1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Sold your Kobe. I guess how was it? How is it?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: And how did it feel to get that first touchown

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: and then have everybody kind of celebrate with you? I

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: mean it was a mix of emotions. I mean, first off,

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: the guy Troy Hill getting hurt that kind of damped

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: it a little bit. And I feel bad from some

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: praying for speed recovery. But just the fact that everybody's

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: celebrated with me and it finally happened, That's the moment

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: I probably hold on so forever. Next question, what does

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: it say about Mac that Max seemed like he was

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: more excited about making sure you got your first touchdown

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: ball than way more than he was his first certain

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: touchdown ball. It is a little weird, right I thought,

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: so I was like, man and I should probably did

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more to get his touchdown ball. And

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: now I think about it, how did it feel getting

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: the first touchout for yourself as opposed to throw the

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: touchdown passes? You know what's crazy? I honestly, the fact

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: that everybody's celebrated with me. What means more than touchdown?

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: You know? Just I feel like it says a lot

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: about your teammates, so they think of you, and just

22
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the fact that it was all there they I know,

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: they wait, knowing that they've been real patient and everybody

24
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: else outside my family. That was just more so for them.

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: But throwing touchdowns is definitely a little bit more fun.

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm Phil Bird over here. Um, A lot

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: of the new guys have been very positive. When you

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: guys were two and four, a lot of the new

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: friages that came in, they're talking and it's been remarkable

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: how positive they've been, like they really thought this was

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: going to happen. When it's been two years, I think

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: you guys have won four in a row going back

33
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: to the beginning of twenty nineteen. Can you tell me

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: about what has happened in your opinion over the last

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: four weeks and what has the new sort of energy.

36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: It's a it's a new team, obviously, what's happened this year?

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: In this past month, I think Mac felt pretty well.

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, we knew we always had talent in the room,

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: but in practice we weren't doing the best. We weren't

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the most consistent in practice, and this past month we

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: really focused on just being better practice players and a

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: better team. Monday through Friday or Monday through Saturday, and

43
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: they's shown on the field with Hunter Henry racking up

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. I know you got your today, but

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you know how difficult it can be to get one.

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: Are you sort of in awe of how well he separates,

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: how he finds space in that crowded red area. I

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: remember when I first seen Hunter running routes. I think

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: we were in California and we were just playing routes,

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: and I kind of knew he would be somebody specially.

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's just his ability to get open. I

52
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: need to take some pointers from him, you know, the

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: way he do it so consistently, and he has real

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: soft hands, real crispy route So I feel like this

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. Honestly, I think he got a

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: long way to go when it comes to just scoring

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone and making place for our team

58
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: right over here. Hydrokob So after the throwing the touchdown,

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: catching the touchdown on what's rolling your mind to be

60
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the next maybe like a rushing touchdown or something else. Oh,

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: I guess I haven't had a rushing one yet, so

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: they probably hopefully that's the next one. You know, I

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: would like to throw another one that was pretty special.

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: And if I mean, if I can score more in

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: the area, I'm gonna take him. I'm not gonna turn

66
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: them down. So it was definitely a special moment, and

67
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: I hope to get a couple more. Hichi Kobe. Earlier

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: this year, you mentioned that your dad had really wanted

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: you to get the touchdown. Have you heard from him

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: or did your family at the game today? Now, I

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: haven't looked at my phone yet. I'm waiting. That's a conversation.

72
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I got to have him personally, you know, because I

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be real excited and it's gonna be

74
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: a special moment right there when I go out there

75
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: and see him. So I can't wait to get out

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: there and talk to him. There was a lot of

77
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: big plays today and lost in a lot of the

78
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: big plays, when you look down, you saw Nikkil Harry

79
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: kind of doing all the blocking and all the dirty work.

80
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Just how impressive ast is blocking being to kind of

81
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: open up holes for you guys to keep running. I

82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: said this since day one. You know, Nikkil has come

83
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: in here and kind of just roll with the punches,

84
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: but continue to be who he is. You know, he

85
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: guy who gonna go out there and grit it out

86
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: and just make the tough plays that we need him

87
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to make, and I kind of admire it, so just

88
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: being able to see him doing this thing. It's little

89
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: things like that that make you want to be a

90
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: better player and just try to match his energy. I'm

91
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: problem
