Speaker 1: Buy that play. Actually, that was a third play in
Speaker 1: a row that we ran down there. The first two
Speaker 1: plays actually had that killed attached to it. It was
Speaker 1: a kill play. It was a run kill to that play.
Speaker 1: And uh we just you know, I just Nick and
Speaker 1: I we talked on the sideline and we said, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's let's let's just run the sprint out. Um. So,
Speaker 1: actually that was that was a third play in a
Speaker 1: row that we ran and well executed success successfully ran
Speaker 1: that play in two thousand and twelve to win a
Speaker 1: game in the last second touchdown to Jeremy mcliff. If
Speaker 1: you were calling he called Tampa Bay. Yeah, this one too,
Speaker 1: I mean was getting called now. It was it was
Speaker 1: it was still part of the game plan. I mean,
Speaker 1: we just we knew that. Uh. I had a feeling
Speaker 1: that that that coach fan Joe, he's a zero blitz
Speaker 1: guy when you kind of got to have it and
Speaker 1: and I felt like that there was the best thing
Speaker 1: to do is get him on the move. At that time,
Speaker 1: he appeared to be still pretty emotional for the lock crew.
Speaker 1: I saw him. I still do. Actually I know, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am. I disagree with what I mean, just us overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good football team. And uh, um,
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Naggy did a great job this season,
Speaker 1: and and my hat's off to him and and that
Speaker 1: Chicago Bear team. It's it's a tremendous football team. And
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, just for us to come in here
Speaker 1: and just just hang together for sixty minutes. We knew
Speaker 1: it was gonna be that type of football game, and um,
Speaker 1: we hung in there. We made it wasn't pretty at times,
Speaker 1: but we made the plays when we needed to. And
Speaker 1: and my hat's off to to our guys, and and
Speaker 1: then and my coaches like the legend of me being
Speaker 1: able to continue to do this. That final drive you're down,
Speaker 1: comes down the field, down to that last playoff board down.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just all he seems to get it
Speaker 1: done the biggest moments. Yeah, and you know, and he
Speaker 1: had Let's had some help. Um, you know, Golden obviously
Speaker 1: making the play at the end, Alshall made a big catch,
Speaker 1: Dallas made some huge catches. Zac I mean just go
Speaker 1: around the around the room there, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: Nick is Nick is Nick. He's gonna stay calm, He's
Speaker 1: gonna stay collected. Um, just you know, very efficient. You know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't uh again, it wasn't pretty times. I don't
Speaker 1: know that. You know, the two turnovers early in the
Speaker 1: first half which could have led to some points. But
Speaker 1: you know, he hung in there and did some good
Speaker 1: things for that final drive there and set up for
Speaker 1: the field goal. What's going on in your mind in
Speaker 1: that situation, Well, we were still talking scenarios for us offensively. Um,
Speaker 1: I still had one time out I think at the time,
Speaker 1: and you know, um just preparing to get the ball
Speaker 1: back and and see how much time we had and
Speaker 1: just kind of getting ready for the next series. Keep
Speaker 1: that time out in case you had to start going
Speaker 1: the other way. Yeah, I mean we could have. There
Speaker 1: could have been several things obviously, I mean, you know, um,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, it turned out to be a
Speaker 1: pretty good decision to save it on the on the
Speaker 1: final play the game. Cody Parky earlier in the game
Speaker 1: didn't work. So were you thinking to yourself, do I
Speaker 1: do it or not do it? Or you were just gonnay,
Speaker 1: I was doing it regardless, I was doing I wasn't
Speaker 1: even thinking about the first half. I was gonna use it,
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna take it with me, But what is it
Speaker 1: to it makes him different in those moments. I mean
Speaker 1: he had the middle of the game, then the last
Speaker 1: four minutes were no matter what we've come to. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm realistic. You know, it's it's playing it's playing quarterback
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. It's it's not always gonna
Speaker 1: be pretty. Um And and you know, would you have
Speaker 1: you have confidence in your offense, you have confidence in
Speaker 1: your quarterback, and you know you put it quite frankly
Speaker 1: put it in his hands to to win. And you
Speaker 1: know he just does a great job of just staying
Speaker 1: staying in the moment, staying calm, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: no panic. There was no panic on on offense or
Speaker 1: on the sideline. And um, even after we punted the
Speaker 1: football there, um felt like, you know, defense got a
Speaker 1: three and out. We just offensively just say, hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna put a drive together and score and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, well we set our mind to it, we
Speaker 1: did it. It would do everything that he normally would do.
Speaker 1: Was he limited by the Yeah, now now he actually
Speaker 1: did did everything. Um, you know we had to walk
Speaker 1: through on Wednesdays, there's not a ton of throwing there.
Speaker 1: And then Thursday, you know, took everything on Thursday and Friday, So, um,
Speaker 1: he had a normal week when you when out showing
Speaker 1: I caught that first down passed down to the two
Speaker 1: you had two runs called first Well those are the
Speaker 1: two those are the two plays that had that kill
Speaker 1: attached to it. We still had plenty of time and
Speaker 1: and uh you know, so at the time I was
Speaker 1: there and and uh you know, it's a run killed
Speaker 1: a pass. So we kind of had the best of
Speaker 1: both worlds there. Um and you know, credit the Bears.
Speaker 1: They came off the edge with the outside back or
Speaker 1: there and and uh an tackle us and and fortunately
Speaker 1: we were able to finish the drive first down in
Speaker 1: the first half. The second half kind of switched U
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Was that was that the plan
Speaker 1: a little bit? You know, I probably could have, you know,
Speaker 1: called a few more passes on first down early in
Speaker 1: the game, particularly on first down. So I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: look at that, uh you know, tomorrow and get better
Speaker 1: the experience experience for you guys, especially that last drive.
Speaker 1: You guys have done this before, you Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think there's a lot of comm and it's
Speaker 1: in the in the room, you know, the team, Um,
Speaker 1: guys understand that you know, everything matters, every play matters. Um,
Speaker 1: these games, these these these these postseason games are gonna
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna be full sixty minute games and um,
Speaker 1: you know, and just uh it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: just just staying in the moment. You know. I don't
Speaker 1: let things to get too to too too big for us.
Speaker 1: And uh you know, UM rely on your playmakers to
Speaker 1: make plays. And you know, I do think that being
Speaker 1: in this situation last year has has prepared us for
Speaker 1: this for this time. The message to the players message
Speaker 1: basically was was, uh, you know, team effort, great team effort. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, part of part of uh you know, to
Speaker 1: to just to go one to know each week and
Speaker 1: gives ourselves an another opportunity next week. And um, guys
Speaker 1: are excited, guys are thrilled, but uh, we know that
Speaker 1: we've got to clean some things up and get ready
Speaker 1: for next week. Protection calcul on and you face side
Speaker 1: with when you offensive line held up our offensive line
Speaker 1: did some did some great things. I mean they really
Speaker 1: held up well. Um, you know, without looking at any numbers,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what the sacks or pressures
Speaker 1: hurries are but um, you know, gave gave Nick some
Speaker 1: time to throw and and pushed the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: And you know sometimes sometimes uh, you know it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen that way where you gotta you gotta throw a
Speaker 1: little bit more than you'd like to. But uh, our
Speaker 1: offensive line did did a nice job this year. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts about going back and trying to make some amends, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't very good the first time. And
Speaker 1: you know, um, we'll take a look at that film. Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at this one. I think I
Speaker 1: think we're we're a different football team now than we
Speaker 1: were then. And you know, we just gotta put a
Speaker 1: good plan together in all three phases and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: go back down there, we're on the roads. Can be
Speaker 1: an doomans, can be loud again, all those things, and um,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great atmosphere at all. With Anie
Speaker 1: Jackson not playing, I know he elviously can make a
Speaker 1: big difference back there. Yeah, no, it didn't, it didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we stuck to what we had a lot of guys
Speaker 1: we're talking about this weekday. By the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we're going to be the better defense let's talked about it, Brandon,
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of guys. Did for your defense
Speaker 1: to come in here and really contain them and most
Speaker 1: of the game with all the injuries you've had. What
Speaker 1: does it say about this defense that you know, kind
Speaker 1: of patchworth guys out there at times pretty big game.
Speaker 1: It just shows that one they're they're getting better as
Speaker 1: a unit, playing together with some of the young guys
Speaker 1: that are out there. Um, I think I think Maddox
Speaker 1: is playing well. LeBlanc is playing well in the back end.
Speaker 1: You know, Trey has come on. I wish you would
Speaker 1: have caught the ball there at the end of the half,
Speaker 1: but but he's been coming on and and really resolved, resolves.
Speaker 1: He's done a nice job here down the stretch. And
Speaker 1: those young players are just getting valuable experience. And um,
Speaker 1: that's what it takes. And then our defense has a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence right now. We know that it starts
Speaker 1: up front with our with our front four, um, putting
Speaker 1: pressure on quarterbacks and trying to stop the run. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, they did a nice job today. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Let me all right, this is
Speaker 1: the same
