1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone a stretch where you've gone seven

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: games without rushing for a hundred yards? Um? I mean

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: it's only my second NFL, so I don't think so.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: But even in college, I mean or high school or

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: anything like. Definitely high school and the college you only

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: play like eleven games. So I don't think I would

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: have got drafted that high if I went to seven

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: games with one hundred yards. But uh yeah, I guess

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: so this is I don't care about that. Actually want

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: to win. To be honest, what is it? What do

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: you look at and take? This is kind of the

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: reason we haven't been a want to put together that

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: big run game. I mean, I think you can look

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: and you can see a lot of focal point of

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: defensive is to stop the run. UM. But I think

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: we're doing a good job of taking what the defense

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: giving us. UM. You know, read these last couple of weeks.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: I think we've been getting thirty runs taking those four

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: and those fives. UM. But the game also got to

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: present you to continue to run the ball. Uh. He

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: goes did a really good job, especially in the full quarter.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: UM in the second half of you know, holding the

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: ball UM. I don't even know the time possession, but

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: definitely was in a favor. UM. Green Bay they got

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: up on us. So you know, you to a lot

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: of teams just the mindset to go throw the ball,

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: to come back and try on the game. UM. In

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Chicago they got up on us. So I think, you know,

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games, we've been averaging four

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: or four or four point five around around there. UM.

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: But you've got to be able to continue to run

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the ball into in the fourth quarter. UM. You know,

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: obviously obviously everyone wants those big six yard eight yr runs, UM,

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: but sometimes those come by just wearing defense down, and

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: we haven't really got opportunity to do that. I don't

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: think we've been in a four minute situation uh yet

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: this season or that I've been a part of. If

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: you had a chance that you have to talk to

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: UM Jodd Gurley at all about sort of how his

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: career Jack Free went from his first year to the second,

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: which was you know, because I mean you are you're

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: aware of that, you know he sort of you know,

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: his numbers certainly, uh came down. Yeah, he went like

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: what he won a thousand yards and like eight hundred

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: yards and then thousand thousand and then and then got

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: banked up again. And I mean I just know that

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: just obviously just doing research on running backs and being

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: a fan of running backs. UM. But uh no, I've

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: never I didn't reach out to reach out to him

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: for that. UM. I know I can. I know he

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: will definitely give me great advice. UM, but I'm not

52
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: really looking forward. I don't care for the numbers. I

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: don't care for the stats. Um. You know, I don't

54
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: care if I finished the season with thousand yards or not. Um.

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: The season of disappointment just because we're not play up contenders. Um.

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: And that's the whole mindset, that's a whole focal point

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: of it. Well he sort of was in that too,

58
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and they turn it around, right, So that's why,

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, that's why I keep preaching believing and just

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: keep coming in and work every single day. Um. Because

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: I keep preaching you guys and keep preaching the team.

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: UM just will turn around. UM. Obviously it's not going away.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: But like it. But just because its not going away,

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: you like it, and your face in adversity don't mean

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: you've gotta change your ways or succumb to what I

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: guess the losing culture that it's supposed to be. But

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: we're not having that. We're not gonna do that. And

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: when it does work, it's gonna work. It's gonna be

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: working for a very long time. It's like one of

70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: your sort advice from anybody about how to you know,

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: handle the losing and stay optimistic and all that. You know.

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean only people I saw advices and my family,

73
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: my parents, uh, you know those I mean obviously I've

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: talked to like like Jesse and other former players here,

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: David Tybrey and those guys. So just everyone has losing something,

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: has those those seasons. Um. But for a personal for

77
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: my person self, you know, talk to my family and

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: talk to my parents. But you know, I'm a grown man.

79
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta deal with yourself. Um. You gotta

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: come out and figure it out. Like I said, a

81
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: great figure it out. And I want to be great

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: and I want to seem to be great. Um. And

83
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help and find a way to do my

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: job to help us turn this culture around and get

85
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: back to a winning culture. Um. And that's just by

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: coming to work every single day and try to do

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: a little things right. How much better to feel really good. Actually,

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: I feel really good. UM, probably feel the best, to

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: be honest, A lot of people in league. Um, I

90
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: was banged up earlier year. So I'm getting better and

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: better each week. Um. You know it's not so much

92
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: as the injury, uh that I guess you could say

93
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I was holding holding me back. Um, even though physically

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: you feel like you're bad, mentally you might be telling

95
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: yourself that you're back when you watch yourself on film

96
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: and you see you can just see the way that

97
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: you're running and you're protecting yourself. Um, and you don't

98
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: even think you're doing it, but just naturally just happening. Um.

99
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: But then I'm again better and about it each week.

100
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: My body is getting healthy. You have through each week. Um,

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: so try to finish tea, even to do anything with

102
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: the angle at thissappointed me. Oh, not just something I do.

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: I do stuff all the time. I mean you can't

104
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: just like stop doing it and that's when it gets

105
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: hurt again. Um, you know, especially Yeah, it's maintenance. I

106
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: just do a lot of maintence on my body just

107
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: in general. It's not just only focused on my ankle. Um,

108
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: just on my body and just try to get my

109
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: body better and um stay strong throughout the season. And UM,

110
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: you know I don't want to just be a great

111
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: running back for two or three years. I'm gonna be

112
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: a great running back for ten years plus. Um. And

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: they started on focusing on the little things. Now, is

114
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: it important to you to get Daniel back in the lineup.

115
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes you build something for the future and you guys

116
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: can put a W or two together, you know, together

117
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: with him at QUD like looking towards because not something

118
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: that would be important to Um. No, the only thing

119
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: is important to us right now. It is finishing the

120
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: stagon all strong. Um. We got a chance to finish

121
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: season three three games in a row. UM, and I

122
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: think so positive or even in our division, Um, that

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: would that would be a great, great way to finish

124
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: on the season. But um, you know it starts with

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Miami when you set back the game. But you said

126
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: game this team, for whatever reason, he finds ways to

127
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: others right what needs to be different to turn the

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: page and finding ways to know what what has to change.

129
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: That's a great question actually, um, and that's a question

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out. UM. And I don't mean

131
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: to come off like a uh like I'm coming at

132
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: you anything. But if we knew that answer, UM, I

133
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: promise you, we wouldn't be two and twelve. UM. But

134
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the way I guess you can do it is just,

135
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, go back to your roots. You know, a

136
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of people come from in this

137
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: building and then in socility comes from winning programs. Um,

138
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: have won a lot of games. And when it comes

139
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: back to it, the way you win games a boy

140
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: doing a little things right, UM on the field. Also

141
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: just because you're doing a little things right in here, UM,

142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: and obviously you can see the the vibes and the

143
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: mentality of the the team in the locker room is still

144
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: up and still high. And you know we're not going

145
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: at each other. We're not you know, we're not going downhill.

146
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I feel like, UM, we're coming to practice and we're

147
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: still grinding every single day. Because you're doing those little

148
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: things right, you also gotta do the little things right

149
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: on the field, and UM, that's what we gotta do

150
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: and that's what we're not doing. So that's I guess

151
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: we will answer the question. I know that's a long answer.

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: The answer your question is, UM, just as to you

153
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: better on on Sundays when you look at the season

154
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: and you look compared to the first year, do you

155
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: see teams approaching you any differently, Like this guy is

156
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: not going to beat us now. I don't think that's

157
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: the case. A lot of when you when people struggle,

158
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: A lot of times you talk about trying to maintain consistency,

159
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: But when things are going like this, do you revisit

160
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, either your regiment or as a team, and

161
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: like make drastic changes, to try to make drastic changes

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: to them. I say, I think when when things are

163
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: going like this and you're losing, you're losing the end

164
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: of it, I think it's important to remind yourself and

165
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: remember this time because just you know, you do go

166
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: back and you're way more critical yourself. Um, that's just

167
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: that's just that's just natural. That's what people do. But

168
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: as in football was in life, when things are going right,

169
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: they're way more critical to self. Um. And I think that,

170
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, we got to learn from this moment and

171
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: learn from this time that even though it's a lot

172
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: of adversity and things are going away, and how critical

173
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: we are of ourselves, when we do turn this thing

174
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: around and we figure it out, we got to keep

175
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: that same criticism on ourselves, because that's gonna be key, uh,

176
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: to not just be able to turn around and be decent,

177
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: to turn around and be great again,
