1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Jack soon.

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 2: What's it like in your three starts, you guys have

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: scored on your opening drive and all three starts prior

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: to that the team had a hard time scoring drives.

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: What do you see different in the team right now? Yeah,

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean I try to talk about it in the

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: week of just how important it is to start fast,

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's a great tone center of

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: the game, and especially getting the big boys rolling up front,

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: so you know, that's that's definitely really important to to

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: come out and score on that drive, you know, and

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: then give the defense the chance to go match it.

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: So it was big for us.

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, with what you guys are trying to build, going

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: up against a team like Philly just won the Super

16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: Bowl last year, to have this performance today, what type

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: of message do you guys.

18
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Think you sent. Well, you know, first of all, we

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: can't be naive to you know, everything, so we we

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: hear what people say, and uh, definitely like lights of

21
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: fire in us. And you know, me and Scott talked about,

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, like last week we felt like it was

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of just like on us, you know, losing that

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: game and we felt like we moved the ball just fine.

25
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: So you know, our big EMPs. This was just to

26
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that we take care of the ball,

27
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and we felt like, you know, if we do that,

28
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: then we're going to be able to move the ball

29
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: up the field. So I'm just really proud of how

30
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: the guys played. And I think that, you know, we're

31
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: just trying to set a standard of intensity here each

32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: and every day. What do you mean by what people say?

33
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: You said? You said, what people say what specifically stood

34
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: out that that urged you guys? Well, I just think that, like,

35
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's like a you know, at times, there's

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, some negativity that's surrounding here, and you know,

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: for for us, like you know, some of the new

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: guys that are coming here, like, you know, we just

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: got here, so you know, we don't feel like we

40
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: were involved in the past. And we got a lot

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: of winners on this team and guys who come out

42
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: every single day and work their ass off to put

43
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: on a good showing on Sundays, and I feel like

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: we're just connected, and you know, we just had some

45
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: games that you know, at times in those moments where

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: it just hasn't gone our way, and we just feel

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: like we're you know, we do feel like we're a

48
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: really good team. We have good players, so you know,

49
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: we're just trying to trying to win games. We're just

50
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: trying to stay you know, internal and uh and stay

51
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: connected each and every day.

52
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: So what does it mean to you cam have the

53
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: same kind of response game that you did have the

54
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: turnover last week?

55
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: You guys actually delivered. Yeah, I mean, Scott, just have

56
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of talks, man, Like you know, we sit

57
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: next to each other on the plane back. So it

58
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: definitely hurt us last week a lot, and you know,

59
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: because we felt like we should have we absolutely should

60
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: have won that game. And so you know, we had

61
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: talks during the week and we just kept telling each

62
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: other like we got each other, like, you know, we're

63
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: gonna lay it all on the line each and every

64
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: play for each other. And you know, we try to

65
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: message that to our teammates as much as possible. And

66
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, we we know that, you know, everybody's going

67
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: to rally around each other, you know, the more that

68
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: we have performances like this and uh so we can't

69
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: get too high, we can't get too low. The most

70
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: important thing is the next play, the next moment, and

71
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: for us, it's gonna be this next game. Do you

72
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: think this was a statement. Do you think this was

73
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: a statement not too high, not too low? But was

74
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: this a statement against a team? Yeah, I mean it

75
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: absolutely is, because you know, you have to have a

76
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: lot of respect for that team. They just come off

77
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: of winning the Super Bowl. They're the top team in

78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: the league, and you know, quite honestly, like nobody really

79
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: expected us to put up a performance like this, And

80
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, as a locker room, as teammates, like, you know,

81
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: we felt confident and uh, you know, we try to

82
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: play hard for each other. We're not trying to make

83
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: statements like, We're just trying to play for each other

84
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: and win games. So you know, we want to find

85
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: an identity and I felt like we we did a

86
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: good job of putting that a little bit together tonight.

87
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: What would what would that identity be? How would you

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: just read you know, you know, just as a team, like,

89
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: we're trying to finish, like in everything that we do,

90
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: like finish through the whistle, you know, in the fourth quarter,

91
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: you know when it's time to you know, see, you

92
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: know what teams are about. You know, we want to finish,

93
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: and we have opportunities to win games. We have to

94
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: take advantage of that, you know, shout out to our defense,

95
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: like made an amazing play, And I felt like that

96
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: was a huge swing for our team. And so everybody

97
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: was involved in this, and uh, you know, we're just

98
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: trying to We're just trying to be a tough noose team.

99
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: The first time you had a short week as an

100
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: NFL player, what was that preparation like going into the game.

101
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Well, it was kind of similar to you know, I

102
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: played in the egg ball in college, so we had

103
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: short weeks, so I kind of compared it to that,

104
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: But it was definitely you know, there's a lot more

105
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: that goes into the game plan in the NFL, so

106
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: it was a loaded week. But you know, I have

107
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: a great supporting cast around me, great coaches, great teammates

108
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: who really bought into this game plan. And I just

109
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: felt like we were did a really good job of

110
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: just staying on the same page, and you know, we

111
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: felt confident in the game plan and we were able

112
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: to go out there and play fast.

113
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: Actually, uh, you finished four for four in the red tonight.

114
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: What was the key?

115
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: What was Why are you so successful in the red zones?

116
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: I feel like the last three weeks, we've gotten better

117
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: at it. And I think that we're just trying to

118
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: use the whole field, like we're trying to get everybody involved,

119
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: and guys are just executing. And you know that starts

120
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: with our offensive line, Like you have to be able

121
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to run the ball in the red zone, and they've

122
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: been able to get really good pushes and we lean

123
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: on those guys and we got running backs who run

124
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: really hard, and uh, you know, we we identified it

125
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: as a thing that we struggled on early in the year.

126
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: So we're just going to try to stay consistent with that.

127
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: As you're protecting yourself sometimes as opposed to getting the

128
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: extra yard.

129
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: And is there is there something the way when when

130
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you're diving for first down? Definitely answer this question a lot,

131
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: But there's just situations where if it's third down, I'm

132
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: going to get the first down and that's important to me,

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: that's important to the team. We have to keep the

134
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: drives alive. And was there maybe like one or two

135
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: hits today where I could have avoided. Yes, But you know,

136
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: in my mind, when I'm running the ball, you know,

137
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: I'm trying to, you know, get a few yards and

138
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: put our team in a really good situation. So I

139
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: understand that. You know, you've got to take care of

140
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: your body, and I definitely try to do my best

141
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: with that. But in situations where you know things are important,

142
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do my best to get that done.

143
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Went into the mote, the blue tent. That that seemed

144
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half for you. It felt

145
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: so long, It felt so long. What were Yeah, I

146
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: had a few guys pop in and uh, you know,

147
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: I was just trying to get back to that out

148
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: there on the field. I understand they have a protocol

149
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but I was just trying to get out

150
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: there fast. I'm tired of it, man, I'm tired of it.

151
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: Just two winds you had. The defense has really helped

152
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you out.

153
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: What does it do for you when you see guys

154
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: like Burns getting those third down stacks that interception?

155
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, we talk about it all the time in our

156
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: team meetings, like our defense is you know, you know,

157
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: done a great job of keeping us in games, you know,

158
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: even the games that we didn't win. And you know,

159
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: I feel like as a rookie quarterback, you know, to

160
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: have a defense play that hard and to make big

161
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: plays like that helps me out a lot, That helps

162
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: our whole team out a lot. And I think you

163
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: could feel like momentum shifts, especially in that second half

164
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: with how they played. So I love those guys. I

165
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: love how hard that they play. They played the chip

166
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: on their shoulder and you know they're gonna get better

167
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: each and every week. So we have a ton of

168
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: confidence in those guys. But it definitely, you know, helps

169
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: us out as a whole team when they're able to

170
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: play like that. You talked about how you know, the

171
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: younger guys have been in the past, so you can't

172
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: control what happened, But where do you think the energy

173
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: is with this team, especially in the last three weeks,

174
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: what you guys have been able to do. I just

175
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: feel like we have a little bit more like excitement,

176
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the locker room, Like we feel like

177
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: anytime we go out there on the field, anybody that

178
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: we're playing against, like, you know, we have a chance

179
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: to win. Like it doesn't matter what Vegas says, It

180
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the spread is. You know, I was

181
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: watching the Pat McAfee and they're talking about the point

182
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: spread of who's gonna win the game, and we don't

183
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: care about that stuff, Like we feel like we're confident

184
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: to go out there and put on goodformance and and

185
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: win games. Jackson.

186
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: Since you and Scataboo and Afdoor were drafted that weekend

187
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: and obviously the rest of the draft class, this organization

188
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: has talked about the attitude that you were going to

189
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: bring here. How does that manifest itself in at night?

190
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Like, Well, it's a long season, so we have to

191
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: bring it every single day. We have to try to

192
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: keep that the culture, and we have to stack wins,

193
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Like we can't have performances we play really good and

194
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: then the next game we turn the ball over five times,

195
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Like that stuff can't happen. We have to try to

196
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: be consistent. From an attitude perspective, it's it's it's kind

197
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: of the energy that we're just trying to bring here

198
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: and the intensity of coming to work every single day.

199
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I think guys are trying to do

200
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: that and rally around each other. You were talking about

201
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: that agativity that you as one of the leaders of

202
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: the team, how much you're embracing being someone going to

203
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: turn that around? Yeah, I love it. I understand that.

204
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Like the most important thing for everybody is winning and

205
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, as competitors, that's that's how we feel too.

206
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: And I feel like the city is starving for that,

207
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: and you know we are starving for that. You know,

208
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: we we hate losing. It's the worst feeling in the world.

209
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: So we try to, you know, we just try to

210
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: do our best to you know, regardless of what you

211
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: know outside noises is. We try to keep you know,

212
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: everything internal between us. And you know, I have all

213
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the confidence in the world of every single player in

214
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: this on this team, and we just got to try

215
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: to do our best to rally and stay consistent
