1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Tell everyone we've been talking about for the last month. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: You seem to have your legs going, you seem to 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: have that run game going. And today it was hard 4 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: for seventy plus yards. But I thought it was an 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: effective run game, even though the fasting game wasn't really 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: working so well. 7 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think we had a good plan. 8 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: The online coach, you know, tight ends coach, they came together, 9 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: put it, put together a great plan for the run game, 10 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: and we went out there and executed. 11 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: How much did you know about the run game being 12 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: the heavy part of the game plan going into the week. 13 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you knew they were gonna blitz a lot, right, 14 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: but you couldn't have anticipated the wind was going to 15 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: be as cold and as effective as it was. So 16 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: what was the thought going in with the run game? 17 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we knew that we was gonna run 18 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: the ball. I think as as running backs we want, 19 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: these are the type of game that we want just 20 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: because of the They're relying on us to make a 21 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: play and they're relying on us in the run game 22 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: to get the offense going. And that's you know, we 23 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: carry our pride of that type of pride within our 24 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: room just to be the motor of the offense and 25 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: continue to get first out the first down and tried 26 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: to skip third nowns. 27 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: I think today you. 28 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: Know within the run game and we did that all right. 29 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: Now. You knew coming in you're gonna run it a lot, 30 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: but you also know that when you do try to 31 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: throw it, they're gonna be applying a lot of heat. 32 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: You knew that your left guard, your starting left guard, 33 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 1: Runion was out before the game, and yet you guys 34 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: as running backs have to helping that pass protection. How 35 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: well do you think you did with that, because even 36 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: though you didn't throw it much, you also didn't gain a. 37 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: Lot of you arch, Yeah, I think I think we did. 38 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: We did find protection at Obviously you can always clean 39 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: the stuff up from our room. 40 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: I had a hold in affenity. 41 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: But for the most part, I think you know, when 42 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: our number was called, we heard of our our end 43 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 2: of the bargain. But I think overall, as the offense, 44 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: we just have to clean up the little details be 45 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: more efficient when you know the type of blitzes present 46 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: themselves in the game. 47 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: What was the most difficult part about the last offensive 48 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: drive that you guys had when you were trying to 49 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: go down for the tig field goal and then wound 50 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: up turning it over run down to real. 51 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: Weally noting difficult about it. To be honest, I think 52 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: we had the right play calls in the play calusing 53 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: me personally, I got to get more out of some 54 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: of the runs that we had within that last drive. 55 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I think when when the ball 56 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: comes your way and you know, you have the opportunity 57 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: to see the moment, Yeah, sees the moment, and I 58 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: think that overall we as a as an officer unit, 59 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: we have to do better at that general. 60 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Thanks for time, Yeah, thank you. Yeah. 61 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: I think fifteen straight runs to start to start the game, 62 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: did you was that wanting to balance out the blitz 63 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: of the Viking? 64 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: It's just the wind? 65 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: Was that? 66 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: What do you think that was? 67 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: I mean, when you start the game off with thirty 68 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: yard bomb and another fifteen yard bomb, you you want 69 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: to run the ball as much as you can. I 70 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: think we had a good plan coming out, you know, 71 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: to hammer the ball and just really just give in 72 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: to our running backs and allow us to work. And 73 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: as I said, I think that that was working well 74 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: throughout the first half. I think that we just kind 75 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: of slowed down, you know, as the game went on, 76 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: they wanted to have time. They made some adjustments. Like 77 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: I said, they had some great coaching tips on theyself. 78 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: How hard is it to go against that defense? I mean, 79 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: obviously you have to pick up blitzes as a as 80 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: a running back. I mean how hard is it when 81 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: they're coming from all different angles and whatnot. 82 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't even I wouldn't say it's hard. 83 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: I think we just got to rely on unique. Maybe yeah, 84 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 2: it's unique, it's unique as definitely unique. But at the 85 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: same time, like we have rules in place throughout the week, 86 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: you know, we go out and EXE, that's really it. 87 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: Like I wouldn't I wouldn't say it's hard at all. 88 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: I think that we'd have to rely all the things 89 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: that you know we was talking throughout the week. You know, 90 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: on Sunday got to execute. 91 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: What was the mindset in the huddle there the last 92 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: time you guys said the ball they go ahead sixteen thirteen, 93 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: you guys get out midfield. What was set in the 94 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: huddle there or what was. 95 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: Like the energy make a play, make a play was 96 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: the same energy that we had the whole game. It 97 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: wasn't nothing different, and go out there making play. Somebody 98 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: make a play, and then you know we back in it. 99 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: You know, I think that we didn't. We didn't waiver 100 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: as an offense. Like whatever happened, that happened, And we 101 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: just have to go out there each and ever snap 102 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: thinking the exact same way as we did in the 103 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: first quarter, and that with that first snap and the 104 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: last quarter of the last time, like you don't it 105 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: doesn't matter, you know what the situation is. 106 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: And then last for you, I mean, it seems like 107 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: you individually and now focus on the individual. It seems 108 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: like you're finishing the season pretty strong. How important is 109 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: that to you? 110 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it's important to me, man, But I mean 111 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: the most poortant thing is winning. It don't matter how 112 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: many you know, the yards I get. It doesn't matter 113 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: how many touchdowns I get. Man, everything's feels better when 114 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: you win. And if I get, you know, one touchdown, 115 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: but I only have twenty yards, but we win, that's 116 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: a really great feeling. Like last week, I had two 117 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: toes but we lost, Like yes, cool to say I 118 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: had two touchdowns, but we lost the game. So it 119 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. So 120 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: I think once we start winning, everything else will obviously 121 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: feel better when we come back, and the. 122 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: Love you feel like that's gonna start out. I mean 123 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: it's ten ten last year, nine nine in a row 124 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: this year. 125 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: What's the confident about a Eventually you will start winning. 126 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you got well, if you watch the game, 127 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: man like we're close. We're close. We just got to 128 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: start finishing out the game. 129 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: That's really it.
