1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: All right, joining us here in the ACE Ticket hotline

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: cornerback Eric Row. Eric, congratulations on the win tonight, and

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: you were off to a super Bowl fifty two in

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: Minnesota against either the Minnesota Vikings or the Philadelphia Eagles.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: How are you feeling after tonight's game or today's game? Oh?

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Maam feeling the static. Not you know, not just a

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: fact you know we're going to Super Bowl, but just

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the way, you know, we kind of fought stuff together

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: as a team and kind of card all the way

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: back in there and took the lead. So I mean,

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just static. I know it sounds like

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: a cliche, especially coming after a last year's Super Bowl

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: and that whole comeback, but you know, you guys were

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: down fourteen three, you're down twenty to ten, down twenty

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: to ten and the fourth quarter. Because of what you

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: guys have been through, is there always that belief that

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it's not over, We are going to

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: come back. There's still enough time. H's not. It's not

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the fact that that we that we sit here and

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: think like you know, I mean, obviously we don't want

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to come have a play a combat game, but when

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: we're down. I mean, we don't know, and no one

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: gives up. I mean, when we're down, we fight even harder.

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean something obviously all teams don't have.

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: I've seen teams, you know, when you when you're down,

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: they kind of shut it down. But you know, kind

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: of for us, when we're down, we fight even harder

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: to come back. So, I mean, obviously we don't want

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: to be in that situation. You know, that's just kind

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: of our mindset on the team. Well, how do you

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: fight your way out of that? Though? Eric, you know,

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: down the stretch the defense obviously you can't make a

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: comeback if the defense can't get stops um and they

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: were moving the ball pretty effectively most of the day,

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: what changes for you guys, You know when you get

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a desperation factor in the fourth quarter. Uh,

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't nothing schematically, you know, or something

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: we haven't seen. I mean, besides the couple Corey Grant plays,

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: But it was just we were playing too soft the

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: first half. I mean, we weren't playing our regular game.

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: So we just came in a halftime. We all knew

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: that we need to play you know how we always

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: thought we played aggressive and physical, and so we kind

44
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of flipped that switch at halftime, and you know, it

45
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of helped us, you know, kind of good get

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: back in the game. All right, Eric, real talk. All Right,

47
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes us jerks here and media maybe make too much

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: about the ineptitude of Blake Bortles as the quarterback of

49
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. But we're even you and your compadres

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: and the secondary, like, holy crap, Blake Portles was playing

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: this well today? No, okay, no, yeah, we definitely didn't

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: definitely come in the game under estimating him. I mean,

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, everybody has a couple offing, but even during

54
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: the season, I mean he had a couple He had

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: like three hundred yards three touchdown games, So it's not

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: like he wasn't capable. He's not capable of throwing the ball.

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: So and when we saw in the first half he

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: was picking us apart. We were did a decent job

59
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: stopper in the round, but he was taking us apart. So, yeah,

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: there was no underestimation on Blake Bortles. I don't know

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: how much you guys care about this type of thing,

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: but early in the year, there were some criticisms from

63
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the outside for stuff on Gilmore your your new free

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: agent cornerback and how he was playing, and then over

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks he seems like he has

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: really you know, fallen in line as a dominant cover guy.

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: And then he ends the game with a deep ball

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: and knocks it away. And we've seen other postseason games

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: where big players go the other way. How do you

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: feel for a guy like that when he sort of

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: comes back from the criticism and ends out ends up

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: getting sort of the last laugh here. Uh. You know,

73
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, everybody gets criticized him because I mean it's

74
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: like the whole world is watching your game, especially at corner.

75
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy to stand out. So it wasn't

76
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: something that he wasn't used to, you know, getting criticized

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: because everybody gets criticized. You know. It was just the

78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: only thing he can do is just keep working. I

79
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: mean he knew it. Just keep working. You know, things

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: will come together and you kind of down the season.

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he was playing a game that you know,

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: people playing five years at Buffalo. So once he got

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: into his own, i mean, he was you know, he

84
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: was a very important piece to all right, you could

85
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: tell us now, because it's really not that important and

86
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: no one's really gonna remember anyway. But it's seven seven Philadelphia, Minnesota, Eric,

87
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: So you can tell us who would you rather see

88
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: in two weeks in Minnesota The Vikings you want to

89
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings in their home stadium, or the Eagles,

90
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: go I don't care, your former team, or you gotta

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: play a road game in the Super Bowl. Those are

92
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: your two options. I know, I mean, shoot, I mean

93
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: obviously it's like I know they yeah, I mean they're

94
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: both really good teams. I mean I've been watching them

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: on TV, Eagles and Vikings, So they don't even matter

96
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: who we play. I mean, everybody's you know, obviously it's

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the best team that you know we're gonna

98
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: see this year. So I wasn't giving answer for I

99
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: really don't even I can't even pig It don't even

100
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,640
