8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: just spend some QT with the fam and it was

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: really good. And now I guess, just what's the mindset

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: getting back to work? You guys? Uh, the mindset is

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: just that, let's get back to work. Uh. You know,

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: we we just we got our bodies back, right, but

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, our minds was still in it. We know

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: what we had to do. Uh during the bye week,

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: and most of us came back prepared. Where all of

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: us came back prepared, and uh we just gotta finish

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: this game, uh this week out strong. Uh and then

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: also take a game by game. Uh. It's so it's

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of crazy that it's so close to the end

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: and you can just try to group all the games together,

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: but you gotta break him down week by week, and uh,

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta take it as such week by

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: week and this giving particularly with uh one of you know,

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: they got two great backs and Jonathan Taylor's having amazing

25
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: season right. Uh he can take the ball anywhere. Uh,

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: he can do anything with the ball, and uh he's

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: been very trustworthy. Uh and ask he goes the teams

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: are going, and so setting the edge is important, very

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: important this week, Uh, trying to trying to force them

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: back into our defenders inside, you know, with DG Carl LG. Balmore,

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: all those guys. And then so you know, we got

32
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: me Wise kV uh high Towers Upstine, Uh Jamie. So

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: we got a pretty good group, and it's gonna be

34
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: a challenge because they got some good tight ends and

35
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: they got good uh tackles. So we we offer the challenge,

36
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: but uh it's gonna be hard because they got good players.

37
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Cob cases rising kind of around the league obviously around

38
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: the country of the world. Is there any message feeling

39
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: responsibility as the leader to kind of convey we have

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: to think care of our business to avoid you know,

41
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: losing guys here ahead of a game and downond stretch. Well, Uh,

42
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: Jess as a teammate and in a friend first, I

43
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: know it like some players go through. You know, I

44
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: have a family at home. My daughter goes to school,

45
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: uh brigand goes to do her things during the week,

46
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: and uh it's just kind of hard, you know. Uh

47
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: we as players in this building, we have to protect

48
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: ourselves and try not to uh try not to you know,

49
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: run into too many people that we don't know what

50
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: they're doing. But you know that's also hard. H We

51
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: got like we're trying to do charity work and being

52
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a community as well. So it's just a tough balance.

53
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: And really all we can say as leaders or anybody

54
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: is just protect yourself. Uh. You know, if you if

55
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: you're going outside police, wear a mask, try not to

56
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: spend time and places that you really don't have to

57
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: where you can be at home. But it's it's a

58
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: as we all know from last year, it's a tough

59
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: this is a very tough time. Just stay at home.

60
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Uh So, uh, just protect yourself as much as you can.

61
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: And uh, when you don't have to be somewhere, please

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: go home. And if you have to be somewhere, just

63
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: please wear a mask, were correctly and try to wash

64
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: your hands as much as possible. Man. We and then

65
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: also just text and pray and tell somebody you love

66
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: them every day. Man. It's it's it's definitely difficult. I

67
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: don't have the answers. I really don't. I'm just trying

68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: to follow guidelines and whatever comes out comes out, and

69
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: so just we don't know, nobody knows. Just just be safe.

70
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: In the past, we've heard talking about not running past

71
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback as a pass rusher by just wondering, do

72
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: you do you have a little bit more freedom to

73
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: do that. I'm from coaching. Does he ever get on

74
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: you as sometimes for an No, I get the same

75
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: as that coaches U coaching, as everybody else, you know,

76
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: And it's easy to say, don't run past the quarterback

77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: until you get a great get off and then a

78
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: chap will push you two more yards. But you just

79
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: gotta you just gotta be a and it kind of

80
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: sucks to say this, but just a football player and

81
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: try to work back. Uh, And so I get the

82
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: same exact coultures when I run past the quarterback is

83
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: everybody else. It's uh, try not to do that, or

84
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: make sure I don't do that, and then uh, you know,

85
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: hopefully the next player next time I don't do it.

86
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: But if I do, make sure I retrace and uh

87
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: and get a sack or something. So, but I get

88
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: the same culture. What is the keys when you're facing runs?

89
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Just everybody doing that in assignment. And you know it's

90
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: a very boring answer. But on this side you're getting

91
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: a run and this side you're getting the past. So

92
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: uh read your keys, uh and play what you see

93
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: and so uh if you're getting run sets on this

94
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: side and getting past sets on this side, Uh, just play,

95
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: play what you see and play your keys and then

96
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: uh the rest of the defense. You know, if it's

97
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: a run action over here, but he thought the pass,

98
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: we just got to retrace and uh and help getting

99
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the way. Or if it's a run, the backside just

100
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: got to pursue and make sure they cut off the cutback.

101
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot. You've talked about the toughness, physicality

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: of the offensive line of your team, physicality. When you

103
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: look at the Colts offensive line and in particular, guys,

104
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: do you see similar qualities from Indianapolis physical football? Uh? Yeah,

105
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Uh they got they got three ft Rogers on their

106
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: offensive line. Uh. They're very well coach group, uh, and

107
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: they playing in sync. And I think, Uh, that's that's

108
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: a big part of it. You know, they're playing in Unison,

109
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: and uh, you see how tough they are when Nelson

110
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Quinn Nelson out there and he playing through an injury

111
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: that a lot of people won't play through, and so

112
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: you you that just speaks on who they are as

113
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: a group and who he is as a player, and uh,

114
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: you know he has all the accolades and deservingly so.

115
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Uh and so we we just got to go out

116
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: there and match their intensity and their physicality that they

117
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: bring to h A team that wants to run the ball,

118
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: a team that don't mind handing it off fifty times

119
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: a game, and so we just got to go out

120
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: there and match that. Spoke to us earlier, he mentioned

121
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: just he fielders didn't want already in the league that

122
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: he can remember since he entered in twenty sixteen. And

123
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: then also, there are a lot of states on Saturday.

124
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel similarly either the idea that

125
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: a lot of teams are really good this year and

126
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you guys are playing for kind of fat position this weekend. Uh,

127
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: we playing to win the game and just this one

128
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: game and whatever comes along with that. Uh, it does

129
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: because you know, I want to say the first game

130
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: we played this season, were playing for the playoffs and

131
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: were playing for something bigger, but we was focused on

132
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: that one game. So this one game, it's no different

133
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: than those games. You know in the beginning of the season.

134
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: We gotta go out there and execute and focus and

135
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: lock in and win the game. Uh. Yeah, the pictures

136
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: starting to shape, you know, wins and losses are getting bigger,

137
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: just because it's the end of the season and h

138
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: but we out there were out there playing like we was,

139
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: uh for the same reason. It's the first week, and

140
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: so we got to go out there and execute. But uh,

141
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, they in our division and all that good stuff.

142
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: So we just got to go out there and do

143
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: what we have to do. Uh. It went well. Uh

144
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: if people don't know we're talking about. We took fifty

145
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: kids to Walmart, gave them a gift card and allowed

146
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: them to buy whatever they wanted. Um, and you know,

147
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: most of the most of the little boys ran to

148
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: the electronic sections and got them like gift cards and

149
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: stuff or they PlayStations or stuff like that. But uh,

150
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: uh these kids are deserving and uh, like you could

151
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: see like some of them kind of didn't know how

152
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: to shop or they like just getting everything. You're like, well, no,

153
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: like you only got so much money and h But

154
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: then you know, I think everybody that we brought there

155
