Speaker 1: How much is a game like this and doing what
Speaker 1: you did give you confidence that you know what always forgotten? Well?
Speaker 1: You know, I think anytime when things don't look like
Speaker 1: they're going well, it's so easy to sit back and think, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta change something, or you know, let me try
Speaker 1: and switch over, do this, or do that. But you know,
Speaker 1: even if I'm hard on myself mentally, I'm staying in
Speaker 1: the same place. I know if I go back and
Speaker 1: continue to work on things that I need to work on,
Speaker 1: that things are going to eventually get better. So even
Speaker 1: when things aren't going that well, I saw that same mindset.
Speaker 1: I gotta go to work, I gotta continue to be consistent,
Speaker 1: and I gotta continue to get better. So then when
Speaker 1: games like this happened, it's not like, oh my, it's
Speaker 1: the greatest thing in the world. It's okay, I did
Speaker 1: my job. It's not like some a reckless thing happened.
Speaker 1: I did what I was supposed to do today. I
Speaker 1: went out, I played hard, I made play for my team.
Speaker 1: That's what they've needed for me this whole season. At
Speaker 1: the same time, I'm not going to go switch up anything.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to change anything. I'm gonna start sleeping
Speaker 1: in or something. We're going to continue do the same
Speaker 1: thing over and over again. It's trying to get better
Speaker 1: to day. Let feel gratifying to have that success after
Speaker 1: sticking with the play. Um. Like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie and say it doesn't feel good.
Speaker 1: At the same time, it feels better to get to win.
Speaker 1: You know, if you go out there and play well,
Speaker 1: but then your team doesn't come out victorious, then was
Speaker 1: it mean? It means nothing but to be able to
Speaker 1: go out there and get a win and be an
Speaker 1: intricate part of it. I mean, we played great across
Speaker 1: the board. Ryan DeMarco, Sam, I mean Zach making plays
Speaker 1: down the sideline and then to think we're able to
Speaker 1: do that without you know, our anchor and Jason Peters.
Speaker 1: That's a testament to the offensive line. To the defense
Speaker 1: played extremely well. I thought Matt Cassell came out and
Speaker 1: had his best game of the season, you know, and
Speaker 1: our defense was able to hold them to a field
Speaker 1: goal and that lay drive and give us a chance
Speaker 1: in overtime. So I think it was a complete team effort.
Speaker 1: Another big play I think was uh, you know e
Speaker 1: J Biggers too, stopping that touchdown, you know, just getting
Speaker 1: some more time all the clock, keeping them on the
Speaker 1: field and stead of him just running in the kick return. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, from special teams, offensive defense, it was
Speaker 1: a full team effort. So I can't sit and just
Speaker 1: thing was all me experience or anything like that. Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: something a couple of times in high school and a
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt uh, a couple of games where you know, I
Speaker 1: had like a winning catch. So like I said, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like my job. So I don't really like
Speaker 1: like it's a huge dual I'm supposed to do it.
Speaker 1: Is this the happiest I've been in terms of what
Speaker 1: you've done in the game. I mean, it's a game
Speaker 1: winning touchdown, Like it's really not gonna it's really not
Speaker 1: gonna sink in, Like I said, I was even when
Speaker 1: I was in college, people would always be like, hey,
Speaker 1: you broke like this big record, Like it didn't sink
Speaker 1: in until I left. So hopefully twenty years down the road,
Speaker 1: I look back like, Okay, that was a good catch,
Speaker 1: but right now I got flipped the page and go
Speaker 1: back to work, you know. Um, you know, after um,
Speaker 1: I kind of was able to throw Byron through. I mean,
Speaker 1: he played a great game against me. We were battling
Speaker 1: the entire time. He's a real aggressive guy and really athletic.
Speaker 1: Um so I knew, you know, late in the game,
Speaker 1: if I was gonna get open against him, it was
Speaker 1: gonna be more. I had to use my strength and
Speaker 1: a little bit of deception. So you know, teams have
Speaker 1: been covered me on those overs all like all year,
Speaker 1: and he did a great job with some of those
Speaker 1: overs too, So I just kind of gave him moved
Speaker 1: to the over and was able to throw him through
Speaker 1: and get outside. And then right when I caught it,
Speaker 1: I saw a daylight. I saw Huff actually look at
Speaker 1: me and be like, oh, let me block my guy.
Speaker 1: And then once he not once he pulled the corner out,
Speaker 1: I said, I knew we were Scott free. So I
Speaker 1: knew that chance to score after you cross the goal
Speaker 1: line you threw the football into the stands. Your emotions
Speaker 1: at that point, yeah, I was, I don't know. Right
Speaker 1: after I did it, I was wondering. I was like,
Speaker 1: I hope they don't find me. So that was a
Speaker 1: first thing. I'm an economics and major, so it happens.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking you know. But um, other than that,
Speaker 1: you know, when I got in, I heard Huff saying
Speaker 1: throw it, throw it, like just do it, just do it.
Speaker 1: So if I do get fined, I'm coming in for
Speaker 1: part of it is a game like this for sure. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it means a lot. But Sam's
Speaker 1: even killed, got two years, great pois. He never gets
Speaker 1: two up, never gets two down. And you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't really think it's as much of me just defending him.
Speaker 1: I feel like I was just telling the truth. I
Speaker 1: felt like Sam's been playing well for us all season,
Speaker 1: and we're able to come out here today and actually
Speaker 1: go out there and make the plays room we were
Speaker 1: supposed to make. I mean, you look at some of
Speaker 1: those catching runs by DeMarco, you look at the pass
Speaker 1: down the sideline where Urgins goes up, Like that's the
Speaker 1: things that we have to do as an offense because
Speaker 1: Sam's going to give us opportunities. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks when things aren't going well, they kind of
Speaker 1: clam up, they just start hitting shut downs, throwing things short.
Speaker 1: But Sam's still letting a rod and that's a testament
Speaker 1: to a quarterback who has great poison, great confidence and
Speaker 1: all the guys around him. Like I said, we can
Speaker 1: ask for a better guy back there behind center. Jordan,
Speaker 1: how important did you see this game? You know, considering
Speaker 1: NFC East and everything and just you know, where you
Speaker 1: guys were in the standings and all that. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was very important. I think, you know, basically this
Speaker 1: point in the season. I mean, I don't even think
Speaker 1: it's cliche say every single game is important, you know,
Speaker 1: to kind of set ourselves up to make a playoff
Speaker 1: run late. We got to do things every single day
Speaker 1: necessary to make that happen. You know. Last year was
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different story. We got hot early,
Speaker 1: but then we kind of fizzled out late. So now
Speaker 1: we can try and reverse that and finish strong. We
Speaker 1: gotta continue to get guys healthy. We just gotta continue
Speaker 1: to go out down to practice field and get better.
Speaker 1: I think coach Kelly said it best when we got in.
Speaker 1: He said, the reason why we were able to come
Speaker 1: out there and when that game was because of how
Speaker 1: we practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So if we don't
Speaker 1: have this same feeling next Sunday, we have to go
Speaker 1: back press the reset button do the same thing next week.
Speaker 1: Or how confident. Were you on the last drive of
Speaker 1: the game that you guys are going to be able
Speaker 1: to score there? Um, you know, extremely confident. I felt like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, once we I knew, like I said, well,
Speaker 1: when we get this, when this coin toss, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go in and score I mean our tempo. I felt like, when,
Speaker 1: like I've always said, once he get that first first down,
Speaker 1: you know it's over with. We're able to get our
Speaker 1: drives going and we're able to get moving and then, um,
Speaker 1: it kind of felt weird. It felt like I was
Speaker 1: back in the West Coast huddle system because then when
Speaker 1: they reviewed the call, we had a chance to get
Speaker 1: in the huddle before we called that last play. So
Speaker 1: you know, Sam was like, okay, we got this. I'm
Speaker 1: coming to you like so you know you got to
Speaker 1: make this play for me. So it kind of felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, oh, man, I've done this before. This is
Speaker 1: just college hoddle, and I've been going to make a play.
Speaker 1: He trusted me, He gave me a chance to catch
Speaker 1: a run and then you know it was game over.
Speaker 1: Sam actually predicted that or oh yeah, he knew. I
Speaker 1: felt like he was like, hey, get open, I'm coming
Speaker 1: to you, so sure
