1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: So guys good another safety tan of a high employer,

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, one of the top tandons in the league.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: What do you see from them? Yeah, I mean they've

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: both been around for a long time, played in this

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: league a long time, and they've played together now for

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: you know a good amount of years. So um, they

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: have great continuity, um chemistry. They do a good job

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: of disguising things, um, you know, making it hard on offense,

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: making it hard on us at our position too. So UM,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna have to be ready to go

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: on all levels um, because they just do a lot

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: of different things that you know, present a lot of

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: um tough matchups. It was tucking the story, I think

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: something you're kind of such work frees down they got

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: a very similar and then you don't know what's gonna happen.

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: How does that affect what you need to do basis? Yeah,

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean they just disguise things, uh coverage wise really well.

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: And uh I mean they're very experienced, like I said,

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: so they just know how to um kind of mess

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: with us off offensively, UM to make it think it's

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: one thing and it's actually another. Um. Dis guy's blitzes

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: um all different kind of things that make it hard

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: on us to read it out pre snap, um, and

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: then you kind of have to make decisions sometimes post

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: snap on those things, because um, those guys are holding

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: it for a long time until you know, right when

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: the ball snap. So, um, they do a good job

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: of it and definitely gonna be a tough task for

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: us come running out harder what you guys have been

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: running the ball? Does it make a harder for teams

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: to do that though? Did they have to declare it

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: early to try to stop the run when they have vers?

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, even if they do that, we'll see I mean, obviously,

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: I think the game will declare itself in a way

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: earlier on in the game and we'll start to get

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of getting a rhythm, um with that kind of stuff.

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: But um, you know they're definitely gonna I mean, there

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: are a successful defense and they've gone against some teams

39
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: that are you know, run the ball really well, especially

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: like Tennessee. Um, and you know they've I don't you know,

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: they're a top ten defense in the NFL. So I

42
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna get away too much from

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: their stuff. Um, but we're gonna have to be ready

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: for it all I did. Did you spend any time

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: with Austin Knots and look at him study on other

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: tight ends around the league? I did spend a little

47
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: time with him. He's from Nashville, so he was like

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: right there, that was in his backwoods. Uh you know

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: the deck of his woods. Um, but yeah, I spent

50
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: a little time with him. Great, dude, you know it's

51
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: it's awesome to see his success this year. Um. You know,

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: he's a great, tremendous player. So talk about a running

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: game for you guys. With Damien and Ramandre sort of tandem,

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: how do you see as a teammate, I'm complimenting each

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: other and helping you guys, right, I mean they're tremendous. Uh.

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: You know, Madre has come on especially this past month

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: or so, you know, past few games. Um, Damian has

58
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: been very consistent. But they just balanced each other really well.

59
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean they're both big, they both have great vision cuts,

60
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean speed, Um, they have everything that you would want. Um.

61
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, they're catching the ball out of the backfield too.

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: So it's just it's fun to be able to block

63
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: for guys like that because they kind of make your

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: job a little bit easier play games at home obviously,

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, you get pump the puck to play games

66
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: at homes. Who bit, you get pump a little bit

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: off of to play games another environment where it's kind

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: of a hospital and you're on the road and everybody's

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: kind of booing you on the team charge. Oh yeah,

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's a there'll be a lot

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: of build up for this game. Um, and then you

72
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: know anytime, you know, we've played some we've played a

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: lot of road games. We've done well on the road,

74
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: but this will be a true test of uh, you know,

75
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: a road test to um. You know, going into a

76
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: division opponent, especially in Buffalo, you know, on Monday night football,

77
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: they want a game that's on. I mean, it'll it'll

78
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: be a tough task and you know we'll definitely be

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: up and ready to go. Damian and Remindre they're both

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: pretty physical runners. Does it give the offense an extra

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: little spark when you see them kind of run over

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: somebody down? Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's uh, we're all

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: trying to be physical, but when they're finishing runs like that,

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it just makes you want to block a

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: little bit extra do a little bit extra because you

86
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: know that, like those guys are finishing hard. Um, they're

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna make play. So if you just

88
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: hold your block maybe a little longer than you know,

89
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a big play can come. Butter howth big. It's a

90
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: game like this, especially getting the standings in the vision grund. Oh,

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: it's huge. I mean, you know it is what it

92
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: is with all the standings. I mean it's it's a

93
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: division opponent on the road Monday night football. Um. You

94
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: know we're both neck and neck right there in the standing.

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: So I mean it's definitely a defining game, um for

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: both teams, and um, you know we have to be

97
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: locked in and ready to go come one to night contry.

98
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: We being my cause likely it's what inspired you depicts

99
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: the international system, Um, it's a it's a cause that

100
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: um kind of touched my heart when I was in

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: high school and me and my wife has supported it

102
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: for a long time. I mean, they do great work

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: all over the world, um, to just stop human trafficking

104
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: all over the world. So it's a it's a really

105
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: cool cause that I've gotten involved with and me and

106
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: my wife are very passionate the ball. How's she doing

107
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: she's doing good. She's doing good. Yeah, it's kind of

108
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: getting the crunchtime. So baby will come a time. I

109
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: mean the dude dates to end of this month, but

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of in that window. Now, yeah, we're right there. Yeah,

111
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: it's it's coming soon. So we'll see, did you guys,

112
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: has there been any discussions about it the baby? We're

113
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna come and say, yeah, it's uh, yeah, that's tough.

114
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: That's tough conversation. But you know, this is my first man,

115
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: and if if it had to be, you know, a

116
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: game or seeing my my firstborn born, I mean, I'm

117
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna go seeing my child be born. So um, I'm

118
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing my best and we're gonna do

119
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: our best to not do you know, have that come across.

120
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, hopefully the biggest issue is when

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: the game starts and then if she goes in the

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: labor during the game, um, that's where the issue kind

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: of lies. So we're but we're we're ready, and we

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of kind of backup plans to be

125
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: ready to go. You're not you're not sure about it

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: ever comes here and there and it's always does a

127
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of all Yeah, you know, we have a lot

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: of family coming up, kind of this time of years

129
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: special with the holidays, so it's kind of nice. Um,

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: So we're you know, having a family around for her,

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: just the support, especially with you know, these next two

132
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: games being on the road. Um, you know, we'll have

133
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: family close by to make sure that she's a she's good. Yeah,

134
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: bye week would be that's our that's our like perfect

135
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, perfect day, but you know how it goes

136
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: it probably they probably won't work out that perfect every week. UM.

137
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to ask you is there anything about

138
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: his game that maybe we don't see that that you

139
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: see that that's helped him have some success here year?

140
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: Something nuance or subtlety to his game that that you've noticed. Um,

141
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever satisfied, um with how he is.

142
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that's one big thing, Like he continues to

143
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing really really well, and um, you

144
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: know he's he's continuing to go out there and play

145
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: really well, but he's not satisfied with that. Like he

146
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: continues to take a step each week, you know, turn

147
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: the page each week. Especially as a young guy. I

148
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: think especially with the long season, it can be hard,

149
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: um to see that. But he does a great job

150
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: of turning the page and you know, attacking each week

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: and you know expecting more out of himself even after

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, a good game. Thanks, thank you, all right, guys,
