You know, as a player, you have to 333 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: catch ebbs and flows in the game, but you have 334 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: to be you know, you're dealt with what you delt. 335 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: You have to work with what you work with. I mean, 336 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: there's just gonna there's gonna be things that happened that 337 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: you can't control, whether that be coaches trying to move 338 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: towards younger players, whether that be a D line coach 339 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: who you know relies more on scheme than than players' abilities. 340 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: It is what it is. You've got to Last week 341 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: we had a whole head coaching change, and you hate 342 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: to see, hate to see that we couldn't win with 343 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen because Dennis how has been my guy for 344 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: many years. Great great guy, great DC, and we wanted 345 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: them to be a great coach, and I wish we 346 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: would have won more. It's like two years in a row, 347 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: you've got, you know, your starting quarterback who's been injured 348 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: for multiple weeks two times. That's tough to win with that. 349 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: This year definitely hit by the the injury bug. I mean, 350 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: both of our starting receivers not here right now. You know, 351 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: hopefully one back. We talk about, you know, office of 352 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: lineman being office of line being gutted early on this season, 353 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: dbs in and out linebackers. You know, you need a 354 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: guy like Pete Werner. The injuries, injuries take us toll, 355 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: but you have to be able to find a way 356 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: to win, and when you don't, the message is lader clear. 357 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: Jobs are not safe in the league. It's at the 358 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: end of the day, the NFL is a business. I 359 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: always try to get younger, cheaper, and try to win more. 360 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if that correlates, because you need good vets, 361 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: you need but players that you know can play, and 362 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, you need that healthy list of 363 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: young and upcoming guys that you're nursery. You know, It's 364 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: just it's a part of the business. Darren Rizzy takes 365 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: over this past week and automatically he starts changing everything 366 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: from the locker configuration to how we sit in meetings, 367 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: how shoot, how active we're in the meetings. We spend 368 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: more time going through walkthroughs than focusing on, you know, 369 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: the length of film. My guy, Brian Young takes over 370 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: for the d D line was a D lineman in 371 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: the league. That's another thing, you know, when you have 372 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: a guy who's in a position, a position coach, and 373 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: he's younger, he's got vitality, he's got energy, he's played 374 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: that position, versus a guy who has coached a position 375 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: before or whatever else and has success but has never 376 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: truly played at a high level at that position. It's 377 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: just a different mindset, mentality, perception as well. As you know, 378 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: you you out of actually know like man, he said, 379 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: this is works and it's going to work because he 380 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: knows that feel. There's a different from you know, being 381 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: able to create assimilation versus living that simulated play. And 382 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: I think you know he's able to relate to defensive 383 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: line and he's always been a good coach. And now 384 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: you see him. You see brother b Why as a 385 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: d line calls a big big brother b why uh 386 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: to take over And I think you have to say 387 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: with that baritone, by the way, big brother b why 388 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: Brian Young as our defensive line coach has been a 389 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: great situation. Uh give me two claps of the woo 390 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: up in this thing? Who every flair hype just for 391 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: everything from practice to meetings to whatever. Rizzy came in 392 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: was like, look, whatever we thought was gonna work has 393 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: been working. We got to shake things up to see 394 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: if this is gonna be our way and came in 395 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: and nah, ain't no status quo. He came in was 396 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: like status on go uh And that's what you sort 397 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: of know from Rizzy. Rizzy has been a part of 398 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: our organization for like six years and especial teams coordinator. 399 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 1: But I mean the last couple of years, people been 400 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: trying to poach Rizzy to be a head coach. He was, 401 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, before we hired Da. I'm pretty sure he 402 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: was in the process of trying to be a head 403 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: coach for us there. So he's getting a shot now 404 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: his interim head coach. Wish, you know, wish he had 405 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: a healthy rosters to see if we can see it, 406 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: but you can see his potential. You felt the energy 407 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: on the on the sidelines, the way everybody's fired up. 408 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: We wanted this win. We want all these wins. Seven 409 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: games left. We have to find a way to win. 410 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: We have to be able to get after the quarterback. 411 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: We have to be able to straight man rush. We 412 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 1: have to be able to cover guys number ones, even 413 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: though we lose our number one corner Marshaw Latt to 414 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: a trade last week, which is, you know, crazy. You 415 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: can't replace a guy like Marshawn. He's over at the 416 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, who will see later this year, so he's 417 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: gonna be healthy and raring to show out. It's not 418 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: what you want to see, but we'll talk about that 419 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: when we get there.

We felt it in the atmosphere. 436 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, you have Pope Francis come up and talk 437 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: about the Saints. I don't think intentionally, but there was 438 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: there was some tweets. I think I retweeted one. You know, 439 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: there was some some tweets from from from from the Pope. 440 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: I may not be a Catholic, but I understand that, 441 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, the Lord is always on our side.

You know, we we 443 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: knew we we couldn't lose, and all we could do 444 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: was win. You know what Pope Francis said, let me 445 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: he said to say, He said, we cannot become Saints 446 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: with a frown. We must have joyful hearts that remain 447 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: open to hope. Guess what, there's seven games left. There's 448 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: a whole lot of hope. Head coach changed again, Deli 449 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: position coach changed.

Saints Nation gonna rock. Oh. Speaking of 459 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: the game, you know what a guy that I know, 460 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: a guy who's been a pro bowler, all pro one 461 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: of the best to do it, we will say, is 462 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: officially the best at the best running back who ever 463 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: do it. Alvin Kamura of course, six thousand, five hundred 464 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: and forty four career rushing yards to break. I think 465 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: going into the game he needed twelve yards to break 466 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: another running back who you know my guy would for 467 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: mark Ingram at sixty five hundred, you know, to become 468 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: the all time the Saints all time leading rusher. It's 469 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: just you know, Aka is special. From jump. I remember 470 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: there was there was time and when we first drafted 471 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: this kid out of Tennessee, which I just thought it 472 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: was a simple Tennessee kid running back, and I was like, 473 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: you know what, he got a welcome to the league. 474 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm about to smack him. This practice we went live 475 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: and I went to I went to like obliterate Ak 476 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: as he was headed towards the sideline, Bro. And when 477 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I tell you, like I gave him everything. I came 478 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: down hit him with that ooh wee same foot saint 479 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: shoulder blasted him, you know at the time, two hundred 480 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: and ninety pounds solid rock. Ak Bro like it sort 481 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: of sort of like bounced back in the air, and 482 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: I like I gave like everything. I was like, oh yeah, 483 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: give him that ooh and he lands on his back 484 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: foot and like had he not let it out of bounce, 485 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: he would have took off again. And I was like, oh, 486 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 1: his balance is special. His strides are dece evingly fast, 487 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: ak all day special. Now, It's just it's crazy how 488 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: things work. So by the way, the Saints win, and 489 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: we got to go ahead and win again and try 490 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: and win again, and win again and win again and win, win, 491 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: win the seven games left. I think that was for 492 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: seven wins. I mean, that would be great to go 493 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: seven to oh this last stretch of the season.
