1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: A lot of the guys are A couple of the

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: guys who've already spoken have kind of talked about the

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: timing of this bye week for you, a guy who

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: you know has played through some injuries and stuff. But

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, how do you reset yourself for this push

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: in these last few games, in these last five games.

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, the first few days of the bye

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: week was literally just getting rest. I had my family

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: in town for a few days for Thanksgiving, so to

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: spend time with the family, let my body recover, and

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: then later in the week just trying to get some

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: lifts in, some recovery, some treatment, just to get my

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: body primed to go for this last stretch.

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: Andrew, if I could.

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Take you back to the opener, how much did that injury?

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: You know, just set you back?

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: As you look back on it now, it's tough.

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: I mean you trained all season to be healthy, you know,

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: coming off a really good year, so I was trying

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: to build on it.

21
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: But injuries happened. It's part of this game.

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Just got to find a way to one stay healthy

23
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: and two just recover as bad as I can if

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: something does happen, and if I could.

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Quickly just follow up would your.

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: Season have been different, Andrew if the moment you felt

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: that hamstring, you would have gone out of the game.

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: You can, you know, make assumptions or what ifs, But

30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: my mindset is if I can go, I'm gonna try

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: to go. Sometimes that may be a hindrance, but that's

32
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: just the way I play football, and I don't think

33
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: that's gonna change.

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: Thank you.

35
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: All. Schwartz.

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: Hey, Andrew, how you doing good?

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: Good? The buy coming so late?

38
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 5: You know you can you know, sometimes you have ten

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 5: twelve games to go, you only have five to go,

40
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: so you can sort of see the finish line. What

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: would you say if asked, like I am, what is

42
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: there to play for in these last five games?

43
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: First?

44
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: I would just say football starts after Thanksgiving. You know,

45
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: we got a lot of NFC opponents. You never know

46
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: what can happen. And then outside of the playoffs, just

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: I said this earlier in another interview, we get an

48
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to play football like this. This has been our

49
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: dream for a long time. So anytime you step on

50
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: the field, you want to, you know, put your best

51
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: foot forward.

52
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Is that enough of an incentive? Do you think? You know?

53
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: I mean so many teams are are really.

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 5: In that playoff push, and you you know, you know

55
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: what it's like last year, you know what it was

56
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 5: like in college.

57
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: Is it enough just to kind of hope?

58
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: I think it is.

59
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: I think as a team, you control your own destiny

60
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: as long as you go out there and do the

61
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: things that that it takes to win.

62
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: So we're just focused on getting one win at a time.

63
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 5: And when Georgia lost that game, sorry to bring up

64
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 5: this this memory, did you think they were out of

65
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs?

66
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: So do you think they should be in?

67
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: I did it.

68
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: I felt like they're one of the best four teams

69
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: if that's what the criteria is. But I don't make

70
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: that decision, and better luck next year.

71
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: You watch the game, the whole game.

72
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: I did watch it.

73
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Any remote controls being thrown around or anything?

74
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: Are you pretty calm?

75
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: Nah? I got pretty hype.

76
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: Any destruction or everything stayed?

77
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: Okay, no destruction, but a lot of yelling. My neighbors

78
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: probably wondering what was going on.

79
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry about your loss and your neighbors.

80
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: Yep.

81
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: At Valentine, Hey, Andrew, you know you've been asked about injuries,

82
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: and we know that even when you came back from

83
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: the hamstring injury. You know, you've been dealing with with

84
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: another injury, with the knee injury, and I've been asked,

85
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: you know, why is he playing?

86
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 5: Why is it important to you to continue to play.

87
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: Even though the season hasn't hasn't gone the way the

88
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: way that you'd like it to go, you know, you

89
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: and other guys as well.

90
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you only get seventeen guarantee opportunities every year. So

91
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: if I have an opportunity to play, I'm gonna take

92
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: advantage of that. You never know what can happen. The

93
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: average careers three and a half years. Like, anytime I

94
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: get an opportunity to play, I'm gonna do it, regardless

95
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: it for seventeen and no or we haven't won a

96
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: game at all. That's just the mindset, and a lot

97
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: of guys on the team have the same mindset as well.

98
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: Thank you, Ern Schwartz, Hey, Andrew.

99
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: I'm good. Are you good?

100
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just just as alignment, you know, Divito being

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: a rookie, Tyrod Taylor being a long time vet. You know,

102
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: just what are some of the differences, you know you

103
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: kind of notice, you know, between the two.

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously Tyrod, you know, the veteran presence, like he's

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: been the league, I think it's thirteen years. The veto

106
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: brings in like energy, juice. He's you know, still learning

107
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: the game and you know that works out for him.

108
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: So but yeah, they're they're different guys, but we trust

109
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: both of those guys. Whatever, you know, the coaches the side,

110
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: that's what we're we'll go with and we're going to

111
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: protect the same and run block the same regards.

112
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: So who's back there,
