1 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to the game plan. I'm Logan Pulsing here with 2 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: a man that needs no introduction, that's Coach Day and 3 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: Quinn and we were in the Big Bear AI Command 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Center studio and coach Merry Christmas, Man. 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas Man. It's a what a cool thing to 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: be playing on Christmas. I've done a few times, but 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: to be a standalone game that's a really big deal. Man, 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: to bring Christmas in all over the world. Like, that's 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: awesome it have you sa you've done it before? 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: And like, how is it getting all the guys ready 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: to go on Christmas Day and the whole thing. 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like there's a cool element to that 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: that knowing that you know people are watching and uh, 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: you know for me growing up those days and the holidays, 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: whether it's Christmas or Thanksgiving and you know, seeing a 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: game and everybody's together and you're watching, So I know 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: that's going on. You know a lot of families and 18 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: a lot of homes, and so to get to be 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: the ones they are watching, I guess not lost on them. 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's awesome that we're playing a team 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: that we know really well. Yeah, big time rival Dallas Cowboys, 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, the second matchup is always a little bit different, 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: and it's around Christmas, Like how you feel about the 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: ball game? 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, just going in division games are always a blast, man. 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 2: So we had four going into this, you know, right 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: in a row, Giants, Philly, Dallas and back to Philly, 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: and so I love the energy. You know that the 29 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: guys are brought in the first two parts of those 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: matchups one and one as we're sitting in that four 31 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: game tournament, but playing against Dallas, familiar opponent, how we 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: want to get down the important parts of the game. 33 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: And then having it here at home obviously that's a 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: big deal. 35 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: And again like they kind of played you guys a 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: little bit differently than they had played before. Like how 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: much do you weigh that first game versus like what 38 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: they've been the last couple of weeks, Like balance that out. 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to look strengths and weaknesses. Where are 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: they and you know this just from playing there's a 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: couple of things that are going to be different. Yeh know, 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: both teams have some new wrinkles that maybe they didn't 43 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: show the first game or did something different off of 44 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: similar look. So it's part of the strategy that goes on. 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: I think it gets elevated in the division games. 46 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And a guy that's been elevating the past couple 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: weeks is Bobby Wagner. Man like slowly ticking up that 48 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: tackle chart almost at two thousand, which is unbelievable. Yeah, 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: how has it been? What you I mean, you knew 50 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: him when he was this big, yes, and now how 51 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: does it see him now when he's on the verge 52 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: of that great milestone. 53 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: It's really cool. And the reason why, man, is this 54 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: a person that puts in work. And I've always got 55 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: a special spot for a competitor like that that is 56 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: just never backing off logan and he just always sets 57 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: a high standard, always going after it. He's as tough 58 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: as they come, and so to be in that kind 59 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: of rare air of tackling, I think it's one of 60 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: the coolest things. And I'm certain he'll get it. 61 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he might get it this year, which 62 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: would be fantastic. Right, he's like fifteen away, so he's 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: been he's been playing us, and that's the only I 64 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: want to ask you. It seems like of last two 65 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: weeks he's just played better and more confident, and you know, 66 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: in games that like when the guy is leading that 67 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: way with that level of energy, it seems it gives 68 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: me chills just thinking about it, quite frankly to. 69 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: See some of the big tackles he made and the 70 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 2: excitement and the enthusiasm that he comes up with. Here's 71 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: a big hit against the giants under down big stack 72 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: in this one. Just that kind of emotion that he 73 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: shows from the stoic person like it lifts everybody up. 74 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: And like I said, his square tackling ability, especially in 75 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: between you know, in the tackle box man, it's rare, 76 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: and uh yeah, we're all fortunate to get a chance 77 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: to coach him and learn from them. And so let's 78 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: go battle. 79 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously old guy Bobby Wagner and then some 80 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: young guys playing really well. Mikey Sandersol comes to mind, 81 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: has this dynamic play to start the game off. How 82 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: cool is it that you're like one of your starting 83 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: defensive players is making a play on teams for you. 84 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important and you know, if you play on defense, 85 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: ready to play on special teams. We knew how important 86 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: the ball was going to be in this game, and 87 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: so offensively from a ball security standpoint and defensively and 88 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: on teams ability to go take it. But I thought 89 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: I took the ball away. Yeah, you know, there's a 90 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: difference between a muffed punt this you had to go 91 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: take it away and another bruin had to fight for this. 92 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, came, let's give him, Let's give him some bluff. 93 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: It was one of the longest scrum that he had 94 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: it and wasn't giving it up, and so like even 95 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: at the end they were not pulling him off. He 96 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: was not giving that ball up. 97 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: Well, it's funny. I was staying on the sideline and 98 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: I was like, he's got it. Obviously, it's one of 99 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: those things that takes so long, and like, well, who's 100 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: got it now? 101 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: And so he was not backing off man, and so 102 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: like it was easily like a felt like a minute, 103 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 2: you know, just nope, not giving it up like guys 104 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: on top trying to roll off. Nope, not giving it up. 105 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: A lot of pride about how important it is, and 106 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: he was not going to back off for his team. 107 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: That's fantastic. And then you know, Mike, he's a guy 108 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: that you know, obviously great play on teams, but I 109 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: think played outstanding on defense. Big tackle in a nice 110 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: Cover two past break up. Like, what have you seen 111 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: from him on the perimeter and maybe for fans at home, like, 112 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: how is it different from what he's been doing in 113 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: the slow Yeah. 114 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: One of the things I've seen, I think the Cover 115 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: two ones and example, is how he's able to use 116 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: his vision from the outside. Now I can see routes, 117 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: I can see the quarterback, and so for him being 118 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: off some as opposed to playing download and I think 119 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: that's a big deal for him. 120 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And it's just fun to watch him. And 121 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: he's got a big challenge this week with Dak Prescott, 122 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: who's I don't know. To me, he's playing like a 123 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: top five guy in the NFL, Like, how do you 124 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: get the guys ready to go and how do you 125 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: kind of try to disrupt a really fantastic player. 126 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the offense is absolutely ripping, you know, with Pickens 127 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 2: and c Yeah, Purpen and obviously Dak, you know at 128 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: the front of it. I think it would appear one 129 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: of his very best years in terms of throwing the 130 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: ball and the accuracy to go. And so it'll take 131 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 2: our best performance for sure. 132 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: And you mentioned all the skill position guys they got, 133 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: like you know, Pickens just seems to kind of have 134 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: reached new level. What have you seen from him? And 135 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: like what makes him so dangerous? 136 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: You know, I think you've seen like his route tree 137 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: grow as the season's gone. Where early in the season 138 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: CD was running some of the over routes you know, 139 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: has beaten you know, the Cover three match teams, and 140 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, now you saw Pickens do 141 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: it running through you know, Cover two to find some 142 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: spaces to get open. So it's been impressive, both of 143 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: them are. But now that there's more routes for him 144 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: that you see, it makes it considerably tougher. 145 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet and a guy that you know obviously 146 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: they have good receivers. We have good receivers, Terry. I 147 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: mean every time he's on the field just consistently shows up. 148 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: What have you seen from him? Again, like just his 149 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: ability to kind of make that explosive play, make that 150 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: big play when you need like that clutch gene. Yes, 151 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: how awesome is that be? 152 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: That's a great way to say it, because he does 153 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: have that there's there's an explosive play to be made 154 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: and one you know, to go over the top. That's 155 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: to me, Terry yeah, and you know we'll need that again, 156 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: you know for certain versus Dallas to make those kind 157 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: of big plays and uh and getting the end zone 158 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: for sure, that's what's going to take in this game. 159 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: You know, I'm likely gonna be a three to three 160 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: game with guys like Terry and CD and Pickens and 161 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 2: Back and others. So it'll be a great battle. 162 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: And the guy that I've really enjoyed watching the last 163 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and I'm gonna be a nerd here 164 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: coach is trailing Burks. Yes, not because the receiving stuff, 165 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: but because he seems to be throwing it down as 166 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: a blocker, which to me says like just shows his 167 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: passion for the team and passion for this opportunity. It's 168 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: got to be great to watch him every week. Yeah. 169 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: The competitiveness, I think that's what stands out Logan, you 170 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: submit practice, he wants to return every punt you want, 171 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: but that that that speaks to you know who he 172 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: is and how he wants to compete in the blocking. 173 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: So his toughness with and without the ball, and if 174 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: you can do that and find your own marks, you know, 175 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: to make your impact. I think that's a that's a 176 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: really cool thing. 177 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: Got a bunch of guys that benefited from not only 178 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, Trailing's blocking, but the offensive line is the 179 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: running back group. And again you know Bill Crosskey Berrett 180 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: scores another touchdown, you know, kind of just giving us 181 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: a taste of how great he can be. How do 182 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: you feelt about his development? And you know, I guess 183 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: what is Anthony Lynn's role in his development? 184 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the thing that you've seen, like how 185 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: much studying is going in if you you know, came 186 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: in Wednesday morning on their first day our Wednesday, like 187 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: who is already calling out the code words? 188 00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: Who is nice? 189 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: And it was Bill. You know, it's like, this is 190 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: a guy that is putting in work and so other 191 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: people have come to trust him and know him. And 192 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: there's a guy that's doing the extra and wants to 193 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: demonstrate that. Dude. 194 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: It's so fun to watch it. But it's so fun 195 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: to watch Chris Rodriguez too. Again they kind of compliment 196 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: each other, well, like there's this explosive player and then 197 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more physical downhill and again his Chris's 198 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: story is so unique because it's up for practice, squad down, 199 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: back up, like it's got to be fun to root 200 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: for a guy like that. 201 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: When you see somebody have an opportunity and they're just 202 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: not going to miss it. You know, that was him. 203 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to be in the right shape, I'm going 204 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: to be in the right spot, and came to training camp, 205 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: he said, Okay, this is somebody that you can count on. 206 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,239 Speaker 2: And so his ability to lift others is also really impactful. 207 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: So I couldn't imagine being a rookie and being a 208 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: better spot than Bill is with two veterans like Chris 209 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: and Jeremy just to constantly bring him and help develop him. 210 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: And I think that speaks a lot of who they are, 211 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: not just as ballplayers, but as teammates. 212 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: And so for that running back spot, like you know, 213 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: what's the hardest thing for those young guys to pick up? 214 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: I know people say protection quite a bit. 215 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: Is that the thing you I would say that, and 216 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: the case for Bill was taking what's there? So often 217 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: I can make this big play, I can make this 218 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: big play, and so like make sure press the gap, 219 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: then make the cut, and so take what's there. Sometimes 220 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: the three yard run, you know, that's the three yard run. 221 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: But if you're cutting back too early or not making 222 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: the right read. So don't press it, take what's there, 223 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: be aggressive and he's learned to do that for sure. 224 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: And I can't wait to watch these guys run against 225 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: the Stalls defense. Obviously they've had some additions, kind of 226 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: big trades. Quentin Williams is there. Yes, what have you 227 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: seen from him? Again? He's kind of one of these 228 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: guys that kind of skates under the radar, but very 229 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: very talented football player. 230 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: I think when you put him and said Digazua together 231 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: that can happen, you know from quinnin upfield pressure. 232 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean it was the same way right. 233 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: Like he can penetrate, disrupt, and so the two of 234 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: them together have been a handful. In fact, he's Kenny 235 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: Clark and do some buy down and so when you 236 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: have those you add that to the group and definitely 237 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: a challenge for sure, and you know Quinn not being 238 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: there in the first game, but man, he's made his impact. 239 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: Coach obviously Christmas Day, huge rivalry, Like what's the level 240 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: of emotion for you heading today's game. 241 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: When the schedule came out and you saw that one 242 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: and you wanted to circle it, know, and that was 243 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: a standalone game and sort of know us in Dallas 244 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: on Christmas for this one to be seen you know, 245 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: all over and houses all over America all over the world, 246 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: Like what a cool honor man. And then to add 247 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: a division game into it where the stakes are raised 248 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 2: a little stronger, a little higher, of two teams that 249 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: like to battle one another, man, Like, it's one of 250 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 2: the coolest feelings. 251 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: And so is there a managing of emotions in this 252 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: game for the guys, because I remember like the divisional 253 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: games for us were always crazy big and it was 254 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: almost like the coach I'd be like, hey, guys, you know, 255 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: like pick your spot here. 256 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: And all of that goes around this one, like think 257 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: all the families are in town for that's right. So 258 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: all of that you have to manage and make sure 259 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 2: that everything's peaking, you know.
