1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Curious what it was like to be back there, return

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: to punch yesterday. Uh so, yeah, catching punts was more

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: like a nostalgic feeling for me. Um, just being able

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: to be back there, you know, kind of hadn't feeling

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: like I was back at SC or when I was returning,

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, my rookie year um at Tennessee. So it

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: was fun. It's one of those things where, um, I

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: always remember when like Sue Cravens did it and he

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: barely caught punts, but when he went back there and

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: catch with us, he felt like, you know, it was

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: like riding a bike second nature. So to finally get

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: a real game feel from like two years, it was

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: a nice feeling. What about this the notion that a

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: lot of people say, you know, your too value on

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: defense to put back there. What do you think about

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: the injury or as the ad injury is being in

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: that position. I appreciate the thought, but at the same time,

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, I just love playing a game and love

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: having fun. Is something I've always been doing, you know,

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: that's the case. I've been doing it probably since Pop

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Warner High School SC and Uh, I mean I see

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: play all three ways, so uh, did a little bit

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: into leaked. Um, so I feel like just being able

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: to go back there having fun and endowing what I'm doing,

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: but also just being smart at the same time. So

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: being a smart pot of the coaches give you any

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: like tips like be a little conservative here, like we

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: don't need to taking a big shot. No, no, they

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: just you know, they let me beat me. But at

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I understanding that, um, you know,

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: not being too extra for shorter terms of words, just

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: going out there doing my job, catching up punts and

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get what I can get when I

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: force anything. Really thanks broke Cover. Hey, how how big

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: was it to get some takeaways yesterday? One thing Xavier

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: always talks about is after games where you guys don't

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: get takeaways, you don't get takeaways. He gets upset about that. Um,

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: so how nice was it to get some takeaways in

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the first game you don't have him available? It was huge,

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: especially having those takeaways happening in the red zone at

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: the time that they did. Um really game change and

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: play so um, just to get turnofs in general, um

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: is a blessing. And trying to play complimentary football, you know,

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: help out the offense about special teams and vice versa.

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: You know, they're making plays and so we were just

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: trying to compliment them, you know. We um so we

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: get him in the red zone coming in clutch, that

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: was pretty huge. But what was Davier like on the

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: sideline yesterday? Uh? It looked like a mini coach who

50
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: knows out there, you know, Pep talking to everybody up um,

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: just being a positive word and giving affirmations and just

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: trying to give inside of what he sees, what he

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: knows off his film study and just trying to be

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: an extra for us out there. And you do you

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: feel like in this second half these last eight games

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: that you guys do need to get more takeaways defensively.

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: You've done a lot of good things in red zone,

58
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: but is that one of the emphasis that you guys

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: had coming out of the body. I think our offais

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: every week and try to get take away and try

61
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: to get our hands on the ball wherever it was,

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: forcing the fum ball or interception interception. So um yeah,

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean as a defense, that's one of the best

64
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: things that you can to do. I was gonna take

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: a one. Thank you, Paul, Hey Dory, how are you

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: doing good good? Um. Um, you're a guy who never

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: comes off the field. Um, what what kind of mindset

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: is that? Um, you know you're used to doing that,

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: but there's a certain fitness that is required of you know,

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: running with these guys play after play after play and

71
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: ever getting a break. Um, could you use a break?

72
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Or do you like I'm in sixty seventy snaps whatever

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: it is? I mean, you know, don't worry about me,

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: um man, I'm just out there playing, you know, having fun.

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of like being a practice. You just go

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: out there and get all the reps that you can get. Um,

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: exerting yourself really, you know, have practice when the game came.

78
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: You try to make the practice harder and strain yourself

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot harder than maybe what may happen in the game.

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: So for us, when we're out there is no ever

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: thought of needing to break, need to blow whatever. Maybe, um,

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: just go out there and keep competing for how long

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: a text is it? Do you feel that you know

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: the Monday through for are they stuff prepares you for

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Sunday like you said, and or is there a time

86
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: where you're gonna need to maybe take a step back

87
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: during the week so you can play every snap on Sunday.

88
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I think for us just take care of our bodies

89
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: what we do, um, how dre and getting to sleep,

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: eating right um. And then you know, getting the lift

91
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: in you know, right after the game, getting that that soreness,

92
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: that tightness, whatever it is, and you know your body

93
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: to get you back going, get you back moving and

94
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: feeling good. So I think you know, the coaching staff,

95
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: the strength staff, training is and nutrition is do a

96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: great job of helping us get throughout the week. Is

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that something you knew coming into the league because a

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of times rookies are you know, twenty years old.

99
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: They feel like they can, you know, run around all

100
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: day and maybe they don't do that. Did you do

101
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: that then? And you have to learn that? Um? And

102
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: is that maybe something you can part just like a

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: guy like Dane who played every snap yesterday, maybe he

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: doesn't know that yet. UM. I mean it was it

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: was told to me. But you know when you're young,

106
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: you know your body feels young, you know at the

107
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: end of the day. Um. So something that you GRIBs,

108
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: you learned or you have. Everybody has their own routine

109
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and red when the things that they do um, you

110
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: know as rookies, you know, coming in because they do

111
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: a great job, you know, at the college level to

112
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: help prepare UM. So I think it's some things that

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: you learn you just add from different vets and see

114
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: what they do, see what they use, and try to

115
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: implement into your your routine. Thank you, we'll go back

116
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: to dance again. You're trying to ask. You mentioned what

117
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: they was like on the sideline. What was it like

118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: not having him on the field? Um, kind of like

119
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: he was still there, you know in a sense um

120
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: having them coming to the sideline, being a to chop

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: it up with him, you know, sending him with his

122
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: little hair set and you know, pumped up. UM. So

123
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of like he was still out there with

124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: us at the end of the day. At the same time,

125
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: we're still trying to you know, we we have this

126
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: thing where we try to hold each other accountable and

127
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: play for one another and not disappoint our brothers, you know,

128
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: even though he wasn't out there, not trying to disappoint him,

129
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: you know on the siline. But how was it different

130
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: just like played like when the ball snapped, like not

131
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: having him having the rookie back there and Julian played

132
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: deep more like the things change for you at all? Uh.

133
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: It starts off the week communication. I mean, I feel

134
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: like we're doing a great job throughout the week communicating

135
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: seeing the things that we look and how are we

136
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna play certain things, you know, throughout the game. Um

137
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: So having that that same accord and being on the

138
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: same page, you know, going throughout the week, you know,

139
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: helps when we get the game then
