1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: For from a player's perspective, is it challenging to try

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: to normalize dealing with COVID and players going off and

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: on and not knowing who's going to be playing, and

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: also worried about your and your family's health. I mean,

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: I feel like all of us are trying to just

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: normalize it in our minds because we have to and

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: try to get through it. But I just want to know,

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: from a player's perspective, do you ever really get used

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: to it? Do you have to? Yeah? I think I

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: think in football, you you know, you're talk from a

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: very young age. You know, no excuses, next man up,

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 1: and not just a mentality. Uh. But it is affecting

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: people in his last two years obviously, we know, and

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: with so many things changing week to week, CDC guidelines,

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: different strands, it's it's impossible to say it's not affecting

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: teams differently. And you know, we've had a whole bunch

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: of guys who on the COVID list, like every other

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: team has. And you know, when you go into a

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: game plan, uh, for instance, without Julian Love right now,

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: that changes a lot of guys roles. When you go

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: into a game plan without a quarterback or a running back.

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: As late as Friday, you know, our safety coach Jeremy

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: prug goes on the list. So now we don't have

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: our normal meetings with that. So it's it's far from normal.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: These last two years, I've definitely been far from normal.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Right now. It's as crazy different from normal as possible. Um,

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: you see teams out there about quarterbacks, you see teams

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: out there without skill players, teams out there at old line,

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and it's just you make the most of it because

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: if you don't play, you don't get paid. So it's

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty tough position for anybody. And it's a

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: tough position as a player because you really don't have

33
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: good options. You've got to make make do what you

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: got best. And everyone's dealing with it. But I wouldn't

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: call it normal. I can't say you're prepared for You

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: just kind of you kind of deal with the times

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: we're in until we get ahold of it as a

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: as a as a world, this pandemic. Tom Rock, Okay,

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever been in this situation

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: before you here with you know, being mathematically and eliminated

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: still games play, Uh, you know, how do how do

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: you handle that? How do you how do you move

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: forward with this? And how do you how do you

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: communicate to the younger guys how to do that? Yeah,

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: and I've never been fortunately, I've never been in this position.

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: I don't want to be. I don't like this position.

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: It's been very frustrating. It's been a tough year obviously

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: for all of us, uh myself included. But it's about habits, man,

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: It's about habits. I believe that championship teams or winning

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: teams or competitive teams, you know, it's it's kind of

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: there's only one way to do it. It's only one

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: way to play the game, only one way to practice

53
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: the game, and regardless of time, score or mathematical playoff implications,

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: you still gotta play. You still should play the game

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: the right way, and hopefully I symbolize that. Um And

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: obviously in times like these when you want to feel

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: sorry for yourself, you want to feel down and out,

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I understand that the position I put myself in in

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: this league, and as a father, was raising a young

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: boy and a young girl. Regardless how the season may

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: go for them, or you still saw about how you finish,

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: and it's still about uh competing, snapping and snap out

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: and hopefully I can. You know, I realized I played

64
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: for more than myself, and I symbolize more for myself.

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: So I still go out there and try to make

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, my family proud and and uh people, everyone,

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: everyone who buys a ticket. I still try to prepare

68
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: and compete my best and give him some entertainment. And

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I think we need more of that. I think we

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: need that, and that's gonna have to be going forward.

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, I'm leaving Hanlogan, can you hear me? Uh,

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: we know how you feel about Pat Graham. I'm curious,

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: what do you think of the job Jerome Henderson has

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: done this year? It seems like you guys have guys

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: coming in and out of your secondary every uh, every game.

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: It seems like mix and match. What do you think

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: of the job Jerome has done as a coach. I

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: think Jerome's I think Jerome's done, you know, I think

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Jerome's done a great job. I think he's done a

80
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: good job. I don't think anybody honestly is gonna say

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: that they that you know, felt like, you know, everything

82
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: went their way this year. It obviously hasn't. But Jerome's

83
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: done the most of what we got. I think Jerome

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: does a good job as a former player and a

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: coach um to put us in position to make plays.

86
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: Switch our game playing weekend a week out with the matchup.

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: Who's Bradberry's matching? What position am I going to play?

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: What position is Love gonna play? How can we get

89
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: z around the ball? I think he does a good

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: job of trying to feed everybody that that way. But

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Jerome does a great job if

92
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: we have some veteran players in our secondary, myself included,

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: and I think he allows me to speak um when

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: I when I have something to say, or he allows

95
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: input from us who have played the game himself. Being

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: a former player, he kind of he's not a dictator

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: in that room. He allows us players have input, and

98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: I think it allows us to feel like we're heard

99
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and allows us to play hard because we know our

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: coach on the same um, same page as us. So

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I've a a ton of respect for Jerome. And like

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: I said, we've all been going through stuff. Jerome has

103
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: been going through stuff off the field with his family,

104
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: and I think he's able to show up to work

105
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: every day and give his best effort. I appreciate you, Jordan,

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: putting your camera and I'd like to see you guy's face.

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: So that's that's good. I appreciate the side of the road. First.

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Let's take one last one with Jodan. UM. I'm curious.

109
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, fans are upset, they're angry, you know, they're

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: they're disappointed in the season and really the last few years.

111
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how much you, uh and the players in

112
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: general realize that. No you hear it or talk about

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: it even at all. No, no, we realize it and

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: it's just not okay. UM. Their reaction is okay. What

115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: the product isn't okay right now? And I take that

116
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: to heart. As a leader on this team, I haven't

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: felt like, UM, you know, the preparation and the work

118
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: has always generated to the results on the field, and

119
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: I understand that I and I take you know, my

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: share of ownership on that. UM. I just try to

121
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: symbolize the way to play on how I play and

122
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: control what I can control. I can't control the positions

123
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm putting on the field. I can't control the score

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: all the time. But I just try to play every

125
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: snap hard, especially last game finishing, you know, that game

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: off and and stuff like that. But no, I understand

127
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: that we have a great fan base, a ton of tradition.

128
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: It's a privilege to play here. I played in a

129
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: franchise in Tennessee where the fan base is non existent,

130
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Like you couldn't even get fans of the games. You

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: had to you know, I have to put tickets half

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: off to get fans of the games. So I I

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: I understand the tradition of this area, the history of

134
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: the NFC East, what these rivalries mean with Philly and

135
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Dallas and uh the Washington football team, it means a lot.

136
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what people talk about day in and

137
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: day out. So I'm here to be part of that change.

138
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm here to demand better, I'm here to play better,

139
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: and I'm here to hopefully, going forward, um start bringing

140
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: some of that championship and playoff habits to the team,

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: because I believe you need to have that before you

142
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: actually make that. So I'm trying to be a part

143
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: of this, Lucien the best I can. I take it

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: very seriously, and I hear what the fans are saying.

145
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: I understand the frustration, and and I'm equally as frustrated,

146
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try my best to finish this year

147
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: off right and and go into next season and look

148
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: for changes. M
