1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Easy would have started with what your memories of child

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: or your first memories of Monday Night football? What did

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: you think of anyone was the light for you? I

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: don't think I got to stay up that much for

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of what I mean, you know, I remember

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: it being late. Um yeah, I remember my first primetime

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: game as a rookie. Um. You know, we come in

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: and I think we played Indie. Was my first primetime game.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: We played the Steelers Thursday night opened it. But you know,

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: I would it could have been at midnight and you

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: know so but played the Colts and it's like ten

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: thirty eleven halftime. I'm like, goshly it's late. But uh no,

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you think about Monday Night Football, the

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: song the opener um Hank Williams Junior for me growing up,

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it is it's truly a you know,

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a special special thing, the only show in town. You know,

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: really the only you know, there's no other football competing. Um,

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: so super or super awesome thing. Um you know, because

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I got a good challenge coming up too. So one

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: two really good linebackers. Uh you know obviously you know

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Quan's a Georgia boys, so um a lot of respect

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: for him. You have watched him play for a long time,

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: but uh, you know he's a great player. Um. You

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: know Quinn obviously played against him before, um, still in

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: his twelfth year. You know, really good player on the

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: edge can cause a lot of problems. Um, you know,

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: and then they can do a lot of things you know,

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: obviously the Indianapolis influence. So uh you know see how

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: some things maybe they did last year that heard us.

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so be a big challenge. They do a

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: really good job in the second half, UM stopping teams.

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: I think they've given up like thirty five points all

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: year in the second half. UM, so you know, big

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: challenge coming up everybody, Mattie refusing What are the characteristics

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 1: you've mentioned Indianapolis. You see their defense particular up front

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: that he recognized the Indianapolis and even when he was

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: with Rod Marinelli in Dallas before. Yeah, they you know

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: they're definitely uh you know, one good linebacker play obviously,

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: uh two. Um, you know, they definitely do some things

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: up front that can be really disruptive with movement, different

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: pressure packages. You know, it's really not as much as

42
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: they do X Y Z. But um, you know kind

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: of see how they attack us really. Uh yeah, so

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: it'll be a challenge, you know. Like I said, I

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: think they do a really good job in game adjusting

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: and kind of figuring it out. That's not just a fluke, uh,

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, to be as good as they are in

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the second half. So uh, you know, they'll have a

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: good game plan for us, and he had a good

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: game playing for us last year. Uh you know. Obviously,

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: different players and different schemes and things like that. But um,

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: you know something you always look at, you know, as

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: later on this team, what's your message been for Mac lately?

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Especially this week? Obviously there's just a lot of noise

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: out there about him. Come from a lot of different

56
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: directions beyond just the injury stuff. Yeah, you know, I

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: mean I think one you know is, um, you know,

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: be as ready as you are, you know, and make

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: sure you're where you need to be. Um. You know,

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I haven't had a lot of injuries where I've you know,

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of missed time during the season. It's kind of

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: really The one thing I had was kind of a

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: sickness thing and was out for a couple of weeks,

64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: But other than that, it's kind of been either the

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: whole year or off. But um, you know, I think

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: really just you know, as a player, I know if

67
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I was in that position, I wish I want to

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: be as healthy as I could be. Uh you know,

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: and that's tough because you're a competitor and you want

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to go play. So you know, we'll see he'll make

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: that decision and obviously our medical stuff. Dude, when you

72
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: talk about their adjustment Sidney, in the second half way,

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: they've been kind of stingy. How important are the adjustment

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: of your ustments to those adjustments going to be? And

75
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: how quickly can you make those? I think, you know,

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: there's been I think we've done a good job. Um

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you know making a lot of different adjustments in game.

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Uh you know, because teams are gonna make adjustments to you,

79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: and so I think we've done a really well good

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: job of that overall. Uh you know. Um, so well, yeah,

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what those are. Can you know

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: every week it's something different, Um, situations are different. Um

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's something you know you haven't ran

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: this type of run or this personnel group and someone

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: gets hurt and uh, it's just always different. You just

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: don't know what those situations are going to be But

87
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: I think we've done a good job of adjusting some

88
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: of those, um throughout the year these my series rather

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: than like I know, coach always says you can't wait

90
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: till half time to make adjustments, But do you make

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: them like series by series? Yeah, I mean no, I

92
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: mean I think it. Look, it just all depends on everything, right,

93
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Like there could be a major injury that happens and

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: that knocks you out of a personnel group that maybe

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend a lot of time in, right, I mean,

96
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, um, what was it? Was it the lines week?

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Damien you know got hurt and we don't have one

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: of running back now, so anything we had with two

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: running backs might change you know. Uh you know uh

100
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: John de John who get hurt that game? He was

101
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: he was out. Yeah, so you know, right, so like

102
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: now we're knocked out of this you know, multiple tight

103
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: end packages, you know, and um, I mean look that's

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: part of it. Those things you don't know are going

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: to happen. Um, you know that happens. There are scheme

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: things that happen, there's situational things that happen sometimes that

107
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: like you know, hey, it's four minute or we're trying

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: to do this um or, you know, and then there's

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: obviously all the scheme things. You know. They hit us

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: with this bliss, they hit us with this rush, you know.

111
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: So uh, it's always something that's something I kind of

112
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: love about the games, you know, because it's not just

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: running plays. There's things you got to figure out how

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: are we going to do it? And I think that's

115
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: as a player, I love that aspect of it, you know.

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: And it goes to game planning all week you watch

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: film by yourself, it's like, Wow, they do this, how

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: are we gonna How are we going to combat it?

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, and you know, I like to figure out

120
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: how I think we are and sometimes I'm right, sometimes

121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, and you know, but that's part of it.

122
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's the game plan aspect of it,

123
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: you know. But it all changes on Sunday sometimes, so

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: you gotta figure it out. Thanks guys,
