Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on in idle at that point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think, um that that fourth quarter kind
Speaker 1: of those circumstances has kind of been the pit of
Speaker 1: me of our season, and we did not blink. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guys in the huddle were so confident. Folds was
Speaker 1: so confident, everyone was so calm that. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: been in that situation so many times together and no
Speaker 1: one flinched. And I mean, I think that's the mark
Speaker 1: of a good team. Obviously, the season isn't exactly where
Speaker 1: we thought we would be, but I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of guys would have kind of mailed it in. I mean,
Speaker 1: to be up twenty nine sixteen with four minutes left
Speaker 1: and to be down and the blink of an eye
Speaker 1: is tough. But guys didn't blink. Guys stay together, and
Speaker 1: I mean that's the market this team. We're always going
Speaker 1: to stick together. We truly care and love one another. Um.
Speaker 1: I think you guys can see that each time you
Speaker 1: interact with the guys in the locker room. It's not
Speaker 1: an individual game for us by any means. Guys just
Speaker 1: want to play to the best of their abilities, so
Speaker 1: that for each other. And I think that's mark of
Speaker 1: a great team. Nick came back in the huddle after
Speaker 1: getting knocked down. Yeah. I mean, obviously the place went crazy,
Speaker 1: but we just wanted to make sure he was good.
Speaker 1: And I think the way he jogged off the field,
Speaker 1: everyone thought he was gonna be good. Um, sat out
Speaker 1: of play and came back and let us down the
Speaker 1: field like it's he seems to do. Um. I mean,
Speaker 1: he played out of his mind to set the franchise
Speaker 1: record for passing yards. Incredible. He's just an unbelievable player,
Speaker 1: unbelievable person. He's so calm, his demeanor is so calm,
Speaker 1: and he's really good player. Um. It was just kind
Speaker 1: of the scissors corner route that we always have post
Speaker 1: by number one. I had a corner Darren was to
Speaker 1: the flat. Um. I'd been taking a lot of inside
Speaker 1: releases against him. Um, so I kind of sold the
Speaker 1: inside release, kind of threw him inside, and I think
Speaker 1: he kind of ran into the linebacker. Um. I think
Speaker 1: he tried to something happen where my feet got tangled
Speaker 1: up and so I was kind off balance and Nick
Speaker 1: just kind of laid the ball out there allowed me
Speaker 1: to run under it, and I was able to stay
Speaker 1: in bounce and make the play, and I tried to
Speaker 1: get out of balance in that situation. UM, I don't
Speaker 1: think I've truly I don't think I've truly come to
Speaker 1: grips with it yet. I Mean, one thing I do know,
Speaker 1: I'm thankful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ UM
Speaker 1: for allowing me to be here. I'm thankful for everyone
Speaker 1: that's helped me along the way. The one thing I
Speaker 1: do know is I didn't get here by myself. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jason Witten has been as has been a huge part
Speaker 1: of this UM, so technically I think a part of
Speaker 1: him still has the record. UM. Brent Sellick has been
Speaker 1: huge for me. There's just been so many people along
Speaker 1: the way that I have helped me that I'm just
Speaker 1: eternally grateful for UM. But like I said, what I
Speaker 1: do know is that I didn't do this by myself.
Speaker 1: I think it truly takes a village to become a
Speaker 1: professional athlete, my family, my wife. UM. So thankful for
Speaker 1: everyone that's helped me along the way. UM. And it
Speaker 1: is special though, I mean, having that record is something
Speaker 1: that hopefully it will last a while, but if not,
Speaker 1: be happy for the next guy to do it, UM,
Speaker 1: but it is special. I haven't really checked my phone yet, UM,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. We're involved throughout the game, you know,
Speaker 1: specially girly. Was that part of the game plan? Was
Speaker 1: that something you saw you can take advantages. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: they're a big zone team. They're big zone defense, and
Speaker 1: finding zones is kind of something that I take a
Speaker 1: lot of pride in. UM. But I mean they're a
Speaker 1: really good defense. That front four, those front seven guys
Speaker 1: really really talented Clowney, Watt, McKinnon, really talented players. We
Speaker 1: weren't able to run the ball probably as efficiently as
Speaker 1: we wanted to. Um. We didn't run the ball great, UM.
Speaker 1: So most of that was due to their talent in
Speaker 1: their front seven. So we kind of had to pass
Speaker 1: the ball more. UM. And I'm just glad we won
Speaker 1: the game. That is the bottom line. To have that
Speaker 1: that many targets and catches it and to win the
Speaker 1: game feels really really good. UM. And that is what
Speaker 1: I love. The second top down, Zach, you got wide open.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that was the motion going the other
Speaker 1: way that kind of threw them off. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the motion was a part of it. I think
Speaker 1: al Sean, being as big and physical as he is,
Speaker 1: the guy kind of ran into him. He didn't mean
Speaker 1: to pick him by any means. He just kind of
Speaker 1: ran into al Sean. Um the jet motion I think
Speaker 1: threw him off a little bit. But Nick just kind
Speaker 1: of losted it out there. I thought I was gonna
Speaker 1: get hit when I saw no one was around me.
Speaker 1: I try to make a play. And when you're that,
Speaker 1: I think when you're that, I think when you see
Speaker 1: the goal line like that, I'm just always trying to
Speaker 1: make a play for the team. Um, guys blocked their
Speaker 1: butt off downfield. Um, I was just happy with scoring.
Speaker 1: You guys have won four year, last five. Now with
Speaker 1: rolling a little bit and be still, you know it's
Speaker 1: not just you. You guys have the most of other
Speaker 1: things happened. How tough is that too, to be playing
Speaker 1: this well finally as a team and have to rely
Speaker 1: on other people. Yeah, like you said, I mean it
Speaker 1: is tough. It's tough not to really control your own destiny.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you focus on everything
Speaker 1: else that's going on, and then we have a slip
Speaker 1: up because we're not focused on our job, and it's
Speaker 1: really not gonna matter. So we've said for a while now,
Speaker 1: every game is a must win game. That's the way
Speaker 1: we've approached these past five games. I mean, we were
Speaker 1: four and six at one point after the Saints when
Speaker 1: we just got smacked down there and no one quit.
Speaker 1: Everyone was focused on just doing their job better. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the mark of a good team. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we need some help, and hopefully we do get some help,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, we're focused on beating the Redskins,
Speaker 1: putting together a really good week of practice because I mean,
Speaker 1: we practice really hard. That's I think that's the that
Speaker 1: is the I think. I think that's the hallmark of
Speaker 1: this team, the way we've practice each and every week,
Speaker 1: and hopefully, I mean, we just need to go there
Speaker 1: and win. We can't look at it if the Bearers
Speaker 1: win and or if the Vikings win, or if the
Speaker 1: Seahawks lose twice. We just got to focus on being
Speaker 1: the best team we can next week against the Redskins,
Speaker 1: against another really talented front um and some I mean
Speaker 1: that defense is extremely talented. Mars it about Nick that
Speaker 1: makes the team rally around him. Um, he's extremely calm Um,
Speaker 1: he's always exuding positivity. UM not. I mean it's hard
Speaker 1: to talk well about one guy and then um if
Speaker 1: it seems the comments are going to come off as
Speaker 1: demeaning another. So I don't want to do that by
Speaker 1: any means. I just want to solely focus on Nick Um.
Speaker 1: He's he's playing at an extremely high level. Um. We
Speaker 1: love playing for him because he's always exuding that positivity
Speaker 1: and guys love playing for him. I mean, he's always
Speaker 1: going to give us a chance on those jump balls,
Speaker 1: those fifty fifty balls, UM. And I think he just
Speaker 1: ultimately trust us to make plays, and he's done that
Speaker 1: for years here. Um, and he's a really talented quarterback. Question.
Speaker 1: What have you noticed out of him during week on
Speaker 1: the sidelines, Yeah, I mean he is the first guy
Speaker 1: helping out Nick um what he sees in the game plan.
Speaker 1: He's there early, trying to help those guys out, trying
Speaker 1: to help uh, I think, just with the game plan.
Speaker 1: So he's still in that same role where he's getting
Speaker 1: there extremely early, staying late, helping those guys out anyway
Speaker 1: he can. Um. I mean, and I think that's the
Speaker 1: mark of a of a leader. No matter what's going
Speaker 1: on individually, he's always focused on the team, and I
Speaker 1: think that's why guys respect him so much. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's been through a ton of adversity, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, everyone knows he's a leader of this team,
Speaker 1: he's a franchise, and when and if he gets back
Speaker 1: this year, I can't wait to play with him. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, Nick is playing extremely well and
Speaker 1: we're pumped to have both of them
