Speaker 1: on Monday night. Thank you, I appreciate it. So what

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: was it like? Um, Monday night, National TV, first game

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: of the year, all pumped up and then you look

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: around there's nobody that will watch you do. In a person,

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: it's a little weird, a little different. You know, you

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: go through go through your whole life playing with fans

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: out there, even in the Little League. You know, you

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: got your mom's up there screaming. So um, it was

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: definitely something that was the first time experience for me.

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously in any day, we gotta go

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: out there and play the game. So um still was

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: out there, still was able to focus on playing ball. Absolutely,

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: did you find you know, we are up in the radio, Boots,

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I was watching you guys before the game, and usually,

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, on the side line prior to kickoff, guys

24
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: are running around just bump high five in between plays,

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: you got the music going. Sometimes you're trying to pump

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: each other up. Did you find that there was, like

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: you almost hat, the manufacture some of that buzz and

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: energy that the crowd usually kind of provides on its own. Yeah,

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's definitely there's obviously gonna be energy that

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: the crowd providsed that you like, like, like you just said,

31
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: without the crowd, you kind of got to create some

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: of that on your own. But um, you know we

33
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: had music in they're gone and at the end of

34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: the day, we still got each other. And to be honest,

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: you you practice all the time, so you know, you

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: get used to It's not a foreign concept to us

37
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: having to generate our own juice, so to speak. Yeah. Absolutely.

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I know a lot of players say in that first

39
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: game you kind of feel like you're out of breath

40
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: for all sixty minutes and you're constantly trying to, you know,

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: catch your breath a little bit, and especially with no

42
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: kind of ramp up with preseason games, what was it

43
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: like for you trying to trying to keep your breath

44
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: in and stay full and throughout that entire contest with

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: no preseason games. UM, to be honest for me, for

46
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: me personally at least, UM, I felt pretty good the

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: majority of the game. I mean, one thing that that

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: coach judges it's been pretty big on is being conditioning

49
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: since he's been here. So UM, you know, I felt

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: pretty fresh for the majority of the game, to be honest.

51
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: And how so were you this week coming out of

52
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: your your first really game situation of Um, not very

53
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm you know, all in all, you know, I'm honest,

54
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good, very good. I looked like the

55
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: offense only in that game, Darius and a lot of

56
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: people thought not a lot of preseason action, limited practice

57
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: time might take the offense in the passing game a

58
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: little time to click. It seemed like you guys came

59
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: out of the shoot the timing was good. You knew

60
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get the ball. Daniel was getting it

61
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: out quick. Why do you think you're able to click

62
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: so early in that game with the passing attack? UM,

63
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we just it just comes to reps,

64
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, while we didn't have preseason games, you know,

65
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: we had a lot of time to practice, a lot

66
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: of time to go over these things. So, um, when

67
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: everybody knows that they're on the same page, and the

68
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: quarterback knows that we're gonna be and we know where

69
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: the ball is gonna be, it helps with stuff like that.

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: All right, take us through the deep post for a touchdown?

71
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: What was the play call? How did you get yourself

72
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: open on that play? Um? Pretty it's pretty simple, pretty

73
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: simple play. You know, I have a post on that

74
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: and then Evan's kind of coming over on and over,

75
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: and uh, we knew that the safety was gonna was

76
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna cut Evan when he crossed, and pretty much we

77
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: just had to beat that backside cornered. I was trying

78
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: to overlap, So, um, the general idea, you know, obviously,

79
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: is to outrun the guy that's initially over me and

80
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: try to try to get inside of him while maintaining

81
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: a high enough angle to stay away from that backside guy.

82
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: And obviously, um, you know, Daniel was able to throw

83
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: a good ball and get it there in time to

84
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: where I could catch it before the defender was able

85
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: to get there. Yeah, Joe Hay and almost made it

86
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: back from the opposite side of the field there. And

87
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: when when you looking at that corner on you one

88
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: on one and he's playing off and you know that

89
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: the whole goal is play is to get him beat

90
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: over the top. What's your focus in toarms of technique

91
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: to close that distance but then also create that separation

92
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: past him when he has that type of cushion on

93
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you on the snap first as you try to close

94
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: the gap between us as quickly as possible. And then, um,

95
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, I gave him a slight lean outside to

96
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: make him to try to make him slow his feet

97
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: or maybe just lean a little bit, and um, he

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: did that. And then once I know once like if

99
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I can get him to do that, I'm fast enough

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: to at that point, it's pretty over. It's pretty much

101
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: over with. So um, you know, I was kind of

102
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: my game plan going into it and unfortunately was able

103
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: to execute. Yeah, we had Victor cruizing here a couple

104
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: of days ago on one of our shows, and he

105
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: said that was classic teach tape. That's exactly how you

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: get on top of a guy playing off of you

107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: and and beat him deep. So you should be real

108
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: happy with the job he did on that play, Darius,

109
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: it was funny watching the one Daniel interception. A lot

110
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: of people haven't talked about this. If you watch You'll

111
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. I know what Daniel was waiting for. He

112
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: was waiting for you because you across the dog that

113
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: backlind of the end zone and you had to step

114
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: on the fender. He was just waiting for you to

115
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: get to that side of the field to to deliver

116
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: that pass. Do you think if he has that extra

117
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: second he's able to hit you with that touchdown? Yeah?

118
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's not even a second and a half second,

119
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, it's football is a game inches, you know,

120
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: And I mean he literally is is cocking his arm

121
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: back as he's getting hit. So, um, you know, obviously

122
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I believe if he gets that ball off and it's

123
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: in my vicinity, I believe I'm gonna catch it, and

124
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I believe there's a different outcome on that play. But um,

125
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of like I just said, football is a

126
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: game inches, you know. Sometimes you know, the bad guys

127
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: get on them. Yeah. By the way, similar after you

128
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: guys recovered that muff punt, he's looking for you on

129
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: that slant or that little in cut you're running on

130
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: the left hand side of the field when when what

131
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: gets to him and knocks that ball away? That was

132
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: another opportunity you could add four touchdown catches in this game, Darius, Yeah, yeah,

133
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, but potentially, Yeah, when you're playing

134
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: a heavy zone team like the Steelers and the Bears

135
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: you're playing this week, what are some of the keys

136
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver to try to work the zone,

137
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: find some space and make sure you're effective against you know,

138
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: teams that have a lot of experience playing those different

139
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: types of zones. Um, just being aware of where guys

140
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: are gonna or where guys are and where they're going

141
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to end up, you know, is the biggest thing as

142
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: far as zones, because everybody's trying to get to an

143
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: area of the field, you know. So, Um, if you

144
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: have an idea of where guys are gonna end up

145
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: being can it makes it a lot easier to be

146
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: able to find those soft spots pre snap. And I

147
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: imagine too that that goes onto the game plan, right

148
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: because I know, against against the zone, you're gonna want

149
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: to settle into areas while against man maybe you want

150
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: to try to catch the ball on the move a

151
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: little bit more so. It seemed to me that, you know,

152
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett and Daniel and you guys a wide receiver,

153
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: we're really locked in and you already and you the

154
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: exact right type of plays called to beat the type

155
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: of defense this dealers are showing you on Monday night. Yeah,

156
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean we definitely had some some really good calls

157
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: in there in that game. Um, you know, some that

158
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: we just didn't properly execute, um as players. But you know,

159
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: like I said, that's football. You know, you're not Every

160
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: play is not going to be perfect. But um, I

161
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: definitely think that last week they had us in a

162
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: good position to make a lot of plays, and I

163
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: think the coach will do the same this week. How

164
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: quickly we're able to kind of get into this new offense.

165
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people talked about how the

166
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: language is very different and that was something new to learn.

167
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: How much different is the scheme? You know, was it

168
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot for you to learn and a just two

169
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: or hasn't been pretty natural for you? Um, the it's different,

170
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: But um, the biggest thing is kind of just the words.

171
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times there's words that uh,

172
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: you have in a previous offense that mean one thing

173
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: that your new offense mean the different things. So it's

174
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: it's trying to delete the ode while learning the new

175
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: at sometimes is honestly the biggest humped overcome. I was

176
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: watching the Bears play the Lions last week. They have

177
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller, who was obviously a veteran corner, a really

178
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: good player for a long time, And then I thought

179
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Jayalen Johnson, the rookie, played a real nice game. What

180
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: did you see from these Bears corners when you looked

181
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: at him and on tape this week? Like you said,

182
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean Kyle Fuller, Well, we played him last year,

183
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: so I know he's a good player. He's a very

184
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: intelligent player. Um, you know, definitely definitely a guy that

185
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: you gotta have your intent is up when you're going

186
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: up against. And um, actually new guy. I mean, obviously

187
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: he's a ricky so you know, there's only one game

188
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: worth the film on him, you know, so it's kind

189
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: of hard to tell right now, but um, you know,

190
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: kind of like you said, I mean, he played a

191
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: good game last week, so um, you know, we'll see

192
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: how it goes this week. How much you take out

193
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: of your game against the Bears last year, and you

194
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: can take into this game where maybe you know, you

195
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: can take a few things to give you an advantage

196
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: having one year and one game of experience against this team.

197
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think familiarity always as helpful, you know,

198
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, having going up against Kyle for the

199
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: last year. You know, sometimes people tell you stuff about

200
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: players and oh, this guy's this or this guy's that,

201
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: and you get out there and sometimes they are what

202
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: they say and they aren't what they said, you know,

203
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: but um, you know, I'm Kyle Fuller is one of

204
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: those guys that I got out there and you know,

205
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: he's everything that people say is and um, you know

206
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: I look forward to the match up again. Yeah, he

207
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: likes to go after the football. They have another guy

208
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: in the secondary at safety, Eddie Jackson was one of

209
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: the best ball hawking safeties in the league. Darius as

210
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: a receiver, what can you do to make sure that

211
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: even if he reads around and maybe gets a clue

212
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: into what you guys are trying to do, that you

213
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: don't let him come up with that big deflection, with

214
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: that big interception to keep your offense on the field. Uh, Shoot,

215
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just as as simple as getting getting your

216
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: body between him and the ball. You know, sometimes, like

217
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: I said, you know, sometimes they get one. Sometimes defense

218
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you know has a beat or whatever and they get

219
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: a good jump or out of a break or something.

220
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: But um, you know, if you if you know that

221
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: or you see it coming and sometimes you know obviously

222
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: you're always trying to catch the ball. But but she

223
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it's better if it just hits you in the

224
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: chest and hits the ground then as opposed to them

225
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: getting turnover. The final two questions for Darius Slaying Darius.

226
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: You've obviously had a lot of experience with Coach Judge

227
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: over the off season with the zoom calls and then

228
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: training camp here in person, but this was your first

229
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: week coming off of the game and the team sits down,

230
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: you sit down in your groups, and you go through

231
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: the tape. You see what you did well, is you

232
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: didn't do well and you have to improve on it.

233
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: So what was that process like with Coach Judge and

234
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: the coaching staff this week going through the tape from

235
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Steelers and figuring out what you need to fix off

236
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: of Monday night? Um, I mean obviously we lost the game,

237
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: so there there's an air of disappointment in that, But

238
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: at the same time, there was a lot of encouraging

239
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: things on the film. Um, a lot of things that

240
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: we can control, you know, a lot of stuff. Uh,

241
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: some some stuff assignment wise, some stuff just execution wise,

242
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: things that we can control. So stuff like that is

243
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: really encouraging to see on film because you know that

244
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: going into the next week, if we just handle our business,

245
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: then things will turn out differently. Now we've heard Bill Belichick,

246
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: would us it doingland? Would you know, not be afraid

247
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: to call our guys in front of a whole team

248
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: in a meeting. Is that the kind of method that

249
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Joe Judge uses or is he more of a one

250
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: on one will take care of our business quietly type

251
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: of guy? Um, I mean, if you I mean, if

252
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: he needs to, I guess I mean I wouldn't. I

253
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: can't think of necessarily a situation just that sticks out

254
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: of my mind. But um, you know with that, I

255
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: probably say our Special Teams coach team has a saying

256
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: we attack problems, not people. So if anything, if Coach

257
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Judge does highlight somebody or something or whatever, he's highlighting

258
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: an issue. So it's not something that somebody's gonna take personally.

259
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's just something that obviously needs to be

260
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: fixed in order for us to be successful as a team. No. Absolutely, Finally,

261
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: last week, first week traveling in this new kind of

262
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: covid ra, Darius, I know you haven't done it yet,

263
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: but you know, what's your feel for how different this

264
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be in terms of traveling and going to

265
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: place Chicago? Um, in, what's gonna be probably one of

266
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: the weirder trips you're gonna have to take. Yeah, I mean,

267
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's gonna the flight's probably gonna be a

268
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: little bit more spaced out than before. Nothing wrong with that,

269
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: by the way, give you a little more room to

270
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: stretch out, I guess. But uh, um, you know, I

271
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: mean not not too much would be too much different,

272
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean knowing real thing mean last year. You know

273
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: sometimes if you go to a city or something, you

274
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: might go get something to eat. Um, but um, you know,

275
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean it will be I assume

276
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: it would be pretty much the same. Darius, Good stuff,
