1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Um, well yeah, And I'll just start out by saying, um,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: how proud I am of our football team, coaching staff,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: just the entire organization. Um. You know, these guys have

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: worked so hard all year, going all the way back

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: to the off season program in April and um, you know,

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: just grinding it out day after day. Players have come

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: in it worked extremely hard. We've had our you know,

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: ups and downs over the course of the year, but

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: in the biggest moments and we had to player best

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: football and compete the hardest. They did it. Um. So

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: um again, I can't send off about them. The coaching staff,

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Brian Floores, Josh McDaniels, Joe Judge and all the rest

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: of the staff certainly are conditioning Moses Cabrera and the

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: strength conditioning staff. I mean just they they all did

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: a great job as a great team win and um,

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: just extremely proud of everybody. And and uh obviously could

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: do it without without all of them, and they they're

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: the ones that really deserve the credit. Players went out

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: there and competed against a great football team. I have

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a ton of respect for Sean his staff, the Rams

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: football team. Um, I mean that's a that's a great team.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, we knew it was going

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: to be a um as hard a competition as we

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: had all year, and it was um so just happy

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: to happy to be able to come on top, out

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: on top and make a few more plays than they

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: were able to make today. Great. Yeah, they came in.

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, we tried to correct us some of the

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: things that we did wrong. Obviously the fifteen penalties at Pittsburgh.

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: It's you're not gonna win many games doing that. Um.

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, we got some things straightened out there and

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: played well in the next two games against Buffalo and

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: the Jets, which were enabled us to get into the

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: playoffs and to get a buy in the first round.

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: So um, but they looked they these guys, um, their competitors,

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: and when things don't go well, they take it hard. Um,

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: but they have a resolve to come back and try

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: to fix it and get it right and get it better.

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so like that after the Tennessee game,

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: was like that after the Detroit game, Um, Jacksonville, Detroit.

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: So you know, we had a couple of stretches like

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: that where we really, um, none of us felt good

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: about where we were, but we just kept grinding and

44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: kept plugging away and things got better. An yeah, well,

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean that was a big part of us moving

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the ball. And then and certainly Tom so you know,

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: had two big plays to Rob on the flushdown drive

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: on the play action and then hitting him down the scene.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: And that was some great play calling by Josh and

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: great execution by Tom and Uh and Rob. You know,

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Jillian's you know, always gives us those kind of plays,

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: tough plays, tough catches, catching on plays, breaking tackles for

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a few extra yards third down. So um, you know,

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: he did a tremendous job. Our backs round well, backs

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: made you know a lot of plays Sony and Rex,

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: especially there at the end, we're able to change field

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: position and Steve made a big kick there to you know,

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to make it a ten point lead. So um again

59
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, offensive line. You can't send up about

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: those guys either. I mean that's a good front they

61
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: were blocking. Um, you know, we were able to move

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the ball, we just weren't able to score very many points.

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: We couldn't couldn't sustain the drives and get them into

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: the red area or get them into the end zone.

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: In the first three quarters and again that's a credit

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: to their defense. But you know, it wasn't like we

67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball. We just weren't able to. But

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: just then check on the scoreboard when the points coming.

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: Was your feeling of eventually you break through you or

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: were you seeing signs that called you you know if

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: you thought eventually, well again, I think they're a key breakthrough.

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: And I came with um. You know, with the when

73
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Josh went to the you know, like Danias met a

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: great adjustment. We talked about that on the sideline win.

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: It was a two tight end offense, but we spread

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: them out and we're able to complete some passes there

77
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: to Julian and then to Rob and and then you know,

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: hit the goal line, run the score. So it was

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: really well executed. Not something that we had. Um, I

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: would say anticipated doing a lot in this game. We

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: did a little bit of last week against Kansas City.

82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: But it was kind of the right time, in the

83
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: right situation, and um, we had good protection to be

84
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: able to make those throws. Tom did a great job

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: and getting the ball to the open guy was a

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: great throw and made to Gronkowski to get it down

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: to the two yard line. But you know, Josh McDaniels

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: did as usual, didn't outstanding child of play calling and

89
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: uh finding eventually finding things that that worked and that

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: close the big drives. For the same thing in the

91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: running game at the end, where we're able to knock

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: out a couple of big runs when we were backed

93
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: up and and uh, you know, they never really got

94
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: the ball back until you know, we had the ten

95
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: point league league. Yeah, team defense, I mean, there's no

96
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: one guy that can stop the Rams. I got too

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: many good players, too many, too many explosive guys. They're

98
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: too well coached. So um, you know, I thought we

99
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: played the run competitively. I thought we rushed the passer competitively.

100
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: I thought we covered competitively. We didn't give up big

101
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: plays which they've they've hit on everybody. So um, we're

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: able to for the most part, keep the ball in

103
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: front of us and and force them to execute, you know,

104
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: a solid number of plays to move the ball and

105
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: eventually we're able to get some stops the third I

106
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: thought our third down defense was competitive and uh those

107
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: shortened some drives and got us off the field. And

108
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: our kicking game was you know, our kicking game was

109
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: really good too. We don't know how many times the

110
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Penniments I had the ten yard line, it was at

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: least three. UM. But the field position we had Steve

112
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: gave us a couple of big touchbacks, so that helped

113
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: their defense out too. You know, they were on a

114
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: long field several times to it. Oh my god. Yeah,

115
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: we you know we we had two mistakes and coverage

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: in that series. And um, that was a tremendous play.

117
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: It was. That was a tremendous effort and great play

118
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: on the ball. Um. We had several good pass breakups.

119
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: And then of course, uh Gilmore's play on the on

120
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the blitz where he went up and the high pointing

121
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: ball and took it away for the interception was was

122
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: another huge And but yeah, Jason mccordy, I was tremendous play.

123
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: My god. Uh you know you see, Uh it was

124
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: a coach right. We were standing in our fair catching

125
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: ball on the end zone and mccordy came out of

126
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: nowhere to make the play. It was a tremendous play.

127
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Ficial mentions A questions just so into the day, and

128
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: I have your organization wouldn't been able to sit up last.

129
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Just keeps coming back. Oh yeah, I mean, I'd be

130
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: every year all night. So it's look there, we have

131
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of great people in the organization. It starts

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: at the top with Robert his family, and he's given

133
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: us great support and all the things we need to

134
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: do to be competitive. And again, we have a great

135
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: group of players and coaches that work extremely hard to

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240

00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: of extra time and effort, and we all appreciate that.

157
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: He's a tremendous person, a tremendous guy, and he did

158
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: a great job tonight. Yeah. I mean it's uh boy,

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's right there in front of us, and

160
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: we all kind of hope for the best but expected

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: the worst. And when he came back, we know, his

162
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: arm in a cast and his sling. It's you know,

163
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: nobody really had to say anything. We knew what the

164
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: story was, and it was unfortunately kind of similar to

165
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: the writing here some situation or Eugene Wilson for them

166
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: at or two, you know, broken arm broken and so

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: but I think it was there was kind of a

168
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of a not in a good way. Because everybody

169
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: loves Pat and Pat's such a good football player. I

170
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: can't say enough about Patch. Guys, one of the best

171
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: football players out of coach. He does so many things well,

172
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: and uh, to not have him then, first of all,

173
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: that meant that Devin had to make some adjustments. John

174
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Jones had to make some adjustments, Duran, And so I

175
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: mean we were spinning the wheel there because you just

176
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: never lose Pat. I mean Pat never. He does everything,

177
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: and he does it. He takes every playing practice, takes

178
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: that were playing a game, and so we had to,

179
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, scramble a little bit. But when then when

180
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: Pat came out there, I think really we all were

181
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of inspired a little bit too. We gotta get

182
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: this for Pat, you know, because he really deserves to

183
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: be out there and he's such a big part of

184
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: while we wouldn't be here without Pat Chong, there's no way.

185
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: But I'm glad we were able to, you know, glad

186
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: we're able to finish it off. And he so much

187
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: to our football team, both on and off the field.

188
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Thank you great, all right, thank you
