1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Logan, I want to ask you about Nico Laylos. Obviously 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: a great diving interception there, and then I think he 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: held up the tight end for you to come over 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: and knock the ball out. So what does it say 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: about And I was on the practice squad two days 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: ago to make a huge playlist too huge plays like that. Oh, 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: Nico man happy for him first career start interception shout 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: out from Lebron. I don't think it's better for that 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: than that. Um. He works extremely hard Nkos there early. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: He's one of the early birds, part of the crew, 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: the early risers, so he put a lot of working 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: and I think he was elevated today because we needed him. 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: I think he was elevated today because of his work 14 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: ethic each and every day on scout team he plays 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: offense and defense. UM, and I think I'm happy he 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: was rewarded today. It's it's a great story, all right, Logan. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: When Daniel goes out with you know, midway through the 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: third quarter, do you guys look around on the defense 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: and say, you know, it's up to us to kind 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: of hold off to this. Now we always feel like 21 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: a up to us. It doesn't it didn't matter. I mean, 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: I wish the best for Daniel. I hope it all 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: comes back clean. But defensively, good defenses travel. We gotta 24 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: pack it up on the road and and set the tone. 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the offense is doing. Um, we 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: gotta get it done on defense. And a lot of 27 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: us are on defense on that on, A lot of 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: us are on kickoff on that kickoff return, a lot 29 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: of defensive players are on there. So that's on us 30 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: to make it up and we're just trying to hunt 31 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: the ball and play good defense. We're able to get 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: it out in the second half and really hold on 33 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: to that one that he Loogan. Um. You know, and 34 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I know you you signed a one year deal with 35 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: the Giants. You know, you don't know what your future 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: holds and all that.

Definitely. I'm Jersey 43 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: made It's been a blessing for me to be here. 44 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: A lot of things had to happen for me personally 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: in free agency for this situation to come up. As 46 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: we know it, it's extremely weird year. But UM, I 47 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: always trust UM the process, trust from I'm Matt.

I got thirty some days left 53 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: in this season, this regular season, and I've made the 54 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: postseason a lot in my career.

This is These are 110 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: opportunities coming up for you guys, to be the team 111 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: of the winning record. Uh do you feel like this 112 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: team has something to prove in that regard? I don't 113 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: care if a team is oh and twelve. I'm trying 114 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: to win. I don't care what their record is. You know, Look, 115 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: I said winning is a mentality, and obviously we didn't 116 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: start the year hot. Um that's okay, But I believe 117 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: that years of losing can can bring some type of culture, 118 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: bring some type of otis over a team. And we've 119 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: dug ourselves out of that hole. We're not front runners. 120 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: We start in the back of the pack and now 121 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the pack and it's our 122 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: job to finish strong. I don't want anybody. I don't 123 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: want to play with anybody that starts fast and doesn't finish. 124 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: We didn't start fast, but we worked and we believed 125 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: and that's where we are now. I don't know what 126 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: their records are, Line them up, we gotta play them. 127 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: Is not the team from beginning. It's not the team 128 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: to play Pittsburgh in Week one. You know that, watched 129 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: the film. So we gotta play. We gotta play, and 130 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll have a winning record one day, but I'm 131 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: taking the one game at a time.
