1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Howdy, now we can go. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: That's up. 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 3: I'll tough with it to try to come back, and 4 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 3: you guys did, and you guys were down twenty one nothing. 5 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: You guys made it a game, one score game. 6 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 4: And then what happened after that? 7 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: What happened after that? 8 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 5: I I mean, we started the game off with a punt, 9 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 5: a fumble, a fourth down turnover, a touchdown, and a punt. 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure. 11 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 5: Like I said since I've been back, is that our 12 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 5: team is gonna have to rely on our really good 13 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 5: veteran offense to score a lot of points and not 14 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 5: turn the ball over. And we didn't really do that today, 15 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 5: and so I think that's that's gonna be that's gonna 16 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 5: be the case moving forward. Our offense has played at 17 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 5: incredibly high level. We'd score a lot of points with 18 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 5: not turn the ball over. And I think our defense 19 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 5: is gonna get better and better throughout the week because 20 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 5: we still have a lot of young guys. We have 21 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 5: a lot of guys missing, but we have to help 22 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 5: out our defense. That that's just that's the way the 23 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 5: season is gonna go. Our offense has played at a high 24 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 5: level efficient not turn the ball over, score points, score 25 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 5: in the. 26 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: Red zone and then we'll win a lot of games. 27 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: But we're not doing that. That's gonna happens. 28 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 2: Trading is the win loss, win loss win lost rhythm 29 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: that you guys are on right now. 30 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 6: And how do you kind of string some together, some wins. 31 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 5: Together, stringing wins long again, stringing wins along is really fun. 32 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 5: I will say win loss, win loss is significantly better 33 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 5: than laser when it was. 34 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Like lost loss loss loss loss. 35 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 5: So as long as we're not getting worse as a team, 36 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 5: like I thought, besides the turnovers and stuff like that 37 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 5: are often still we're moving the ball. I mean, Mac 38 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 5: Jones had a hell of a football game. Was he 39 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 5: thirty three of thirty nine? 40 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? 41 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 5: I mean the interception actually is a catch, is not 42 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 5: complete passed, so thirty four he said that to me, 43 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 5: that was his idea. 44 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: That's funny, but like it is frustrating, Like losing sucks. 45 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: This is what it is. I hate losing. It's not 46 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: very fun. 47 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 5: But as long as like we're getting better and what 48 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 5: the Rams are the number one defense in the NFL. 49 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 5: They're like everyone's favorite team in the NFL. So like, 50 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 5: was that a must win game? 51 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. 52 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 5: I mean, I want to win every single game, but 53 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 5: you know we have we still have plenty of games 54 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 5: in front of us that if we win those, we'll 55 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 5: put ourselves in position positions to succeed at the end 56 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 5: of the season. So we just can't let this loss 57 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 5: turn in another loss. So we have to figure out 58 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 5: a way to not screw off next week and go 59 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 5: into Arizona and have a really good game against them. 60 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 7: Based on what you're saying about the offense, it seems 61 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 7: like the margin for air is pretty slim. How do 62 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 7: you make sure guys don't press to make sure that 63 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 7: you're trying to be perfect offensive? 64 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think we need to be perfect. 65 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 5: Like again, Mac Jones has been our quarterback for how 66 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 5: many weeks? Is our backup quarterback, and he's been playing really, 67 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 5: really well. We don't have Ricky Piarsol, we don't have 68 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 5: Brandon Ayuk I missed five games, like I just have 69 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 5: We have a bunch of guys out there who just 70 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 5: love playing football. I mean, Kendrick Bourn had thir hundred 71 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: yards and like back to back weeks he had a 72 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 5: hundred fifty yards like, so we have guys who can 73 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 5: make plays guys who love playing football. I don't think 74 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 5: it's not like a pressure thing on us. It's just like, hey, 75 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 5: go out there and execute, man, like you know how 76 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 5: to do it. Everybody here, Like our receiving room has 77 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 5: two thirty year olds in it, Like we're smart enough 78 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 5: to go out there and play. And Juwan's been this 79 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 5: offense long enough, Like we just got to go out 80 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 5: there and execute, not turn the ball over, just do 81 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 5: what we're supposed to do, and our offense should score 82 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 5: a lot of points. 83 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 6: And you mentioned that he thinks after a win sometimes 84 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 6: there's a tendency to get a little relaxed, feel like. 85 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 7: Maybe you're farther along than you are, not you personally 86 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 7: the team, would you feel that way? 87 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 4: No? 88 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 5: The only thing, like the crazy thing about football is 89 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 5: like you could have an absolutely terrible week of practice 90 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 5: and then if you go out there and win on Sunday, 91 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 5: who really cares about the week of practice because you 92 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 5: want on Sunday. You could have a fantastic week of 93 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 5: practice and it sets you up for success on Sunday. 94 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: But if you lose, is it is what it is? Like. 95 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 5: I don't think we had a bad week of practice. 96 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 5: I think guys are moving around. I think it was difficult. 97 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 5: You know, guys are definitely banged up. You know, after 98 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 5: back to back, you know, long flight stuff like that. 99 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: Guys were tired a little bit. But like I felt 100 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 5: the juice on Thursday, Friday, you know, Saturday, guys are 101 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 5: excited to play, and I still felt the juice out there. 102 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: You know. 103 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 5: It took a little bit for our defense to you know, 104 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 5: really like, you know, come together, get a stop. But 105 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 5: they're young defense, They're gonna it's gonna take them a 106 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 5: little bit. So I was going to coach him up. 107 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm not. It is what it is. 108 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 5: But you know, all my my expectations are just for 109 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 5: the offense and to continue to just execute and stop 110 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: turn the ball over. 111 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 7: Obviously Mac at this point, I'm sure it doesn't really 112 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 7: surprise you. But I mean, looking back when he first 113 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 7: got here, did you expect Mac Jones to be just good? 114 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: Nope? I did not. I nope, I did not. Nope. 115 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 6: That's awesome. 116 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: What a hell of a football player. 117 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 5: I get why he was a first round draft pick 118 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 5: thirty three of thirty nine. Wherever the statistic was. That's 119 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 5: a hell of a football game, Like he is playing 120 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 5: really well. He's not like dangerous with the football either, 121 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 5: Like he makes good throws. He forces a couple you know, 122 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: once in a while, but he's doing a great job. 123 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 5: And like our offense isn't an easy offense for a quarterback, 124 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 5: like I think besides, like quarterback and tight into my opinion, 125 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 5: are the two artist positions in our offense. Just of 126 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 5: what's ass of you on every single play, like like 127 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 5: learning the plays wise, like you're just required to do 128 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: so much. And Christian's up there too because he does 129 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 5: so much too. But Mac to come in and just 130 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 5: like take control the offense and play at a high 131 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 5: level consistently. It's awesome and it makes me really happy 132 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: because I'm a huge fan of Mac Jones. He's hilarious 133 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 5: and I love playing football with him because you can 134 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 5: tell he really loves the game. Give me one second, 135 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: you a couple more years, that's tough for you. 136 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 6: You can go, how would you explain the burden that 137 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 6: Christian cares. 138 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: And what he brings? Did you just ask me? Because 139 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: he just walked in. That's crazy. But then I was like, yeah, 140 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: that's all right. 141 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: I mean if you look at our offense last year, 142 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 5: when Christian doesn't play to this year when he does play, 143 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 5: and it's the amount of things that we're allowed to 144 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 5: do because of how talented he is. Like that is, 145 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 5: that's what Christian brings the table. All the routes he runs, 146 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 5: how good he is in the outside zone, how good 147 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 5: he is a getting downhill. I mean, like just the 148 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: way I know you guys, like you guys all get 149 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 5: like the twenty two cutups where you can see the film, 150 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 5: watch how he rides the wave of an outside zone 151 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 5: and then figures out how to cut up inside. There's 152 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 5: not a lot of people that can do what he does, 153 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 5: and like that helps us out tremendously, the way he 154 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: gets downhill. And then I mean, was it on our 155 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 5: on our first touchdown drive? You know he's out there 156 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 5: running an arches route getting us a first down, and 157 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 5: then Brian gets to score the next play. 158 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: Like he's selfless. 159 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 5: He does anything that we want him to do, and 160 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: he's better than everybody else to doing it. And that's 161 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 5: why he's leaning our team in receiving yards, russing yards, touchdowns, 162 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 5: all of the above. 163 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Once you can go next, let him go on your 164 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: on your touchdown? 165 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 7: Yes, uh did you see how close you were to 166 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 7: going out of bounds, and then. 167 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Did that football mean something special to you to throw 168 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: back to keep as it keeps. 169 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 5: I like to keep my touchdown balls because they're very 170 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 5: difficult to score. I've learned that over the course of 171 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 5: my career, and so they're fun and my wife likes 172 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 5: him for decorations. But you know, I knew that Matt 173 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 5: kind of floated it and I was like, please, just 174 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 5: don't go out of bounds. And then I thought I 175 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 5: was in bounds, and I saw I was close enough, 176 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 5: and everything in me, you know, I've watched so much 177 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 5: Kyle used Chuck film that he dives every time and 178 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 5: extends the football every time he's close to the end zone, 179 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 5: even though you're not supposed to. But I was like, yeah, 180 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 5: I'm just gonna go for this one, and it turned 181 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 5: out really, really well. It was actually funny because back 182 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 5: in with my senior year of college, we were playing 183 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: at Purdue and I had a very similar play on 184 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: the sideline. I went in to dive and my back 185 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 5: foot hit out of bounds as I was entering the 186 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 5: end zone, and so they called me out of bounds. 187 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 5: Like on the one ch yard line, and I literally 188 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 5: was thinking of that as I was diving. I was thinking, like, 189 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 5: keep your feet up, just wild flashback just nine years ago, 190 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 5: crazy Grant. 191 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: Were at six and four. 192 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: Do you feel like this team has what it takes 193 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 5: to make a deep run in the playoffs or is 194 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 5: that not your focus right on? 195 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: Oh? 196 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Both, yes, I do. 197 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 5: Like I think we're incredibly talented, and we still have 198 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 5: we have guys on offense coming back like we do, 199 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 5: and like what our left guard we've had what we 200 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 5: had BArch and Burford play, so like, whoever figures that 201 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 5: part out and we'll get some solid like solidify, Yeah, 202 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 5: let's go solidify solidity, thank you, and so like that 203 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 5: will lock itself in. And again like Maxim been playing 204 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 5: so well that people are like, oh yeah, you know, 205 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 5: controversies like this, brock Perty is an amazing quarterback. 206 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: That's why we paid him so much money. 207 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 5: And then whenever we can get Ricky and you know, 208 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 5: hopefully at some point Brandon back, Like, we have a 209 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 5: lot of talent on this offense, and so I thoroughly 210 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 5: believe that we can score a ton of points. And 211 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 5: I really do also believe that our defense will just 212 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 5: get a little bit better every single week. I truthfully 213 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 5: do believe that, and they've just been taking haymakers year 214 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 5: round with all the injuries, but I do Sawa is 215 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 5: such a good coach and he's gonna bump them those 216 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 5: guys up. They're gonna get some stops and we just 217 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 5: have to continue to score a lot of points and 218 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: now turn the ball over. And our special teams is 219 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 5: still playing really well, like sky Moore is about that, 220 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 5: he's got a house one here soon. Him and Brian, 221 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 5: they're both doing a great job. Thank you, Thank you, guys. 222 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely frustrating loss, But what can you say about Brian 223 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: Robinson and the versatility in the run game, mean that 224 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: both of you guys are out. 225 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 6: There making places. 226 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: It's awesome. You know, we take a lot of pride 227 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: in that room being able to do everything, and uh, 228 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: you know, he brings a great energy, great change of 229 00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: pay to our offense. 230 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: It's awesome. Christian. 231 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 6: What do you think of Jones? Jones last week competed 232 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 6: seventy nine percent. Today you can put it eighty five 233 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 6: percent against this defense. What do you think of the 234 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 6: ways playing. 235 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: He's a baller man, Yeah, he's a baller. He commands 236 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: a huddle, knows where to go, has great poise, and uh, 237 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: you know, he's a baller. We just we got to 238 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: be a little better for him emotionally. 239 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 6: Do you feel the same as George does, that you 240 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 6: guys have the players to make a. 241 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: Run for this Yeah. 242 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think we've you know, we we can be 243 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: our own worst enemy sometimes, and I think, uh, you know, 244 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: if we just stay on our p's and q's and 245 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: continue to be efficient and not have mental errors and 246 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: you know other things like that, we we have a chance. 247 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: You know, we always have a chance. I've said this 248 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: every week, but I think the beauty of this league 249 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: is you can win every game and you can lose 250 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: every game. That's also the challenge. But yeah, we definitely 251 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: have the guys. Today wasn't our day. We got beat. 252 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: You know, we got to move on just like we 253 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: do every week and get back to the drawing board 254 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: and play hard the rest of the way. 255 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 8: Krist and Dump said that you said something about after 256 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 8: wins or this team responds better after losses than wins. 257 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 6: What have you seen? 258 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know. 259 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: Something about having you know, having your back against the wall, 260 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: and something about having a chip on your shoulder, And 261 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: I think when you look at just the trajectory of 262 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: this year and the adversity that we've faced, I'm proud 263 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: of our guys effort and our resilience and the character 264 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: in those rooms. You know, It's it's tough losing the 265 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: guys that we have, but we we never believe we're 266 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: out of the fight and we never will and so 267 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: I'm proud of our guys in that way. So I 268 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: think after losses, you know, we're reminded that we got 269 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: to get our stuff together. 270 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 7: Christian, So at this point, it's not a surprise that 271 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 7: the Mac plays really well. But when you think back 272 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 7: to when he signed, did you ever any idea he 273 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 7: could be this good? 274 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: I think when you watch him in OTAs and you 275 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: watch him throughout training camp, you know, and that's he's 276 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: made a Pro Bowl on other teams, you know, everybody 277 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: he's a you know, hell of a quarterback and somebody 278 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: that has proven it day in and day out. So 279 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: that's one of the beauties of this team. And we 280 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: do have depth. You know, Brocks an unbelievable player, and 281 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: when he goes down, to have somebody like that come 282 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: up is huge for us. 283 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 9: That's good, Thank you. 284 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: Thanks all right. 285 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 6: I'll see you want to win the game, but individually 286 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 6: complete at eighty five percent today, it's a pretty good defense. 287 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 6: Are you getting more comfortable in this scheme? Is that 288 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 6: why we're seeing that percentage your climb? 289 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's the goal to be above that sixty five 290 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 9: or more percent. Just keep moving the ball and didn't 291 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 9: start fast like last week. We started pretty well and 292 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 9: then we played them the first time. We're up fourteen zero, 293 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 9: so if that wasn't the case this time, and definitely 294 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 9: just want to keep throwing completions and let the guys 295 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 9: do the work and once I get rid of the ball, 296 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 9: that's when we can get yards. So I know that 297 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: and that's that's important. Much to the offensive line play 298 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 9: a factor and that no sacks allowed today. 299 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awesome. 300 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 9: I mean, I know we emphasized it and they did 301 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 9: a great job just keeping the energy throughout the game. 302 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 9: It's not an easy game to play when you get 303 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 9: down and felt like we had a chance there to 304 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 9: at least get close to match and scores and we didn't. 305 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 9: But the offensive line did a great job in the 306 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 9: run game and obviously in the past game as well, George. 307 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: Just said a lot and he said again today it's 308 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: on the offense. You got to put a lot of 309 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: points open. And you know what's happened to the defense. 310 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: I imagine this has been a message throughout the offensive unit. 311 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: What kind of responsibility does have to put on you 312 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: as the quarterback and put on everybody to know we 313 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: got to score points here? 314 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. 315 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 9: I don't really think about scoring points. I think about 316 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 9: doing my job on each play, and those come with 317 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 9: doing your job. If you can stack up good drives 318 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 9: and get it down to the red zone, then you 319 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 9: get a chance. Like obviously I want to score points, 320 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 9: but I'm not sitting there like thinking about that. I'm 321 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 9: thinking about doing my part, and I think that's how 322 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 9: we can be better. When everyone, all eleven guys do 323 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 9: their job correctly, then the points will come. And I 324 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 9: know we want to get to that thirty three point mark. 325 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 9: And once you do that, you feel pretty good as 326 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 9: an offense, like you you played well enough to give 327 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 9: yourself a chance. So definitely want to continue to grow 328 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 9: in that area. But it starts with execution and in 329 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 9: the process really over results like. 330 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: This is it is it indicative of showing how competitive 331 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: the NFC West is. 332 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely. It's a really tough conference my first year 333 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 9: playing in it, and you know, at this point we 334 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 9: got to try and win every game we play in 335 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 9: and our backs are going to be against the wall again, 336 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 9: so see what we do. 337 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 8: What did you think at Georgia's touchdown catching? Did it 338 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 8: look like he was in bounce when got it? 339 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know. 340 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 9: I asked him like I always do, like the did 341 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 9: you hit it or not? And he's like, yeah, I 342 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 9: got it. So from there we just picked our two 343 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 9: point play and then didn't execute on that. But he 344 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 9: made a great play making the touchdown and dive in 345 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 9: and had a bunch of good catches in the game, 346 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 9: tight coverage, they were holding them stuff, So he did 347 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 9: a good job. 348 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 7: People, quarterbacks in your situation would like sign a one 349 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 7: year contract in March and be a career reset and 350 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 7: then you know, see what happens, you know and create 351 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 7: and see you signed a two year deal. Why was that? 352 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 9: It's kind of a random question, but I think like 353 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 9: it was what was presented to me. And I wanted 354 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 9: to get back to having fun playing football, and I 355 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 9: think I've done that and today wasn't as fun, obviously, 356 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 9: but I still believe that we have the right guys 357 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 9: in this locker room, and I wanted to get around 358 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 9: the good organization that believes in the players, and that's 359 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 9: coaches I believe in the players, and players that I 360 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 9: believe in the players. So I feel like we have 361 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 9: the right guys. I've just been really fortunate to be 362 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 9: here this year, and I want to just try and 363 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 9: find ways to win games for us, and that's all 364 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 9: I'm I'm here to do and the future will take 365 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 9: care of itself. 366 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 7: Maybe another random question, but I mean, I think you've 367 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 7: establish the fact that you are obviously can be a 368 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 7: high caliber at NFL starting quarterback. If you thought much 369 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 7: about last year, I mean, excuse me next year and 370 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 7: you know what BET might present for you. 371 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean not too much, to be honest. I 372 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 9: really just try to take it day by day, and 373 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 9: I set goals out for myself this year to be 374 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 9: ready to play when my number was called, and I 375 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 9: got to continue to do that. And I want to 376 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 9: work on things and get better each day. And I've 377 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 9: never tried to look ahead. It's hard not to, but 378 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 9: I never want to do that. I want to focus 379 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 9: on each week and I know how challenging the NFL is, 380 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 9: just having played for a couple of years, and I 381 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 9: feel like we have a young team that needs leadership 382 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 9: right now and my goal is to lead them and 383 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 9: get ready for Arizona. 384 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 7: I like, what kind of impacted Fred Warner being in 385 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 7: the locker room? 386 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 6: Sorry said and Fred Warner in the locker have impacted it? 387 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 4: Have? Oh? 388 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, that was awesome just to see those guys and 389 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 9: had a few injuries here and guys are stepping up, 390 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 9: but just to have their presence and seeing them before 391 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 9: the game, just stapping them up and saying what's up 392 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 9: just always lifts the vibes. And I know they want 393 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 9: to be out there and they obviously can't, but they're 394 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 9: doing everything they can to get healthy and be there 395 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 9: for the young players on our team. 396 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: Mac. 397 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 6: Do the Rams do any different today? It seemed like 398 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 6: they had a lot of a lot of two deep 399 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 6: safety looks. Yeah, that was that more than the first 400 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 6: time around. 401 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: A little bit. 402 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 9: I mean, I think that was kind of their plan. 403 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 9: They knew they have a great offense and the first 404 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 9: game they just spun the dial on us and played 405 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 9: a bunch of different coverages, but yeah, this this time 406 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 9: was definitely more split safety show and keep it in 407 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 9: front of them, just make us drive it, And it's 408 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 9: kind of been the theme here. We've played a lot 409 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 9: of defenses like that. So they're really good team and 410 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 9: they just had our number today, but it wasn't our 411 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 9: day and doesn't mean it can't be our day soon. 412 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 4: You mentioned the need for leadership on this young team, 413 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: especially on defense, So Fred and Nick, is that a 414 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: process from as far as you can tell, like that 415 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 4: it's going to naturally take time where you have to 416 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 4: figure out who to look to without two big talents 417 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: and leaders on that set. 418 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think this happens with every team, right you 419 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 9: might lose somebody that's a leader and the person that's 420 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 9: in that role has to step up and do their 421 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 9: job really well. But I believe that it's all done 422 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 9: during the week and you put all the work in 423 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 9: and the haze and the barn, and once you go 424 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 9: out there, you should feel confident. And whoever leads on 425 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 9: game today, that's great, but really it comes throughout the 426 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 9: week as well, and I feel like we have good 427 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 9: guys on our team that are stepping up doing that 428 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 9: and For me, it's about doing my job and coming 429 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 9: to work every day positive and I feel like that's 430 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 9: how I lead. I'm not going to change and I 431 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 9: don't think anybody else would change either. 432 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: The play before the interception, it was by offset, but 433 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 5: it looked like verset decked. 434 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: You're pretty good. 435 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know. I just thought it was bang 436 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 9: bang play. But it's a good hit. Didn't didn't affect anything, 437 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 9: so uh yeah, obviously would wish we got that there 438 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 9: and then the next play wouldn't happened. All right, Thanks, 439 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 9: thank you,
