1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: I wonder what's it like for you this year to

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: see uh, you know, opponents put their number one corner

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: on you more and you really you know, follow you

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: over the field. Actually had that with Darius Slain both matchups.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Just what what that challenge is like for you? Um,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: I mean it's been I think it's fun, you know,

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: I think it I think it adds a little um. Um,

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: just something that I kind of see as an extra

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: challenge and um, you know, like I said, something that

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: just kind of adds jumping to the game and what

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: I want. What's it due to your confidence when you're

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: able to you know, make some plays like you're do

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the guy like that. Um, I mean

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: it's definitely beneficial. I mean he's a really good corner,

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: been a good corner's league for a long time. So, um,

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's definitely a good confidence boost. I was

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: able to go out there perform fairly well. Thanks Tom

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: Rock Dary. Someone to ask you about, uh, Tavia McKinney,

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: what you saw from him in training camp and probably

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: in college too. Um. Yeah, I mean he's a he's

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: a range guy. I think he'll I think whenever he's

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he's supposed to come back soon. Actually, so whenever, Um,

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: that exactly is. You know, I'm sure they'll find somebody

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: to get him out there on the field. I'm looking

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: forward to seeing him play. What kind of how hard

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: is does he make it for players like yourself? You

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: know and obviously opposing players to run, to run routes

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: and to get open the xavier. Um, I mean he

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: plays safety, so doesn't necessarily have as as much impact.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: I guess as far as my routes are concerned. But um,

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I mean went to Alabama,

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: so you know, you know he can run and hit

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and um, obviously seems like a bright young man. So, UM,

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, look forward seeing him. But you've pretty much

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: had ten games under your new coach. I mean, what

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: are your just general impressions that Joe Judge. Um he's

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: a pretty structured guy. Um. He's um a good leader,

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: has high football intelligence. UM, a good teacher. He's taught

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of fundamentals as far as playing various positions,

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: as well as just the ins and outs of the

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: game of football. Is it easier listening to a younger

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: guy as opposed to an older guy? Um, I wouldn't

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: say that necessarily. I think in any case, whether you're

44
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: old or young, in anything in life, I think as

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: long as you're um, coherent and what you're saying, then, um,

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, normally it leads to for people being able

47
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to be believing and to trust what you're saying. If

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: you're you know, accurate with your information, Like I said,

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: coherent what you're trying to get across. Thank you, Ryan

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: dun Labe, Hey, Darius, can you hear me? Yep? Uh

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: tell me? So it's a bye week, is a chance

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: to look a little bit big picture. Uh, tell me

53
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: what it's done to the locker room now that you

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: guys are alive in a playoff race. I mean last

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: year obviously at this time the record wasn't that different,

56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a playoff race. Now, all of a

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: sudden it is. You beat the team that's in first place,

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: the Eagles. What's that done for you know? I want

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: to say in the locker room, but I know you're

60
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: not in the locker room, So what's that done for

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the group chats? I guess y Um, it's definitely been

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air, breath of life. If you

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: will Um. You know, obviously, having a chance to be

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: able to have some control over ound destiny is always

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: a position you want to be in. So um, just

66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to finishing out this season strong. What do

67
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: you think of the way Daniel has played the last

68
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks? Uh, Obviously, maybe the stats, the huge

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: chats aren't there like he had as a rookie with

70
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: a couple of four or five touchdown games. But what

71
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: do you think of the way he's kind of answered

72
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: some of his critics these last couple of weeks. I

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: think he's been really efficient. He's done a really good

74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: job of taking care of the football. I believe he

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: was Sunday and um probably should have been a little

76
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: bit better than that if if uh we had made

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: a couple more plays on the back end receiving. So Um,

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's done a good job of

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: being efficient. Like I said, Um, I don't think he

80
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: has any turnovers in the past two weeks, I believe

81
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: so Um, you know, he's just doing a really good

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: job right now, and I know he will continue to.

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: You guys are obviously, you know, one game back or

84
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: so in the division. In your mind, what does this

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: team need to do to be a playoff team. Um,

86
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: keep winning football games. You know. Uh, We've been able

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: to find a way to win the last two, and

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: I think the most the momamentum that you can build

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: going down the backstretch of his season eating into the playoffs.

90
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think you know, the more wins the better. Well, really,

91
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: what I'm asking it's like, in what areas do you

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: think you guys need to do better? Right? You've seen

93
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: the first ten games of what specifically offensively, of what

94
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: you've been able to do. What do you think you

95
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: need to continue to get better at in order to

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of make that jump beat some quality teams, beat

97
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: some winning teams that are gonna be on your schedule. Um.

98
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think as of late, we've done a

99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: really good job of running the football. I think that's

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: something that we've dramatically improved on and something we need

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: to continue to do well and improve on. But um,

102
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: probably just um, I mean, we've made explosive plays here

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: and there, but you know, I think we could we

104
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: could probably do a little bit better job. I guess

105
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: of that going down to stretch
