1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: I think that's focus of ours is if we do

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: get out to me is keeping that did you did

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: you see the clip? You had a blog where you

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: ended up on somebody's back. Yeah, I think I think

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: everybody saw the clip. I definitely did whatever. I came

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: around to sip and I thought I needed to hit

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Trent's guy. Last second he tugged him out of the

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: way and I just unfortunately I got caught his shoulder him.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: What do you say that? Uh? He didn't say anything

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: in the moment. It was after the game. Uh, he

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: was pretty hard on me, said we weren't cool anymore.

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: But we plugged, We plugged it out, and uh, we

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: still have each other. The biggest guy you've ever knocked over?

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I think. So. Yeah, what sleep's been this year, It's

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: been great, man, It's been true. Home field advantage has

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: been loud. Um, It's energized us on offense. It's made

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: it hard to communicate for other offenses. Uh. And I

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: think this last week was, um, the loudest has been

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: all season. And it's a testament to the fans because

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't great weather. I'm sure, um not

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: everybody want to be sitting out in the rain, but

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: they definitely brought the heat. So Sunday was that Saturday

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: was that environment. What do you expect the Sunday with

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: no rain and the Cowboy? Yeah, I think I think

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be even louder. How much is the

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: history of this rivalry a point about psist for you

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: guys are just like an extra layer of something you're

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: thinking about. I was just talking about this not honestly.

29
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's part of it, but like none

30
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: of us are around for that. So the rivalry is

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: really what we've done recently, and you know, we played

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: him last year in the playoffs, So UM, I think

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: that is more of our fuel as opposed to the

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: previous decades. How much do you guys talk about yards

35
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: after the catch? I mean, that's a big part of

36
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: your offense a ton. We talked about it the time.

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: We talked about it every single day, probably every offensive meeting. UM,

38
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: that's really kind of our identity is yards after catching.

39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: UM taking pride in turning those what may look like

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: a four yard game into a nine yard game or

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: that's six yeard game in eleven yard game. You know,

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: we don't want to be in second and one. We

43
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: want to be in first and ten. And that's something

44
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that we just really stressed. Why why do you think

45
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: you guys are so good at it? The obvious speed

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: and elusiveness and all that. I mean, what about this team?

47
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about, um were talking about drop

48
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: steps all the time, catching the ball, getting in your shadow,

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: turning up field. Um, we talked about finding too split

50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: into never taking the defender head on. You're trying to

51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: find edges on people. UM. So that's that's really that's

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: ingrained in us from day one, and I think that's

53
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: just it becomes natural after what if that was your identity?

54
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Then getting McCaffrey enhanced that, I mean exactly. I mean

55
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you take a guy who I think already led the

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: league and miss tackles and yards after contact, and you

57
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: throw them into this environment and he's just gonna thrives

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: down feel feeding to back you guys say again, the

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: blocking down fields, It's it's incredible because, um, you know

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: when you when the play is extended, when you when

61
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: guys are making people miss, when they're breaking tackles, and

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: you have blockers that are extending the play. Um, if

63
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: you can get past that first guy. Usually there's just

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: one guy left. Well, if he's blocked, that's just gonna

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: get to your speaking of the block, you know you

66
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: as a whole, it makes himself a good block or

67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy in the world. It seems pretty

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: physical out there and clear some molds. Really it's it's

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: his attitude and his commitment to it. He enjoys doing

70
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: it like he loves being physical. Um, he's just such

71
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: a complete guy and you know he uh, I feel

72
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: like he takes just as much pride and the route

73
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: stid he runs that are incredibly crisp as he does. Um,

74
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, blocking a big defensive ends and linebackers at times,

75
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: do you feel like receivers when they come in here

76
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised by how harshly I guess Kyle

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: challenges Definitely, I definitely, because I don't think anybody is

78
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: challenged that way is or receive anywhere else, especially not

79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in college. So I think it's a little bit of

80
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: a surprise early on, but I think they all buy

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: into it and they see what a difference that can

82
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: make for the team, and um, generally speaking, the guys

83
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: that make it here are they they end up being

84
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: some of our best blockers. And I think you've seen

85
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: that with Debo, with Jawan, with Brandon Um, all those

86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: guys are not scared to mix it up. In the

87
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: very ring game, when you said that, Kyle, go after

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: some deep one team meetings or whatever, what's one of

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the funniest encounters you've had, or at least the most recently.

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: You couldn't you putting me on the spot. I don't

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: think about see on it that that mindset that you're

92
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: talking about. It doesn't just apply to other receivers that

93
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: plays offense for line or two and that's something they're

94
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: coached to do, but not every team does. What is

95
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: it about this kind of culture here that makes guys

96
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: willing to do that little extra I think it's because

97
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: we emphasize and we celebrate it. Um. When Jake Brendall

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: gets down the field on a reverse and makes a

99
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: block thirty yards down field, like that doesn't just go unnoticed.

100
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: We don't just like pass that by like we're loving

101
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: him about that. We're heaping him with praise, like because

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for. And uh so, I think

103
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: that just encourages people to do it than Yeah,
