1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Did that game your production? Finally getting thirty points? Does

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: that make you feel like you're back? Know? What it

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: made me feel like is I like the direction that

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: this team is going. I like the way that we

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: came out there and fought against every bit of adversity.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, um, and I've never felt like so

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: close to to where all of our minds it is

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: and where we're heading and where we want to go.

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Um And I think that that was a building point.

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Like I remember being in the huddle multiple times being like,

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: this is the game that's going to be determining for

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: our season of how we're going to be. What's our character,

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: What's what's this team's identity? And that fight, that grit, determination,

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: all that, that's that's who this team is, um, And

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: that's what we're plan to bring every single Thursday, Monday

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: night Sunday game from from here on now. And in

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: that regarded excited to be playing again on Thursday, I

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: mean to kind of build up that actually no one

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: likes to turn around, but to be able to do

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: this is probably be the first time where I would ever,

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, not be upset about the turnaround. Um, you know,

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: and off a tough loss like that, it's like you

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: just want to get back out there. You know, when

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: you lose a game like that, it's like you didn't

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: you wish you had five more minutes to play. Um,

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: and you gotta wait a whole week usually, but you know,

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: we get a quick turn around this week. We get

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: to go out on Thursday. Uh and I know we're

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: all excited about that opportunity, but we've got to come

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: out and make the most of it. What are these

31
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: last two days been like for me? You lovet that

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: tough game. Your your name's obviously out there. People are

33
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: talking a lot, not a different thing, just shadow, just shadow,

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: same approach every single day to get up be the

35
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: best that I could be. So, uh, we're we're moving forward. Um.

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, my my teammates, my brothers, there's nothing that's

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: gonna come in between us. Um, we've had these conversations.

38
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Uh and and like I said, we're all moving forward.

39
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: We're on the Philly. You did feel the need to

40
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: address the team before the game. Does this stem from

41
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: anything that you want them to make sure that you're

42
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: um aware of or and being on the same cage

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: because you you reward that from it was you know,

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: you felt the need to address your team before for

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: the game, based partly on that interview on ESPN. And

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: do you think it's straight now? Do you think that

47
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: the team understands where you're coming from. Yeah, I think

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: we all understand each other. Like I said, there's there's

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: nothing that is going to come in between my brother's,

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: my teammates. This is something that, um, it's gonna put

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: us closer. And I felt very close as a team

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: this Sunday. And that's the way that we have to play. Um,

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: that's the way that we're going to fight. And nobody

54
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: in here likes to lose. We're all tired of losing.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: We want to change that, uh that that culture atmosphere,

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: whatever it is, UM, because this is a place that

57
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: has a lot of pride and we want to be

58
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: able to to you know, be proud of what we

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: display and do all those things. So, um, it was

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: a big week for us. We took a big step

61
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: for what we lost on a sixty three yard field goal.

62
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: If I have to lose on a sixty three yard

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: field goal, I mean so be it, Like that's impressive

64
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: by that kicker to be able to do that with

65
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: the game on the line and hit it. So UM,

66
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: we're taking steps in the right direction after one week

67
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: of the offense doing what it accomplished last week, Go Dell,

68
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: does that break the two zone? And whatever else defenses

69
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: have been trying to do to you guys with the show,

70
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: Can can that one game break it? That one game

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: is what you build off of. I don't know if

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: it necessarily breaks it, um, Meaning we have to come

73
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: out and bring that each and every time. And once

74
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: we start bringing that each and every time, and then

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: I could answer that question if it broke it or not. UM.

76
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, it was kind of, you know, one game thing,

77
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: and now we want to build off that and be

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: able to do it again and again and again. UM.

79
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Make plays on special teams, make plays on offense, defense. UM.

80
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: She be as a complete team. That's really the goal

81
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. As much as you

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: give everything on game days. What have you learned about

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Sa Kuan in that regard as a competitor who wants

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: to win it all costs. UM, Like you said, he

85
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: wants to win. UM. Not not a lot of us

86
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: came from you know, losing like a college where you

87
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, like where I came from. I remember losing

88
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: the one game to Florida or losing the one game

89
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: in Alabama, like it's the end of our season. You know,

90
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: it's everything. It's about being undefeated, it's about in the

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: NFL is different, it's different. You know, there's seating, there's

92
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: stuff in college where it's more important. But the mentality

93
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: was to never lose. The mentality was losing that one game,

94
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: it's over. So there was importance. There was an urge

95
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: to to win each and every Saturday one in college.

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: But um, and that's kind of the mentality he has.

97
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: You know, he came from place where they I think

98
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: they had only lost one I don't know, maybe ten

99
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: total games and is I don't know what his record was.

100
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: But the mentality is the way that's playing the simple

101
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: you guys had the last success lest you're really pushing

102
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the face against Hilly. Why do you think your offensive

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: functions wealth when you guys go up town. I think

104
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive function well when they go up

105
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Temple because it makes it hard for defenses, but they're

106
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: getting certain packages to to you know, be able to

107
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: game play, and it's just kind of like you gotta

108
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: go on the fly, and you know, we have had

109
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: some success with that, and I'm sure it'll be something

110
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: we continue to use. But right now we're really we're

111
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: building off of what we what we brought last Sunday,

112
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm excited about the opportunity we have Thursday night. UM,

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: couldn't come fess enough. You know Mills pretty well. It's

114
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: pretty well known he had struggled with like the double

115
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: moves and stuff. How do you sort of approach that

116
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: when you go into the game against a guy like that,

117
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: same approach you would against anybody else, you know, Like

118
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: I said, I was at college with Jay and Jayalen

119
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: and we talked every day on Okay, what do you

120
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: how do you feel? You know, we we got each

121
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: other better, that's what we did. So, Um, this is

122
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: a familiar opponent. We go against each other each and

123
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: every year. Um. But but the game plan is always

124
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: going to be the same. Um. You know, it's hard

125
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: playing off coverage and going against very good receivers and

126
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: having to respect just somebody running the slant and then

127
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: to run a double move like dB is a very

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: hard position. So I'm sure he's catching heat. I know

129
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of ability. Like I said, I

130
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: played against him in college. Um, but we're looking forward

131
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: the opportunities we had because because because no one has

132
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: run away in the standings, that you can actually look

133
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: at the standings and don't see the teams out of you.

134
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: But how much more urgency does it place on a

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: game like this? I think you could take away everything

136
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that's happening the season. I think the urgency is um,

137
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Right now. We know we

138
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: need to win regardless of our situation. I think invintality

139
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: is to win each and every game. And now that

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: there is, there's a big opportunity ahead of us, UH

141
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to be able to kind of take control of our season,

142
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: um and build from this even after the bad, the

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: bad that we've had already, we can overcome it all

144
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: um with starting with this game, not just one game,

145
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: but starting with this game and going from their own
