1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: So I watching the tape. There was a couple of 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: plays where Trent Brown was pulling and out an open 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: space and I'm just wondering, from a defensive backs perspective, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: what is it like when you guys see a big 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: guard or tackle pulling like that in open space and 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: kind of bearing down. Oh, Trent knows, I tell him 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: all the time he pulled around that corner from me, 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna knock his head off. No, we always you know, 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: it's interesting too because the new rule came out this 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: year about cutting you know, outside of the tackle box, 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: how you can't do that. And you know for years, 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: like the crack toss play is a big deal in 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: the secondary because you know, you usually get the tight 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: end or the receivers that block down and you get 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: that tackle pull. But we used to know like if 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: we see it and we can go attack that tackle 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: and cut him before he turns the corner, you know, 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: we felt like we can turn the ball back in 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: create a pole. But now it's like if you can 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: get them before they turn the corner and make them miss, 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: get back to it, because like it's just a bad matchup. 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: I watched those plays all the time where Trent's pulling 23 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: and you're trying to avoid, but he gets a hand 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: or like two fingers on you and he pushes you 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: four yards outside to play. It's one of those plays that, um, 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: I would say, really comes down to watching film and 27 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: if you can recognize it and you can kind of 28 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: fly up there before you know, his shoulders turn and 29 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: he gets downhill, because I mean, call it Trent. Any 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: of these tackle, especially like even in Isaiah. You watch 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: how athletic these guys are. If they turn their shoulders, 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: it's tough. You just gotta turn it back in and 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: hope you guys are running. Thanks dev Our. Next question 34 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: is Chris Ryan, and I'm gonna come in and just 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: adjust the screen a little bit, but go ahead and 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: ask the question and Fred answer, Hey, dev how do 37 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: you do here? Same to you? Um, what did they 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: making the playoffs mean to you? This year? You're given 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: what happened last year, You've given how everything kind of 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: means a little bit more as you move through your 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: your career. What did that opish with me? I mean, 42 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: it's it's why we play, and you know, I think 43 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: obviously last year wasn't you know what we wanted? And Um, 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: it's the reality in this league. I think you know, 45 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: I think I might have said it last year, have 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: been spoiled of coming in the NFL and going to 47 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs every year? Um, as if you know, that's 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: easy to do. So, um, missing it last year and 49 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: having an opportunity to be back and playing in the playoffs, Um, 50 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: it's a great accomplishment. But I'll be lying if I said, 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, coming into this year, UM, that it wasn't 52 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, a goal and then expectation to be playing 53 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and um, not to say that it 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: was gonna be easy. You know, obviously you guys have 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: watched the season. Hasn't been easy at all. Um. But 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: I think for this team, it was something that we 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: set out to do and you know we expected to 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: do it with the guys we had here, the talent 59 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: we had, the work ethic we had. UM. So you know, 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: I've learned in this league. You know, you don't want 61 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: to be so happy about getting there that you go 62 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: home right away. So I think it's it's for us 63 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: this time of the year, you want to just be 64 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: playing your best football. So it was great, you know, 65 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: coming off Sunday, getting to win against Jacksonville. Now, I 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: think each week you prepare and you want to go 67 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: play well because now we're at the point where if 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: you don't prepare well that week and the game doesn't 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: go well, that's it. That's the end of your season. 70 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: So you want to make sure you're doing all that. 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I think for us, we got an 72 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: opportunity right now this week to start that mentality like 73 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: I said last week, and prepare that way, so you know, 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: when we get into the playoffs, we already know what 75 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: it feels like. And you know, obviously Miami's a tough team. 76 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: They beat us earlier this year. They're always hard to 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: play division opponent. So we're gonna get a good taste 78 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: to me of what that that playoff game is going 79 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: to feel like. The week after Bill mentioned that something 80 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: just kind of clicked last week for you guys in 81 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: practice and the kind of led up to, you know, 82 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the way you guys perform in all three phase of 83 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. Is there anything that was said, 84 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: Was there any moment that you kind of look back 85 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: on and say, this is kind of where the team 86 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: found itself so to speak, and got back to what 87 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: you guys needed to do well. I would say there 88 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: was a lot of things said. What I would say 89 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: the main thing was that, like this was it. You 90 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: lose two in a row, you make it three in 91 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: a row. You know, you might as well start cleaning 92 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: out your lockers. And I think that's what we all realize. 93 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: And I think as a competitor as a team, our 94 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: backs were against the wall and we responded, and I 95 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: think that's a good thing. But I think it has 96 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: to continue. Like it's not a one week thing. Um. 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: If we want to be a good football team down 98 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: the stretch, it has to be consistency. We have to 99 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: bring that every day. And you know, I think, like 100 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: I said, this will be a great opportunity to see 101 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: what that looks like, going against an opponent that knows 102 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: us well. And you know, for them, what a way 103 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: to end their season, you know, sweeping us. You know, 104 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: I think that would be great for them, and I 105 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: think obviously for us, you know, losing to a team 106 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: week one, you want to come back and get a 107 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: win and not leave what that feeling, you know, if 108 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: this team really controlled us. Thanks real quick, guys. Kyle 109 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: van Nooi is in Stephanie's room. Now there's no media 110 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: in that room, if somebody can jump over to help 111 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: in that. Regarding next question here we have a lazarre. Hey, Devin, 112 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: thanks for doing this. UM, I wanted to ask you. 113 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: Last week we spoke to Dante High Tower and he 114 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: just said that he felt like Buffalo kind of knew 115 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: what you guys were in and it had a good 116 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: feel for what you guys are running this week against 117 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Jacksonville teams, like you were disguising with the safety as 118 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot more at least to me. How important 119 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: is disguise to your group in the back end and 120 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: how does you and Kyle and Adrian kind of work 121 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: off of each other to be able to disguise those looks? Yeah, 122 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean these games different, Um, We're always trying to disguise, 123 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: We're always trying to do different things. And you know, 124 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: obviously when you go against a rookie quarterback, they've seen 125 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: less in this league and the different things that you do, 126 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: and you know, I will say even day and at 127 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: last week we ran a lot of different defenses. I 128 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: think you know, ultimately that came down to not playing 129 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: well like we you know, Steve hit hit a lot 130 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: of calls into play, but we had a lot of 131 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: plays out there. And I think that's what you know, 132 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: you can disguise and you can do all of that 133 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: and it helps. But at the end of the day, 134 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: like you gotta you gotta play well, guys, gotta win 135 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: one on one matchups within the down. Guys got to 136 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: execute and do those things. And you know, the disguise helps, 137 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: you know, I think make it tougher for the quarterback 138 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: some of the reads, you know, getting guys in to 139 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: run into you know, a good look for you defensively, 140 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: or you know, we show them a heavy run look 141 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: and you know, we get out of it and they 142 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: go to a pass and you know we got a 143 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: good But if we do that and then we don't 144 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: execute the coverage, it doesn't really matter. And I think 145 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: that's something um that I talked about after the Buffalo them, like, 146 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: our execution has to be at a high level at 147 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: this time of the year. You know, I think, you 148 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get guys what you're disguising. It could 149 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: get you a couple of plays in the game on 150 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: straight disguise what you need, especially this time of the year. 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: But I thought we played, you know, a lot better 152 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: this week compared to last week, and I think we 153 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: got to continue doing that with the safeties, with the front, 154 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: with those backers, you know, showing that they're come and 155 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: getting out like we can do a lot of different 156 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: things on the field, and I think, you know, like 157 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: how I said, it's one of the things we got 158 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: to stay on top of because when we're doing that well, 159 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: it makes our defense hard. God. Thank you, bro. Next 160 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: question at vatur fall about your own seagull Devin, building 161 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: a little bit off of what you're saying before. There's 162 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,559 Speaker 1: a lot of new guys on this team and guys 163 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: and roles that are maybe larger roles than they've been 164 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: in the past. To have them come together the way 165 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: they did, You've seen a lot of success in a 166 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: lot of different ways on this team. To have seen 167 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: this group come together and you know the way that 168 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: they did, is that particularly invigorating for you to or 169 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: energizing to watch a new group come together to become 170 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: part of this and that you've been part of setting 171 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: over a long period period of time. As far as 172 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs, Yeah, it is good. I mean, 173 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: I think you want to you want to be able 174 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: to respond as a team. And I think adversity is 175 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: gonna hit and it hit us a couple of different 176 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: times this season. And obviously every team's going through a 177 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: little bit of adversity when you just talk about the 178 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: COVID situation. But I think for us, you know, I 179 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: think as as a team, as individuals, as men. Um. 180 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: You know, Slate always hits on this like football is 181 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: life in a lot of senses, and um, I think 182 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: getting a group of men to come together with a 183 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: common goal, to go through the ups and the downs 184 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: of a season, to be here at the end of 185 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: the season, going into the last week, um, knowing we'll 186 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to compete in the playoffs, and knowing 187 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to get to eleven wins. Like, 188 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: all of that, to me is the journey. And this 189 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: team has been on an incredible journey and it's been 190 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And I think for us right now, 191 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: we just got to stay so locked in on what's 192 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: in front of us and take you know, February, March 193 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and April, those are the times to look back and 194 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: enjoy the journey before. Right now, you know, I think 195 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: we just need to stay locked in on, you know, 196 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and then whatever's next after that, be locked 197 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: in on that. And you know, I think that's when 198 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: you're able to look back and really enjoy it, when 199 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: you can do all those things that you set out 200 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: to do. Next question, Alan Siegel Fall by Matthew Fairburn, 201 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Death, Happy New Year to YouTube. Over 202 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: the years in your career, you've had some nut you perceive, 203 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: but the team has had some problems in Miami beyond 204 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: the fact that the Dolphins have good players and they're 205 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: a good team. Is there anything consistent that you guys 206 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: are just talked about about why that locale sometimes has 207 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: been such a difficult place to play. Well, I know 208 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: one thing, it's it's hard to go from this weather 209 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: to eighty degrees. It's always a little bit of a 210 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: shocking pre game. But I would say it's always about 211 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, even in nineteen when they came here and 212 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: you know, they had guys on our yard, they had 213 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: guys that really didn't play all year. They came and 214 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: competed hard and ended up beating us and really changed 215 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: our postseason by us losing that game. And I always say, 216 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: like when you play a divisional ponent at the end 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: of the year, whether they're in the playoffs not in 218 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: the playoffs, like it's a battle. And you know, I 219 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: would say it's always been tough when when Adam Gays 220 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: was there, I thought he always did a good job 221 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: game playing against us. And now it's like, you know, 222 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: it's almost like us playing us, you know, when we 223 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: played Miami because of I think the style, even though 224 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: the office and defense is all that is not exactly 225 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: the same. I just think the mentalities are very similar 226 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: because of flow when the guys they have down in Miami, 227 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: what they teaching and all of that, and you know, 228 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: I think it's just it's always a competitive game when 229 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: we play him down there, and you know it it 230 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: just is what it is. It I would say, it 231 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: doesn't always go as we play, and uh, you know, 232 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: we got to just find a way to win. And 233 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's gonna be tough like every 234 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: other year we've gone down there in December January. We'll 235 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: have to adjust and uh figure out, you know, how 236 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: it feels to be out there running in the sun 237 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: and all of that, and then we'll have to go 238 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: out there and just execute and try to win the game. 239 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Jef, no problems, Christ Matthew Fairburn, followed by Dan Roach. Hey, Devin, 240 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: M've been a captain here for a long time. I'm 241 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: wondering what what's different about being a captain at age 242 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: thirty four than when you were younger and in your 243 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: second year. That's a good question. Um, I would say 244 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things is experience. Um, you feel 245 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: like I feel like now at this age, I've I've 246 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: been a part of a lot of different seasons. Um. 247 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm able to connect with everybody in the 248 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: locker room. I'm able to connect with rookies and you 249 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: talk about a long season, I'm able to tell them 250 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: about my rookie year. You know, we went fourteen and two. 251 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: But for me individually, like the season, the season took 252 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: forever and how hard it was for me at the 253 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: end of this season fighting through it. So I think 254 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: you balance that experience, and you also balance when you're 255 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: accounting for a long time of making sure that you 256 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: know you're impacting the guys in the locker room in 257 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: different ways and you don't turn into just a voice 258 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: that guys here over and over again and start to 259 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: tune out so whether it's connecting with guys individually, building relationships, 260 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: building on how to get to guys, I would say 261 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: those are things that I've learned. And you know, I 262 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: think one of the best ways I've learned being a 263 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: leader is around other guys, you know, whether it's Slave 264 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: or High or David Andrews and you know Tom in 265 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: the past and Mayo and Vince learning from all of 266 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: those guys of how to be an effective leader in 267 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: all different ways. And you know, now I look around 268 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: the team and it's me and Slade as like the 269 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: two old guys. You just try to fill any role 270 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: that you see needs to be filled, whether it's speaking up, 271 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: whether it's really empowering somebody else to speak up and 272 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: use their voice, and try to build that leadership throughout 273 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: the team, because no team really wins with one or 274 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: two leaders, like you need leaders throughout the whole football team. 275 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: It's a it's a big team, and you know, I 276 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: think that's what's been fun seeing some of these younger 277 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: guys turn into great leaders, even if they're not captains, 278 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: guys that you know, I think even when you guys 279 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: watch practice, guy like Damian Harris, the energy he brings 280 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: when he wasn't there and then when he's out there. 281 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: M like that kind of leadership to see passed throughout 282 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: the team. You hope that you're having some type of 283 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: impact on those guys as they pressed for it in 284 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: their young careers. Thank you, Devin, no problem. And two 285 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: final questions, Dan Roach and George. Hey, Devin, how are 286 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: you doing good? Thank you just kind of follow that 287 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: up a little bit with your experience and with some 288 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: of the things you said. If we lose three in 289 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: a row, you might as well be cleaning out your lockers. 290 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Do you think at this point of the season, right now, 291 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: going into Miami and then the playoffs, that this group, 292 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: because there's so many new faces, what have you understands 293 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: what it takes to win as a team now at 294 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: this point of the season. Yeah, I think so. I 295 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: think I think somebody said it. You know, last week 296 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: it was like a wake up call. You know, we 297 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: were rolling to go down to Endy, a team that 298 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: was well prepared, great energy, playing at home, they come 299 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: out and really control the game from beginning, and you know, 300 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: you come back home where you know you just lose 301 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: on the road. You know, you feel like you should 302 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: get going, get ready. A chance to be on top 303 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: of the division would a win. And you know, Buffalo 304 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: comes in here and just outplays us really from beginning 305 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: to end. And you know, I think we walked away. 306 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: The crazy thing and both those games was it wasn't 307 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: our best, but we still gave ourselves a chance to win. 308 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: And it was a wake up call of you know, 309 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: we're at the point in the season where if it's 310 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: not your best, it's gonna be really hard to win. 311 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: And I think guys see that, they realize that. I 312 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: think you talk about those things, and you know, it's 313 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: easy to talk about what I think when you're in it. 314 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: I think guys now know what we need to do 315 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: as a team. And I would say, it's not like 316 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: we didn't know before, But these games change. It changes 317 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: when you're two and four and you're playing from the bottom. 318 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know how many people still had us 319 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: circle when you know we're two and four. Other than 320 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: the nice thing, you know, you look up, you're on 321 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: the top of the AFC, like you're gonna get everybody's 322 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: best shot. They're coming for you. They're coming, and they 323 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: want to move up, they want to get their spot 324 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and I think we're dealing with that. 325 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: We've learned how to deal with that, and you know, 326 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: now it's go time. Thank you problem. And last question, 327 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: George Black and Devin happened New Year's man as ribcalling 328 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: all the past seasons and what you guys have done 329 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: to clinch a playoff spot. Is there anything that this 330 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: team has that reminds you of teams in the past 331 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: have needed to do what it takes to clinch that 332 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: playoff spot and then also put together deep runs into 333 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: the postseason as well. Um, I don't know. Like I 334 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: said earlier, I think you know, I think I feel 335 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: like that when I'm able to look back, you know, 336 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. It's hard to do. Now, 337 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, all the good teams I 338 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: played on have responded, and you know that's what we 339 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: were able to do Sunday. We got to continue to 340 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: do that, you know. I think that's what it's about, 341 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, that response that you know when you get 342 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: in a tough game, you get in a game that 343 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: you know you know you have to win, and they 344 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: know you have to win, they feel like they have 345 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: to win, like those are the games you need to 346 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: play your best and that's the part of the season 347 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: that we're at. So I'm excited. You know, I think 348 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: we got a great group of guys. I think guys 349 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: are locked in and focus. We had a great week 350 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: or practice going into a week with Jacksonville where you 351 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: know they had a lot of guys up and down 352 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: on and off the roster. We just continue to study, 353 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: be prepared. And now you know, I have to go 354 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: down to Miami. Like I said, it's gonna be hot weather, 355 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. They're gonna be out there. They're 356 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: aggressive football team, they play hard. So I think this 357 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: is another good test because now we're coming in with 358 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the playoff spot already clinched and all of that stuff, 359 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna want to talk about everything other than the 360 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: Dolphins game, and it'll be about us improving, getting better, 361 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: playing another week of good football starting Wednesday all the 362 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: way throughout Sunday. Like that's the opportunity we're gonna have 363 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: this week, and that's up to us. Like I can't 364 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: say it enough, Like this Dolphins team is they're gonna 365 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: be ready to not just like beat us and play 366 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: like they're gonna be down there trying to kick our butt, 367 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: and that is what it is like. I think that's 368 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: their mentality, and I think it's gonna be a great 369 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: test for us. And I'm excited to be a leader 370 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: on this team and go into the last week of 371 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: the season with everything we have on the line and 372 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: real quick. They have a lot of skilled receivers, but 373 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, jail and Waddle just a rookie, but his 374 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: usage is insane. Um, have you seen a guy like him? 375 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: And also how do you try and limits slow down 376 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: to him when it comes to game that, Yeah, I 377 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: would say he's He's now in that category. He's not 378 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: a rookie anymore. He's played in a bunch of games 379 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: this year. He's out here breaking rookie receiving records with 380 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: catches and they're going to him. You turn on the 381 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: Saints game, I watched that game, or doubling him. He's 382 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: beating a double with the levers setting up his route inside, 383 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: breaking outside. Um, they're giving him the ball on whether 384 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: you call it a speed sweep or the little jet 385 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: passes behind a line of scrimmage's making guys miss m 386 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: He's just so versatile. I think what he can do 387 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: on and off the field. He's a guy that can 388 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: kill you horizontally running crossing routes and like I said, 389 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: running speed sweeps. But he's also a guy that can 390 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: go vertical, get down the field and stretch of defense 391 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: that way. So m he's obviously, you know, one or 392 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: two his favorite targets. We're gonna have to do a 393 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: good job on him. We have to be aware of 394 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: him every time we step on the field first down, 395 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: second down, third down. We gotta know when he's in 396 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: the game. If we don't slow him down, it's gonna 397 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: be tough to play well on defense. I think that's obvious. 398 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: So he'll be a tough challenge for us, and you know, 399 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: we gotta really kind of ready to go. Awesome. Thank you.
