Speaker 1: Corey, that clock's wrong, right, So we just rent this
Speaker 1: area across that wall and we're in charge of those clocks,
Speaker 1: not these all right, guys, injuries for today, Debot will
Speaker 1: be limited. Everyone else is the same, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yes, that means Devo's shoulders feeling.
Speaker 1: A little bit enough to be limited.
Speaker 3: How we've seen how you handled the final minutes of
Speaker 3: the first half. I guess two questions. One is do
Speaker 3: you ever feel that anxiety that people in the stands
Speaker 3: feel when the clock is ticking? And how long did
Speaker 3: it take for you to kind of arrive? And that's
Speaker 3: the way you want to handle the end of first
Speaker 3: half situations.
Speaker 1: I'm just going through it all. I'm trying in nineteen
Speaker 1: and seeing our success within matchup with the twenty years
Speaker 1: of stats we got before that.
Speaker 3: On Saturday? Did it? Did it you gotta let the
Speaker 3: way you wanted to or did it a little bit
Speaker 3: too much time.
Speaker 1: Go off the clock? No, we had all the way
Speaker 1: we wanted to. You just I mean we ended up
Speaker 1: kicking it on fourth down, don't we. That's right, right? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean it has when you're thinking about that, it's
Speaker 1: not times is downs, and so the plays would have
Speaker 1: been the same on the second down before that, we
Speaker 1: tried to get an explosive and then you check it
Speaker 1: down and then it goes to third and two. And
Speaker 1: then now, if we would have not saved any time,
Speaker 1: it would have been third and two in the same
Speaker 1: situation with about I don't I can't remember exactly, but
Speaker 1: I want to guess forty seconds and now everything's down
Speaker 1: to that third and two. Now, if you don't get
Speaker 1: that third and two, now the other team has the
Speaker 1: ball back with forty seconds and three timeouts, and now
Speaker 1: it's a totally different game. At that time, we're up
Speaker 1: seven to six. Worst case scenario. I feel we're going
Speaker 1: into halftime up seven to six. I'd like it to
Speaker 1: be second worst case scenario, ten to six. No one
Speaker 1: will make the feel. We're starting with the ball in
Speaker 1: the third quarter, so we could have a chance to
Speaker 1: lap him. I still believe if we get the right look,
Speaker 1: which we almost did. The mic was just a little
Speaker 1: bit too deep. Now we're inside the ten and we
Speaker 1: have two shots at the end zone where you have
Speaker 1: a chance to go up seventeen or sorry, fourteen to six.
Speaker 1: Get the ball first in the third quarter, and now
Speaker 1: you're up twenty one to six, and the game has
Speaker 1: completely been changed for that reason. Now, we didn't get that.
Speaker 1: They didn't give us the big shot. So now we
Speaker 1: came to a third and two, Well, at least that
Speaker 1: whole half wasn't on the line. On the third and two,
Speaker 1: we knew exactly what we had. We still went for it,
Speaker 1: but we didn't get it. And now we can kick
Speaker 1: our field goal and they're never going to touch the
Speaker 1: ball again. So those are the stats. Took me a
Speaker 1: while to believe it, just like all you guys obviously,
Speaker 1: but there's too much history with it. There's too much time,
Speaker 1: and I believe that really helps us have a good record.
Speaker 4: Rocker he said he was a little overly aggressive.
Speaker 1: I guess the Packers that there were checkdowns he could
Speaker 1: have hit that he would have liked to hit. Is
Speaker 1: that something you've been talking to him about?
Speaker 3: To see the jack?
Speaker 1: Something I talked to every quarterback out every single day
Speaker 1: I've ever coached. So it's it's crazy how many questions
Speaker 1: we're getting about every one of Brock's decisions. But I'm
Speaker 1: starting to realize it because I get previewed before all this,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, sometimes when quarterbacks make bad decisions, forcing
Speaker 1: it deep. They should check it down. Sometimes when they
Speaker 1: check it down and a guy hits the guy right away,
Speaker 1: they're like, damn, I had that over the top. Brock's
Speaker 1: as good as any quarterback I've had it. Making those
Speaker 1: decisions does not mean he's perfect. Try to find me
Speaker 1: that guy.
Speaker 3: Is there a.
Speaker 4: Moment in a game this year, a practice where you
Speaker 4: see Trent Williams moving in space and just sort of
Speaker 4: marvel at how a guy that size has feet moves
Speaker 4: like he does.
Speaker 1: Almost every day except for walkthrough, refuses to bend his
Speaker 1: knees and walk through. It's more to mess with me.
Speaker 1: You should have seen his workout last week. I mean,
Speaker 1: after having a week off and him just being in
Speaker 1: their deadlift and doing box jumps and stuff, and he
Speaker 1: would have thought he was twenty four year old specimen
Speaker 1: said he's thirty five year old specimen. So I'm sure
Speaker 1: it'll be a forty year old specimen too. So trust
Speaker 1: the man has been.
Speaker 4: Through this for the last several years.
Speaker 1: Does it feel like any other week or is the
Speaker 1: magnitude of the game there. It's still a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like the playoffs. It's I mean
Speaker 1: the playoffs always feel different. Just everyone is so alert,
Speaker 1: everyone's so on it, everyone's so patient outside of here
Speaker 1: in terms of I mean, at least for me, sleep
Speaker 1: at the office if you need to, don't worry. You
Speaker 1: make sure you get it right. And I'm sure the
Speaker 1: players are the same. Everyone just knows it's it's it
Speaker 1: if you don't win. So I'd like to say you
Speaker 1: focus as hard as you can every week, but when
Speaker 1: you get to these situations, just it's a little bit
Speaker 1: different and it makes it makes a lot more fun.
Speaker 2: Last year, guys said that one of the hardest parts
Speaker 2: of swallowing that laws was how hard it is to
Speaker 2: climb the mountain again.
Speaker 1: You can't just snap your figures. How hard is it,
Speaker 1: Kyle to get back to this point you're in and
Speaker 1: your outan, I mean, it's it's very hard. It's when
Speaker 1: you go into January every year to February. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what the date is. I think it's getting
Speaker 1: close to February. It's it's just long and you know,
Speaker 1: but it's you always feel after whether you lose an
Speaker 1: MC championship, whether you lose a Super Bowl. I mean,
Speaker 1: ask anybody whether it's one of them, whether it's two
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, after that, it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that took so much and was so long to get there,
Speaker 1: How can you ever do that again? And that's why
Speaker 1: you go through your own little depression for a day,
Speaker 1: a week, couple months, whatever it is. Usually by the
Speaker 1: time March hits though, and you're starting to look at
Speaker 1: free agency, you're starting to look at the draft, you're
Speaker 1: starting to look at your board of what your team
Speaker 1: is now, how you can improve it to the next season.
Speaker 1: You always get right back there if you like what
Speaker 1: you doing, but you definitely need a break after it.
Speaker 1: Everybody does, because it's hard to do it at that
Speaker 1: high of a level, just mentally and physically for the guys,
Speaker 1: for this long of a time.
Speaker 4: Team that you have a group of guys that have
Speaker 4: been able to do it so many.
Speaker 1: Times in the last five years, I think it. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I like about our guys the most. Football
Speaker 1: is very important. I Mean, when we were a lot
Speaker 1: younger in nineteen when we did it, and you know
Speaker 1: we were we went, you know, we were second picking
Speaker 1: the draft of the four and twelve team to all
Speaker 1: of a sudden thirteen and three and going there, So
Speaker 1: it was more you didn't really know, just you didn't
Speaker 1: know what type of year it was going to be,
Speaker 1: and you kind of just fell into it. And then
Speaker 1: you come back and you think about all that stuff
Speaker 1: the next year and the next year during that COVID
Speaker 1: year and all those guys we lost up in New
Speaker 1: York and losing our quarterback and Nick and a number
Speaker 1: of people just it ended so fast, and then the
Speaker 1: COVID stuff was so weird. But then you get to
Speaker 1: the next offseason and guys just now they know how
Speaker 1: bad a season sucks when you don't do good, and
Speaker 1: how much more fun it is when you are in
Speaker 1: that and you're playing for games at the end of playoffs.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think we learned in both of
Speaker 1: those two years. And you know, we snuck in, not
Speaker 1: snuck in, but we earned to get in that last
Speaker 1: game in twenty twenty one and then made a run
Speaker 1: to get to the championship. And last year we went
Speaker 1: on a big win streak to I forget what seed
Speaker 1: we were, but guys start to get used to how
Speaker 1: how hard it is to get there, how important it
Speaker 1: is to get there. And that's why I think our
Speaker 1: veterans have been different a little but in the offseason,
Speaker 1: not necessarily just we're gonna work harder or do this
Speaker 1: or that, but it's just a little bit more deliberate
Speaker 1: in everything you do.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's it's not about just being ready for training camp.
Speaker 1: It's not about just winning a job. It's it's about
Speaker 1: how to do this as a team. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of good individuals, but I feel like we've thought
Speaker 1: as a team a lot since nineteen.
Speaker 2: The gifts Green Bay in the thirty nine yard touchdown
Speaker 2: run by McCaffrey, looked like Warner might have been on
Speaker 2: the wrong side of the formation, and MIC's picked up
Speaker 2: Brock saying stay there and stay there. What was going
Speaker 2: on in that play? Was he on the wrong side
Speaker 2: of the formation? Was that a heads up play by Yerdy?
Speaker 1: No, there was a we changed there's we changed plays.
Speaker 1: We balance it out on which way we're gonna run.
Speaker 1: And then he was supposed to flip then motion and
Speaker 1: we were just too late in the count, soil Brock
Speaker 1: instead of having him flipped in motion, he just took
Speaker 1: the motion off and left him there because we were
Speaker 1: low on the play clock. It was awesome job. We
Speaker 1: would have to lay a game, or if he would
Speaker 1: have just sent that, we would have had a snap
Speaker 1: and it had no one blocked. So it was him
Speaker 1: having good awareness of what everyone's doing on a run, play.
Speaker 2: Checkdowns early, but then self correcting in the fourth quarter
Speaker 2: on the final drivers.
Speaker 4: That encourage you that he left that behind and.
Speaker 1: This game, yeah, that's different. I mean the third and ten.
Speaker 1: On the last drive, I'd say it should have probably
Speaker 1: been a checkdown on that unbelievable throw he threw way over.
Speaker 1: I forget who it was and Juwan came in a
Speaker 1: knowir and caught it. I thought that was a checkdown
Speaker 1: until Juan caught it. So it's it's playing the game, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you judge everything, but you got to try to play
Speaker 1: the game and you got to try to win. And
Speaker 1: if it's just automatic all the time, they're deep check down,
Speaker 1: they're tight throw a deep like yeah, that's how it
Speaker 1: should work out. But you're in a pocket and you're
Speaker 1: playing a sport. You're not reviewing it like a coach
Speaker 1: with a film after and you're not just asking questions
Speaker 1: based off of stuff. It's he's got to play and
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, on the last drive, he did some
Speaker 1: good on that, but it was it wasn't just as
Speaker 1: consistent as the questions what did you think, Chris, MVP finalists.
Speaker 1: That's what they deserve, the way they played all year,
Speaker 1: the way they played last year. I mean, both of
Speaker 1: them at their positions as good as anybody at quarterback
Speaker 1: and running back. I've been around also watch football for
Speaker 1: a long time, and there's a lot of good players
Speaker 1: in this league. So it sucks that one person's got
Speaker 1: to get all those awards. But those guys are right
Speaker 1: there with those other guys. What's that We don't call
Speaker 1: them the twelfth man here, but but our crowd is
Speaker 1: very important. Our crowd is our crowd I think is
Speaker 1: the best in football. They travel extremely well. They want
Speaker 1: have to travel this week, I hear the Lions fans
Speaker 1: traveled pretty well. I mean, we love having a home
Speaker 1: field advantage, our defense more than anything, our players coming
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel. We want to win it here.
Speaker 1: It's it's a huge deal. It affects everybody, and I
Speaker 1: think always in sports, I mean, everyone likes playing at home,
Speaker 1: but in football, when it's loud, that truly is an advantage.
Speaker 1: I mean that truly messes up what one side of
Speaker 1: the ball can do on the other team. And that's
Speaker 1: why it's very important that we're loud.
Speaker 4: Obviously did affect, but at times, particularly late. But given
Speaker 4: the investment millions and millions, when you see like zero
Speaker 4: sacks in a playoff game, you guys.
Speaker 1: That's not acceptable. No, I don't go in there and say,
Speaker 1: look at these millions, look at the zero sacks. This
Speaker 1: is unacceptable. I go in there and I look at
Speaker 1: how we won, how it came.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: If if you got a four man rush and people
Speaker 1: are chipping every time and the back staining and the help,
Speaker 1: well you know, which means you have eight guys in protection,
Speaker 1: there's one quarterback, there's two guys out on a route,
Speaker 1: and seven guys in coverage, probably not gonna give any sacks.
Speaker 1: But I don't think you're gonna give any points either,
Speaker 1: So there's a balance out to it. Yeah, we want
Speaker 1: more sacks, definitely, But how a guy's gonna play us?
Speaker 1: How are we gonna do it? And I liked how
Speaker 1: O d Line played. I guess
