1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Hey, dev how are you doing doing well? How about yourself? 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Very good? Very good? Guys always say winning it is contagious. 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: How much can you take from the last two weeks 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully carry that over with the confidence and that 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: momentum into this week eleven showdown. I think, like I 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: said last week, it's the process. The last two weeks, 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: we've we've had good weeks to practice. We're I think 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: we're understanding what it takes to win in this league. 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: And I think it's hard early in the season when 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: you're losing and you know, you're still practicing hard and 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: you're trying to get everybody to commit to that and 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: understand that's the reason why you win games, um. And 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, like anything, it's hard to understand that when 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: you're not winning the game at the end of the day. 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: Like I said before, we were having those kind of 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: hard fought losses, and I said, if we can turn 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: those in the hard fought winsum, it makes it easier 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: to come in each week and practice because you know, 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: you know what the end result means when you put 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: in the work. So it's felt really good, and you 21 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: know I said that to the guys today. I felt 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: good Sunday night to go out there and beat a 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: good football team. And we understood how hard it was 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: sixty minutes. And if we want that feeling, we got 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: to just repeat the process. So winning is contagious if 26 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: you keep putting the work and keep completing the process. 27 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: And like Bill's told us you know for years, is 28 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: you got to fill up the gas tank every week, 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: and that gets filled up by hard weeks of practice 30 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: and then empty it on Sunday. I'm gonna get ready 31 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: to do it again next week. It just a quick 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: follow up. What do you say for a guy that 33 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: you had an interception street last year at the beginning 34 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: of the season. What do you say to j C. 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: Jackson with his current streak? Nothing, I got nothing to 36 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: do with while he got him. Just let him keep 37 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. He doesn't need to hear anything 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: from me. Thanks that. Thanks question Mike Giardi, followed by 39 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Dan Roache The Good Evening Death. I wanted to ask 40 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: you about Deshaun Watson and perhaps get preparing for Lamar 41 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: sort of help you sort of in that mindset of 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: another mobile quarterback like Sean who can obviously make plays 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: with both the yarm and the and the legs, no 44 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: doubt about it. We got a streak of m probably 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: you know, easily top five most dangerous quarterbacks and you're 46 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: talking about dude threat Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, and Kyler Murray. 47 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: We'll see next week. UM, And I would say, you know, 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: each week we're just it helps. We're seeing, um, guys 49 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: that are very dangerous throwing the football, but you know 50 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: as dangerous when they when they tucking and going. UM. 51 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: I think the thing that sticks out with Deshaun Watson 52 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: is how many times he kind of either in the 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: pocket or running gets hit and um, you can tell 54 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: how strong is you know, even last week the Cleveland game, Um, 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: it looks like it definitely should be a sack and 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: he's able to throw the over out why kind of 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: getting tackled and falling. Um, So I would say he 58 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: has really good strength lower body and upper body strength. 59 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: UM that you don't always see guys had that when 60 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: they can move as well as he does. So, UM, 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: he definitely you know creates you know, just as a 62 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: big of a threat that we had last week Lamar Jackson, 63 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson's We'll see some of those same 64 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: things Sunday, and if I could follow up and just 65 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: push you on the spot a little bit. Bill said 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of wonderful things about you today, which for 67 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: those of us that know you, we're scratching our head 68 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. But he did say that you you 69 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: helped make guys around you better. Well, I guess what 70 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: does that mean? I mean that was sort of almost 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: like the ultimate compliment, that you're able to do something 72 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: like that and have your coach recognized that when Devin's 73 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: out there, we as a secondary or better, and we 74 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: as a defensive unit are better. I think one of 75 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: the biggest things that helped me playing safety, honestly was 76 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: playing corner first. I think when I first moved to safety, UM, 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: I understood the challenges and some of the weaknesses and coverages, 78 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: UM and how hard a job those guys have so 79 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: m whether it's with body presence, disguise, m you know, 80 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: when I first moved to safety, you know, I kind 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: of worked on that and understood that the most. And 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: then I would say, over the last couple of years, 83 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: I've understood more about the running game and how to 84 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: help guys out and what calls and stuff to make 85 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: and how to be on the same page as our linebackers. 86 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Whether that's been bent or t haul. Um, it's been helped. 87 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: It's helped me out a lot. So UM, I think 88 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: you put that together with the years of experience playing 89 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: football here in this same system. UM, I've been able to, 90 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, just echo and say some of the things 91 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: that I've heard Bills say over the last eleven years, 92 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: or the all the defensive coaches that we've had. So UM, 93 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's a great it's a great compliment I have. 94 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: I think as a football player, especially in this defense 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: at the safety position, a lot of your position, a 96 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: lot of your role depends on your communication, UM, and 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: helping guys get in what we want to get in. 98 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: And as Mayo taught me when I was a young 99 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: player and I got here, UM, there's no wrong call 100 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: as long as we're all playing the same call. And 101 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: UM that's something I just continue to try to do. 102 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna think just a couple more questions. We're gonna 103 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: go with Dan Roach in the in the ko Yang right, 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: having just a two part question. One is this is 105 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: the sixth straight year I think that you're playing the Texans. 106 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: How familiar are with them? Do they feel like an 107 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: AFC East team almost? And also what's it like to 108 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: go up against the guy like praying to cook to 109 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: you know very well from his time spent year. Yeah, 110 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Texans is kind of a double whammy 111 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: with you know, playing them so many times even though 112 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: they're not a division opponent. And then also all of 113 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: the New England ties you know, to the coaching staff 114 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: and obviously some of the players and personnel people in 115 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the building, so we definitely know them well, and I 116 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: would say from on a reverse side, they know us well. 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: So um, it's always competitive game. There's not really going 118 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: to be much you know, out scheming and stuff because 119 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: I would say both teams kind of know what you 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: not just what you do this year, but what you've done, 121 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: you know from a coaching standpoint over the course of 122 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: their whole career. So very competitive game, and you know, 123 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: love competing against Cooks. One of the best people I've 124 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to be around. Works extremely hard, really 125 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: motivates and inspires other guys around him just by his 126 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: work ethic and then off the it was just just 127 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: a really good person, you know, I know for him, 128 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: personally being a father this year and taking that on 129 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: and talking to him every once in a while throughout 130 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: the season the offseason. Happy for him that he's found 131 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: another home in Houston. And we'll make Nicole Yang the 132 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: last question. Go ahead and Nicole Hey Nevin, I was 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: just curious how much you've kept in touch with Patrick 134 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: Chung this season and what you've heard from him from 135 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: afar um just talking to him every once in a while. 136 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: I think I was talking about this a couple of 137 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Whether it's been him or High Tower or 138 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: be Bolden or Cannon. Um. You know, a lot of 139 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: times we talk to those guys. It's really not even 140 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: about you know, football and the things that are going 141 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: on here, especially with High and Chung. You know, new 142 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: babies in the house and talking to you know, specifically 143 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: Chung about how he got used to getting good sleep 144 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: at night. You know, his oldest son, Taj is like 145 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: ten and now you get that newborn in there and 146 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the long nights in different things like that. So Um, 147 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: he's even sent some videos of his baby girl crying 148 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: and everything. So U from my knowledge, he's doing well. 149 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: He's enjoying some of the free time of you know, 150 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: being a new girl dad, and you know he really 151 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: seems like he's enjoying it.
