1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Going into his third year in the league, Your third

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: year in the.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: League, what what's kind of the biggest change that he've

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: noticed in him as he's.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: Fer I mean, I think a lot of a lot

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: of things.

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: Obviously, like the talent's always been there, and he's always

8
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 3: had a knack for the game and been a great

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 3: runner and done a lot of things to you know,

10
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: create explosive plays, all that all the way back to

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: college and last year. I think he's just getting, you know,

12
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: more and more like football savvy and understanding defenses and protections.

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: I think that's just growing a lot right now and

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: I think he's gotten That's one thing I think he's

15
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: I think he's taking a huge step in from last

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: year this year is all that. And I think he's

17
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: really sharp with protections and that was one thing that

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: I know he wanted to work on and I think

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: he's done a great job. So that's one thing I've

20
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: been impressed with. And just making his game, you know,

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: really well rounded, and I think he's doing a great

22
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: job of that. And obviously the more he can do,

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: the more he's on the field, the more he helps us.

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: So that's that's what we all want and him as well,

25
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: So it's been good to see him grow in all

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: those areas.

27
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Like a number one pick overall pick question real quick,

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: you know, for Bryce Young, what what would have for

29
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: successful season for the number one overall picks coming into

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: the league.

31
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Look like might be asking the wrong guy. Uh, you know,

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: hopefully it goes a little better for him. No, I

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: think it's it's hard to say. It's a hard question.

34
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 3: Every team's different. Obviously, you know, someone told me this before,

35
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: and like there's some truth to it no matter the situation.

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: But typical, well it's a little different actually with Carolina

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: because I guess they traded up for it. But typically

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: whoever has the number one pick, you're going somewhere that

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: struggled the year before. So the expectations, you know, are

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: gonna be what they are, and you know it's gonna

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: be it's gonna be some tough challenges, but different actually

42
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: a little bit different in Carolina. So I know they

43
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: got they got a really good team. It seems like

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: they have a great coaching staff. I think just managing

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: those expectations, because I mean, what are expectations any Like,

46
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter what other people think you should do.

47
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Or you're gonna do.

48
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter at the end of the day,

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: as long as the guys in the locker room, you know,

50
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: trust and have faith in you, and you keep getting

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: better every day. I think that's what success looks like.

52
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 3: And obviously winning as many games as possible, but it's

53
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: hard to say you know how many that's gonna be,

54
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: and you don't know the set of obstacles that are

55
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: gonna be in front of you, and you just have

56
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: to go with that mindset every day of getting better

57
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: and not letting bad plays, bad games get in your

58
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 3: head and just continuing to turn the page over, learn

59
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: from the good, learn from the bad, and continue growing.

60
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest thing and the most success

61
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: you can have is.

62
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: By doing that.

63
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know if you're asking the best

64
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 3: candidate for it. Yeah, but no, I think it for sure.

65
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a learning experience.

66
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Definitely, just kind of getting.

67
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Through it, you know what I mean, just like get

68
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: through this.

69
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's never the mindset of getting through it.

70
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: You know. I think you wanta you wanna thrive, You want.

71
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 3: To find success win wise, and you know, obviously you

72
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: want to play well and put your team in a

73
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: situation to win. But there is part of it that

74
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: you just have to learn by experience. There's some things

75
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: that you're gonna have to make mistakes on to learn,

76
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: you know, no matter who you are. Maybe there's fewer

77
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: than other guys with Bryce, who knows what that'll be,

78
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: But there's gonna be things that you're just gonna have

79
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: to experience it and learn learn it. And obviously the

80
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: NFL in and of itself is just different in the

81
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: schedule and the season. It's a really long season. And

82
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: obviously he's used to playing at a good school where

83
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: they play a lot of games. That'll help him. But

84
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: it's just all different. And you know, I think he's

85
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: seems you know, I know Bryce a little bit. He

86
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: seems great. I think he's gonna he's gonna do just fine.

87
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just, you know, it's different for everybody,

88
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: but definitely a learning experience from.

89
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: Your one to year three. Doug just came in here

90
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: and said, there's so much confidence in the locker room.

91
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: You get a sense that you guys are are at

92
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: a different level confidence. Why and why is it because

93
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: of the way you finished last season? Because the carryover,

94
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: the number of starters back, all those things.

95
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I think it's a lot of things.

96
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: I think it's obviously, you know, you have you have

97
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: confidence from a little bit from past success. But I

98
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: also think preparation and knowing our system and feeling more

99
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: comfortable in what we're doing, just speaking from an offensive standpoint,

100
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: and I'm sure defensively the same way. I mean, guys

101
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: look great, but I'm obviously not in those meeting rooms,

102
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: but I would say they feel the same. Just being

103
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: in the system. You just know more. You can react faster,

104
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: you can play faster, you communicate better with the guys

105
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: around you. Uh So I think that gives you confidence too.

106
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: Obviously the way we finished the year, that gives us confidence.

107
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: But it's a new season and that doesn't carry over.

108
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: You know, everyone starts at the same in the same

109
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: spot at the end of the year, so you can't

110
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: you can't think that it's gonna be like that. You know,

111
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 3: you got to go out and earn it. And I

112
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 3: think we also have confidence from the training camp that

113
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: we've had. OTA's how we've worked all that plays into it.

114
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: But now we get to go play for real, and

115
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, see what we got, see what type of

116
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: team we are, and prove it on the field. Just

117
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: how different is this team at in the Week one

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: this year than it was last year? Maybe it's a

119
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: lot different, you know, like the confidence piece, and just

120
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, you know, there's gonna be things that come

121
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: up along the season. There's gonna be some hiccups. It's

122
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: never gonna go perfect. But I think just the confidence

123
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: we have in our guys, in our system and our staff,

124
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: and just over all the relationships and the kind of

125
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: the storms that we weathered last year, it gives us

126
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: confidence too that you know, we know everything's not going

127
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: to go perfect this year. It's it's never going to

128
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: no matter how good your team is. So understanding that

129
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: and also realizing we've been through some of that adversity

130
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: before and we know how to handle it and when

131
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: it comes, you know, I think we'll be able to

132
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: bounce back even quicker than we were able to last year.

133
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: So I think that's everyone has confidence in that.

134
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: Christian mentioned on Monday, you know, the issue came up

135
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 5: about stats and he just he immediately downplayed, you know,

136
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: anything with regarding stats, that the only thing that mattered

137
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: was getting better every day and winning as a quarterback

138
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: who's got a lot of really quality weapons, who are

139
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: capable of putting up big numbers. How sort of liberating

140
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 5: is it for you that you seem to have a

141
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: core of weapons around you that aren't caught up in

142
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 5: their individual glory.

143
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: That's big.

144
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: I think it takes a lot of pressure off me.

145
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: You know, that's one less thing to worry about, because

146
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: that is a that's a real thing. You know guys,

147
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: and you know certain teams and positions that you know

148
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: they want, not that they're not that they don't care

149
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: about winning, but they're they also really care about, you know,

150
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: getting there, getting their touches, getting the ball, getting their stats.

151
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: And of course we all wanna we all want to

152
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: have good stats and we want to play well. Like

153
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: that's that'd be ideal you do that and win the game.

154
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: But when we're talking about guys like you should always

155
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: if you win the game, doesn't really matter what your

156
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: stat line is, even if you have one catch, no catches.

157
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: If I you know, through a pick through two picks

158
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: and we win, obviously I'm not gonna be happy with

159
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: my performance, but I'm gonna celebrate with the team. I'm

160
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: gonna be happy we won the game. That's what this

161
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: league's about. It's hard to win. So when you find

162
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: ways to win, you know, that's That's the cool thing

163
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: about our team is we enjoy it. You know, we

164
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: we understand that it's hard to win, and we have

165
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: that perspective of it's not really about personal stats, individual stats,

166
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: it's about the team and you know, but with that,

167
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: you know, guys take pride in their performance. So I

168
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: think there's a fine line. You don't want to you're

169
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: not happy with, uh, you know, mediocrity, Like you want

170
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: to play well and you want to.

171
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Put your best stuff out there. But there's a fine line,

172
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: for sure.

173
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 5: You said earlier that it doesn't matter what everybody else

174
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: thinks about or what the outside perceptions are.

175
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: What have you?

176
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: So do you do you? Is there not any kind

177
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: of feeling in the locker room? Obviously the givers are

178
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: getting a lot of good positive attention here in the preseason.

179
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: Would you almost rather not? Would you rather be under

180
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: the radar instead of having people acknowledge you hate the Jags?

181
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 5: This is a this is a super Bowl contending team.

182
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: I don't really care to be honest, you know, I

183
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: think it's I think it's more dangerous to have people

184
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: praising you than than to not have any expectations. But

185
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: with the group we have, it doesn't worry me at all.

186
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I think we know how to work, come

187
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: to work every day with the same mindset. But that's

188
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. Is that's why I don't really Everyone

189
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: always asks about expectations and how you deal with them,

190
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: Like you don't really deal with them, you just don't

191
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: listen to them. Like, what doesn't matter what you know

192
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: this guy said over here, he's not in our locker room.

193
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: He's not a part of our team. I mean, even

194
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: if you said something good, we go out and lose Sunday,

195
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: everyone's going to be like, oh, I told you they

196
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: weren't gonna be and against It doesn't really matter, you

197
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: know what people say or you know, so we just

198
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: have to keep our ship tight. And I think that's

199
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: the biggest thing that Coach has done a good job

200
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: of is is making sure we do that and and

201
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: managing all those expectations, because that's just it's they're not real.

202
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: It's not a real thing.

203
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: You know.

204
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: We have to go play every Sunday and put our

205
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: best foot forward and you can't do that if you're

206
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: listening to what other people are saying.

207
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: What's the challenge of facing a defense week one?

208
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: It's the same coordinator, maybe some new players out there

209
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: for the coach.

210
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's definitely some challenges, you know, facing these teams

211
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: in the first two, three, four weeks of the season

212
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: when there's not much tape out there and it's I'd

213
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: say it's more challenging when it's a new coordinator and

214
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: everything's changed, that's definitely more challenging. And but same here

215
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: with this with this team, you got a lot of

216
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: new players and there's a little bit of preseason film,

217
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: but you never know if that's what they're gonna do

218
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: or they gonna do more, do they show something they're

219
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: not gonna do? Like who knows, and you got you

220
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: gotta go play the game. But I think obviously with

221
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: this coordinator, coach Bradley, he's done a great job and

222
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: all the places he's been, you know, he does what

223
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: he does, he has his system, and of course he's

224
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: gonna have I'm sure some wrinkles and some new stuff

225
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: being a division opponent, especially and we played him twice

226
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: last year.

227
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: But They're a really disciplined group. They do what they do,

228
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: they do it well.

229
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: You know, that's kind of where he makes his money

230
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: is by doing that. And the guys are really well coached.

231
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: They're in the right spot. So even if it's one

232
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: of those things like even if you know what they're doing,

233
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: you still got to go beat them and vice versa.

234
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: If they know what we're doing, they still have to

235
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 3: cover rest of stuff to do all that. So I

236
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: think that's how the game's played too. There's you know,

237
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: sometimes not as much trickery as you might think. Obviously

238
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: you're gonna have some some plans and some secrets, some

239
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: stuff up your sleeve. But the end of the day,

240
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: you know, you coach your guys to do something and

241
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: to you know, play assignment football, and they do a

242
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: really good job of that.

243
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: So we got to go beat them a lot about

244
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: getting off the fast start.

245
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: How important is that for Sunday, for the first chance

246
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: to go and show you can do that.

247
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's big every week, you know. Obviously we'd

248
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: love to go out there and score first drive. That's

249
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: the plan. So that's you know, that's what we're gonna

250
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: try to do. That's what we've worked on that a

251
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: lot this this offseason. I mean, no matter what series

252
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: it is, what drive it is just being efficient. And

253
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: I think we've gotten a lot better in a lot

254
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: of areas. And we get a chance to go prove

255
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: it Sunday and some one counts and excited and I

256
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: know all the guys are pumped to get out there.

257
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Thing or is that just an execution early in the game.

258
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,119
Speaker 1: It's both. I think it's a mindset. It's execution. Obviously,

259
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: you got to execute.

260
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: You got to keep your you know, you got to

261
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: keep it in manageable situations. You don't want to get

262
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 3: in second and third and long early. I think that's

263
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. You don't want penalties, just all that,

264
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: like play clean, especially to start the game, getting a rhythm,

265
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: and then we can settle in and and and go

266
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: after them. So I think that's the that's the key.

267
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: And so we'll see.

268
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: Specifically there a couple of missus from last time out

269
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: there and said, you know, you guys lost nine.

270
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: And tenant Indy, I don't even realize and really seem

271
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: to have a sour case and that last trip.

272
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: What do you remember from that loss? And perhaps how

273
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: you guys can change things this time.

274
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: And now, yeah, I know I haven't I know I

275
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: haven't won there. You know since the last two years.

276
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: We didn't win either of those games. So definitely bad

277
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: taste of my mouth going going there, and you know,

278
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: we want to write the ship there, that's for sure,

279
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: just didn't execute. I know that game was it was

280
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: one of those one of a handful from last year

281
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: where could have, should have would have you know, could

282
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: have had, could have won the game, should have won

283
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: the game, had opportunities and didn't and they ended up winning.

284
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: So you know, we all remember that, and I think

285
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: it's good to not forget that. But you know, also

286
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: coach sends us the message of we also are you know,

287
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: we gotta move on. It's a new year, but I

288
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: just want you all to remember kind of the history

289
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: and what's been there and haven't played well there. So

290
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: I think that's something to you know, add a little

291
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: motivation for us. But the end of the day, it

292
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: is a new year and a new season and can't

293
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: carry too much of that over. But definitely we have

294
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: the right mindset going in this week.

295
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Sequille Leonard's healthy and ready to go.

296
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: Kind of players, see what kind of problem can he be.

297
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: He's a great player.

298
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: Obviously didn't didn't play against him last year, but my

299
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: rookie we did. And you know, just a guy that

300
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: you always have to know where he's at. He's got

301
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: a knack for you know, one forgetting takeaways, punching the

302
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 3: ball out or in coverage, you know, reading quarterbacks, eye,

303
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: you know, making plays in the ball and just really athletic,

304
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: can move sideline to sideline, diagnose his plays really really quickly.

305
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: He's a great player, great instinct. So you know if

306
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: he if he ends up playing, obviously it's a guy

307
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: you you know he's out there. You always know where

308
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: he's at. But you know, we got to be prepared

309
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 3: for whoever it is. But he's a he's a great player.

310
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 5: As a professional, you play a good team every week,

311
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 5: doesn't matter, and you play division games.

312
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Are there is there such a thing as a as

313
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: a rivalry? And in professional football I think so?

314
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: I mean you have your division rivals and you got

315
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: teams that I mean honestly though, I feel like every

316
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: division game feels that way. And it's almost like the

317
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: division games are worth double, you know, because we all

318
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: know how important it is to win your division, and

319
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: when you can start with one, it's a big opportunity,

320
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: you know, to either get ahead or fall by a

321
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: little bit in your division. So we understand how big

322
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: this game is, and like I said, the history of

323
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: us playing the Colts there and what we need to do,

324
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: and we understand all that and it is a big game,

325
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: and just excited to get out there and play when

326
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: I know we've been chopping at the bit and the

327
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: team's ready. So but yeah, I mean all those games

328
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: feel like rivals.

329
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean you look across the line of script. You

330
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: get to know these guys over the years.

331
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh you play them, yeah, I mean twice a year.

332
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: You get to know these guys, You talk to them,

333
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: see them after games, all that stuff, and you get

334
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: familiar year to year. So this is my whatever, fifth

335
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: time playing the Colts, and so I've played some of

336
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: these guys. This will be the fifth time, so you

337
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: get to know how they play, things they like to do.

338
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: Obviously have a different coordinator the last two years, and

339
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: they did my rookie year or this year, and.

340
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Last year they did my rookie year.

341
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: But you remember players and you keep things saved and

342
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: you go back on notes and all that stuff, and

343
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: you remember all that.

344
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris,
