1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: How are we doing, guys doing great? Queen? No, your 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: coin thoss strategy? Now I know why you do it 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: because the words again call him for the one thousand time, 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: Why you Why do you always called? Um? Yeah? Why 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: I always call heads? Well? You know, I remember as 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: a child watch my father play in LA and him 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: going out and doing the coin toss for the rams, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: and he always called heads, so um, you know, I 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: asked him, you know one time, Hey, why do you 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: do that? What's the story behind that? And you know, 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: I think anyone who knows my family knows faith is 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: important to us, and for him, he was always like, 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, God's the head of my life. So I 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: call heads. That was something he came up with and 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: I've kind of just embraced it. But uh, I'm glad 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: it's worked out for us here the last couple of 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: times when he needs it. And your idea, what your 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: all time record is? It's a coin foss called him, 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: no idea. But I'm glad that the two big ones 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: I've been involved in I have thankfully worked out for us. 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: And you were pretty emphatically we want the ball. You're like, 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't just a well know, we'll receive, We'll take 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: the ball certainly. Um, you just have a feeling once 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: you got the ball, it's gonna be old. Well yeah, yeah, 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: you always have a lot of confidence with number twelves 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: on your team. UM, you know, you always have a 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: chance to win any game, no matter what the situation is. UM. 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: We felt pretty good about giving our offense to ball. 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: UM and they certainly did the job once they got it. 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: So we're really thankful to be a part of something 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: like that last night. Pretty tired today, but uh, what 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: an exciting time, Matthews. UM, as a receiver, you know 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: a little bit about catching the ball too, although you're 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: doing special teams now, what can you say about the 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: performance of Julian and um Gron she really came through. 36 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: I think that was vintage Jules and ground class. You know, 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: those guys have stepped up big and so many big 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: moments for this franchise over the course of their careers, 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: and they don't flinch in those moments. And I think 40 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: last night you saw them when we needed him the most, 41 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: when our season was on the line. You saw those 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: guys step up. They weren't afraid of the moment. They 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: were looking to make plays. They've always been guys that 44 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: have been willing to do whatever this team needs to 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: win football games. And last night we needed them to 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: make plays and that's what they did. You know, So 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: proud of both those guys. It's really an honor to 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: have been teammates with Julian for ten years now and 49 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Rob for nine. I've learned a lot, you know, about 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: being professional and respecting this game and how to approach 51 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: certain situations from the two of them. So you got 52 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: a tip to hat to them. Every year it seems 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: like the team comes together. Is it ain't different this year? 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Do you feel like every year it just seems like, well, 55 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: we're really cohesive unit. Uh, the story of every season 56 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: was a little bit different. The makeup of every team 57 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: is a little bit different. But you know, you hear 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: me talk about it quite frequently. Um. I think the 59 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: brotherhood in that locker room is always a common thread 60 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: to those stories, the relationships that we shared, the belief 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: that we haven't one another, the time that we've invested 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: in one another. I think that's a big part of 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: what happens on game day, Um, you know, in those 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: tough moments. So this year, yeah, we faced a little adversity, 65 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: the story was a little bit different. We weren't expected 66 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: to do some of the things that we've done thus far. 67 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: But our belief never never changed. We never doubted one another. 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: And here we are, your dad supporting against the Rams. 69 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: We had a good conversation last night. Uh, he's gonna 70 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna support us on. So we cleared the air 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: on that last night. We're all squared away do this 72 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: three years in a row. The Bills did it in 73 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: the nineties, the Office back in the seventies. You're only 74 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: the thirteen to do it three more times. It's almost 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: business like usual here today, where you making Super Bowl plans, 76 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: probably playing thickets, hold helt in some families the next 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: day or so. But just to do it three years 78 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: in a rowing, are you amazed by that or absolutely? 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: You know, this league, there's so much parody in this league. 80 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: There's so much talent, you know. Look you look at 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: the salary cave era and how that's really level the 82 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: playing field. There's so many good coaches and ownership and 83 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: tradition in this league to it's it's really remarkable what 84 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: we've been able to do. And it's something that you 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: really can't take for granted. We realize how blessed unfortunate 86 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: we've been to have the ball bounce our way, to 87 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: have the coin toss our way at certain points along 88 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: the way. But I don't think it's something that will 89 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: ever be like, oh, well, this is what we do. 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: It's it's so hard to win this league, and every 91 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: opportunity you have to play in the postseason you just 92 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: got to be thankful for it and try to make 93 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: the most of it. And you know, fortunately we've been 94 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: able to do that game and Week six against the 95 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Chase was one of the more exciting games of the 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: season or across the league everything. Maybe it would be 97 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: something that can talk about because people think you actually 98 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: went off well. Two great teams going at it, and 99 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: nobody wanted to lose that game last night. Really a 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: ton of respect for coach Reid and his team and 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: the way they they're coached and the way they played. 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Their fans were tremendous for them last night. Um, you know, 103 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately somebody had to had to lose that game, but 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: that was a that was a heck of a game. Um, 105 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure our fans were pretty on edge throughout the 106 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: course of the night. But um Man, I think it 107 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: was good for the NFL, good for football. What do 108 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: you look for in the Super Bowl? And I know 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: you've got to go through a lot of work the 110 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: next a couple of weeks, But how do you feel 111 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: about golfing them Ramps? They're a really good team. Many 112 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: would argue they're one of the most talented teams in 113 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: the National Football League. They've got a great young head 114 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: coach who really has a lot of buying in belief 115 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: from his players. So it's gonna be a tough game 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: for They're gonna be the best team we've faced all year. 117 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: And I know one thing about Super Bowls, and in 118 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: these types of situations, the only thing that you remember 119 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: at the end of this Super Bowl experience is the 120 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: score of the game. That's the only thing you remember. 121 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: You don't remember you know who didn't get a ticket 122 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: to this, whose hotel room was messed up? That that 123 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter at the end of the day. It's who 124 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: had more points at the end of the game. I 125 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: know you're not out there a whole lot on offense, 126 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: but a few offensive line tiney passes without a sack, 127 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,119 Speaker 1: which playoff games. Son, He's got two hundred guy game. 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: So short Yoders continues to be a following at times, 129 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: but just the shot of the offensive line is starting 130 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: and they've been outstanding. Um. In my opinion, offensive lineman 131 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: don't get enough credit. And you know, I think those 132 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: guys can be um, you know, underappreciated at times. Their 133 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: job is a tough one. But our team goes as 134 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: they go, Our offense goes as they go. And for 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: them to be able to keep Tom clean and open 136 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: holes for our running game, it's huge and it's the 137 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: reason why we're standing here today talking about playing in 138 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. So great leadership all across the board there, 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: starting with David, you know, TB and Marcus have been great, 140 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and then tuning in Shock. I mean just steady Eddy 141 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: always there. You know what you're gonna get from them. 142 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: So that group is great. Our depth players are great. 143 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: What a great room, What a great group of guys. 144 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: And uh and I love those guys if you want 145 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: to change for you guys, from the back to back 146 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: losses in December until now, it seems like, you know, 147 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Tom talked about it last night. Though the final two 148 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: games of the season act in the postseason. You know, 149 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: I think there are a number of small things that changed, 150 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: but ultimately the biggest thing that's changed is how we've 151 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: executed under pressure. You know, we suffered those two losses, 152 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: and I don't think our mentality changed at all. We 153 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: still had belief, We still have faith in our process, 154 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: We still have faith in one another. But we understood that, hey, 155 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: at some point this has to carry over the game. 156 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: We have to be able to execute under pressure. So 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: I think we've done a better job of that the 158 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: last four times. We've taken the football field understanding that 159 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: we need to play with a sense of urgency and 160 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, no more my bads, or I'll get it 161 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: next time. We got to start executing now. And I 162 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: think we've done that the last four games, and you 163 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: know we've had some good success. Final question, how much 164 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: is experience factor into this game? Been there that you've 165 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: done it? Distractions to come, but they talked about hotel rooms, 166 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: ticket to I would say it helps a little bit 167 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: um but ultimately, you know, it's not about experience. This 168 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: coach always says, it's about playing well under pressure when 169 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: your team needs you to play well. And we've seen 170 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: time after time a guy who hasn't been in those moments, 171 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, Malcolm Butler or even Tom his first Super 172 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: Bowl guys that hadn't been in those moments before, but 173 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: they were ready when their number was called and they 174 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: were ready to execute. So experience does help with some 175 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: aspects of this whole process. But ultimately, there's gonna be 176 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: a football game that's played, two teams that are gonna 177 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: be given everything they've got, and there's only gonna be 178 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: one winner. And you know, experience Pro Bowls, years in 179 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: the league, none of that's gonna matter. It's gonna be 180 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: about who has one more point then the other team 181 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Congratulations, Thank you guys, 182 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: appreciate it.
