Speaker 1: Kind of getting back to where we're at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season. UM, I think we played hard. You know,
Speaker 1: I think you know, everybody came out. You know, we
Speaker 1: knew that what we had to do. I'm going into
Speaker 1: that football game, you know, being the first time that
Speaker 1: we played them, that they were able to be balanced
Speaker 1: on us. I think we did a great job as
Speaker 1: a defense, UM stopping and run and UM disrupting the quarterback,
Speaker 1: which what we did earlier in this season. This is
Speaker 1: a Ravens team that you know, they pride themselves on
Speaker 1: physical football, you know, running the ball inside. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at some of the guys that you have to go against,
Speaker 1: will be Jeremy Zoo, Marshall Ganda. What are some of
Speaker 1: the things that stand out when you when you watch them.
Speaker 1: I mean, number one, I respect those guys, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, UM, we have a physical
Speaker 1: front front defensive line. Also, UM, I think that you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a physical football game. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: the most physical UM team go in. UM. I also
Speaker 1: think that, UM that our offensive line to be physical,
Speaker 1: our defensive lyne to be physical. And you know it's
Speaker 1: just you know, we're in a situation right now. What
Speaker 1: we gotta you know, it's you know, we gotta win
Speaker 1: the football game. And I know everybody is in this
Speaker 1: team is focused and everybody's ready to go, and you know,
Speaker 1: to get ready to get deep into the game, playing
Speaker 1: on tomorrow for practice, um, to get ready to go
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Obviously it's it's a team sport. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you can only speak for yourself. So with these games
Speaker 1: that you have left for me, what is it that
Speaker 1: it's really gonna fuel you to push through and put
Speaker 1: your best effort forward as you worked for the last
Speaker 1: week game as approached as you know, I'm approach just
Speaker 1: approached as I do every week, and I think you
Speaker 1: know that will help. You know, I have to be
Speaker 1: a leader. You don't have to keep the young guys going,
Speaker 1: because if I'm down, when the young guys are looking
Speaker 1: at me and they're gonna be down, you know. But
Speaker 1: what drives me about this game is that, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it so much, and you know,
Speaker 1: winning and losing, you have to go out and compete
Speaker 1: every game. You don't have to go out and compete
Speaker 1: every day. And that's what I'm mostly looking forward to,
Speaker 1: you know, putting good tape on film. Do you feel
Speaker 1: like these last three games to build momentum toward next season,
Speaker 1: they have to Um, you know, we need to finish
Speaker 1: these last three games strong and that thing. Let's take
Speaker 1: it on into next season, you know, take that momentum
Speaker 1: to the offseason where you know, hey, you know, we
Speaker 1: know what type of team we are. We know we
Speaker 1: can do when everybody is focused and doing what they
Speaker 1: have to do to be dominant in this league. It
Speaker 1: seems like everybody you're seeing the quarterback so well. I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I think you know, he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, won a Super Bowl and all
Speaker 1: those type of things. He's a great quarterback and another
Speaker 1: great quarterback in his league. As you said, Um, I
Speaker 1: think we just have to you know, be disruptive for
Speaker 1: earlier in the game. You know, we got to get
Speaker 1: him off a spot, hit him up, you know, hit
Speaker 1: him um you know, um, you know, make him do
Speaker 1: stuff that he's not comfortable doing. Um, and can't let
Speaker 1: him get hot. I think when once he get hot,
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of hard to stop him. How
Speaker 1: tough has this stretch been for you guys? Especially you
Speaker 1: start off so strong with a rookie quarterback, everyone's thinking
Speaker 1: about his team, his teams. It's a playoff team that's
Speaker 1: in that. But but but you know, this stretch of
Speaker 1: ten games, how tough has has been on you and
Speaker 1: the other veterans especially. I mean it's tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's part of it. I mean, that's what we signed
Speaker 1: up for. I mean, but you know, at the same time,
Speaker 1: we have to be mentally and physically ready because we
Speaker 1: know what this league presents. You know, you know, we
Speaker 1: know that we have to be physical. Um you know
Speaker 1: each week, you know, we have to be ready for
Speaker 1: the game plan. You know, we can't shoot ourselves in
Speaker 1: the foot. You know, just things that that we've been
Speaker 1: doing that has been hurting us, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: to be a great football team, I don't think I
Speaker 1: think we eliminate those things. You know, and we're in
Speaker 1: a different position that we're in right now. But how
Speaker 1: is it to know that you guys were in a
Speaker 1: great position and just kind of slipped away. It's tough.
Speaker 1: I think it's tough for anybody. I mean, you look
Speaker 1: at this situation that we that we were in. You know,
Speaker 1: started the season three and I started off hot, you know,
Speaker 1: we had an early by week, which I think kind
Speaker 1: of man step the momentum for us. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, we don't control those type of things.
Speaker 1: We don't control when we get the bye week, you know,
Speaker 1: come out the bye week, we get a loss, and
Speaker 1: you know we come back. Um, I think Washington, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's been so long ago, man, But you
Speaker 1: know right now is it's it's not about how we started, man,
Speaker 1: just really, you know, right now, it's about you know,
Speaker 1: how we finished this season, the last three games and
Speaker 1: you know, taking it one day at a time, but
Speaker 1: taking it one week at a time. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can if you remember, but are you able
Speaker 1: to briefly talk about Temple's new coach Collins? And I'd
Speaker 1: actually talked to Jeff yesterday, man, and uh, Jeff is
Speaker 1: you know, he's excited about it. I'm excited for him. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, and Jeff is going to bring a lot
Speaker 1: of competitives, to competitiives, whatever, competitiveness to uh you know,
Speaker 1: to that to Temple. Man. You know, he bring a
Speaker 1: lot of juice, a lot of energy and he comes
Speaker 1: with it, you know every day. Um, you know, Jeff says,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a leader, you know, and I know
Speaker 1: that from when I was at Missisippi State. You know,
Speaker 1: he always wanted to lead, lead the guys, you know,
Speaker 1: lead to defense, you know, just be one of the guys.
Speaker 1: That's that's actually you know, making a lot of noise
Speaker 1: at practice and that's why that's why players love him
Speaker 1: so much. Places person shot down Row Row
