1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: David, you're right. How do you assess how you guys

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: played up front? Throwing the ball a ton, really good

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: pass rush, but Mac didn't get sacked until the final

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: three minutes of the game.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, you got to be your best

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: at most crucial moments, you know, and and penalties, you know,

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: different things throughout the game, you know, clean up, but

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: have to be better, right, you know, And that's kind

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: of on us, you know, hat to talk to them.

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: They're really good football team, really good football team. But

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: you know, hard to you know, beat a good football

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: team when you're trying to beat yourself.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 3: And we did a little bit of.

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: That, some tough penalties and an execution like you mentioned.

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: But week one it's always tough. Everyone's trying to get

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: up to speed against the the NFC champions. What did

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: you learn about the team from this week?

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, there's there's no moral victories. There's no you know,

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: really no moral victories in life or anything like that.

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: But and you know, really gotta.

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: Execute at your best against a good football team when

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: it counts the most. And that that's what it comes

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: down to, and and that's how you win close football

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: games against good teams. He's you gotta do that, and

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: we just got to do better at that, you know,

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: like he said, penalties, you know, first few drives, you know,

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know when it was, but we

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: were going toward uh the optum club and you know,

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: two penalties on that drive, you know, getting into the

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: red zone or Manders, big rod, different things like that.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: So and then some crucial ones late, so you know,

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: clean those up. The game looks a lot different, but

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: that's part of it.

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Did Yeah, I think the last time.

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: I guess that would happen was sixteen Tony and Cars

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: and then maybe me and Shock and fifteen.

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: But I thought they did a good job.

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: You know, they got a lot of reps all summer.

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: I think that helped them.

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 3: You know, you learn, you.

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Got to learn the hard way, right, and so you

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: learn by going out there and taking your taking your

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: We all do right, taking our legs and bumps and

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: getting beat and and things like that. So they'll have

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: a lot to clean up. We all have lots to

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: clean up from this game. Proud of the way they competed,

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: where they answered against a really good, you know, defensive

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: football team and you know, arguably one of the best

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: fronts in football. But like I said, we just got

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: to be better when it counts.

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: Your guys down sixteen in this game, a lot of leadership.

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: What was it like to try to.

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: Get your teams get back in this team obviously all

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: the way down the last.

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's sixteen points. A lot of that

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: was on us. I mean, you know pick six where

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: they get a field goal off of the other fumble,

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: it was a touchdown.

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Sorry, So so now you're.

60
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Saying fourteen points that you know we kind of accounted for.

61
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, we knew we had a chance. We knew

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: we had to just clean it up, you know. And

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: I think the big thing is, you know, next play,

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: you got to have that next play mentality.

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: Can't sit there and dwell in the past.

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: And you know, good batter and different, you know, and

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: that defense played their ass off. Special teams played really well.

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, we just got to clean up

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: some opportunities that we have offensively, and you know, we'll

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: do that tomorrow morning.

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: I know you guys are in the locker room for

72
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: most of it, but did you get a taste of

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the halftime ceremony or any of the festivities for time today,

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Any thoughts about him coming back.

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean, you know, got a lot

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: of memories with Tom means a lot to me. He

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: taught me a lot about this league, and you know,

78
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: I credit a lot of my success to him because.

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: He he pushed me a lot.

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: He was really hard on me my first few months

81
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: here and my first few years, and taught me a

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: lot about the game, you know, a lot about what

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: it looks like to be a champion. So I all

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: alway appreciate that he was a great friend. You know,

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: he was always great to me, my wife, you know, anyone.

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: So maybe just getting back to some of the young

87
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: guys upfront with you, how much had you actually been

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: able to practice, especially with with City at right guard

89
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: when we were out there for camp, it looked like

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: he was playing tackle for pretty much the whole summer.

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: It's a good point. Yeah, look, I mean, you know,

92
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: things happened, you know he did. I mean, that was

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: That's the truth. I mean, there's nothing. We weren't having

94
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: secret practices without you, so you know, if we could,

95
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: we would. But yeah, look, City did a good job

96
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: getting moved in. But I think you know, played Garden College,

97
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: so you know, good transition. I appreciate how much they worked,

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: all the young guys, Calvin coming back working his butt off.

99
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

100
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: You know, we just got to clean it up, you know,

101
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: and like I said, you know, move on and and proof.

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing, right I think as a rookie

103
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: is just improving. You know, each week, seem what, all right,

104
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: what did this guy do to beat you?

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: All? Right? Now we got to take that. We got

106
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: to move on. How did I What did I do good?

107
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: You know, what can I build on? And then what

108
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: did I What were my weaknesses? And how are guys

109
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: going to watch this film and attack me? I think

110
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: that's a big thing. You know, you don't see in

111
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: college as much. You know, you're gonna have They're gonna

112
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: have pastoral specialists. They're gonna be watching it because all

113
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: these d linemen want to get sacks. And so they're

114
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: gonna watch the film and see what I did well,

115
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: what they did well, what they didn't do well, what

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: we didn't do well, and that's what they're gonna try

117
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: to attack. And that's that's how it is every week

118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: every year, guys, I think, you know, one. I think

119
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: the mental toughness today, right, I think that was big.

120
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: Being down the first call it quarter, you know, bad

121
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: football offensively, you know, kind of putting that behind us

122
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: and going forward, right, and even some other drivers in

123
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: there that weren't great, you know, not imploding. You know,

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: defense gave us a huge chance. We you know, try

125
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: to take as much opportunities as we can. You know,

126
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: I think when you look at a game like this,

127
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: it's pretty easy to see how we win, right, Penalties, turnovers,

128
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: wasn't a lot of mis assignments, you know, things like that.

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: So it's really stuff we can control, and that's what

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: we'll try to do this week and start tomorrow.

131
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: Thanks guys,
