I think it's gonna be a good atmosphere. 52 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: You know, the guys will be ready, so it's gonna 53 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 2: be a game. 54 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: Do you think most people know that you've let that 55 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: team in rushing one year? Probably? Yeah. 56 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: I mean I have people still commit these days, you know, 57 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: talking about they have me on the fantasy team and 58 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: stuff like that, so which you know, I don't care about, 59 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: but no, man, like I said, it's it's a blessing 60 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: to be able to go back and you know, play 61 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: at the place where I started and it'll be a 62 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: good night. 63 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: So you're in that offense for a few years. What 64 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: makes it so effective? I think the players and then 65 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: the coaching. 66 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: You know, Kyle Shanahan, he does a good job of 67 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: you know, with a lot of emotions and stuff. A 68 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: lot of them may look different, but a lot is 69 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: actually the same stuff. And I think he's able to 70 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: move guys around, and guy, it's so versatilehen you have 71 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: guys like Debo and you Check that could play multiple positions. 72 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: It makes it hard for defenses and stuff. 73 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: What's it like for you playing with under day Ball 74 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: having obviously been with him in Buffalo as well, It's awesome, 75 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? David is a players coach. 76 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: I think there's a reason why you see guys fight 77 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: to the end. You know, It's been like that since 78 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: he's been here. It's been like that in Buffalo. We 79 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: believe in him, you know what I mean, He's very real, 80 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: very raw, and I think that's what a lot of 81 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: players need, you know, I mean they got to believe 82 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: in the coach if you want to win, and everyone 83 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: here is bought in.

Of course? 88 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: I mean, if we got a shot, there's time on o'clock. 89 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: With this team, we're gonna we're gonna do it. Then 90 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: we gotta do to win and it's been proven last year, 91 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: and then obviously you know on Sunday, so uh, anytime 92 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: we got a shot, we're going to keep fighting. 93 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: You mentioned as far as on the game time decision, 94 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: that's how you're kind of treating it.

But hasn't changed anything. I 101 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: don't think anyone's in here panicking, you know what I mean. 102 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: It's a long season.

He's been a 109 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: lot of treatment and getting ready for the game. But 110 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: if he can be out there, is gonna want play 111 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: for the team. 112 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: So he'll be out there.

I mean, if I didn't 130 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: get that, I think I would be done playing at 131 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: this time. 132 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 133 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: Like football is one of them games. Man, I said, 134 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: I'm blessed every day be able to play this game. 135 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 2: I'm blessed to be able to play this long in 136 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: the NFL. And of course I'm my butfiers for the 137 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: games where I first, you know, play that. But nothing's 138 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: gonna change. My team's gonna be the same. It's gonna 139 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: be the same. I've been here before, so it's gonna 140 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: be exciting. 141 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: I guess what have you seen from Eric? Eric? 142 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 143 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: Oh man, he's definitely reliable, dependable. 144 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: They got him back there returning the punts for a 145 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: reason because you need a guy back there that you 146 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: can trust. So I feel like the coaches all trust him, 147 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: and he gets in the game's gonna do his thing. 148 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: So he's a great player, and I think I'll play 149 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: a long time in this league. 150 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: How important was blocking? Team blocking? 151 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: Like for our offense, blocking extremely important. I mean, they 152 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: got a good defensive line, UH backers, safeties, so I 153 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: think everyone's got to be locked in on point. You know, 154 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: this defense doesn't make a lot of mistakes, so we 155 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: gotta just be on point the whole game. 156 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I think we'll be fine.
