1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Your initial action when Brian told you he was going 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: for two points and not the extra point kick. Um, well, 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean he's been very clear throughout training camp and 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: throughout the week kind of preparing for this game that 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna be aggressive in those situations and give us 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: the chance to to execute. So I wasn't surprised. I 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: don't think any of us were surprised, um by that 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: at all, given the play was that it was that 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: play called perfect for the situation, I think so yeah. Um, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, he had a heck of a game and 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: um it was big time for us and it was 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: a big time there too, So um yeah, I think 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: just just giving him opportunity to make a play. You 14 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: really spread the ball around to a lot of you 15 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: receivers and you're fairly accurate for the day. What was 16 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: your mentality as you were seeing coverages and in passage days? Um, well, 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: you know, I think it was just uh, you know, 18 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: trying to stay ahead of the change and move the ball, um, 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: take advantage of uh, you know, some of their spots 20 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: in their zone and and try to keep it moving forward. 21 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I thought we did did an 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: okay job with that there's some things look look to 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: clean up, certainly in the past game, but um, guys 24 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: did a good job getting where they're supposed to be 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: and making plays. What was it like for you just 26 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: watching se Quan play at that high level again, just 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: just your perspective one, what he was able to do today. Yeah, 28 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: it was fun, Um, a lot of fun. You saw 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: the explosiveness and and uh, you know, it was fun 30 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: fun to watch him. He's had a great camp, um 31 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: and you know, seeing where he's come from. He's battled 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: back from a lot of adversity, a lot of injuries, 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: and to get out here and do what he did 34 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: today was a lot of fun to watch as a teammate. 35 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: And and uh, you know as a friend, I seeing 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Staling Shephard come back from an injury so quickly made 37 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: that huge play in the third quarter, What was that like? Yeah? 38 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: I mean similar there. Uh, you know, he's had to 39 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: go through a lot to get back to where he 40 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: is now, and um, yeah, to see him make a 41 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: big time play, get behind the defense and score for us, 42 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: and you know a critical port point of the game 43 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: was huge. And knowing where he's come from, that was 44 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: that was fun to watch. Look like Brian came to 45 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you after the interception and bling you were on the bench. 46 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: What don't you say to you at that at that point? Uh, 47 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, I was just talking through the decision there 48 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: obviously one I'd like to have back, and and you know, 49 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: a costume mistake down there, So UM, I think he 50 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: was just communicating that and and you got to take 51 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities when we have points. Um, and uh, 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: we definitely look to clean that up. What was it? 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: How would you describe to feeling in that line room. 54 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: It's been a rough few years here, right, so to 55 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: win a game like this, what was that like? Was 56 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: it compared to anything that you've had here since you 57 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: were kind of start a quarterback? Um? Yeah, it was exciting. Um, 58 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, it was an exciting win. Force to kind 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: of come back there at the end of the game. 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't perfect. The first half wasn't um, 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, wasn't great, especially from an offensive standpoint. So 62 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: to kind of stick with it and fight down the 63 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: stretch then come out on top was was exciting. Force. Um, 64 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: We've played a lot of close games these past few years, 65 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: so um, you know it feels good. To to finish one, 66 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: come out on top, and be able to celebrate in 67 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the locker room. The interception in case if you're just 68 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: trying to do everything possible to get SAP on the 69 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: ball in that situation because of the kind of game 70 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: heans having, howld you described that, Um, it's just a 71 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: poor decision. Um, you know, certainly a play. Um you 72 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: know to to take advantage of of him and try 73 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: to try to get in the ball. But I've got 74 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: to make a better decision there and make sure we 75 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: uh keep our keep points. You mentioned, you know, a 76 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: lot of tough games, a lot of close games over 77 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: the past few seasons, seeing the brand new coach in 78 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: his first game decided to go for two in that situation. 79 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: A lot of times there's talk of the team taking 80 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: on the character of a coach. How do you feel 81 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: going into the future in close games seeing that, you know, 82 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: walked in here in the Nissan Stadium, you beat the 83 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: reigning uh number one seed in a real close game 84 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: on a gut s he call from your head coach, Yeah, 85 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: I think you know. It means a lot as players, 86 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, to know that he has confidence in us 87 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: to make that play at a critical point in the game, 88 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, is a good feeling and and uh gives us, 89 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: gives us confidence as a unit. And he's been clear, 90 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, he's been clear from the get go 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: that he's going to be aggressive in those situations and 92 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: give us a chance to make a play. So that's 93 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: what he did, and it gives us confidence as a group. 94 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: But we understand the responsibility to execute those situations and 95 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunity. What's the key on the 96 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: two point conversion? I mean, did the show who is it? 97 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: Not doing it too soon? He said, you know, what's 98 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: the timing there that he was going to need to 99 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: really concentrate on. Um, Well, I mean I think each 100 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: one of them is different. Um, it depends on the 101 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: red key and how he's playing it. But um, you 102 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: know you want to stay inside of the edge there 103 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: and and gives take quant a chance. So he did 104 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: a great job making a play there. Um yeah, I didn't. 105 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: He didn't bust open because sometimes guys will in that situation. 106 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: It was not a hun. He had to make a play, 107 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: did Yeah. Yeah, They're not all going to be perfect. Uh, 108 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: you know you understand that when you practice them. But uh, 109 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, luckily when you have se Quon Barkley works out. 110 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: What did you think? What were you thinking when he 111 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: called that fourth downplay that sort of good egg. Yeah, 112 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: that was a good call. Um. Obviously they're expecting a 113 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: downhill run and and I thought it was a great 114 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: call there, Um on fourth and one gave us a 115 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: chance to convert and then ultimately go down to score. 116 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: What your thoughts when he was lining up in the 117 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: field goal. Um, yeah, obviously nervous and and uh the 118 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: open he misses it. Um, but uh, defense did a 119 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: great job holding up. They played great all day. Um, 120 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: you know, played big time for us and um, you know, 121 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: forced a long field goal. We got pressure on the 122 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: kick and unfortunately for us, he missed it. Um, But 123 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: hats off to the defense. They played great all day.
