocates all year. I just think he is an

342
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: absolute stud and um, you know, really had a great season.

343
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he goes down and um, you know that's a

344
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: that's some we had to fill those shoes. That's not

345
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: that's someone we we have to to fill in there.

346
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: And you know, credit to this is credit to Tyrn. Um.

347
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: You know, he made a comment I think during that

348
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: game after Terrence went down, and um, after the game,

349
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: I talked to him a little bit about it, and

350
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: then we went home. That was a new game too,

351
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: so we had kind of the rest of that day

352
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: and I gave him a call later that night and

353
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: just asked him basically if he was serious about doing it,

354
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: because did he say it to you during or like

355
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: during the Houston game or after the Houston he said

356
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: it to someone on the sideline during the game, who

357
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: told me. So then that he said, hey, I would

358
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: do this, yes, yes. So then I called him on

359
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: Sunday night after the game and said, hey, this is

360
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: this something that you'd actually consider because it's a I mean,

361
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: people don't understand you think, okay, we're just going to

362
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: left right, left tackle to right tackle. I mean the

363
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: guy has been as dominant as you can possibly be

364
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: a left tackle over the last you know, twelve years.

365
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Um so to make that move is um it was

366
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool. It's a selfless move there for Tyron and

367
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: um so he said, yeah, absolutely, I'm interested. And then

368
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: so we kind of talked to some of the coaches

369
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: and um Tyrn did some he went I think on

370
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: Monday and did some like right tackle sets and stuff

371
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: like that, and said it felt pretty good. But just

372
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: so like you guys understand, like he went from he

373
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: hasn't practice since training camp, where the only practice left

374
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: at all at all, he comes back last week to

375
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: start his window only practices and left tackle Sunday. It

376
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: happens Monday or Sunday night. We talked Monday. So then

377
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: our first practice Wednesday, we're just in helmets. So he

378
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: does some right tackle stuff there and then Thursday, we

379
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: have a full padded practice and you know we're not

380
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: taking every single rep and practice the entire in so

381
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, we get some reps together. So it's pretty

382
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: incredible what he did on Sunday coming into the game

383
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: and playing right tackle, when he played it at a

384
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: high level. If you watched the film, he really did

385
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and it was pretty cool because we've always kind of

386
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: talked over the years like, man, have been cool if

387
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: we were next to each other and to kind of

388
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: have that opportunity, it's pretty cool. By the way, just

389
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: really fast, can you break down the difference for people

390
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: to understand that move from going from playing on the

391
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: left side to playing on the right and just how

392
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: intricate that is. Yeah, I think it's just like like,

393
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: for example, like me and Tyron, like younger guys when

394
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: they come in here and we're practicing, they'll they'll switch

395
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: back and forth obviously because we need depth and um,

396
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: you've got to kind of be able to play both

397
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: sides lines. They're constantly switching back and forth. Someone like

398
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: Tyron is not going to take any rep that's not

399
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: a left tackle rep. You know, probably for the last

400
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: I bet for the last ten years he has not

401
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: taking a right tackle set, and so for him to

402
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I played it in two eleven and

403
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: and come in with basically a day of practice and

404
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: to go out there and um, you know he they

405
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: had a plan, I think, and um, he blew that

406
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: plan right, Yeah, yeah he did. Yeah, yeah he did.

407
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: So to come in and play basically fifty snaps for

408
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: the first time all year, it's incredibly impressive. So I

409
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: think that's the hardest thing to do for from one

410
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: side the other because just you have to switch. I mean,

411
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: you feel like a little baby deer out there. You

412
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: have to switch everything, your hands, your feet, you're everything.

413
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: So it was it was pretty incredible to see you.

414
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: And I really didn't I tread very carefully here, but

415
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: I recalled you saying to me last week, I would

416
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: rather move from right guard to right tackle than from

417
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: the left side to the right side. I think the

418
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: world who follows all this understands that you really don't

419
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: want to be a tackle. You could be, you have been,

420
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: really don't want to be. But for you to say that,

421
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: I think is a great indicator what Haley's Yeah, especially

422
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: when you're not and like it would be different if like, hey,

423
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the season they said, hey, we

424
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: want you to play left guard next year, and you

425
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: have the entire offseason to do it. That's something entirely

426
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: different than Hey, you have basically two days to get

427
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: the practice reps, and we should be we'd be remiss

428
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: we didn't mention Jason Peters in here. Oh yes, so

429
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: the week before did it for the first time and

430
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: he was out two thousand and five, and he was

431
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: out here yesterday too, and it's it's, uh, you know,

432
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: it speaks volumes to those guys and the pros that

433
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: they are. They've been in a long time, and they

434
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: both they have the same goal. They want to they

435
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: want to go all the way, so they're they're they're

436
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: in to do whatever that takes to get it done. So, um,

437
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: it was really cool to have him out there. So

438
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: I just I just want to stay on Tyrann for

439
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: a minute because I make no uh secret of my

440
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: affinity for Tyrann. I pulled a thorn out of his

441
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: paw when he was just a cup and we've been

442
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: pretty good friends. Yeah, yeah, there you go. And but

443
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: but uh, Tyrant Smith has a you can't call it

444
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: a smile. He's got a grin that when when it

445
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: when he when it overtakes him, it changes the whole

446
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: aura of like a twenty foot span around him. It's

447
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: just the most magnificent thing ever. And so, uh, even

448
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: as upset as he was after the game yesterday about

449
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: having lost, I said, you know, they I talked to

450
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: him briefly and I said, you know, they said they

451
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: were trying to keep you on like twenty or twenty

452
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: five plays, and he got that little spot. But it

453
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: wasn't a little he said, yeah, I was having too

454
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: much fun. Yeah, I wasn't coming out. Seriously, can you

455
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: tuck him? He doesn't say much, he doesn't and he's

456
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: just like, you know, I've kind of been a, I

457
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: guess for the last nine years, a little bit of

458
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: a observer. Like we're playing on the same line, but

459
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: I you know, I play on the right side, and

460
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: so at no point are we ever blocking together ever.

461
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: So I've just been kind of this observer for the

462
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: last nine years, and so to be able to go

463
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: out there and play with him, it was, you know,

464
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: you get you get some confidence rolling out there with

465
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: seventy seven next year, and gosh, he just did it.

466
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: He did an incredible job, and I don't know what

467
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: else to say. It was I'm thinking about some of

468
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: the plays he had and um, some of the little

469
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: techniques that he was doing out there that he did

470
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: on the left side, and I didn't know if it

471
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: would translate right away to the right side, and it

472
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: just did. Where does that rank for you in like

473
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: coolest things I've done, Like getting to play next to Yeah,

474
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: yea more special because like again, I'll go back to

475
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: me and Terrence had really something going over there, and

476
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: I just think so highly of him, and I don't

477
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: want to take anything away from um, you know, what

478
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: he's accomplished and what we were able to do playing

479
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: next to each other, but um, you know, to have

480
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: I said it earlier, Tyrant has been the longest teammate

481
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I've ever had on a football team. And to be

482
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: able to play so long with a guy and um,

483
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, be you know, inspired by him and learn

484
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: things from him and just how he carries himself, and

485
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: then to be able to go out there and play

486
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: with him, it's pretty special. Zack Martin's our guest on

549
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: to do the shopping? Yeah, Um, she does a lot

550
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, most definitely, she does a lot of it. Um,

551
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, she'll pull me out there on a on

552
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: an off day and drag me to Target and we'll

553
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: get some stuff done. But for the most part she's

554
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: locking it down. What's your favorite part of Christmas? Well,

555
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: I think we've been doing the the elves. You know,

556
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: we're behind the elves every night that you do. Oh,

557
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: you are just like a clown thing. Do you know

558
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: what it is? I think it's because like they don't

559
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: have like real arms and left, so just like a

560
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: crazy creepy face and then just like fabric and then

561
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: they're doing bizarre things. It's just not for me. It's

562
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: gonna require some therapy. We don't have that built any

563
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: but they're they're d yeah, so you'll do that. And

564
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: then we've got the old Polar Express around the tree

565
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, that's what I can get. So

566
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: that's that's always a fan favorite. And how big a

567
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: deal will it be? As a dad? This is such

568
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: an unusual schedule this year. You play Christmas Eve afternoon

569
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: and then the game's over, you got Christmas Eve night,

570
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: and you got Christmas Day on what's gotta be your

571
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: day off because it's the day after the game. Uh yeah,

572
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: I don't think we've bet our schedule, but I would

573
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: imagine he would probably give us Christmas Day off, and um,

574
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to be able to spend the morning

575
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: with them, and my parents are coming in, so um

576
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be a nice uh hopefully soilebrate in

577
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: a victory and it'll be a nice, nice Christmas, very good.

578
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: The best Christmas? Is that your favorite holiday? Yeah, Christmas?

579
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: Fourth July, I would say probably number one. Fourth of

580
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: July and then Christmas fourth of July get up there.

581
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I'm from Indiana, so fourth

582
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: July is at the Lake, so it's just it's a

583
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: big week in the Lake career. What's your favorite holiday?

584
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: Probably Thanksgiving? Yeah, I don't think you can be Thanksgiving,

585
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: but Christmas is a close second. I'm actually excited about

586
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: this schedule too, because you know, I've lived all over

587
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: the place and this is the first time ever in

588
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: my like adult career, probably in like seven years, where

589
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: I get to be just at home with my family.

590
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm kind of remember the last time we

591
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: timed up with I don't think I don't think I've

592
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: been here, we've ever timed up with Christmas or christ

593
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. Yeah, I don't think so either.

594
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, obviously Christmas is only going to come

595
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: on a Sunday every seven years, right, Yeah, No, I don't. Unfortunately,

596
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't, Uh, you're not one of the teams that

597
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: plays on Sunday. That would be kind of a bummer

598
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: if you were playing. Yeah, and several teams, you know,

599
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: we have a holiday we play alrighty. So and that

600
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: is that has made I think Thanksgiving is is is

601
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: awesome because we've had the tradition of people coming down

602
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: and spending Thanksgiving at the at the stadium, which is

603
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So um, yeah, we'll leave the Christmas some

604
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: other teams. Let's get back to the field for a moment,

605
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: because you mentioned Terrence Steele, and you have been like

606
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: his press agent since since the offseason, if not before. Yeah,

607
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: And I think the a lot of people both in

608
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: the fan base and the media may have been a

609
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: little slower to come around to Terrence was greatness than

610
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: you were what talked, just talk about the things about

611
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, and I just like it goes back to

612
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: like when he first got here. I just think his

613
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: rookie year is such now that's the COVID year. That's

614
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: the COVID year. And Terence was a undrafted free agent.

615
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: We had no offseason program. We literally showed up. The

616
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: week before we showed up, we didn't even know we

617
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: were showing up. We got a call and said, hey,

618
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: training camp starts on Monday. New coaching staff, new coaching staff.

619
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: So the only interaction we had with him was over zoom.

620
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: And so we showed up and we had basically three

621
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: weeks of training camp before our first game, and I

622
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: think week one he was the starter. He was Yeah,

623
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: so you know, welcome to the NFL. And um, you know,

624
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: he took his lumps that first year, but I think

625
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: he just he came in with the right attitude, he

626
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: worked the right way. He learned from that first year,

627
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: and even last year he was in and out of

628
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: the lineup, switching over from right tackle to left tackle.

629
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: But um, I just kind of I knew I had.

630
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: I had maybe like a six or eight week expand

631
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: with him last year or Um, I could just feel

632
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: this guy like, especially in the Run game. You know,

633
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: he's good in the past game, but in the Run game, UM,

634
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: he's he's different. And I felt that and kind of

635
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, so um, coming into this year, I was

636
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: I was as big as fan because I knew he

637
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: was a key piece to what we wanted to do

638
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: in the Run game. And I think if you watched

639
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: the tape from this year when he was in there,

640
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: that bears true. As you know, we didn't have any

641
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 1: interaction with players that year except for on the phone

642
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: or right or a call. But I did talk to

643
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: him early in the year when it became a parent

644
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: that that he was going to be playing a little bit.

645
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: And I mean, here's a here's a like you said,

646
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: a free agent from Texas Tech, big old boy from Sibilo, Cibolo.

647
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: I think, is it sant santon area. Yeah, my family

648
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: lives in Sibilo. I know you say Santono, you're from Indiana.

649
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: If you know people who try to trying to be respectful. Uh.

650
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: The one thing that struck me was it just didn't

651
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: seem to phase him, really didn't rattle him. No. That

652
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: and that's a great point he's just a quiet professional

653
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: like he just he just does it the right way

654
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: and it it Uh, you know, he's not a big talker. Um,

655
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: he just comes in and goes to work every single day.

656
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: And that stuff's contagious, and UM, that's what I try

657
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: to be. And I think, you know, having having a

658
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: guy like that, it rubs off on everyone. I feel

659
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: like that's kind of a thing team. And maybe I'm

660
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: new to the franchise obviously, but like with Layton and Demon.

661
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: Demon talked to us last week about how important Layton

662
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: has been just from a confident standpoint. Is that something

663
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: to where like you get to that leadership of that

664
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: veteran role that you look forward to doing, or is

665
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: it just something that naturally happens. Yeah, I mean I

666
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: was extremely fortunate when I got down here. I mean

667
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: I had some unbelievable veterans, uh Doug and Tree, Doug Free.

668
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: It kind of took me under his wing, and um,

669
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: it made a huge impact on my career in that

670
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: first year and made that transition easier. So, UM, I

671
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: tried to do that with Terrence, and UM, you know,

672
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: if I could impart a little bit on him, that'd

673
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: be uh that'd be fine, and I think I think

674
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: I have And did you do that with be Outish

675
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: and with Tyler Smith? Also, yeah, I think, Uh, you know,

676
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: it's different when you're playing next to you guys. So

677
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: definitely with the outage, I mean, it's so funny just

678
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: because you know, we went from Wisconsin Center to Wisconsin

679
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: Center and it's like I always laugh and I tell him,

680
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, he just from my He does things that

681
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: Travel would have done, and it just it's funny to me.

682
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: So I'm always like, can you can you elucid well

683
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: the first time? So I used to always give Travel

684
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: hard time because he worked cargo shorts all the time.

685
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: He always wore cargo shorts and uh, it was just

686
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: his thing and uh, I was like, man, that must

687
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: mean it was constant thing. I don't know, I've never

688
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: worn cargo shorts. And the first day I met Beatach,

689
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: he walked in the building big cargo shorts, which just

690
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: made me laugh. Uh, and uh, did you try to

691
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: help him consciously transition? Yeah, definitely. I mean Tyler's got

692
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: a huge job. And we've talked about this before, but

693
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: obviously with traving Trav being here, I think I kind

694
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: of took for granted some of the responsibilities that the

695
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: center center has and UM, you know, I've definitely realized

696
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: more of that and UM tried to do as much

697
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: as I can to help Tyler with some of those

698
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: responsibilities because it really is, UM. You know, he's got

699
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: two jobs. Basically, he's got he's got to block his

700
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: man in front of that like we have to do.

701
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: But he's also got to get everyone on the same page.

702
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: And UM nowadays, UM defenses are are constantly changing personnels

703
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: and UM structures in game adjustments and and UM things

704
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: that he's got to catch on the fly and get

705
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: everyone on the same page. And Tyler Smith they put

706
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: in the locker right next to you. Yeah, yeah, And

707
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: you know, Tyler's been another guy. I mean, uh, he's

708
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: still learning the game, no question. But UM, the thing

709
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: I love about him and what I love about UH,

710
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, young guys who come in, especially UM early

711
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: draft picks that come in, UM, if you're willing to

712
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: come in and work and put the time in and

713
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: UM kind of not not not stay quiet, but you

714
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean, be a quiet professional and and

715
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: learn and ask the right questions. And that's something Tyler's done,

716
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know he's been. He's been a great

717
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: addition to him. Brad Sham and Hayley Sutton on the

732
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: you were talking about how you have some of the

733
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: younger linemen under your wing, where your kind of mentor

734
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: them do they ever look at you and never say

735
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: because obviously you're one of the best in the league,

736
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: if not the best, they ever say, and what do

737
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: I need to do to be just like you? Um? No,

738
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's like like that. It's more uh.

739
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely try to help in any way

740
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: I can, and like I'll use Badge for example, like, um,

741
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: he knows that I played with with Travis for a

742
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: long time, and UM, so he'll ask me questions and

743
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, how did you guys used to it? I

744
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think mine's connected with it, but

745
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: ask me questions kind of how how did you guys

746
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: do used to do this? How how did you guys

747
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: see this? So little things like that I try to

748
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: help him with. And then obviously playing um next to Terrence,

749
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: you're constantly Anne Tyler, You're constantly working with them and

750
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: in combination blocks with them. So UM just really talking

751
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: through kind of how I see it and UM hearing

752
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: how they see it and trying to come to an

753
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: agreement on how to do it. There's my name was

754
00:47:53,200 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: Corey Um. Going into this week playing against Philly, both

755
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: both teams know each other very well, so can you

756
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: just talk about, um, just like the details, I guess.

757
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: But then just a film watching with you know, both

758
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: teams knowing each other. Well, um, y'all was pretty pretty

759
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: able to run the ball on them pretty well. Um

760
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: the first first game in October. So yeah, I mean

761
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: they're obviously having a great year. And uh, anytime we

762
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: played Philadelphia, it's a it's a physical, tough game and um,

763
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: you know they've obviously added a few pieces there since

764
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: the last time we played them, so um, you know,

765
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to having another. You know, Division games

766
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: are fun, they're always uh, down to the wire, tough games.

767
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: So um, kind of diving into them, to the film

768
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: and seeing how some of these new guys are fitting

769
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: into what they're doing defensively, is Zach, how you doing good?

770
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: Are you? Um? My question is, uh, the bigger the

771
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: games get, I would imagine, the harder it is to

772
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: control your emotions. How how do you control your emotions? Uh?

773
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: With the bigger the games get, Because when I was

774
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: in school, I had guys that I went to school,

775
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: what they were literally vomit before they went out there field. Yeah,

776
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: I think thank you. I just think you got to

777
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: keep that, you know, I try to be pretty even

778
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: keel throughout the entire season. I just think the consistency

779
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: of that pays off in the in these uh you know,

780
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: high pressure situations, these games late in the season against um,

781
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: you know division uh you know, very good football team.

782
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: So uh, yes it is, UM have a little extra

783
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: on on it being that division game. But UM, the

784
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: more you can treat uh it's you know, the weeks

785
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: the same and stay consistent and stick to your routine

786
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: and your process aroout that week. UM, I think the

787
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: more success you'll have there'd be be careful now. But

788
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned for you with this next question.

789
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: It looks at have you ever been in jerry helicopter before?

790
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: Great questions? Questions. I have never been in the helicopter.

791
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: I have been to his house though, great question. Do

792
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: you want to go on this helicopter? No? No, helicopter

793
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: is it? Do you are you? Do you have an

794
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: a version to helicopters. No, I don't have an inversion

795
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: of helicopters. I don't like the heights in the whole.

796
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a big I don't love to fly, I

797
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: mean on an airplane. Yeah, I don't. I don't I

798
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: don't necessarily love to fly, okay, yeah, and so being

799
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: in it twice so I feel like he wants you

800
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: to know, emphasize mess interesting. So being in a little

801
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: smaller container where you can look out and see. Yeah,

802
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean I've never done it before, so maybe maybe

803
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: I would enjoy it. I'm not sure. Uh do you parasale? No? No, no, no, no, no,

804
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: oh I have Oh I love parasale. How about how

805
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: about what if it goes? Zach is just looking at

806
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: me like he's trying to get a metal picture of me,

807
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: and he's rather terrified of that picture. Like Scott, I

808
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: would never skydive. No, how about how about hot air balloon?

809
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: Never done it? Fantastic? That was actually so we do.

810
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: We do a um offensive line gift exchange for Christmas

811
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: every year, and uh, a couple of years ago, what

812
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: I was. One of the gifts was a hot air

813
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: blown Who gave that? Connor Williams gave that gift a

814
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: hot air balloon ride for two. I did not get it,

815
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: but uh it was it was Uh, it was like

816
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: a choice of a gift or well we play. Um,

817
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: I would love that gift. It's a it's just a

818
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: phenomenal experience. So is parasay like they do him a

819
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 1: lot of I see him up in the air, round

820
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: his air. So you know there's some great Yeah, there's

821
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: some great hot air balloon festivals at different times of

822
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: the year. So and so bungee jumping no no, no,

823
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: no, no no no, no, nothing like that. Off, Well, what's

824
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: the what is the most dare devilish thing besides try

825
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: to block three twenty pound men who want to hurt

826
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: you that? Uh you would? I mean I did roller

827
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: coasters growing up. I had no no how about now

828
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: I can't fit on them. So that's a good out.

829
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: That's a good out. Uh. The Philly talking about the

830
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: Philly game interests me because as they've had the year

831
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: they've had and you've had the year you've had, much

832
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: of the national media seems to address it like it's

833
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: going to be the super Bowl. Yeah, it never was

834
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: going to be the super Bowl. And now that there's

835
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: a little more distance between you and the standings and

836
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: you both know you're going to be in the playoffs,

837
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: how if at all, does that affect the mentality? Again?

838
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm to go back to kind of what

839
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: I said there. I try not to look at games

840
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: different like that. Um, I try to just stay consistent

841
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: in my in my how I approached the week and

842
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: how I do my routine throughout the week. And I

843
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: mean sure division weeks have a little extra to them,

844
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, just because we call them common opponents, right,

845
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: So we've had someone coming opponents the last couple of

846
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: weeks where a team like uh, the AFC South, Like

847
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: we play him once every four years, Philly, We're gonna

848
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: see twice a year no matter what. So there is

849
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: that familiarity with them, and obviously they've had an incredible

850
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: season and um, you know, we know it's going to

851
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: be a tough game. But UM, you know, I think

852
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: the most important thing going forward, we're trying to win

853
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: when the rest of our games, right, That's that's our goal. So,

854
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: UM you know we just have to stay locked in

855
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: and not let yesterday linger this week. Does the Jalen

856
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: Hurts news surprise you at all? Or it obviously doesn't

857
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: change the preparation Now, I don't think it changes anything.

858
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, um, you know, like you said, um you know,

859
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: we may see these guys again down the road, and UM,

860
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: expect them to have everyone you were here in oh nine, No, no,

861
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: too long ago when I graduated high school. Yeah, when

862
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: you were in high school at nine, you watched, right,

863
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys. I think it was O nine.

864
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: I played three times, yes, yes, and and and they

865
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: played Giants three times one year two. I don't remember that,

866
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: but I remember the Eagles because they had to beat

867
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles getting the playoffs, win the division. Then the

868
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: Eagles came the next week, and the whole big deal

869
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: was really hard to beat one team three. I don't

870
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: think we've ever played it. I don't think I've played

871
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: a team three times. Um. Does that prospect intrigue you,

872
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: interest you, bore you? Um? I mean I think if

873
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: you look just how the season has gone, in the

874
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: season that they've had, um, you've got to look at

875
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,959
Speaker 1: it and say, hey, if we're gonna, um, if we're

876
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna gonna get to the game that we want to

877
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: get to, you're gonna have to go play Philadelphia. So

878
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: you know there's a chance it'll happen. When you're trying

879
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: to qualify for the playoffs and the closer you get everything,

880
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: there's great intensity pressure as a privilege, as your quarterback

881
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: likes to say, but but the stakes are higher. But

882
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: you're in now. They can't keep you out. You've earned

883
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: your way in math. So how does that change the

884
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: intensity of the games as you Well, I think they.

885
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: I think they they continue to get more intense. And

886
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: we talked about it from here on out. Uh, you

887
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: know we're playoff football, right, Um. You you want to

888
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs feeling good and getting into a

889
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 1: little bit of a rhythm and um, so these next

890
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: three weeks are huge for us to go out there

891
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: and uh get things going before we hit the playoffs.

892
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: Mike talked about how valuable that Houston game was and

893
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: how it came down to the wire. Do you see

894
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday being valuable especially given and you know, yes,

895
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: it was very unfortunate, frustrating, um that we lost, but

896
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: I think there are lessons that are going to come

897
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: from that game. And um, like we said earlier, I

898
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: think he put up a stat last year, I think

899
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: maybe every playoff game came down to a final drive

900
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: and um, so we are certainly aware that this this uh,

901
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: this style of football late in December and into January,

902
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: it comes down to final drives. Well, he didn't the

903
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: heck of a job practicing for those Yes, I mean

904
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota game was more of an outlier. Yeah, it

905
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: really was. I mean I'm trying to think what other

906
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: games this year? Yeah, Chicago, Chicago, well, semi type right, Well,

907
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean you want usually he won by twenty but

908
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: you yeah, I feel like maybe one game a year

909
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: where you have that outlier game and um, but you know,

910
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: when you put up the stats at the end of

911
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,920
