How much did you and the 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 2: team just kind of feed off the energy? You guys 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: came out with a lot of energy. To where did 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: that come from? And what was that like to watch 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: all three faces kind of take it to them From 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: the start. 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: I think it started with coach saying, no naps, you 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: don't want to come out here and start fast. And 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: we knew this team has been up in a lot 11 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: of games and they had good players over there. They 12 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: have some good talent, and we wanted to try to 13 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: get on them fast. And you know, Marcus helped us 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: with that, and you know what a what a what 15 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: a return for him and you have the kickoff return, 16 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean kickoff coverage. I mean, I think just all 17 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: phases of the game showed up a different points. And 18 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: I still think offensively in the second half, we got 19 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: to put some more drives together to he'll put the 20 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: game out of. 21 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: Reach, Drake. 22 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: Coach Rabel just said that you're realizing what you can 23 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: be and the impact that you make on the offense. 24 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: What is that to you? 25 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 4: Shoot? 26 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: Just trying to be trying to be the face, trying 27 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: to be the conductor, calls the conductor of the offense. 28 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: You're trying to be the face of the offense, trying 29 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: to you'll want the want, the want, the pressure, you 30 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: want to you know, the ball in my hands. And 31 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: I've you'll try to show that all year and and 32 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: throughout my career. So that's what you know, I kind 33 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: of feel like. And I know they feed off of 34 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: me and feed off my energy and feed off of 35 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, what I say to those guys, and what 36 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: I say you'll mean something to them.

That's what 41 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the guys you like the most. 42 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 5: So I was just gonna stay on Coach Rabel. You 43 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 5: hear those m v P chants a lot, whether you're 44 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 5: here them or not, they're there. Do you think he's 45 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 5: mounting maybe a campaign for Coach of the Year. 46 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 47 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 5: He also promised to shave the mustache. Are you happy 48 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 5: or said about it exactly? 49 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: I thought it looked good. 50 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: I think it was for a great cause I think 51 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: he uh man, I think you know the awards, then 52 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: he'll probably say the same thing. He's your word about 53 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: each and every week, and that stuff will come. But 54 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, he's got my vote, and he's got a 55 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: lot of people's vote. He's everybody's you know in this 56 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: organization and you know, in that locker room, and I'm 57 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: sure across the league. 58 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: Your coach reference they hit the other quarterback god and 59 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: playing through the whistle, and he intimated that that that 60 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: might have been a subtle reminder to you on certain 61 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: plays on being careful about being taken down hard. Uh So, 62 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 3: I guess two quick questions. Did that resonate with you 63 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: in any fashion? And was there any winking or eye 64 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: contact from your coach after that play? 65 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: No? I think it's ah, you know something that that's 66 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: been across the league that showed up with with quarterbacks 67 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: near the boundary or near the sideline, just kind of 68 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: relaxing and and uh, I think I learned last year 69 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers, I had one of the same sideline over there. 70 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: I got smacked on the sideline. So just be smart 71 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: and know you almost got to accelerate or get down 72 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: or you know, do something over there. But I think 73 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, Jackson makes some good plays at his feet, 74 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: so he's tough to he's tough to handle. 75 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: Your coach didn't look at you and give you one 76 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: of these or anything like that. 77 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you needed I don't think you 78 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: need to. You heard the hit from the sin, so 79 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: I think everybody in the stadium knew. 80 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: And on the left. 81 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: Hey Drake, uh, excuse me. 82 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: Just as far as tonight, you know what it went 83 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: as planned and what might have surprised you if anything. 84 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: I think starting fast, I think starting fast win is planned. 85 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: That's what we wanted to do. I think, uh, you 86 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: have some play designs that that coach had and uh 87 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: we practiced all week that that worked. And you know, 88 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: I think that that's the biggest thing is that you 89 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: knew they had a new coordinator calling it for the 90 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: first time, so they're gonna bring something some stuff that 91 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: we didn't expect. And I think we tried to you 92 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: handle the guys up front. They got a great rush, 93 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: great players up front. I thought the guys did that 94 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: all night them. One sack we had was was my fault. 95 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: And I think from there, I think just coach saying 96 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: no naps. I think we need to do a better 97 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: job and second half of uh, you know, living that 98 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and you know, put them out of reach and getting 99 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: in across midfield and putting a drive together. Score touch. 100 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: Now, hey, Drake, backups today at left tackle and left guard. 101 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: What was the key for you guys on offense to 102 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: kind of minimize that packed I guess. 103 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: I told him I had a full faith them. You know, 104 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: we got a lot of reps last year of dropping 105 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: back and you'll trust those guys and I think they're 106 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: great players, and they stepped up. Like I said in 107 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: pre game, I think they stepped up all year. You know, 108 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: anybody's been thrown in the fire, and just proud of them, 109 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: Proud of them for you working hard and learning this offense. 110 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: And you'll staying on the same page and be on 111 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: the same page all night and doing a great job tonight, Drake. 112 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 4: Sort of a two prime question.

Probably those guys 127 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: for that.
