1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Playmakers only playmakers own three. John Schneider called it a

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: reset this offseason. Some fans have called it a rebuild.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: What would you call it? It's semantics. I don't really care.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: It's another season of football, honestly, and you know, regardless

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: of how they want to characterize it, we got a

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of good talent on this team, and so I'm

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to putting all together and showcasing our talents

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: on Sundays. We have to finish the national perspective. Though

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: this team isn't a favorite to win a super Bowl anymore.

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: It might not even be the favorite to win the

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: division with the Rams down there. What's that like? What's new? Uh?

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: You know we've we've dealt with those doubts before. So um,

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything new, And I think it's

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: actually good for us because we have a lot of

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: new young, new guys, young guys, and um, hopefully they're

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: feeling that anxiousness to prove who they are, you know,

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: not only just again I always say this, not just

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: to prove people wrong, but more so to prove themselves

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: right and show who they are as men on the

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: football field. Okay, miss those opportunities yeah, this team was

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: a couple of missfield goals away from making the playoffs

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: last season. To be perfectly honest, if you made the

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, do you think we're talking about all

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: this change or do you think it's more of the same.

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to speculate, honestly, I will address the

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: notion that there was a few missfield goals. There's a

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of places that we missed last year offensively, defensively,

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that didn't go our way

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: that we you know, a lot of things we had

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: control over and that we didn't capitalize on. So I

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: don't want to put it off on just one position

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: or one player or one instance. I think there was

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things that we didn't do well as

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: a football team last year. You know, as one of

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the elder guys in the locker room, I take it

36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: upon or take a responsibility upon myself of making sure

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: that we're focused in those moments, that we're not having

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: those last lapses in judgment and not those crucial mistakes

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: and crucial moments, because as we know, you know, it

40
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: may seem like it comes down to those finite moments,

41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of finite moments that lead up

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: to that that could have changed the landscape of it anyways.

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: So we'll be focused on that this year for sure,

44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: speaking up some of those moments. There's been a re

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: emphasis on re establishing the running game this year. You're

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: a receiver, So what's your perspective on that. Yeah, you've

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: always heard me say if you established the run game,

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: you can control the clock. We've been known here to

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: have a stout defense, and then when we've had the

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: running game, we've been able to control the clock, keep

51
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the opposing offense off the field, keep the score low,

52
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: and really just dominate the game. And I think that's

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: winning football. That's the that's the winning formula. We demonstrated

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: that in achieving going to the playoffs or what six

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: consecutive years, going to two Super Bowls, winning one. So

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: that's the formula that I know that works. And I

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: know it's counter seems counterintuitive coming from a wide receiver,

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I want to

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: win championships. That's really all that That's that's why I play,

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: is to win
