1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Uh, you look at guys like Burns, you look at 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: guys like Sleigh Motor. Just the veteran guys in this 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: locker room decks obviously. You know, I just flail with 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: a tight group and everyone's hungry. 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: How disappointing was this season? 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: Very just because of how hard you work, especially for 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: the fans. You know, we come out here and we 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: work so hard to give the fans, you know, a 9 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: result they could be happy for. So disappointing from that standpoint, 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: but you know, our effort stayed consistent. We've been working hard. 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: So uh, well, you know we'll scratch and claw this offseason, 12 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, try to you know, gain some more inches, 13 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: compete better, and it'll be a lot different result next year. 14 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: Needs to change for that to be a different result. Sorry, 15 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: you're not changing the GM or the coach. You're happy 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: with the effort. What needs to change. Defensively, we've got 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: to cause more turnovers. I mean, I think the two 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: different two most indicators for you know, winning in the 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: NFL are quarterback rating and turnover differential. So on offense, 20 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: we gotta take care of the ball. Defensive defensively, we 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: got to take take away the ball a lot more 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: than that, QBR. I mean that's a team stat too, 23 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, quarterback offensive line and then from a defensive 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: line perspective effect in the other quarterbacks. So if we 25 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: take care of those two, I think we'll do well. 26 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: The defense went through a change last year with Wink. 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,919 Speaker 1: We don't know. I would you like to see bowing 28 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: back and would that help to have some continuity there? Yeah, 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: I'd like to see going back. I think continuity be great. 30 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: Ever since twenty one, I've had a new defensive coordinator, 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, from Gus to Wink to coach, So I 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: would love to see continuity, get guys in a rhythm, 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, kind of build that communication, especially with young 34 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: guys on the defense. So yeah, I think that'll help 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: us grow. 36 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 2: It's not your side of the ball. 37 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: But how curious are you going to be for this 38 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: quarterback search that's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm excited about it. 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, ever since high school, you know, your quarterback 40 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: is the leader of the team. Whether you like it 41 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: or not, the quarterback play affects everybody. So, like I said, 42 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: it's not just quarterback, it's offensive line. It's everybody involved. 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: But you know, the quarterback is generally your leader of 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: the team. I'm so excited to see who that'll. 45 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: Be by will you were you and we're guys in 46 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: this locker room thinking about what might happen next with 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: the GM and the coach. You know, it was it 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: kind of an air of uncertainty or not so much. 49 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean in house, not really, but you know, with 50 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: social media, you see all different kinds of stuff, different 51 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: all kinds of opinions. So I feel like in this 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: day and age, that's the battle, the battle between the 53 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: in house h continuity and you know, dealing with the 54 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: outside media noise. But I feel like we do a 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: good job, you know, kind of eliminating the drama and 56 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: not getting too distracted. Just folks on the task a hand. 57 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: We're back her neated a disc her needed a disc 58 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: L four L five. I haven't been able to sit 59 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: for the past like three weeks without nerve pains, so 60 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: feeling a lot better now I can sit comfortably. So 61 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: a rehab process, you know, nerve pains they say they 62 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: grow like an inch a month, a millimeter a day 63 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: type of thing, so uh, you know, taking it slow, 64 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, they probably you know, saved me a little 65 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: bit being on IR because I mean after I got hurt, 66 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: I told them I was playing next week and I 67 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: was grinding, grinding every day to get better. But uh, 68 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, Ronnie did a good job, you know, taking 69 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: care of me in the rehab process. So kudos to 70 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: the staff. No surgery, no surgery. Got hurt against the Cowboys. 71 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: Uh got hurt in that game. I didn't ass I 72 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: feel that game. The next day I started feeling that 73 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: like nerve pain, and then they rushed me to the MRI. 74 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: Did think it gived be a timeline? 75 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: Uh, four to six weeks generally. I mean I told 76 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: him I was coming back into But but you think 77 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: you'd be on the field for spring here? Yeah, definitely. 78 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: How close do you think this roster is to be 79 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: the type of team you guys want to be very close. 80 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think you look at the offensive line. 81 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: Ilumina is a great addition, John Run, You're a great 82 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: addition at when he comes back. Uh, you got some 83 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: really good guys, John Michael Smith going into his third year, 84 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: I believe so. Uh, it all starts the offensive line, 85 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: and then you look at the other side of the ball. 86 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: You know you got decks. You got Burns, you got 87 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: kt uh Chat and what he did this year, Nacho 88 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: being a vet, so from a trench, you standpoint, we're 89 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: doing really well. We got talent. You look at the 90 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: rookies neighbors obviously elite Drew Phillips, uh Muisau Tracy, like, 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: we have a very talented team. So yeah, just getting 92 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: that consistency from the quarterback position and defensively, you know, 93 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: getting more turnovers. 94 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: You saw in the division what Jayden Daniels can do 95 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 2: for the entire operation? Are you hoping, eager, anxious, nervous 96 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: that you know you can get your Jayden Daniels here 97 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: and team can take off like. 98 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: That, you know potentially. I mean you look at him too, 99 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: he's got veterans around him, like Terry McLaurin zach Ertz 100 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: playing really well, Austin Eckler. So you know it takes 101 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, cohesive unit and then you know, big part 102 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: of our team is our defense. Obviously you got decks, 103 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: you got Burns, Burns coming in here being second or 104 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: third in the NFL and tackles for loss, like, you 105 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: have a very talented roster. So I'm excited for next year.
