1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Saying, what what what do you mean to get off 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: to a great start of the big rival opening night? 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot tough team, a great team. 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 2: It's always a tough challenge. We go against Dallas and 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: we know how good the NFC, he says, And it's 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: important to get a fast start. Just that's that's just 7 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: how the season goes. You see how helpful it was 8 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: to his last year. But it's gonna be a tough game, 9 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: like I said, and you know, I feel we got 10 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: a great game plan and at the end of day, 11 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 2: we gotta go out there and execute. 12 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: Do you think too much will be placed on it? 13 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: Like if if you win, uh, then you're going to 14 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. If you lose, then the seasons people, I. 15 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: Think, Yeah, I think the media and everyone outside win 16 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: the loss is gonna you know, it's going to overreact 17 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: no matter what. 18 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: But for us, I don't. 19 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: I don't see what's doing that. I don't think coach 20 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 2: would even allow that. I don't see that. The players 21 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: in his locker room have that mindset. We take it 22 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: day by day, one game at a time. We'll play 23 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: the time, uh, but we're excited.

But for for 31 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: us and for myself, you know, it's important to take 32 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: that next step because that's the game that we have 33 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: this week. That's that's the that's the mindset and the 34 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: focus we have. That's opponent that we have. Understand we 35 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: weren't able to beat h Dallas and Philly last year, but. 36 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: That was last year. It's a whole new year and 37 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: we got a great opportunity in front of us. Some 38 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: we gotta take a match of it. What's your mindset? 39 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: Like last year for your program about your mindset? What 40 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: is the coming of this year? I mean similar to 41 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: what it was last year. 42 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: Obviously, everyone my contract stuff and everything was public and 43 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: talked about, and you know, I return on TV, I'm 44 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: seeing myself being talked about. 45 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: But for me, like all that's in the past. 46 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: Like I said, uh, once I made that mindset to 47 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: come here, you gotta be mature about it, no hard 48 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: feelings about it. So now my back is against the 49 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: wall again.
