1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: The Browns are back at practice on Thursday as preparation

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: continues for the regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: To talk about that game and also to talk about

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: some of the Pro Bowl announcements that came out last night.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from five players and all three of

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: the Browns coordinators. Those coordinators were up first today and

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: they spoke before practice started. Special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: was up first. He talked about the effect of losing

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,639
Speaker 1: his kicker and punter and what that had on him

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: last week, and also if he thought Dustin Hopkins was

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl snub.

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: How was that to lose your kicker.

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: In the punter.

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 4: It was definitely a unique situation. Unfortunately we lost them

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 4: and had to use.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 5: New guys. I thought that Riley and Matt did a

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 5: nice job in the game though.

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: I thought they did it, especially with a short week

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: and not a lot of time to get ready.

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 5: So that's a good thing.

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 6: How much does you know Riley being on the practice

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 6: squad this week impact things in terms of the overall

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 6: plan in terms of getting guys ress you know, I

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 6: mean you plan on I mean Riley kicking this week

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 6: or with.

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna have both guys ready to go and

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: we'll see how it goes at the end of the week.

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: But you know, Dustin's really like day to day and

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: we'll make a decision at the end of the week

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: on what on what coach in an ab thing.

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 7: So is it a snub or Dustin that he didn't

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 7: make them?

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I feel like sometimes the Pro Bowl

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: can be you know, a little I would say unfair

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: to a degree. I remember back in twenty twenty when

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: I was in Indianapolis, George otom was clearly the best

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: special team or in the league, led the league.

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: By like I think he had like twenty one tackles.

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: I think the next best guy had like thirteen maybe,

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: and he wasn't elected to the Pro Bowl, but then

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: he was. He was first team All Pro. So I

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: think that a lot of times the All Pro teams

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: are a little bit more I would say accurate. So,

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: but I think clearly Dzin's had the best season in

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: the AFC for sure, and probably the second best season

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: overall next to Aubrey in Dallas.

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: So I mean aid for eight over fifty.

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: And in addition to that, I would say like the

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 4: kicks that he's made have impacted our team in our

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: season and have really put us in a spot to

51
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: have eleven wins. So I think when you look at that,

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: and not to take anything away from from Tucker, but

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: you know, he's probably the best kick of all time.

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: Fortunately for me, I think I've coached the most clutch

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: kicker of all time and Vinnie and I think Dustin

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I think Justin Tucker is also an elite guy.

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 8: So how do you guess the chem was talking about

58
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 8: yesterday resting guys and everything, So how does that like,

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 8: how it affect special teams and how do you approach

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 8: that going into Cincinnati.

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's challenging, and it's you don't have as many

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: numbers as you have in a preseason where guys, you know,

63
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: not as many guys are playing, but you have a

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: lot more numbers to work with, so guys will be

65
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: playing more.

66
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 5: It'll be great.

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: Opportunities for young players to get more offensive and defensive time, and.

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: Some of those guys will have to go double duty.

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: And obviously playing the kicking game, you only have so

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: many guys and bodies to work with, so you know,

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: everyone will be ready to play.

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 9: Well.

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 6: You talked about, you know, the way the injuries have

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 6: impacted special teams in terms of losing guys and having

75
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 6: to plug new guys in out. Yeah, have you found

76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: some guys who are some of the guys maybe that

77
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 6: have really kind of shined and you know, and given this.

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: Opportunity, I think I think a lot of guys have

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: done a nice job.

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 5: I really do. I think if you look at, you know,

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 5: our whole entire core, I think.

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Everyone we've done a good job of playing collectively together.

83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: We've definitely had some injuries throughout the way that have

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: forced us to go another direction. We've had to elevate

85
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: guys and playing games, and you know, injuries happened throughout

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: the week and then you have to bring up a

87
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: guy on a Friday and things like that. But I think,

88
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 4: you know, to credit our players, everyone has prepared well.

89
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: And I would say, and.

90
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: Everyone's prepared well and preparing like they're going to play

91
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: in the game. So and I think that that's been

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: a good thing for us.

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 10: I haven't talked to you after that Houston game, just

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 10: what was that like to try to cobble the kicking

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 10: game together and how did you ultimately wind up on

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 10: thee Anthony to kick off.

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 11: Yeah.

98
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: So I mean, you know, things happened in a game,

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 4: and you know, unfortunately we had we had a couple

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: of things, a couple of mishaps and didn't play it

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: our didn't play our standard. And then you get into

102
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: a game and you know, ideally you would like to

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: not have the kick or chase down you know, the

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: runner there and the Anthony kicked in high school, so.

105
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 5: We thought it was a good option for us.

106
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: Corey had been a little sore there and didn't want

107
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: him to finish it out like that, so just made

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: the adjustment in game, and I thought our guys responded

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: he actually I think he I think on the kick

110
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: that he actually.

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 5: Made, he made the tackle. So that was a pretty

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: unique thing.

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 10: Like do you know, like do you go into a

114
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 10: season like, Okay, who's kicked in? Like you know what

115
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 10: I mean, do you kind of sus stuff like that out?

116
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I I think in really like I know,

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 4: I know you've seen over the last couple of years,

118
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: like Justin Reid kicked for Kansas City, Uh last year,

119
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: you know, Agabawalle in Houston kicked for them, Like those

120
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 4: I mean to me, those guys, they feel to me,

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: we just watching those guys kick. I know, Kamu Gruger

122
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: hill kick this past week in Carolina. You know, to me,

123
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: it actually looks like those guys have had like some

124
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: type of history of playing like soccer. Maybe you know,

125
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: the way that they actually hit the ball doesn't look

126
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: like they've never done it before. Fortunately for those teams

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: they have those types of guys. Uh not everyone's going

128
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: to have that option or that ability.

129
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: And when you have something like that that happens in game, the.

130
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: Biggest the biggest risk is obviously not just the operation,

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: but you know, the elevation that they kick, you risk,

132
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: you know, getting a block.

133
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: I know that we had a short kick at one point.

134
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 11: And then we.

135
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: Decided not to to to use the anthony because you know,

136
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: you don't want to risk a block at that point.

137
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 12: So, yeah, about two things first with us, I'm sure

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 12: those soft tissue injuries can kind of be.

139
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 7: Hit or miss the time.

140
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 13: Is that something you worry at all about him peaking

141
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 13: or reinjurying if he plays this weekend?

142
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's always risk whenever you're coming

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: back off of a soft tissue injury.

144
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: You know, I've had them in my career. I've not

145
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: I've I'm not a kicker, So.

146
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: I guess we'll just have to We'll see, We'll have

147
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: to see how how he is. I mean, obviously there's

148
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: risk when you're coming back from any injury.

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 13: So if uh Corey he makes it to the Pro

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 13: Bowls and alter that. Just how how impressive has he been

151
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 13: this season? We know field position is such an important.

152
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 7: Part of the game. For him to just be able

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 7: to be.

154
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 13: Effective and do that for you all season, sort of

155
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 13: fit the field.

156
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 7: Just what's that been like.

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 9: To be a player?

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.

159
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: I was excited that he got recognized there. I think

160
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: he's done a nice job. I really do.

161
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: I really do.

162
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: He's worked hard, and he's given our our unit and edge.

163
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: I feel that, you know, we've done a pretty solid

164
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: job overall on that unit, and I think we can

165
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: be even better and hopefully we can get him back soon.

166
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 7: But Shelby Harrison the blackfield. But how big was that moment?

167
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 5: And it seems like he has a history of that.

168
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 7: What makes him so effective?

169
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's a He's a great guy to have

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: on the unit. He plays with high effort, he's got

171
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: long arms, he takes pride in that unit. He's very vocal,

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 4: he's a good communicator with me, and you know, does

173
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: a good job of in game communicating on what he's

174
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: seeing inside.

175
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: So you know, he did a nice job with you know,

176
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: getting hit.

177
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: We didn't get a ton of push on that on

178
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: that on that rep, but he does a nice job

179
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: of getting his hands unto the ball flight. So anytime

180
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 4: you can block a kick, it's it's good for the team.

181
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 5: So it was good, you know.

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: Full team after gating years.

183
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 14: Is that something that you guys had discussed ahead of

184
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 14: time in that situation if you don't want him doing it,

185
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 14: do want And did it.

186
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 15: Never come up?

187
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 5: It never?

188
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: It never came up, honestly, And I wish it would

189
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: have came up. I wish I would have you know,

190
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: you know, got after that one earlier in the UH

191
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: in the season and just communicated better on that if

192
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: that were ever to have happened. Our our coverage has

193
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: been pretty damn good all year and playing some young

194
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: guys inside and we just get it just gets on

195
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: us fast and we don't close the close the crease

196
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: down enough.

197
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 5: And to his credit, he made a good run.

198
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: It's not like it was like this like elaborate scheme

199
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: that you know we weren't ready for.

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: We just gotta we just gotta play it better.

201
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: So, I mean, the kid does a good job of

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: navigating his way through a tight crease.

203
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: It wasn't this like big hole.

204
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 4: So ideally you would like to have the kicker not

205
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 4: chase it down, especially once it gets outside, just have

206
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: him pull off, but playing with effort to finish. And

207
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: unfortunately we get the injury.

208
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: So offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was next. He talked

209
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: about the team's quarterback carousel this season and also how

210
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: proud he is to see David and Jok who make

211
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl.

212
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 7: It started this quarterback in this game with Jeff.

213
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 6: What excites you just about being you see Jeff in

214
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 6: a game and see what he can hash.

215
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: To in this team.

216
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 11: Yeah.

217
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 16: No, Jeff's a guy that has a lot of athleticism.

218
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 16: He's a bigger guy, he's than a strong arm. And

219
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 16: I'm very familiar with Jeff from our time together in Cincinnati,

220
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 16: and I you know, I think with you know, with

221
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 16: Dorian being moved, I arc gives us a chance to

222
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 16: bring another athletic body in that could fill some of

223
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 16: the role that Dorian played, So it'll be good to

224
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 16: get him in. He has familiarity with the system, obviously

225
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 16: coming from Arizona, and the familiarity from the since he days,

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 16: some of that stuff has carried here, so I think

227
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 16: he feels comfortable with where we are and we're excited

228
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 16: to see what he can do.

229
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 15: That.

230
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 17: What do you think when you talk about Joe, which

231
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 17: just you know, the riot seems so crazy, Like, what

232
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 17: do you think to.

233
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 7: You is the most surprising part that he's been able

234
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 7: to come in.

235
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 15: And have the success he's got.

236
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 16: I'd say probably the biggest thing for me is just

237
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 16: the immediate connection with the receivers. I mean, there's some

238
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 16: some routes down the field that are like handoffs, and

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 16: that's just a guy that's like I said before, he's

240
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 16: accurate at all three levels of the field. But that

241
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 16: to me, he's been the most impressive to come in

242
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 16: and just be on the same.

243
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 11: Page right away with the guys. That just shows what

244
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 11: ave you know, what event.

245
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: Is a's a quarterback poise. I mean when it's something Joe,

246
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 6: you know that a lot of people talk about Joe

247
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 6: with Joe, is that.

248
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 15: Something almost innate with it?

249
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 6: I mean, you play the position. Is that something that's

250
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 6: I mean, it's you either have it or you don't.

251
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 6: It's not something you kind of developed.

252
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 11: You know.

253
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 16: He's always had it, you know. I think that's the

254
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 16: biggest thing. You He's played a ton of football, you know,

255
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 16: so he knows how to move in the pocket. He

256
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 16: knows when he's hot, when he's warm, when he has

257
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 16: to get rid of the ball. All those things. Is

258
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 16: just that that veteran experience and it's paid off him.

259
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 16: He's made plays versus cover zero where they had one

260
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 16: more than we could block and he bought time. You know,

261
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 16: he just knows how to operate and just about all

262
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 16: circumstances because he's he's seen them all.

263
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 18: Is it that one to do that?

264
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 13: A guy with that skill set, with that much left

265
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 13: in the tank could be sitting home on the couch.

266
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 16: For the first of It's surprising really to see the

267
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 16: way he's played It is surprising but fortunate for us.

268
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 12: Right, that was probably one of Dupe forwards best games

269
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 12: on Thursday night.

270
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 18: Just what did you see from him on those especially

271
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 18: the first touchdown and then the big pass play.

272
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's a tough tackle in the open field. His

273
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 11: feet are so.

274
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 16: Quick, you know, his contact balance is outstanding, broke tackles

275
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 16: to score late, made some big runs, broke tackles. I mean,

276
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 16: it's all the things we've we've always seen from Jerome.

277
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 16: His pass protection was excellent. He was one of the

278
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 16: best teammates on the field. He was picking guys up.

279
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 11: I agree.

280
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 16: I thought it was one of the Drum's best games

281
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 16: to date. So look forward to build on that in

282
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 16: the in the future. But he's playing at a high level.

283
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 19: How has he kind of grown into that job over

284
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 19: this year.

285
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 16: I mean he got thrust into it early and and

286
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 16: it's kind of just warmed up to it and it's

287
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 16: taken on that role.

288
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 11: We said it would take a lot.

289
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 16: Of shoes, you know, the feet to fill Nick's shoes,

290
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 16: and he stepped up to the challenge. Really proud of him.

291
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 16: All three backs really had had a solid day last week.

292
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 20: I speakin of that on Kareem Hunt with another rushing

293
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 20: touchdown out.

294
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: It's a career high for.

295
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 5: Him in this season.

296
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 20: Another guy who was sitting waiting for an opportunity. Obviously,

297
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 20: there's a different familiarity here with right with recent years,

298
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 20: But was it a pleasant surprise the way he's been

299
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 20: able to come in and do everything he's been able.

300
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 15: To do that he was waiting.

301
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is is.

302
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 16: I mean, he's added so much productivity their offense down

303
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 16: and tight, especially you know, his ability to run hard

304
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 16: between the tackles is something that stands out, and especially

305
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 16: when he gets around the goal line, it's.

306
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 11: Hard to deny him the goal line.

307
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 16: He'll he'll run guys over if he needs to, but

308
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 16: he smells the end zone he gets in. That's just

309
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 16: part of what he's done for us this season.

310
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 11: He's made huge.

311
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 16: Runs on third down for us, and he's had great protection,

312
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 16: so the the the value that he's brought us this

313
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 16: season has been huge. And really proud of him, you know,

314
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 16: not a great circumstance. Didn't want to not be on

315
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 16: a team, I'm sure, but once we got him here, man,

316
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 16: he was. He's been all on, all on board, and

317
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 16: he's been a great teammate as well.

318
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 18: How about Dave making his first problem.

319
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 16: Just the season, Yeah, I mean, you know how I

320
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 16: feel about Dave. I could not be happier because there's

321
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 16: a guy that just has done nothing but put us

322
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 16: keep his head down and work. You know, has gotten

323
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 16: better every year we've been together, and just so happy.

324
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 16: You know, I'm proud of him, and I'm glad that

325
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 16: he got the accomplishments because he deserves him. He's really

326
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 16: playing at that level. And again, just really happy, happy

327
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 16: for Dave because there's a guy that does it the

328
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 16: right way and and it's it's paid off for him.

329
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 14: What did you you know that you had something special

330
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 14: in him?

331
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 11: Uh, you could see it early on, you know it.

332
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 16: It was probably just for us finding that the best

333
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 16: way to utilize his skill sets, I think, and we

334
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 16: grew with him as we saw what he could really do. Again,

335
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 16: we try to get him the ball in all situations,

336
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 16: not only down the.

337
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 11: Field but short and let him run.

338
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 16: So it's probably a little bit of of us growing

339
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 16: into him as much as him growing into himself.

340
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 7: Well, it was mentioned Jeff for your fist started quarterback

341
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 7: this year.

342
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 13: You guys were the first team in NFL history to

343
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 13: have four different started quarterbacks this season to make the playoffs.

344
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 13: Just can you put in perspective like how unique of

345
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 13: an experience this year has been given those circumstances and

346
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 13: what has it been like for you to be able

347
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 13: to work with all those guys.

348
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 16: Uh, it's been a great experience. It's one I'll always

349
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 16: cherish and remember. It's been a unique year, challenging, there has

350
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 16: been a lot of adversity, but the room has always

351
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 16: been solid. You know, we always feel like we're gonna

352
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 16: try to get whoever's playing in the best position to

353
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 16: win for the team. And I think Kevin has really

354
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 16: done a great job of catering how he calls the

355
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 16: game to each player. Again, he's he's always thinking about

356
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 16: their strengths and then trying to protect him from their weaknesses.

357
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 16: And I think it's a you know, a lot of

358
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 16: it comes down to how Kevin calls those games. A

359
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 16: lot of it comes down to how confident those guys

360
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 16: are going into those games. And that's you know, the

361
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 16: quarterback room is always a tight room, and we've had

362
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 16: multiple people in and multiple people have stepped up. And again,

363
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 16: so proud of Dorian and pj and and Joe and

364
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 16: you know Deshaun.

365
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 11: I mean, he.

366
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 16: Played through some stuff that was incredible. So to get

367
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 16: to where we are now has been rewarding. It's been challenging,

368
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 16: but uh, it's definitely a year that you know, i'll, i'll,

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 16: i'll uh not forget.

370
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 7: See Jeff, Jeff is six four, big quarterback, got a

371
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 7: big time arm.

372
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 15: Did that going into the decision making.

373
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 6: Kind of you know, formulating kind of towards.

374
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 15: Joe bringing it back up in like Jeff.

375
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that they're they're they're similar but different.

376
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 16: You know, I think, uh, Jeff's obviously a more athletic

377
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 16: than Joe. I don't wanna tell Joe that, but I

378
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 16: think Joe would admit to that. Yeah, but that I'm

379
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 16: sure that I did have something to do the familiarity

380
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 16: with the system, all the things that about Jeff that

381
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 16: we knew about him, giving him an opportunity to come

382
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 16: in and see if he can help us.

383
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 17: Obviously, Jerome was a big part of the run game

384
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 17: on Thursday night, But what else do you think was

385
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 17: working after the previ previous couple of weeks had been

386
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 17: a successful.

387
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 16: Key one that's tough, you know, that's that's a good defense.

388
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 16: We faced a bunch of good defenses prior to that.

389
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 16: I think we just we were on that night, you know,

390
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 16: I think their scheme that we ran that night was

391
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 16: was suited for that defense. Not getting into detail, but yeah,

392
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 16: I really proud of those guys. Challenged him earlier that

393
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 16: we we need to run the ball against the Jets,

394
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 16: and I thought we could and we did, and was

395
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 16: proud of those guys.

396
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 20: Some of your young guys have to uh grow up

397
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 20: in a hurry for these playoffs.

398
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 7: Is what do you need to see from from said Tillman.

399
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 6: He got running, uh you know, to.

400
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 11: Buy your last week alone.

401
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, he just needs to be himself, you know,

402
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 16: just you know, dive into the plan each week and

403
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 16: and you know, have a full understanding of what we're

404
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 16: asking him to do. Alignments is signments technique. Everything is

405
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 16: a rookie.

406
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: You know.

407
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 16: I told those guys this morning, this is not the

408
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 16: time to let up. It's a time to double down.

409
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 16: These these opportunities are special and you don't know when

410
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 16: you get.

411
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 11: Your next one.

412
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 16: So but at the same time, I've been around a

413
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 16: lot of teams that gets to these games, the playoff games.

414
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 16: Then they get super tight and you make a ton

415
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 16: of mistakes. So it's finding that happy medium and let's

416
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 16: do our job. Let's just do our job, execute one

417
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 16: play at a time. And you know, but that said's job.

418
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 16: He needs to just do his job each week, and

419
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 16: if he just does that, we'll be just fine.

420
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 6: Peer's been number three, kind of the third guy most

421
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 6: of the season. But when he you know, like Thursday,

422
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 6: you know, you know, when he got in there, he

423
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: kind of flashed. You know, are you kind of excited

424
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 6: to see him on Sunday and you know, probably get

425
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: a much larger role in what you know, what he

426
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 6: can do with it.

427
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 16: You know absolutely, I mean he's different when he touches it.

428
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 16: You can see the speed. You know, he gets through

429
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 16: the hole differently, gets to the second level quickly. You know,

430
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 16: it has the speed to take at the distance. So

431
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 16: I'm excited to see him get a ball, could play,

432
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 16: I think.

433
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 14: David at eighty one catches you talk about that growth

434
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 14: with the staff. Did you and Kevin come into the

435
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 14: season think and were you just gotta find a way

436
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 14: to get this guy.

437
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 10: The ball more?

438
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 11: Yeah? Well that was really it really you think about it,

439
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 11: It took y.

440
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 16: You always think about your players, who are the who

441
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 16: are the players and who do we need to highlight

442
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 16: and within the system, and his number is always at

443
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 16: the top.

444
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 7: Does it help that you know, to hear Amar.

445
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 20: Talk about the kind of ball that Joe rose and

446
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 20: just how easy it is to catch that ball.

447
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: Did it help David a lot in the final home stretch.

448
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 11: And Ormar and everyone to have that kind of a

449
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 11: quarterback throwing that.

450
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 12: Kind of the ball.

451
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that always helps.

452
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 16: You know, you get a guy with a lot of

453
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 16: experience the Super Bowl MVP and he's now on your

454
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 16: team throwing you the ball. I think it, you know it.

455
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 16: It definitely helps those guys. But again, great job by Joe. Again,

456
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 16: I'm really proud of Amari too getting to.

457
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 11: The Pro Bowl. I thought it well deserved.

458
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 16: Guy's always played for us when he can, played through

459
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 16: uh terrible injury last year, got all the way through,

460
00:19:59,119 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 16: you know, and.

461
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 11: It really happy for him because he's he's very deserving.

462
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 20: Alex, So obviously we talk about the quarterbacks all the

463
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 20: time with how many of you guys have using offensive

464
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 20: tackles up there too.

465
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 18: What are you getting out of.

466
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 20: Those two guys right now and what is kind of

467
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 20: impressed you most about the way they've been able to do.

468
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean they're playing their butts off on the edge.

469
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 16: They really are really proud of both those guys. You know,

470
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 16: HUD's been here the longest and I've seen him develop

471
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 16: from the day he got here as the only you know,

472
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 16: rookie lineman that was in that class and the three

473
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 16: on one work he got with coach Callahan and Coach

474
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 16: Peters and coach the Coosta. So I watched that growth

475
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 16: and I'm proud of him as well. I mean, he's

476
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 16: a guy that just has gone out and blocked whoever

477
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 16: they put in front of him, and then to geron

478
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 16: to come in halfway through and to be able to

479
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 16: do what he did. I think we had one sack

480
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 16: last week and that was on a fall down naked keeper.

481
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 16: Really really proud of those guys up front their protection

482
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 16: really last three weeks.

483
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Wrapping up the day for the coordinators was defensive coordinator

484
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz. He talked about the possibility of becoming a

485
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: head coach again and also why he thinks Kevin Stefanski

486
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: should be the coach of the Year this year.

487
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 6: This over the course of the first sixteen games, how

488
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 6: teams are sort of trying to attack you to counter

489
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 6: what you guys have been successful.

490
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 21: Do you know everybody's a little bit different. I would

491
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 21: say this, you know, in my history, teams that try

492
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 21: to change to counter another team are on the wrong track.

493
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 21: The teams that are probably played the best against us

494
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 21: have been teams that have stayed truth to themselves and

495
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 21: just don't what they do best, you know, because that's

496
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 21: sort of that's sort of what we do on defense.

497
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 15: You know.

498
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 21: Everybody has little adjustments here and some game plan things here,

499
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 21: and you know, you have that cap and mouse.

500
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 9: Game all around.

501
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 21: But you know, if if we're forcing a team to

502
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 21: completely change course and do something at a character, I

503
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 21: might be mission accomplished for us.

504
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 9: You know, Like when we.

505
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 21: Played on Thursday night, we had a really crappy first

506
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 21: series of the game, countered some of the things that

507
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 21: they were doing, and then you know, and then you know,

508
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 21: really started, you know, playing some good defense after that.

509
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 21: But there's always that part of the game, you know,

510
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 21: But we try to be true to ourselves. We try

511
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 21: to do what fits our player's best and you know,

512
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 21: with little minor adjustments and things like that, but we

513
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 21: try not to play totally out of character, even when

514
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 21: we're playing an opponent.

515
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 7: Jim, how do you talk about Greg?

516
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 22: You knew he would bounce back after that Denver game,

517
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 22: how do you think he's playing over this final.

518
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 9: Four game streight? Yeah, what are we no?

519
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 6: No?

520
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 21: Yeah, four and zero in that stretch, yeah, eleven and five.

521
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 15: Yeah.

522
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 21: I mean just to the point of year, you sort

523
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 21: of lose track. Yeah, I mean, i'd classify him there.

524
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 21: I'd say this, I'm really proud of our corners. We

525
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 21: put a lot of pressure on our.

526
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 9: Corners, you know.

527
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 21: I mean you go look at the snaps of cover

528
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 21: two in quarters we play and we have to be

529
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 21: near the bottom of the NFL, and and those snaps

530
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 21: and those things A lot of times you can do.

531
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 9: To protect your corners.

532
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 21: Those guys all relished to one on one. You can't

533
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 21: play corner if you know, if you're trying to hide,

534
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 21: and you know Greg, he's not trying to hide, you know,

535
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 21: probably the opposite. Brings us a lot of energy. He's

536
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 21: always up for the challenge. He brings his his teammates energy,

537
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 21: you know. And I think, like I'd say this, I

538
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 21: wouldn't trade our corner room for anybody in the NFL.

539
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 5: This year's a post.

540
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 21: I think he's coach of the Year. I mean, I

541
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 21: don't think that's even close. He's just such a steady

542
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 21: hand with the team. You know, you guys, ever, you

543
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 21: guys ever see that movie Dustin Hoffman Wagged the Dog. Remember,

544
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 21: remember that when he was like that, like a movie

545
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 21: producer and and and things would go back like with

546
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 21: their whole like project that they were having. You know,

547
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 21: it would be a disaster, there'd be something going on,

548
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 21: and he just kept going, you think, this is something,

549
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 21: this is nothing. One time I was on you know,

550
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 21: one time I was on to shoot and Istanbul and

551
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 21: you know, then this happened, and you know, just sort

552
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 21: of put in perspective. But you know, head coach should

553
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 21: be a steadying influence in a team, and I don't

554
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 21: think anybody exemplifies that better than Kevin. You know, good

555
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 21: coaches can you know, round out the roller coaster nature

556
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 21: which is the NFL, right, you know, like you're going

557
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 21: to have highs, you're going to have lows over the

558
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 21: course of the season, and you know you want to

559
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 21: be you want to be the person that can that

560
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 21: can level out those like you almost look a good

561
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 21: hedge fund manager, you know, And I think Kevin's he's been.

562
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 9: He's awesome in the work for I got a ton

563
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 9: of respect.

564
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 21: For him, and you know, we we We've had a

565
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 21: couple spots this year where we haven't played great, but

566
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 21: we've always been able to bounce back. And I think

567
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 21: players take a lot of confidence in Kevin's confidence and

568
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 21: his ability to handle all these different situations. You know,

569
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 21: a lot's been made to the quarterback position, but you

570
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 21: can go down a list of a lot of other situations,

571
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 21: particularly injuries that have come and you know, and and

572
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 21: found ways to you know, to still be successful and

573
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 21: have the record that we have.

574
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 9: It's really been impressive.

575
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 18: You guys have had to deal with like it might

576
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 18: torpedo other teams, not just the quarterback, but all the

577
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 18: injuries that you've.

578
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 7: Had to deal with. Yeah.

579
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 21: Yeah, I like our culture that way, you know, And

580
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 21: I think, you know, sometimes I don't watch a ton

581
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 21: of other teams, but sometimes you can see frustration come

582
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 21: out of other teams. You can see guys throwing helmet,

583
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 21: You can see guys, you know, in scraps on the sideline,

584
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 21: coaches and players and players and players and coaches and

585
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 21: coaches and stuff like that. You haven't seen any any

586
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 21: of that from our team. You know, if the offense

587
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 21: turns the ball over, you don't see the defense pointing

588
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 21: a finger at him or throwing helmets, and you know,

589
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 21: if the defense gives up a touchdown, you know, those guys,

590
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 21: you know, those guys are supportive and you know, and

591
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 21: I think that culture and everything is a sign of

592
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 21: coaching also, So yeah, I'm really proud to work for Kevin.

593
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 11: That's good Emerson that you know, he's had a great year.

594
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 15: But are his penalties aggravating to you?

595
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 7: And can they be correct?

596
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 9: Well?

597
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 21: I would say this, like part of part of playing

598
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 21: corner is being aggressive with your technique. And here's the

599
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 21: thing with some of his penalties, as long as they're

600
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 21: not in situations like third down and long second and

601
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 21: extra long things where you have the offense, you know,

602
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 21: really in a jam right second and twenty and you

603
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 21: get an ICT five yards, but first down, you know,

604
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 21: third down and twelve you get a defensive holding first down.

605
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 21: And he hasn't had a ton of those, you know,

606
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 21: And I think that you know, you got to push

607
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 21: the envelope a little bit when you're a corner because

608
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 21: you know, like you can go the other way. You

609
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 21: can be so averse to penalties as you don't cover anybody.

610
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 21: You never put your hands on people and you know,

611
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 21: I think he's got a pretty good balance there. And

612
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 21: that's one of the things we preach to guys. You know,

613
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 21: we're get off team up front. We know we're going

614
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 21: to be all sides sometimes. Let's not be stupid about it, right,

615
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 21: Let's not be all sides when it's you know, when

616
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 21: it's third and two. Let's not be all sides when

617
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 21: it's backed up. Let's not be all sides after a

618
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 21: penalty or you know, one of those things. And it's

619
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 21: the same with corners. They got to be able to

620
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 21: pick and choose their spots a little bit. You know,

621
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 21: they're on an island a lot. Like I said, we

622
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 21: don't protect those guys a lot. We put a lot

623
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 21: on them. And there's some good wide receivers, there, some

624
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 21: good quarterbacks in this league.

625
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 15: There's the legal contacts getting beat with the first step

626
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 15: up them.

627
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 21: I don't know if i'd classify them all. You know,

628
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 21: I think any time that you have either d H

629
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 21: or an ICT, for the most part, it's it's where

630
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 21: you you lost early, right, you lost every and then

631
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 21: you're trying to catch up, so you know it's your

632
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 21: your feet aren't in the greatest position. You cover with

633
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 21: your feet, even though there's hands involved in it. But

634
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 21: you know, generally there I'm just just talking about MJ.

635
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 21: I'm talking about all across the league. You know, same

636
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 21: thing with offensive holding. You know, guys don't hold if

637
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 21: they're in good position, you know, and and it's the

638
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 21: same thing with d H or or ICT and and

639
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 21: things like that.

640
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 15: ICT.

641
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 21: Sometimes you know, you can just be front along guys

642
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 21: and you know, you get collisions and sometimes you know

643
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 21: they're sort of if he calls. But you know, I

644
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 21: don't know that we've had a ton of those, but

645
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 21: you know, I would I would emphasize again, like the

646
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 21: pressure we put on those guys, and you know, there's not.

647
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 9: A lot of help.

648
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 21: There's not a lot of easy downs for those guys.

649
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 21: There's not a lot of place to hide. Everybody can

650
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 21: see him on every single play. It takes a mentality

651
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 21: to do that, takes a skill set to do that.

652
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 21: And MJ has that. He's a He's had a great

653
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 21: year this year, as you know, I mean, it's been

654
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 21: it's been impressive to watch Pro Bowl. Didn't agree, but

655
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 21: you know, we're really.

656
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 9: Glad to have him. We're glad to have him and

657
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 9: Denzel and Newsome and everybody.

658
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 8: You are obviously leading the number one defense in the NFL.

659
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 13: This year is starting to be that time of year

660
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 13: where excellent coordinators are going to be getting.

661
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 23: Attention for head coaching jolt.

662
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 11: Would you like to be a head coach again?

663
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 23: How much would you like to be a.

664
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: Head coach here?

665
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 21: Well, first of all, I'm I'm really happy here talked

666
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 21: about Kevin. I haven't really talked about Andrew Berry or

667
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 21: the Haslums, but I love this organization.

668
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 9: I love the city of Cleveland.

669
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 21: That was such a such a great atmosphere thirty one

670
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 21: years in the NFL that was probably that was one

671
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 21: of my top five atmospheres. You know that Thursday night

672
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 21: we needed to share that with the players. You know,

673
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 21: we got a lot of energy from them. We needed

674
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 21: to give them a little energy pay them back. Not

675
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 21: many chances you have to be able to clinch at home,

676
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 21: so you know all that.

677
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 9: But but I'd say this, like in any any.

678
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 21: Job that you do, you always you always aspire to

679
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 21: the top of that profession.

680
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 9: And I'm no different there.

681
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 18: Obviously the name of the Pro Bowl last night, but

682
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 18: what as he's dealt with in Drew this season.

683
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 7: What has he meant to that corner room in his his.

684
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 21: Leadership style Denzel. Yeah, we're a better defense when Denzel's

685
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 21: on the field and healthy. You know, he's he's one

686
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 21: of the best corners I've coached in those in those

687
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 21: thirty one years, you know.

688
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 9: And he's he's at a battle.

689
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 21: You know, he he went through a month where he

690
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 21: either wasn't playing or you know, was playing, and he

691
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 21: wasn't one hundred percent. But he's rounding out in the

692
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 21: better physical condition as we get, you know, closer to

693
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 21: this end of the season in the postse and then

694
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 21: we need him, you know, not only his coverage, but

695
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 21: I think it's a little been a little bit underrated

696
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 21: about Denzel this year. Is up until the shoulder injury,

697
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 21: had been the tackling. He made some big hits for us,

698
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 21: made some big third down stops, came up and stuck

699
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 21: some screen passes, limited run after the catch, you know,

700
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 21: all those things. And you know, it hadn't always looked

701
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 21: great over the last month. But now he's getting better.

702
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 21: And you know, I think that's been a part of

703
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 21: his game that he was very serious about improving. I

704
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 21: think it showed and I think it will show as

705
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 21: as we go forward. He's got vet experience. You know,

706
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 21: he's he's he's another one. You know, we talked about Newsom,

707
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 21: we talked about MJ. You know, Denzel's never met a

708
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 21: one on one matchup that he didn't that he didn't relish,

709
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 21: that he didn't he didn't.

710
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 9: Want to win.

711
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 21: And we have confidence in those guys. They have confidence

712
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 21: in themselves. They are the tip of the spear when

713
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 21: it comes to our defense. We talk a lot about

714
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 21: our d line as our engine and thirty people that

715
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 21: give us the energy and the pace of which we play.

716
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 21: But you know, if a defensive lineman is out of

717
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 21: their gap or misses a play, nobody really notices it, right,

718
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 21: you know. I mean, it can get over It can

719
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 21: get overlooked because a linebacker goes up and fills a

720
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 21: gap or safety makes a tackle.

721
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 9: But if a corner.

722
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,239
Speaker 21: Fails on to play, everybody sees it.

723
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 15: It takes it.

724
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 21: It takes a different mentality to be able to live

725
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 21: with that. And Denzel's got Denzel's got that he can

726
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 21: play off, he can play press. You know, he's a

727
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 21: pleasure to coach. He gives us great leadership.

728
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 20: I mean you know what did you know what if

729
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 20: you noticed from Ronnie Hickman and DNC Bell behind the

730
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 20: scenes and you know, meetings, practices.

731
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 6: Whatever, to be able to be ready.

732
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 7: For what's happening.

733
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, like early in the season, you know,

734
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 21: we were pretty healthy at that position, and all of

735
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 21: a sudden it started hitting. You know, we lost Rodney Cloud,

736
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 21: we lost you know, Grant, we lost Wan and you know,

737
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 21: those guys who had different roles. Ronnie was inactive even

738
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 21: though he played in the opener, you know, because one

739
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 21: couldn't play in the opener, went in and played really

740
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 21: well for us. But you know those guys, those guys

741
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 21: like were ready when their time came. Ronnie made improvements

742
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 21: over the course of the year. Deep Bell made really

743
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 21: good improvements over the course of the year. Was a

744
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 21: special teams player, but kept working, and you know, and

745
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 21: those guys and Harmon, you know, I think that you know,

746
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 21: it's nothing like having your your starters, right, having Grant

747
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 21: and having Wan and you know those guys out there.

748
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 9: But it's it's life in the NFL.

749
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 21: You're not always going to have those And those guys

750
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 21: were ready when their their number was called. We saw

751
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 21: Ronnie making some plays in the preseason, and he's continued that.

752
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 9: The thing I've been.

753
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 21: Most proud about both of those guys had they've been

754
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 21: so assignment sound, and you know, Ronnie's a rookie and

755
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 21: you know d Bell's still a young player that's mainly

756
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 21: been a special team role, you know, and a lot

757
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 21: of times when those guys come in, you know, you're

758
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 21: sort of fighting assignment sound and you know, being in

759
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 21: the right spots. But you know, like you know, they've

760
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 21: they've they've been in the right spots. They've had very

761
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 21: few missed assignments. They've played like veterans, and you know,

762
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 21: at this point of the year there are no rookies

763
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 21: and h Ronnie has really lived that, you know, in

764
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 21: the perfect spot by the coverage and you know that

765
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 21: interception and that score number one, it brought the house down,

766
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 21: but you know that it really like you know, I

767
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 21: don't know how much of a game it was after that, right,

768
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 21: I think that was you know, like you know, there's

769
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 21: some people talk about the dagger and things like that,

770
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 21: even though that was early in the game, Like you

771
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 21: know that that was that that was really a dagger

772
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 21: and you know, he's that kind of playmaker. All those

773
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 21: guys have been impressive. Looks like, you know, we got

774
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 21: wom back for some snaps. You know, get those guys.

775
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,040

Speaker 25: these guys have been developing all season long and they

826
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 25: finally getting an opportunity to show, you know, what that

827
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,600

864
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 25: quality players in the off season, you know, because of the

00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 25: situations that are inevitable throughout the course of the season,

866
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 25: like Guy's getting hurt.

00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 25: Just his willingness to get better, his willingness to learn,

878
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,879

Speaker 25: you know, a lot of speed, a lot of good qualities.

882
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 15: For his position. Uh, it's very strong, he's a great blocker.

883
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 25: You know, the sky's a really the limit for him

884
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 25: because uh, you know, I can see him continueing to

885
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 25: get better each and every year even though he's in

886
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 25: his I believe he's in his seventh year. So you know,

887
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 25: I'm I'm happy for him that he got his first

888
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 25: Pro Bowl, real proud of him. Uh, but I'm sure

889
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 25: that there's many more to cones cool could you could?

890
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 7: You could have said them. It's just a matter of

891
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 7: time for him. You know, you're back with him for

892
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 7: a coach for years. But as you mentioned in the.

893
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 14: Talent and now, kind of the.

894
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 7: Production of the potential of your life.

895
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 25: Also, like I really can't speak on the years that

896
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 25: I wasn't here with or I mean, you know, uh,

897
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 25: you know, as a NFL player, you don't really get

898
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 25: to too much watch you know, other players, especially players

899
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 25: that aren't playing your position or your opposing position.

900
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 15: So I don't really know what what Day's career was.

901
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 25: Like before I got here, to be honest, M But

902
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 25: I know you know, when I did get here, I

903
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 25: one of the things I recognized about him is he

904
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 25: was really fast for a tight end. He usually you know,

905
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 25: you have like a tight end that has a lot

906
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 25: of good speed and stuff like that. Usually they are

907
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 25: only good for the past game, is uh, but I

908
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 25: notice right away that day if he uh, he's a

909
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 25: great blocker as well.

910
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 7: Wow, case he.

911
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 17: Approach shit at all for you knowing to play out there, Like,

912
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 17: do you do anything different than when the playoffs start?

913
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 6: Uh?

914
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 25: Nah, I I don't do anything different. I mean obviously

915
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 25: there's heightened awareness. You want to uh yeah, y y, yeah,

916
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 25: you might wanna do a little.

917
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 15: Extra, you know what I mean. You know, maybe some

918
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 15: more push ups, you know what I mean, if you

919
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 15: run a.

920
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 25: Little bit more because you you do get excited for

921
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 25: the playoffs and teams I would say from my experience,

922
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 25: they become more intentional, you know what I mean, Like

923
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 25: the game plan is a little bit sharper, Like everything

924
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 25: is just a little bit more sharper, so you know,

925
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 25: you you wanna stay sharp.

926
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 7: I'm really looks.

927
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,799

Speaker 15: You can't hear you sorry.

Speaker 2: How the the idea that there's like a loan with

932
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: you guys rest for a playoff game.

933
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 7: They get like time off and you.

934
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 24: At the season, and then they come out sluggish in

935
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 24: that game.

936
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 7: Every tide of you guys kind of combat that or

937
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 7: how true do you.

938
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 15: Think that really is?

939
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 5: Give over a senior.

940
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would say it's it's just a idea. It's

941
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 15: like the.

942
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 25: Whole Monday m Monday morning quarterback thing. It's like, uh,

943
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 25: you know, quarterback plays bad, it's easily to evaluate his performance,

944
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 25: you know, the day after and say, well.

945
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 15: He should have did this, he should have did that.

946
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 25: It's the same thing with you know, resting players, because

947
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 25: I mean, if a team goes out there and grind

948
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 25: the whole week, they'll say, you know, they work too hard.

949
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 25: So he can never be right unless you win.

950
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: Tight End David and Joku was the next one to talk.

951
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: He talked about his wild celebrations after the win on

952
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and also how excited he was to make

953
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl.

954
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 7: For making your first Pro Bowl, how does it feel?

955
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 19: It feels pretty good, hopefully for so many but honestly,

956
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 19: the best feeling is just being what I what I

957
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 19: can be for this team. You know, it's crazy saying that,

958
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 19: you know, thinking of the past and how everything went

959
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 19: the past few years, But there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

960
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: Say, what was it like the other night?

961
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 7: Just the have to celebrate with the fans.

962
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 15: It was a fun night, huh, I'm telling you.

963
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

964
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, watching it and doing it there were two different things.

965
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 19: Like doing it, I was like, whatever you know is

966
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 19: having a good time. In watching I was like, oh I.

967
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 15: I did some wild stuff. But uh it was awesome,

968
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 15: great feeling.

969
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 7: Kids, kids, Yeah, it's dope.

970
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 19: And then it's honestly vice versa. You know when I

971
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 19: when I started screaming, he started screaming.

972
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 15: So we both like the energy.

973
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, why do you think everything's coming together for

974
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: you this year?

975
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 14: Where you know, kind of your potential and production and

976
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 14: everything kind of intersected.

977
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 19: It was honestly, I owe all to God, you knows.

978
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 15: That's really how I feel.

979
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 19: It's it's it's all got God's work, you know, God's timing.

980
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 15: That's that.

981
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 14: So yeah, And a day like yesterday, when you get

982
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 14: that ward, do you do you reflect on what has

983
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 14: been here and and kind of your.

984
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 19: Journey as crazy as it sounds, you know, as crazy

985
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 19: as it sounds. You know, throughout my whole career, it

986
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 19: was always, you know, it was mostly about stats and

987
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 19: you know how many y'all are they can get, how

988
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 19: many touchdowns I can get? And the one year where

989
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 19: like I felt like not that I didn't care about it,

990
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 19: but more so the team was more important than than me, was.

991
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 15: The year that I made it, you know.

992
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 19: So it's it's really a funny how how that all

993
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 19: works out, kind of asen do you think?

994
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 8: Then?

995
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 15: I think, so, man, we not me?

996
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, what made that much for you?

997
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 19: I guess this year, probably after my face got burned off,

998
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 19: I was like, you know, uh number one, Uh, life,

999
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 19: no matter what, it is a beautiful thing, the finer

1000
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 19: things like just being able to see here, you know,

1001
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 19: senses and everything. And then as each week went by

1002
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 19: and it went by, you.

1003
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 15: Know, I started noticing them.

1004
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 19: I was caring more about what the the team needed

1005
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 19: to win more so than what I needed to be happy,

1006
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 19: And by doing that it also made me happy as well.

1007
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 15: So funny how how life works.

1008
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1009
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 7: So that being said, how meaningful is it for you

1010
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 7: to be going back to.

1011
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 11: The body else.

1012
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 19: In the world you know, everyone's asking me if I'm happy. Yeah,

1013
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 19: you know, I'm I'm happy with how we are so far,

1014
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 19: but that that the job's not finished and we're not

1015
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 19: nowhere near done, you know, so there's not really a

1016
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 19: reason to be happy yet.

1017
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 7: At David video for how long have you been looking?

1018
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 7: Would you come in?

1019
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: I think twenty seventeen thinking Pro Bowl is one of

1020
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: your goals?

1021
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 7: Like, how long have you been?

1022
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 19: I mean that was a long time ago. I'm not

1023
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 19: saying I'm old, but that was that was seven years ago.

1024
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 19: You know, I don't really remember back in my mindset.

1025
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 19: I was just young, you know, I just didn't really

1026
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 19: think of what I'm thinking about now, and uh, for anything.

1027
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 15: Else, you know, I.

1028
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 19: Obviously it would taking one week at a time. Yeah,

1029

Speaker 19: if you know, we all are playing, you know what

1044

1054
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 19: that upon us to be very prideful of that.

1055
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 15: So that's what we intend to do.

1056
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,200

Speaker 15: Twenty year old David.

1115
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 19: Was not thinking of the team as much like I

1116
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 19: was thinking about the team, but not to this extent.

1117
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 19: And me now is all I think about every every day,

1118

1119
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 19: do to help the team get better? And sometimes it's

1120
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 19: more mental, sometimes it's physical.

1121
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 15: So I just do whatever I can to help. David

1122
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 15: need face times to face your judging.

1123
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 19: Shot that that story you share, he told you that.

1124
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 7: That relationship, Well was that harder? What that was all about?

1125
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 7: How are you trying to show? You know, this is

1126
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 7: all about the team. This is what I want.

1127
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 15: I want to be to be I can't.

1128
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 19: But he told you that, it's I feel embarrassed. What's

1129
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 19: your questions? Was that what it was all about for you?

1130
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 20: Was it about, Hey, I want to be that guy

1131
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 20: for this team.

1132
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 7: I'm want to show you you know where my head's at.

1133
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 19: No, because he knows where where my head's at, and

1134
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 19: he knows, you know, where I stay with the team.

1135
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 19: It was more so, I guess it was more so

1136
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 19: for me because I because when I called him, the

1137
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 19: first thing he told me was I don't like.

1138
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 15: Don't worry about it or whatever.

1139
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 19: But it's not something that I take it lightly, you

1140
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 19: know what I mean, especially with like how everything was going,

1141
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 19: you know, losing uh Nick Chubb, losing the seam, losing

1142
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 19: a bunch of big time players that we have, and

1143
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 19: the guys got to step up. So it wasn't really

1144
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 19: like to show him that I'm about the team, but

1145
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 19: more so for.

1146
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 15: Me or anything.

1147
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 7: Do you feel like that was a turning point.

1148
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 19: For a year in this No, because I feel like

1149
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 19: I feel like it was just like like a like

1150
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 19: a bad game on the show.

1151
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 15: I felt like that name being but that doesn't really

1152
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 15: defined me. I never lost confidence in myself.

1153
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 11: Or the team.

1154
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 15: It was just more so something about I. I had

1155
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 15: to get off my chest.

1156
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 7: I guess well.

1157
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 24: Quarterback Denzel Award was next.

1158
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: He talked about how much Jim Schwartz has helped him

1159
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: grow as a player this season, and also how good

1160
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: Greg Newsome has been in the last month or so.

1161
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 10: That's some considering.

1162
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 7: Do you think you've got our season team beating off

1163
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 7: the evenings?

1164
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm grateful. It's a it's definitely a blessing. Uh,

1165
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 3: it's just a testament to the team. And because I

1166
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 3: wasn't able to do about myself, and uh, they've just

1167
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 3: been putting me in great positions all year to make plays.

1168
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 3: And but it's just a great test I thought. I've

1169
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 3: been doing as much as I can to help my

1170
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 3: team win, and uh, that's just been a main.

1171
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 24: Goal for me.

1172
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely appreciative of all the votes and everyone

1173
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 3: that selected me into the Pro Bowl. But we still

1174
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 3: got big plays ahead though.

1175
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 2: Saying about the team that there's five of you and

1176
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: and six homes to day and so many guys kind of.

1177
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 9: Got that nod.

1178
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of guys well deserving of making into

1179
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl. Ndjoku first Pro Bowl selection.

1180
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 24: We had a lot of guys.

1181
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 3: I still feel that we could have had a lot

1182
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 3: more guys make it into the Pro Bowl this year.

1183
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 3: But yes, it's just a it's a tough thing to

1184
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: get in. But definitely shout out to guys on our

1185
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:16,880

1193
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 3: he told it he's gonna demand a lot out of

00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1244
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 13: But a different landscape of things with COVID and all

1245
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 13: that or the crowd.

1246
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 2: That's there didn't feel like when did you meet to

Speaker 2: you to be out there on be.

1248
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 7: Able to share that moment for the place.

1249
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,120

1253
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,719

1254
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 3: get this far as just to get this far, so

1255
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 3: we're looking to make something happen in there, but looking

1256
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:08,880

1260
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 18: he had on you as a player. And obviously it's

1261
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 18: it's clear what the impact on the team with him

1262
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 18: being here, but just you know you.

1263
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 3: Talking about Jeri, Yeah, man, huge impact, more than I

1264
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 3: could probably even speak of in this moment. I'm very

1265
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 3: appreciative of coach Schwartz and uh, just his who he

1266
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 3: is as a person coming into this organization and the

1267
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 3: demands that he placed on us, and his coaching style

1268
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: and just how he's helped develop my game this year.

1269
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 3: I do feel that he's one of the key reasons

1270
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: to help that helped take my game to the next

1271
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: level this year. And just I don't know, I said,

1272
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 3: I can't say enough great things.

1273
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 24: About coach Schwartz.

1274
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 3: Uh, Like I said, he's he's a great coach and

Speaker 3: get this far as we are, making it to the playoffs.

1277

1279
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 24: Newsom? Yeah, yeah, Man Gray is a great player.

1280
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 3: I feel that's also a guy that I feel could

1281
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 3: have possibly made the Pro Bowl. But yeah, he's been

1282
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 3: playing great for us, making plays. He's such a versatile player,

1283
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 3: able to play the nickel, play outside at corner, and

1284
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:27,480

Speaker 3: Cleveland and the Pro Bowl and making it to the playoffs.

1300
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 24: I feel like it would be big for the city.

1301
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 3: Uh, the fact that we're in the playoffs, but also

1302
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 3: the opportunity to be able to push along further, and

1303
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: so I think it'd be big. It's all for the city. Offer,

1304
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,680

00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 7: It's kind of a fever dream for you, kind of

1308
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 7: looking at it like where you were up your entire

1309
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 7: life and.

1310
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 15: M hm, now you get this opportunity.

1311
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a sense, it's a great opportunity and I'm

1312
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 3: just taking it all in right now and just appreciative

1313
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 3: of the opportunity. And I say, just trying to go

1314
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: out there and do what I can help this team win.

1315
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 22: You.

1316
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Browns quarterback Jeff Driscoll was up next. He talked about

1317
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: his opportunity to start this week and what he has

1318
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: seen from the Browns as an outside.

1319
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 7: To meet you guys.

1320
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, happy to be here, Happy to be.

1321
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 20: Yeah.

1322
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 12: I don't know if that's surprising. I mean with the NFL,

1323
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 12: you know, things happen. I've been around long enough to understand, like,

1324
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 12: don't try to figure it out right, just handle the moment.

1325
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 12: And that's what I've been doing the last you know,

1326
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 12: five or six days, and just happy to be here.

1327
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 18: Kevin had mentioned you us, the fact that did you

1328
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 18: with Drew Venci who has been here and in the

1329
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 18: offense is really similar gym. So I guess in such

1330
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 18: a short amount of time here, has the transition been

1331
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 18: a little easier from a familiarity stand.

1332
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 12: Way, Yeah, I mean as much as uh, you know,

1333
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 12: one offense to another, there's probably not a much smoother transition,

1334
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 12: you know, terminology wise, obviously like somebody else calling it.

1335
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 15: You know, new guys around you.

1336
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 12: The bigger thing has been getting to know my teammates

1337
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 12: more than getting to know the system, which I think

1338
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 12: is a good thing.

1339
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 7: Jeff changing teams this slightly season this month game. Getting

1340
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 7: put in a game is another did you sign no?

1341
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 7: Will probably play?

1342
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 12: You know, you know I didn't know what was gonna happen.

1343
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 12: You know, when you get an opportunity to get on

1344
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 12: a fifty three man roster, you take it.

1345
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 7: You know that's typically the fastest path to the field,

1346
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 7: and you.

1347
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 12: Know that's that's what my thought process was. So came here,

1348
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 12: had a chance to get on a fifty three and uh,

1349
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 12: you know, looking forward to the opportunity on Sunday.

1350
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 24: So what was the initial car station?

1351
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 7: Was Heavin like, as he was telling you where to

1352
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 7: start plub just kind of working.

1353
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 5: For this week?

1354
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it was the same message that everybody got, Like,

1355
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 12: we're gonna go out and try to win this game.

1356
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 7: And that's what we've been.

1357
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 9: Doing all week.

1358
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 12: We've been you know, working hard, you know, getting to

1359
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 12: know our opponent, get to know the game plan.

1360
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 7: But that's really been the message, to go try to

1361
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 7: win a football games. So you said one of the

1362
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 7: best things that's getting in your team, asked.

1363
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 15: Joe, how you do that so hard?

1364
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 7: How my current here to get to know guys real quick?

1365
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I mentioned earlier like this the NFL

1366
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 12: like things happened.

1367
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 7: You know, my family thinks it's crazier than you know.

1368
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 7: You know, my teammates, teammates see people in the buildings

1369
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 7: all the time. There's two people in.

1370
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 12: Every building every week and that's just the name of

1371
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 12: the game. But yeah, just trying to get to know

1372
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 12: these guys on offensive defense and uh, it's a really

1373
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 12: good group of guys.

1374
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 15: How do you do with so just you know ABP

1375
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 15: and you know.

1376
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 7: And playing at.

1377
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean the level of familiar familiarity is huge.

1378
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 7: You know, seeing seeing a face that.

1379
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 12: You recognize and you know that's you've worked with is comforting.

1380
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 12: So it's been it's been good. To get back with

1381
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 12: him and being the room to him. So it's been

1382
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 12: really good.

1383
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 5: And you know it's like.

1384
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 12: Mexicill Yeah, it's like you said, from the outside, you

1385
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 12: don't really know much. You know, you see guys go

1386
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 12: down and you see a different guy in there, you know,

1387
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 12: throughout the season, and it's difficult. You know, you see

1388
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 12: teams where you know, a key player goes down and

1389
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 12: it just derails the season. And it's been it's been

1390
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 12: the opposite here and I think it's uh, you know,

1391
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 12: it's the way that the culture is built hill here,

1392
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 12: the way that the roster was built here. It really

1393
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 12: is a full team, and you know that's that's what

1394
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 12: it takes to be successful.

1395
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 18: I'll tell them, tell her the week when you're not

1396
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 18: only trying to learn this system here, but you also

1397
01:00:58,560 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 18: got to prepare.

1398
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 7: For his defense.

1399
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean all all all weeks are hard, right,

1400
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 12: Like there's a lot thrown at you week in and

1401
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 12: week out. So I mean it's a little bit of

1402
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 12: a challenge, you know, getting to you know, meet people

1403
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 12: for the first time, shake their hand and then go

1404
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 12: play with them. So that's a that's a little bit different.

1405
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean it's a really good defense and uh,

1406
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 12: you know, we've watched.

1407
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 7: A lot of tape on him.

1408
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 12: You know, the staff and the other guys here know

1409
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 12: them a little bit better than I do, just from

1410
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 12: playing in the last few years. But yeah, it's it's

1411
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 12: a challenge, but that's that's the NFL. It's a challenge

1412
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 12: every week.

1413
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 25: You know, you're the first quarterback and the series started

1414
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 25: into teams.

1415
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, I heard that.

1416
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 12: That's an interesting stat I'm surprised that, uh, but that's

1417
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 12: a thing.

1418
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 7: But yeah, I heard that. Whatever that means.

1419
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 12: Hi, Yeah, yeah, all right, and your first touchdown was

1420
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 12: against I.

1421
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 6: Do I do?

1422
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 15: Did uh?

1423
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 12: I remember a while came in for came in Yeah,

1424
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,479

1425
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 6: You know.

1426
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 12: I threw a touchdown on the scene to Tyler Boyd

1427
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 12: and he uh proceeded to throw them first touchdown ball

1428
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 12: in the stand.

1429
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1430
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 12: I looked around, like I asked the ref. I was like,

1431
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 12: where's the ball and he's like, I don't know, Like

Speaker 12: what you also scoring first touchdown in that game? Yeah,

1433
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 12: I think it was from about this far away. And yeah, no, no,

1434
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 12: not that one.

1435
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 26: And how you obviously did you know Joker before you No, No,

1436
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 26: I hadn't hadn't worked with him before, but he was

1437
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 26: in Denver the year before I was there, and uh,

1438
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 26: Brett Repin and Drew Locke.

1439
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 12: You know, said really good things about him, and uh

1440
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 12: all trip, I.

1441
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 7: Mean, you know, from the outside, not being unease, so

1442
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 7: just be impressives it for him to come in four

1443
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 7: in a row and just put at the number and

1444
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 7: you guys when he hadn't been on it today, Yeah,

1445
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 7: it's huge.

1446
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 12: He was you know, out of football the whole year

1447
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 12: and you know, just living you know, relatively civilian life.

1448
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 12: Coming in here, getting back into the swing of an

1449
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 12: NFL building NFL season and getting dressed in pretty quickly.

1450
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 12: It's uh, it's been fun to watch from the outside,

1451
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 12: but uh, you know, being being here and seeing it,

1452
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 12: I'm not surprised.

1453
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 7: You talked about just getting activated and getting another guys,

1454
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 7: about the locker room, just how taking.

1455
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Shutting the fact that there's five all this that's what's

1456
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 2: your first impression to some of the guys.

1457
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 12: That you have this talcme this, Yeah, I mean there's

1458
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 12: a reason that you know, the record is what it is.

1459
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,439
Speaker 12: Obviously it's a talented group, but like you mentioned, really

1460
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 12: tight knit group, really good guys across the board, and uh,

1461
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 12: you know you need that over the course of the season.

1462
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 7: I don't think so.

1463
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 12: I mean you and every player in this league, like

1464
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 12: their resume is what they put on the field. But

1465
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 12: you know, we're worried about winning this game, and that's

1466
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 12: that's all I'm worried about.

1467
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 7: If I start thinking about stuff.

1468
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,919
Speaker 12: Down the line, you know, whether this year here's to come,

1469
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 12: you know, I would be.

1470
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 7: Doing this team as a service. What were you You

1471
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 7: were here here like the Cardinals and they playing there? Yes,

1472
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 7: shut up. Yeah. What observations about the Brown's defense?

1473
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, tough, tough defense, right, like good schematically, you know,

1474
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 12: good physically and uh, really really deep units. So for

1475
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 12: the reason they're at the top of the league, you know,

1476
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 12: in terms of team defense, is there any thought that

1477
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 12: you might play in the team or did you know

1478
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 12: going in you know, like I was up that was

1479
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 12: the one year, that's this year that I was elevated

1480
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 12: for the practice squad. So I mean I had the

1481
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 12: I had the mindset that I'm one snipe away, you know,

1482
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 12: and that's that's reality. So I was I was prepared

1483
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 12: to plan and know what was gonna happen. But anytime

1484
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 12: you get back up, you gotta be ready to go.

1485
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 7: If you could to stick around, throw the playoffs. What

1486
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 7: you think he can help, Joe? What do you think

1487
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 7: he can?

1488
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 15: I don't know.

1489
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 12: I mean he's he's been there, done that Super Bowl

1490
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 12: winning quarterback, you know, playing sixteen seventeen years now, you know, obviously,

1491
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 12: and support him in whatever way I can. I don't

1492
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 12: know what that is, but uh, you know, just like

1493
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 12: to every other teammate, I'll do the same to him.

1494
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 7: And it's just a be a good team again and

1495
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 7: even games.

1496
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean you gotta kill it out right, like

1497
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 12: you gotta just you know, see what he likes. You

1498
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 12: know how the communication goes in the sideline, and uh,

1499
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 12: sometimes guys like to talk it out.

1500
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 7: Sometimes it's just like to play it. So gonna do

1501
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 7: what I can and just be a good teammate.

1502
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Pro Bowler and All Pro guard Joel Buttonio was the

1503
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: last to go at the podium today. He talked about

1504
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: how cool it was to make his sixth consecutive Pro

1505
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Bowl and also if the NFL maybe needs to make

1506
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a change in their playoff structure, you agree.

01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 22: like it's such a group award and and you know

1529
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 22: you're playing with guys like Coop and you know this

1530
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 22: year forward and David and Joe who are making great

1531
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 22: plays and they help us, you know, look good.

1532
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 15: We try and help them look good. But but it's

1533
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 15: an honor.

1534
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 22: And and uh, you know, have six I saw Dan

1538
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 22: I was like, that's a pretty pretty special company that

1539
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 22: that was the one that kind of like made me go, wow,

1540
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 22: like this is pretty cool because you live in the

1541
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 22: moment from season to season and you try and take

1542
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 22: it one game at a time. But but like I said,

1543
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 22: anytime you recognize it's it's a great honor. And you know,

1544
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 22: we'll see about the other stuff. You know, I'm just

1545
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 22: trying to do the best we can this year. And

1546
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 22: uh well we'll go from there.

1547
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 7: A good Guy Awards the all time and there.

1548
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 15: Put that on the resume.

1549
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 17: Yeah here the whole time, David and Joku, And then

1550
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 17: we asked you by.

1551
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 18: Him as a team and as such a what does

1552
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 18: it like to see a teammate.

1553
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 14: Then you know, beatbol Ward and have everything kind of

1554
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 14: finally come together for him this season.

1555
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 22: Yeah, I thought we had a lot of guys that

1556
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 22: deserve recognition, but but David was one that I was,

1557
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 22: you know, a couple of weeks I was like, man,

1558
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 22: I really hope he makes the Pro Bowl this year

1559
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 22: because because he's deserved it. He's work the person he is,

1560
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 22: and he came in as a twenty year old. You know, like,

1561
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 22: I don't know what you expect a twenty year old

1562
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 22: to do when your your first round draft pick. But

1563
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 22: I know coach the Fantasy has talked about it. But

1564
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 22: the way he's mature and the way he's been a

1565
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 22: core part of this team and one of our leaders,

1566
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 22: one of our playmakers, it's been special when little run

1567
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 22: he's been on, catching passes and making plays for us.

1568
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 22: I was so pumped him when when when I heard

1569
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 22: he made it, because because just the change he's made,

1570
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 22: you know, I mean, I don't know how many times

1571
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 22: he asked for a trade or wanted to get out

1572
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 22: of here, and it takes time to learn and develop

1573
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 22: and he's done all those things. So for him, I

1574
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 22: know that was that was really special.

1575
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 15: Joe.

1576
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 17: You know, you head the back and you had to

1577
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 17: knee you're on and within a week is this just

1578
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 17: beat upcause you've ever been.

1579
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 15: In the sea.

1580
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's just one thing after another for me, you know,

1581
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 22: and certain things I don't know if it's like a

1582
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 22: domino effect with the knee, and you know, everything kind

1583
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 22: of just works together and it adds on. Luckily for me,

1584
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 22: I've been able to play through most of it, you

1585
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 22: know what I mean. But yeah, the the you know,

1586
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 22: just just the body being beat up, and certainly like

1587
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 22: you're always beat up, you know what I mean. But

1588
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 22: these are things that are you know, kind of just

1589
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 22: like dang, that's annoying me right now. But but hopefully,

1590
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,520
Speaker 22: like you know, we get this little stretch here, and

1591
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 22: we get the body as good as possible going into

1592
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 22: the playoffs and and really make a run at it.

1593
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 7: You know, you makeles kind of like a team of war.

1594
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 18: I know they didn't make it per se, but the

1595
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 18: fact that Ethan and Whyatt were named alternates. How cool

1596
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 18: is it that the entire interior of this offensive line

1597
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 18: has been recognized.

1598
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's great. I mean, those guys are playing at

1599
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 22: a high level. They're competing every day. You know, we

1600
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 22: wanted to be one of the stronger old lines in

1601
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 22: the league, and then you lose your top three four tackles,

1602
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 22: but the inside three, I think I stayed helpful for

1603
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 22: the most part. You know why, it's played every snap

1604
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 22: so far this year. It's done a good job in

1605
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 22: PO I think has gotten his chance to prove that

1606
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 22: he's a good center in this league. And it's so

1607
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,600
Speaker 22: tough with the problem because I think you'll go to

1608
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 22: the top five centers in the AFC, and I think

1609
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 22: you'll get their play, and it's like all of them

1610
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 22: are very similar. It's just kind of who got the

1611
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 22: vote here or there to get in. Same with the guards.

1612
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 22: I mean, we know why. It's a great player, and

1613
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 22: he's made some some you know, awesome blocks for us

1614
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 22: over the years, and you know, hopefully those guys get

1615
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 22: a chance to get get recognized as well. But like

1616
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 22: you said, being an alternative is big.

1617
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 15: You know.

1618
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 22: I'll shout out Jok too and Dustin. I think both

1619
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 22: those guys truly deserve to get in. You know, obviously

1620
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 22: just Tucker's, you know, one of the greatest kickers of

1621
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 22: all time. But I think if you look at Dustin's

1622
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 22: body of work, the game winners, the fifty for you know,

1623
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 22: fifty yard plus, he's done such a good job for

1624
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 22: us this year and he's you know, part of a

1625
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 22: lot of those wins. And then again, like Jok, he

1626
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 22: plays outside linebacker off the ball, and he's in the

1627
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 22: same voting group as guys that are great players and

1628
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 22: t J. Watt and Trey Henderson, but they just play

1629
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 22: different positions, you know, and so it's hard for those

1630
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 22: guys to get their recondition.

1631
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,560
Speaker 15: I'm glad he got some recognition.

1632
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 22: But but yeah, it's one of those things where you

1633
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 22: want to see as many of your guys get recognitioned

1634
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 22: as possible because it's, uh, it means the team's doing

1635
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 22: pretty well still.

1636
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 12: Jim Schwartz from the atmosphere of the Jets gaging me

1637
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 12: just fine for year or how about you?

1638
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 22: Yeah, it was great, you know, running out of the

1639
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 22: tunnel was was pretty cool with the lights out and

1640
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 22: the and the you know, all the all the lights

1641
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 22: going on, the light show, and then I don't think

1642
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 22: the crowd ever got quiet, Like it was so loud

1643
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 22: when we were on the bench waiting and and some

1644
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 22: of those big plays that that Placco made.

1645
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 15: Uh, it was. It was pretty awesome experience.

1646
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 22: And then we go to the playoffs after that and

1647
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 22: I think everybody suck around.

1648
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 15: It was very fun. It's definitely up there.

1649
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 22: It's definitely, you know, one of the top atmospheres for

1650
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 22: for home games I've ever been in. At the end, no,

1651
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 22: I didn't, I wash. You gotta be careful with you know,

1652
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 22: he came down with a mysterious illness yesterday, so we'll

1653
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 22: see what happened with that. But uh, but no, I

1654
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 22: think it's just a testament to our fans. They've been

1655
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,839
Speaker 22: great all year and it's truly a home field advantage

1656
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 22: for us.

1657
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 6: It was.

1658
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 15: It was fun to celebrate with.

1659
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 17: Him, though we talked a lot, but overcoming all the

1660
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 17: year he's obviously was du a moment every.

1661
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 7: Time when he said, hey, we're gonna be okay despite

1662
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 7: all these.

1663
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 15: Kind of I don't know if we had time.

1664
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 22: To like think about it, because I feel, like you said,

1665
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 22: every week it was something new with some major, big, big,

1666
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 22: you know, debilitating injury, and coach Fancy was so smooth

1667
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 22: and even kill about it, and he never he never

1668
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 22: showed us he word, you know. When Deshaun went down, obviously,

1669
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 22: we were like like we had just played our best

1670
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 22: game you know as an offense that second half from Baltimore,

1671
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 22: and we came out with a win. And I think

1672
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 22: we were riding high and there was a second there

1673
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 22: where it's like dang again, you know what I mean,

1674
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 22: Like we we just got to this point. So I

1675
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 22: think everybody, like to a man, would say like there

1676
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 22: was a question at that point. But but the next day,

1677
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 22: I think we were ready to roll and we were like, hey,

1678
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 22: we got a chance to keep winning. Our defense is

1679
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 22: playing great, they got to keep it up. And and

1680
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 22: you know, now we've had a flatco here and he's

1681
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 22: he's played amazing football, but it's just been the next

1682
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 22: man up a year and it's such a cliche. But

1683
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 22: when it's when it's part of your culture, it's it's

1684
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 22: not a cliche anymore.

1685
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 7: Speaking why you make you fit in? Here's quick clean

1686
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 7: as well as he I.

1687
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 15: Think he's just a good guy, a good person.

1688
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 22: He loves playing ball, and he wants to win, and

1689
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 22: in all those things make it easy to fit in,

1690
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 22: you know, you know, and they say winning cures all

1691
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 22: in that sense. But but he's been he's been great

1692
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 22: from the from the start. He's easy to talk to

1693
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 22: you as so many stories, he's had so much experiences

1694
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 22: that I think the locker room we just wanted to

1695
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 22: gravitate to that.

1696
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: Jill, can you talk about the atmosphere on the set

1697
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 2: of curiosity? Do you think that the structure of the

1698
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 2: playoffs should.

1699
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 7: Be revisited about the adult.

1700
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 2: Terms of where a team sort of finish and it

1701
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 2: doesn't get you almost get rid of the division the

1702
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 2: part of it where like the NBA where if you're

1703
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 2: on you because if there's you guys like you're eleven

1704
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 2: to five, you have the second best.

1705
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 7: Record in AFC right now, that's your you're gonna.

1706
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 22: Be able to fIF Yeah, it's I know you guys

1707
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 22: don't care to right, but just know it's something.

1708
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 15: It's something to think about.

1709
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,560
Speaker 22: You know, you could have the division winners getting the

1710
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 22: playoffs no matter what, but it's kind of reseeded to

1711
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,639
Speaker 22: be best records and stuff like that gives people something

1712
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 22: to play for later in the year. You know, your

1713
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 22: division is is is kind of one of those things

1714
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 22: that's the goal. You want to win your division because

1715
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 22: that gets your ticket automatically. But it would be it

1716
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 22: would be nice, you know, like you said, we have

1717
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 22: the second best record in the ANFC right now, would

1718
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 22: be great to have a home playoff game in those situations. Uh,

1719
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 22: but you know, the team we're gonna play is is

1720
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 22: gonna win their division and and that's always tough to

1721
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 22: do too. So I see both both sides of it,

1722
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 22: but I wouldn't be opposed to them looking, you know,

1723
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 22: to to adjust it where the better record might could

1724
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 22: home field manager of some of that nature.
