Speaker 2: very physical, very tough, extremely well coached football team, no

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: question about it. One of the best coaches of this generation,

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: no question. I believe that even if it weren't my brother,

16

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: Are you surprised that the amount of attention he continues

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: to get.

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,920

Speaker 2: since he was born, and uh, I've got that on him,

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of months. But uh uh he's

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: way of seeing things. I think that's really interesting and uh,

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: you know that's why people are interested in hearing from him.

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 7: The nature between you two guys.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously you've based off in the biggest stage

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 8: of them all in this sport. But just where does

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 8: it get How hot does the competitive nature get between

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 8: the Yeah.

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: It used to get hot, you know.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean back back when we were younger, it was

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: it was every day it was one fight or another.

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: He was reminding me a couple couple of weeks ago,

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: months ago about this a little I was. I used

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: to be bigger than him most of the time. Then

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: he would he ended up bigger. Obviously, he's a he's

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl quarterback. You know, he's seventeen year player

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. He's a great athlete, always was.

46
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: But most of the time I had the edge on

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: him in growth until we got to be you know,

48
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: about eighteen nineteen and I'd hold him down on stuff,

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: and he had this technique called the crab technique, he

50
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: called it, and he would basically get out his back

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: and he gets hands and his feet up there and

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: he just fend me off, you know, his hands and

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: his feet and I couldn't get to him.

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: It's really athletic. So I came up with the technique.

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: We had these big brown pillows in our basement that

56
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: you land to watch TV, these old suede brown pillows,

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: corduroy brown pillows, and I would be able to take

58
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: the pillow and i'd you know, swipe his feet down

59
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: and pin him and then get back on top of him,

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: you know. And I had forgotten about it. I mean,

61
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: I did not remember it. But when you're the younger brother,

62
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: that's the kind of thing you remember, you know. So

63
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: I take a little credit for his toughness. I guess,

64
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: you know, he's probably one of the toughest people I know.

65
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 9: He was on the he was on the rich Iscean

66
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 9: Show the other day and he talked about when he

67
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 9: looks at your team carefully, when he looks at you

68
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 9: guys on tape, there is an element of kind of

69
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 9: staring in the mirror. I guess in part because of

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 9: all the people they have there who are from here.

71
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 7: But I mean, do you do you see that?

72
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 9: I mean, do you see a powerful connection between the teams,

73
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 9: whether it's the people and solid or whatever.

74
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, all of it, all of it.

75
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 2: The you know, the culture, the way things are done,

76
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: but the how they play. Certainly, the schemes very similar.

77
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, the schemes are a lot of ways not

78
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: exactly the same, but a lot of ways mirror images

79
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: the people coaching, a lot of the guys playing. But

80
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: you know, with that, it's two different football teams. You know,

81
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: it's two teams squaring off in a really important game.

82
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 2: You know, and that's really what it's gonna be about.

83
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be about the guys out there playing the game.

84
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: You know, it takes a lot of curds to play

85
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: this game, man, It takes an incredible amount of toughness

86
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: to play this game with these guys put into.

87
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: It that kind of an effort week after week.

88
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: And we're coming off one of those games, we're going

89
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: into one of those games. There'll be one of those

90
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: games the next week after that. That's what the National

91
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Football League is That's why I think these players deserve

92
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: so much respect for what they do. It's a player's game,

93
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: you know. It's an honor to be in this game coach.

94
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: It's I told the players just this week in the

95
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: opening meeting, you know, and it's a quote that they

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: didn't probably get you'll get it.

97
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 5: I told him.

98
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: I feel like the luckiest man on the face of

99
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: the earth, you know, and I do because you get

100
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: a chance to coach these guys and be around them

101
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: every day.

102
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 10: What is it like just coaching against someone that you

103
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 10: are so close with has been your sounding board both

104
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 10: of you throughout your entire careers.

105
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 9: Like, is there that element that you do know him

106
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 9: really well and can anticipate.

107
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 11: That on a game day.

108
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: I don't know about anticipating stuff.

109
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: I think it's more in the emotional world, you know,

110
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: It's more in the in that in that in that place.

111
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very it's unique and it's never been

112
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: done before, you know, and I don't know if it

113
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: will happen again for a long time. You know, this

114
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: this particular thing. So I think it's hard to describe

115
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: it and say to people. If you have a sibling,

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: you know, you're close to you probably understand it. You

117
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: probably can put yourself in those shoes and just kind

118
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: of imagine what it's like to be across the sidelines

119
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: in an NFL game, coaching your teams.

120
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 5: Everything else is the same.

121
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 12: Your parents handling it this week, And what's the conversation been.

122
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: Like, Uh, yeah, it's been. It's been. We've talked about

123
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: a lot of different things besides football. You know, is

124
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 5: that off limits?

125
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 13: Now?

126
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 5: The football?

127
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: It's not off limits, but it's really just not it's

128
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: just what have we gott to talk about? You know,

129
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: I mean everybody kind of understands the situation. They're not

130
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: going to the game. They're going to watch it down

131
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: in Florida at my sister house or with Joni and

132
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: Tom Crane, and that's their plan. I understand why they're

133
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: doing that. You know, it's it's great, but it's hard.

134
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 5: It's our anniversary in practic is their anniversary?

135
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: Yep, it is their anniversary November twenty fifth. They got

136
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: married in nineteen in nineteen sixty, nineteen sixty one, because

137
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: I was nineteen sixty two, right, sure, yeah, yeah, it

138
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: was over a year later, so yeah, that'll be their anniversary.

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 10: Technically, told the team stories about your guys's previous meeting,

140
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 10: or stories like you just told us about growing up

141
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 10: with Jim. What was it you told your players stories

142
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 10: about you guys growing up or just to not really,

143
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 10: I mean.

144
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: I told we've talked, we've told some stories over over

145
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: in the past, but not this week, you know, really

146
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: this week it's it's there's it's just too it's two

147
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: for the players and the coaches. It's not about that

148
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: because we have such a challenge. I mean, the challenge

149
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: is playing the game. Getting in that game and playing

150
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: that game against that team is the biggest challenge you

151
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: could have, you know, and that's what everybody's focused on.

152
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 14: To your point, Obviously you're focused on the game. Jim

153
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 14: focused on the game. Will there be a moment where

154
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 14: you are able to step back from it and appreciated

155
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 14: or have a moment with him at some point? Is

156
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 14: that and is that different than maybe it would have

157
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 14: been earlier in your guys' career when you faced each other.

158
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

159
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: Sure, we'll talk before the game, you know, the chit

160
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: chat before the game, and it'll be different because it's

161
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: my brother, you know, than it is with other coaches

162
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: and it'll be it'll be great. We had that kind

163
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: of moment for the Thanksgiving game. We talked before the

164
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: super Bowl same way, and they I don't think it's

165
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: different in that sense. It's a it's really it's really cool.

166
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: But you know, really, even when you're talking, there's your

167
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: thoughts around the game.

168
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 8: You know, the teams, John, this team, the Charges have

169
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 8: already kind of turned the corner pretty quickly under jump.

170
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 7: Can you when you watch the team, can you kind.

171
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 8: Of see some of the elements that you can kind

172
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 8: of pinpoint his fingerprint as to how this team has

173
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 8: changed just within the last year.

174
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

175
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean to me, it's it's it's a it's a

176
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: it's a reflection of his coaching style, it's it's a

177
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: reflection of his football personality. I think they've taken that on.

178
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: They've gotten those kind of people, and you guys all

179
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: pointed out with your questions. I mean they've they they've

180
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: surrounded themselves with people that that see the game the

181
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: same way, and their team reflects that players and coaches

182
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: and uh, they're doing a great job.

183
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I Jim, have you can you ever remember facing

184
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 9: with you or both the offensive ringer and the if

185
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 9: it's coordinator had worked through you in the basket.

186
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: No, no, I have to I can't say that I

187
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: can recall that along those lines.

188
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 6: I mean, when you look at the connections between the

189
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 6: two teams, it's a long sheet of guys that are interchanged,

190
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 6: I don't want to say interchangeable.

191
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 13: They've worked for both our balls, right, it's a it's

192
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 13: an amazing number.

193
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: Does that change the game in any way in terms.

194
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 5: Of planning and what the knowledge.

195
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: Some of these people may have on you.

196
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: It's different than other games, sure, because you know, we

197
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: we we we know the schemes pretty much. But they'll

198
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: be wrinkles, you know, there'll be ideas. It's it's kind

199
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: of the old you know, they know what we know,

200
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: that we know that, they know that we know that

201
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: they know what we know, you know, and with that

202
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: they'll be uh, they'll be wrinkles, I'm sure. But it's

203
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: going to come down in the end to the players.

204
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: Just just to emphasize that, you know, all the scheme

205
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: stuff is important, but most important is really how the

206
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: game is played, you know, and who plays the best

207
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: football game out there in terms of making the plays

208
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: and and playing discipline football and playing physical football and

209
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: blocking and tackling all those things. The players. It's a

210
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: players game. The players will be determining the outcome of it.

211
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 15: Smith and is it and is he one of those

212
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 15: players that you'll have to battle if he The trainers

213
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 15: are saying, I don't know.

214
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 7: About this season.

215
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Uh, he's he's working hard to get healthy. He's not

216
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: ruled out by any stretch.

217
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: I can say that. And uh, and he's working toward

218
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: the game at this point.

219
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 7: D one week away, Thanks, give me one week away.

220
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 7: What do you look like? Fall understand?

221
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 13: Gee?

222
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, that's a great question. You kind of forget

223
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: to be thankful sometimes, But like I told the team,

224
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for the blessings of of family. First, I

225
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: told the guys in the meeting, you know, you go

226
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: through these these games and uh, you know, tough losses.

227
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: You know we don't play as well as as we're

228
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 2: capable of playing, and you know it it cuts you

229
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: right to the bone. You know we all feel that way.

230
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: And even in the winds, you know you still want

231
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: to try to get better. It's all you think about.

232
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 2: There's really not too many things I care about. You

233
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: don't care about my relationship with my creator, you know,

234
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: number one, and and my family. I really care about

235
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: my family and the football team, you know. And I

236
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: was joking with it.

237
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 8: You know.

238
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: It's like call your buddies up from college or something

239
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: and want to know how they're doing, and you know,

240
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 2: how's your family doing? You know. And the truth is,

241
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: during the season, it's like I might ask. I'm sorry, guys,

242
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: I might ask, but I really don't care. You know,

243
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: I really don't care. I can't think about that because

244
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: we have we have these these things that are so

245
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: important to us going on right now, and I'm grateful

246
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: to have those things in my life that are so meaningful. Faith, family,

247
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: and for us football. You know, that's kind of what

248
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: it is.

249
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 16: We also heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson.

250
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 7: So more one of the big stray lines.

251
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: Of course, it's going to be John Jim Harball coaching

252
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: against each other as as players. Does that even does

253
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: that even you guys even think about it? Does it

254
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: impact the game at all from a player level?

255
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 7: To be honest, I don't think about it. I don't.

256
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 7: I can't speak for everyone else, you know. I remember

257
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 7: watching them play, uh well, not them literally playing against

258
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 7: each other. But coaching against each other for the Super

259
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 7: Bowl game. I remember watching that. I thought that was dope,

260
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 7: but I don't think about it right now.

261
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 12: In fact, there are so many connections on that team

262
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 12: though that you to look about JK and Gush and

263
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 12: Bows all playing there, guys that have if you weren't back,

264
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 12: and you probably wanted to be here but weren't allowed,

265
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 12: you know, to get off to come back. Yeah, the

266
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 12: extra motivation they may have against you, you feel that,

267
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 12: how do you you know? I mean, you're you know,

268
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 12: obviously defending them, but just team wise, you sense what

269
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 12: that means.

270
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 7: Yeah? Absolutely, man, I know guy's gonna try to get

271
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 7: after it. Those guys going to get after it. But

272
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 7: I don't have to try to stop those guys, So

273
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about it. You know, I'm gonna be

274
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 7: worried about pump punts on the board, but it's gonna

275
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 7: be great to see those guys. I just don't want

276
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 7: to have a good game against.

277
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 6: Us Lamar know how superstitious you are with numbers.

278
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: Say, now, you've had tremendous success though on Onday night football.

279
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 15: Is there something that you embraced about that or do

280
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 15: you realize Are you aware of the success you've had.

281
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 7: Nah, I'm not aware at all.

282
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 16: You know.

283
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 7: I'm just playing football. It's something I love. Just trying

284
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 7: to win, that's all.

285
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 9: Do you think it's any help to them that obviously

286
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 9: Jiro was here until two years ago, Jesse Minter, their

287
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 9: defensive coordinator, was here until twenty twenty? Does that give

288
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 9: them any any leg up?

289
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: And I don't know. I can't call it. You know,

290
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 7: I'm not over there in those guys meeting rooms. I

291
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 7: don't really know what they're gonna bring to the table

292
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 7: for those guys. I don't know. I really don't know.

293
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 15: Lamar, slow start for the first two and a half

294
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 15: quarters against Cinc. And then I'd imagine you can play

295
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 15: as well offensively as you've like throughout the Pittsburgh game.

296
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 15: What do you think is holding you back now? Is

297
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 15: it a penalty issue more than anything? Or are there

298
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 15: certain you're seeing that have given you guys submissions?

299
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: Uh?

300
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 7: Just being consistent when we're doing things out there on

301
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 7: that field. We gotta be consistent and that's that's what

302
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 7: we chasing. And we're not doing a good job at

303
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 7: being consistent. You know. We here, we having our moments

304
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 7: where going to the game scoring first drive. Then it's

305
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 7: been a couple of weeks we haven't been going for

306
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 7: a drive, you know, and it's just been taking us

307
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 7: a little while to get our groove and we gotta

308
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 7: rik on that. That's that's the biggest thing for us

309
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 7: right now, just being consistent, like I said earlier, just

310
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 7: putting points on the board, cause that's our job.

311
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: This tortures defensive down fourteen points five points to gain,

312
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: that's the NFL.

313
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 4: When you look at that film, what makes this tortuous

314
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: defensive cult.

315
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 7: When they're just flying around creating chaos, getting turnovers, stuff

316
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 7: like that, and that that'll be a that's a huge, huge,

317
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 7: uh job for the defense to do, you know, for

318
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 7: those guys to keep the offense out the field, create turnovers.

319
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 7: That's possibly holding teams to fourteen points of lower.

320
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 11: You know.

321
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 7: That's all going back.

322
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 14: To the consistency brought up. How do you have to

323
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 14: go about either recapturing that or finding that just from

324
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 14: you know, a practice standpoint and and kind of getting

325
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 14: doctors out.

326
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 7: I guess it starts in practice or just being locked

327
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 7: in in practice at every little detail, you know, the

328
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 7: smallest details things from the game that we probably made

329
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 7: a mistake on cleaning that up. Small things like that,

330
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 7: and I feel like we'll we'll be on our way

331
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 7: to being consistent. Go back in the morning.

332
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 12: That football team.

333
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, you your cliches.

334
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 16: Everybody's watching and all.

335
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: Wives are years What what do you like about by ice?

336
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 9: Uh?

337
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 7: We the only show everyone's watching. So that's a That's

338
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 7: probably the biggest thing about it. And you just gotta

339
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 7: get after it. And tomorrow real Thanksgiving, the one week away.

340
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 7: One feet about us like foot four s, great health,

00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 7: thankful for life.

Speaker 13: Oh my goodness. How do you kind of look back

346
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 13: at your your time with Giro?

347
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 7: It was good. I mean we had a lot of success.

348
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: Uh no, won my first m v P g RO system.

349
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 7: We had a lot of great seasons. I believe it

350
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 7: was just short. It was just short. That's all all right,

351
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: Thank you, appreciate y'all.

352
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 16: Next to safety Kyle Hamilton, he ya, dude, So how's it.

353
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: Gonna feel the You know you've tackled other running backs before.

354
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: But when you see guys that we've actually played with,

355
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: like JK and Gus Helsach, it could be feel any

356
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: different when you're going against former guys.

357
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 13: Uh No, I don't. I don't think so.

358
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 6: I think before the game you maybe think about it

359
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: once or twice, but while your plan is just nameless,

360
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: faceless opponents. So you know, we're attacking this week like

361
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 6: we would any other week. You look at the film

362
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 6: that they played this year, just go back to the

363
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: practice film.

364
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 13: Had them as teammates.

365
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 6: No, I mean it's week twelve now, so we got

366
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 6: to get him out on tape that we can go off.

367
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 6: But it's always good. I'm sure after the game will

368
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 6: say what's up, and you know, it's always good to

369
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 6: see those guys kindly.

370
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, interesting storyline of this game is of

371
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: course with two brothers Coach Jallam, but like kind of

372
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: cool aspects and thin going into this. What are your

373
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on playing in a game where you have two brothers.

374
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've I've actually talked to coach ours about it

375
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: a little bit here and there, like having breakfast whatever,

376
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 6: And I think he's from his perspective he's done a

377
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 6: good job just kind of managing emotions and you know,

378
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: we still have a game to play. But at the

379
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 6: same time, I think everybody else just understands it's kind

380
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 6: of historic and it's cool to be part of history us.

381
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 6: Correct me if I'm wrong, But I don't think this

382
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 6: has happened before other than them playing each other the

383
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 6: previous time. So, uh, it's always cool to see, like

384
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 6: their family, what they've done and what they've done for

385
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 6: football and be a part of it. And by the

386
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 6: end of the day, we still got a job to

387
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 6: do to.

388
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 7: Him, though.

389
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 6: Do you think this could be some fragging rights with

390
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 6: this play? Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. I mean

391
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 6: I know that me and my brother would would be

392
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 6: having this bragging rights. And you know, I'm sure coach

393
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 6: Jim is ready to play us again after the last

394
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 6: time they played, and uh, you know, coach Harvest, being

395
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 6: the older brother, gotta put him in his place.

396
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 13: So it's pretty cool to be part of it in botsway.

397
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 9: Do you think it matters at all that their GM

398
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 9: came from their defensive coordinator game, premire their offensive coordinator

399
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 9: game from here?

400
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 7: Like, does that?

401
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 9: Do you do you think that makes any difference in

402
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 9: playing for the game or.

403
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think so.

404
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 6: I think although we haven't played each other this year,

405
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 6: obviously we're not in the same division or anything like that,

406
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 6: I think we're fairly familiar with each other and how

407
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 6: each other operates. And I think it would be a

408
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 6: good game. I think it's too like minded teams and

409
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 6: hard nos, hard working and people who just love good

410
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 6: results and love the process, and I think it's it's

411
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 6: gonna be a fun game.

412
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 13: Who do you think that last week?

413
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 11: Mar Darius Washington started last game, played every snap.

414
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 9: What did you see when playing beside him running the Comcast?

415
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 13: Yeah?

416
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 6: I think in my three years here, Ad has been

417
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 6: one of the more resilient people on the team. He's

418
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 6: had injuries, he's had times where he might have not

419
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 6: been in rotation, He's had times when he's put it

420
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 6: in the rotation, had another injury, and he's just been

421
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 6: super consistent ever since I've been here. And to see

422
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 6: him get the opportunity and excel with the opportunity, I

423
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 6: think he's not just back there. I think he's back

424
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 6: there making plays and doing his job at a high level.

425
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 6: So super happy for him and just thankful I get

426
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 6: to play beside somebody like that and have somebody who's

427
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 6: as much of a professional as he is to maybe

428
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: not be in the position that he wanted to be

429
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 6: in start of the season. You know, we're getting down

430
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 6: to the crunch time of the season and he's he's

431
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: a big part of our defense. So I'm just happy

432
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 6: for him, excited.

433
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 5: I really think you can build.

434
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 12: On last week, you know, keeping them out of the

435
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 12: end zone for the entire game than really kind of

436
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 12: one of your guys, certainly in the secondary best performances

437
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 12: of this season.

438
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's easier said than done, and you know,

439
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 6: it's something that we kind of got caught up saying

440
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 6: against Buffalo and then coming out the next week and

441
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: not doing. And so I included as well as everybody

442
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 6: else in the building, definitely doesn't want that result again.

443
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 6: So you know, we're aware of it now and know

444
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 6: that we had played a good game, but I think

445
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 6: we can get a lot better.

446
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 13: And I think that's kind of the mindset everybody on

447
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 13: defense as right now.

448
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 9: You've obviously played deep safety in the past, but this

449
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 9: past Sunday was the most you'd played in a.

450
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 16: Too high alignment in quite a while what's that adjustment

451
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 16: like for you?

452
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 5: I mean, ideally, do you like being closer to the

453
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage?

454
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 7: How did you think that went for you?

455
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 13: Yeah?

456
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 6: I think in college, even starting in high school, college,

457
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 6: and even in the league, I've always seen myself as

458
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 6: a safety, a versatile a versatile one. But at the

459
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 6: end of the day, I think I play safety. So

460
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 6: if I'm asked to go play safety, I feel like

461
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: that's not an issue for me to play safety if

462
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 6: I'm a safety, So I just want to do whatever

463
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 6: the defense and Zo needs for me on a week

464
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 6: to week basis. If that's going to play safety for

465
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 6: the whole game, then I'm one hundredcent final with doing

466
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 6: that and we'll do the best.

467
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 13: My abilities has been really down.

468
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 7: I have couldn't play.

469
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 14: But if you didn't, are you t people wearing a

470
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 14: green dot or that's something you worked.

471
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 13: On over from training camp?

472
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 7: If you wear a how much green.

473
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 13: Do have a practice field? And that's something I need

474
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 13: a lot of spirit.

475
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

476
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've had it in my helmet pretty much every

477
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 6: day of practice for the past twelve weeks. So I

478
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 6: remember if they never told me I didn't had the

479
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 6: dot or had the mic and my helmet, so like

480
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 6: they want to practice. I heard ze on my ear

481
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: and it was a surprise, but gotten used to it now.

482
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 6: And I remember rookie Mini camp I came out here

483
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 6: and I had a dot and that was definitely a

484
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 6: lot different than now. My head was spinning, so I

485
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 6: didn't really have a chance to get the guys calls.

486
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 6: Kind of feel bad for that, but I've grown since then.

487
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, if I'm asked to do so, then I will.

488
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 12: Now justin harbor and he wait, he throws the ball

489
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 12: miss in a way that almost nobody else does. Just

490
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 12: preparing for him, watching on tape and having faced him

491
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 12: two before, what do you what do you see and

492
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 12: getting ready for the scame detent.

493
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, like you said, he throws a pretty ball,

494
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 6: and it's a super accurate ball. It's you can throw

495
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 6: it deep and you can throw it short, accurately, carries

496
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 6: out his fakes very well, and I think one thing

497
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: that's underrated is his legs, especially last week just watching

498
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 6: the film, I think on second and long third down

499
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 6: he's able to pick up some first downs and kept

500
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 6: since now he's defense on the field, and that's something

501
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: we have to be very cognizant of just rush lanes

502
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 6: and keeping him in the pocket because obviously we're worried

503
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 6: about him throwing on the ball, but at the same time,

504
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 6: we can't let him get easy yards. When you watch

505
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 6: the Chargers film, does it remind you of the Ravens

506
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 6: offenses that you were coordinated and what you.

507
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 13: Face the practice to today? And then second, like, do

508
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 13: you expect Giro to switch things up to try to

509
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 13: give you some change ups for a lot?

510
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with both of those points. I think

511
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 6: it is somewhat similar. Obviously, don't have the same people

512
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 6: you don't have them are but that's nothing taken away

513
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 6: from Justin or anybody on that side the ball. You know,

514
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 6: you gotta adapt. I think g Ro has done a

515
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 6: good job of adapting his offense to his players and.

516
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 13: Not the other way around.

517
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 6: And you know, they're playing with the big fullbacks and

518
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 6: big tight ends and it's hard to as football. You like,

519
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 6: you know where the ball's going, you know what's gonna happen.

520
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 6: It is just can you stop it or not? And

521
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 6: I think there's some beauty in that. There's some ugliness

522
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 6: in that too, just the way the games played but

523
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 6: you know, we're all tough guys. But yeah, I think

524
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 6: there are some similarities there that we're cognizant of. But

525
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: you know, at the end of the day, I'm sure

526
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 6: he's gonna have some wrinkles to keep us on our toes.

527
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 15: Obviously, a couple of former Notre dan guys on that

528
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 15: on that buzzing sidelines, which I know you're closed with

529
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 15: cam Hart if he talked to with him at all

530
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 15: about you know, the kind of fun.

531
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 13: Being on the same guild together after playing after living

532
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 13: a spos he head did.

533
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I and camp came in class of nineteen

534
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 6: Notre Dame. Uh lived together for a year my junior

535
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 6: year and pretty much best friends and so cool to

536
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 6: see what he's done. And he was a fifth rounder

537
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: this past year, never complained, never did anything, put his

538
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 6: head down and went to work. And I think if

539
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: you guys have watched any cam Hart film, you know

540
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 6: that he's been playing really well this year and I'm

541
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 6: super happy for him, and I think he's just scratching

542
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 6: the surface.

543
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 13: You know. I'm sure just like Jim and John.

544
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: Have bragging rights, we're gonna have bragging rights too on this,

545
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 6: So that'd be an added w for us we get

546
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 6: the win.

547
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 13: Uh, yes, we're gonna do jersey swap.

548
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 6: I don't want to put it out there, but if

549
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 6: we did happen to lose, then I might have to

550
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 6: just wait on that because I don't want to be

551
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 6: out there swapping jerseys after we lose. But hopefully we

552
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 6: win in and I'll be happy to go lucky to

553
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: go swaping jersey there.

554
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 13: How Dave if White, he has some key plays last week,

555
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 13: what what have you?

556
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 8: What's it been like working with him? I should say?

557
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: And what do you think he's able to bring? Just

558
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: fastuff that you're speaking.

559
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was actually talking to Trey and I grew

560
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 6: up a big ALSU fan, So I remember growing up

561
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 6: watching him, Jamal Adams, all those guys play together. And

562
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 6: uh so I was a Trade White fan before Trade

563
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 6: even knew who I was or even though I existed.

564
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 6: But I mean, he's been a great pro in this

565
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 6: league for a while, and having somebody like that to

566
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 6: add to our already room that I think is deep

567
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: and just that added wisdom and I think he's super talented.

568
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 6: It's such a big win for our team to get

569
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 6: somebody like that. So Obviously he did a good job

570
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 6: last week. I'm sure he's gonna build on it this week.

571
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 6: Thank you, appreciate y'all.

572
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 13: Thank you.

573
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 16: In locker room today, we also heard from safety our

574
00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 16: Darius Washington.

575
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: I mean it meant a lot of auto hard work

576
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: that I put in, you know, the finally come to

577
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 4: play for sure.

578
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 11: Just how do you think you matched up well with

579
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 11: Kyle Hamilton on the other side, and just going against

580
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 11: the Steelers and what that meant to play against them.

581
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 13: Too, and that cer certain sting.

582
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: I mean it meant a lot, you know what I'm saying.

583
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: That's a rival team. You know, we stepped up, we

584
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 4: had made a huge step, but we lost the game

585
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know, so we're

586
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: trying to come out underside of that for sure.

587
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 11: Kyle Hamilton talks about your resiliency and that was something

588
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 11: that you appreciated, just knowing how hard it's been for

589
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 11: you to battle through injuries, to get back and then

590
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 11: to get bumped up and down the depth chart and

591
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 11: to finally get back into that starting role. Just what's

592
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 11: been that journey for you?

593
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 4: I mean, just having faith in myself, you know what

594
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying. Testing to God, having that faith, in that

595
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 4: confidence and within myself knowing that, like once I give

596
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 4: my opportunity that I was going to make some plays.

597
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: For sure, as a defensive role, how do you try

598
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: to build off you know, you can give up a

599
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: touchdown last game?

600
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 16: How do you try to build off of that?

601
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: I mean, just keep stacking, paying attention to the details

602
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: and the little things and things like that.

603
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 7: For sure.

604
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: Do you think that just as a secondary overall, that

605
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: game is kind of a big step in the right

606
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: direction to you that there are things that you need

607
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: to take from what you guys were able to do

608
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: last game.

609
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 4: Of course, I mean we gave them no touchdown, So

610
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: I definitely think it's a step in the right direction

611
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: for sure. You know, saying we got it is a

612
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: week by week. We gotta do that this weekend and

613
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 4: next week, and we got to that.

614
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 7: You know, just what was that process?

615
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 16: Like, I mean, you're an undrafted rookie.

616
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: You suffered to kind of basically season iving injuries to

617
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: battle through that on O.

618
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 16: The other side, how tough was that for us?

619
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: I mean, that process is tough, you know what I mean?

620
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 4: But like I said, I just kept that confidence within myself,

621
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Knowing that I was going

622
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: to be back and come back and be the same
