1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Was it for you guys to to get this win? Yeah,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: I think it was huge. I think just um, you know,

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the ways the season is going, the way these last

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, ten eleven weeks have gone. Um, you know,

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: the team, the team was obviously needed to win just

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: for the morale and to kind of keep things going.

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: And it's just tough to uh to go over a week,

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: be close to to compete and practice hard and and uh,

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: you know, guys are giving great effort and doing a

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of good things. We're just you know, fallen a

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: little short. Um. But today, Um, I was really to

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: put it all together. Defense played great, offensively, you know,

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: ran the ball well, hitting up big big players in

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the passing game, did enough good things to get the wins. So, um,

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: there's probably the guys, um, you know, and they all,

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, I know, they all wanted to get me

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: a win. I wanted to get them a win as well.

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: When you walked off to the ovation, you know, just uh,

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: I was, don't you know, I don't I don't know

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: what the future is. I don't know what what you

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: know lives next week let alone, you know, you know,

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: down the road. But um, you know, I think it's

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: just uh obviously you know the support and the and

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: the fans and their ovation, and they're um, you know,

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: chanting my name from the you know, first snap to

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: the end. I appreciate that and and uh you know,

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: appreciate them always and just all my teammates coming up

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: to me. So, um, you know, it's a special, special day,

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: special win. And um, you know when I'll remember would

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: like to second. Yeah, I mean I think I think

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I did a good job blocking that out, you know,

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: just because you know, I don't I don't. I don't

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: know what's what's gonna happen going forward, and um you know,

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: whether you know I'm playing next week or not and

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: or you know in two weeks when we play again

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: at home. So I think my focus is just getting

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: this win. That's all I cared about, is just trying

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: to go out there and play well, get into a

39
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: rhythm and and you know, put the team in a

40
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: situation to uh, you know, to have a um, have

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: this feeling. You know, it's still the field or just winning, uh,

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: in the locker room with your teammates after you know,

43
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: hard to earn a game and to get the WS.

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: It's still you know, the best feeling involved. A bunch

45
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: of your teammates created a browsing speech before the game,

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: which might have concluded some kind of an exploitent to

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: send him out onto the field. Really said, it was

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: very emotional and helped them. What do you that's not

49
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: usually your style. That's been you know, I don't I

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: don't think a pregame speech has ever won a football

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: game before. So um, I still don't think it has.

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: But you know, just just uh just you know, said

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: a little something just to get them, get them ready,

54
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I appreciate, you know, appreciate you know,

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: the hard work they've been putting in all year offense, defense,

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: everybody they've been competing and they worked hard and you

57
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: see it in practice and you're just excited to uh,

58
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, to get give them this feeling afterwards. What

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: did you understand why in the field they didn't say might?

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I think they're little, know, a little overwhelmed. A lot

61
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: of cameras, a lot of people we kind of you know, uh,

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, I I wanted to get a little family

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: pick after after the game. Um, you know I got

64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: one last year. I have a new edition with the

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: with the little guys. So I thought it'd be we

66
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: could do it kind of quietly and and a little key.

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Obviously wasn't quite the case, but uh, you know, it's

68
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: still be a good one to have. Yeah, you know,

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I think it's it's uh, it's specially I think especially

70
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: that you know, my kids get to come and watch,

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: you know, watch some games. I don't remember my dad

72
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: playing at all. He retired I was four years old,

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: so um, my brothers have memories that they always kind

74
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: of talked about it, you know, in the locker room

75
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and around the games, and and I don't remember it.

76
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: So I try to bring bring my uh bring my

77
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: kids around as much as possible, bring into some games.

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: I know I got my youngest son won't I won't

79
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: remember any of it, but uh, you know, at least

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: have a picture to to show him one day, you like,

81
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: would you like to start next week, in the following

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: a week, Yeah, of course, you know, of course I'd

83
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: like to. Uh. I know, Daniels getting closer, getting getting

84
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: ready and getting better. Um, so you know, we'll see

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: what his status is and and uh, you know, I

86
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I get it either way, I know they want to,

88
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: and more reps and every of things. So, um, you know,

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: whatever I'm asked to do, I'll do it. Did you

90
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: feel honored with the fan who ran on the field

91
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: with your jersey on? Uh, well, I don't want to

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: support that and and uh encourage that for for anyone,

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I just I've I've felt on

94
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: it from all the fans today and just you know,

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: their support coming out there here early, they were cheering

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: from the get go and and a bunch of chance

97
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: and and I appreciate their their support these last sixteen years.

98
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: What were your emotions as you were leaving the field

99
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: for the curtain call, so to speak. You know, it's

100
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, um, yeah, I think just um, you know,

101
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I try not to get two emotional. Just We've still

102
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: got a couple of football games left, um, and you

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: know I think, uh, you know, I know I'll still

104
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: be back in the stadium. I don't know if I'll

105
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: play that day, but I know I'll get to run

106
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: out one more time at least, um, and then you know,

107
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: but I still still just excited, excited for the win

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: and honored. Um, you know, if it is the last

109
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: one playing here, where I'm starting and uh and getting

110
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: to win. You know, it's uh, you know, trying to

111
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: enjoy it and take it in for a moment, going

112
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: to take you out. I kind of heard him talking

113
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, I didn't you know, Uh,

114
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: I saw them kind of gathering some of the coaches

115
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: kind of gathering up and and discussing something. So not

116
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: my first rodeo, So I had a feeling something something

117
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: might be happening. Uh, just kind of depending on the

118
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: circumstances of the game. He was able to walk off

119
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the field his last game. Um, obviously special winning a

120
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Um, you want to have the opportunity. But

121
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: if this turns out to be the last game that

122
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: you would walk off the field winning, what does that

123
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: mean to you? You know? Again, you know, I don't

124
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the circumstances are. So it's uh,

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, We've still got some football games left, and

126
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: so I'll have time to reflect on on all of

127
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: that when when it's all done. Um, but it's still, um,

128
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: it's still a special window matter one you remember the

129
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: last spot h Uh. You know, I don't know. I

130
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: think probably just the fan, you know, the fans and

131
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: the chance and and the awkward field of standing there

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: on the sideline kind of a circle around me, everybody

133
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: looking at me and staring at me, and a camera

134
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: on me, and and and not feeling real comfortable in

135
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: that in that circumstance, but just just uh, you know,

136
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: walking you know, kind of getting taken out and and

137
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: there and the fourth and just having all the all

138
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: my teammates come up to me and say something a

139
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: little hugs, so you know, you appreciate all those guys

140
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: and and uh and everything they've done to you know,

141
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: get this win to them. There was a big difference

142
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: between the first half you got interceptions in the second

143
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: half of leving on a thirteam. Yeah, I mean I

144
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: think we just you know, kind of just settled down

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: and you know, had some had some good thoughts what

146
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: we wanted to get to. Um you know, I mean

147
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: it stayed out with some third downs, um, you know

148
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: I had to um uh, you know, just kind of

149
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: played a little smart football and had some clean throws

150
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: and guy's got a good job you offense line protected

151
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: well and and just made the plays over there. Important

152
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: was it elive for you guys who get qu involved

153
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: in the office in the running game. Yeah, I mean

154
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that's always the idea to get him

155
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: going and get him involved. And I think it just

156
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: puts you in when he's running well and he had

157
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: a you know, it's just a bunch of you know,

158
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: five six seven yard runs that puts you in good

159
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: down and distance where you know, staying out of third downs,

160
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: a lot of first down, second down, you know, back

161
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: the first down or third and short where we could

162
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: run it again, get the first and that sets up

163
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to play action and the and the bootlegs and nakeds

164
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and stuff. So, um, you know when he when he's

165
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: when he gets going and we're running and you know,
