1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The Raiders defense a little bit and crossing out there.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean played against him a few times,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: and obviously Max is a premier player in this league.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: And I think they did a good job this past

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: week and playing hard, and they try to confuse the

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: quarterback and put the defensive guys in different spots, so

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: I have some familiarity with it. Obviously, Coach Graham, it's

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: done a great job. I've practiced against against his defense

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: a few times, so it's definitely has some new wrinkles

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: and they've done a good job.

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: What do you want to do better? I mean, as

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: you look these last three games, three games, four, what

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: are you focused on MAC in your game?

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just taking it one day at a time, starts

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: to stay with practice and really just be where my

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: feet are. That's in the games, that's in practice, that's

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: anything in between. So I think that's one of my

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: best just going out there having fun slinging it around,

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: and I'm going to continue to do that, but really

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: just get back to that one play at a time mindset.

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: I think sometimes you put so much weight on a

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: certain play in a game, and really they're just plays,

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: so you can't look at it, whether it's the first

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: drive of the game or the last drive. You just

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: got to go out there and play and do your job.

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: And if you do your job on the play, then

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: that's really all you can ask for yourself.

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: Talking the post game last week about having fun and

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: how that's just always the way you approach it. Do

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: you see any of that residual on your teammates? Do

31
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 3: you see do you having fun and make a difference?

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I guess I'm think so. I think we've had some

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: good results here in terms of like moving the ball

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: and and like you said, having fun guys making plays

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: and really not letting one play turn into like a

36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: snowball effect. Does that make sense? So just kind of

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: just playing each play one play at a time and

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: keeping it loose. Whether we did something good on the

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: first series or something bad, so you got to play

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: each play like I say, always, And I think it

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: definitely carries over to them. I think that fits the

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: personalities in the room, myself included, and the coaches. You know,

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: it's not been the best season so far, but we're

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: also still striving for perfection and keeping it fun and

45
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: loose and trying to win.

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Busted.

47
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, only on the dance floor. But we'll probably we'll

48
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: probably pocket that one and just see if we're gonna

49
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: just get touchdowns. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I didn't

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: really know the significance of all that, but I don't

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: look at the social media too much. But yeah, my

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: girlfriend definitely said something about it and it was like, what

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: was that? But yeah, it was. It was good to

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: once again have fun, and I think that energizes the

55
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: team when the quarterback can make a play. It's just

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: for me looking at the film, just finishing those plays

57
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: and finishing the game and then everyone's gonna be in

58
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: a great mood because we won. Right, So that's just

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: the NFL is getting it to the fourth quarter and

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: making those plays and energizing the team.

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Never think of how weird your situation is, Like they

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: brought you here to be the backup, so theory, yeah,

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: you are playing because of the injury, and you're trying

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: to find a spot somewhere else so you don't come

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: back here. You know, it's just a weird situation, right.

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not really. I mean I've always just

67
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: been blessed to be a part of a team. Really,

68
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: that's why I play football and it's to have fun,

69
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: throw touchdowns and have fun with my teammates really, and

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: it's all about the team, whether that's offensive guys or

71
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: defensive guys, in the bond that you can create and

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: the friendships that you make. So I've been fortunate to

73
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: be here and made a lot of great friendships coaches

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: and players and people around the building. You know that

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: I've known for a long time, which is kind of fun.

76
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna just finish this thing strong and hope

77
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: everyone else does the same. I know they will. I

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: know we have the right guys in the locker room,

79
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead. What is

80
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: it about Britain and a skill set that makes them

81
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: just like a weapon that you can trust and have confidence? Yeah,

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: I think like I said, and after the game, just

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: he's really tough. When you have a tough tight end

84
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: like that who can block, run routes, do all that stuff.

85
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: So he really he can do it all. It's just

86
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: the challenge of consistency with him, and he's done a

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: great job when he's been in there, so and really

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: just opportunity, so he's taking it and run with it.

89
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: The challenges to keep doing that each week and I

90
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: know he will, and don't put too much pressure on yourself.

91
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Just go out there and be a leader like he's been.

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: He was a captain last week and stuff, so he's

93
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: done a good job.

94
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: A
