Speaker 1: I think that's focus of ours is if we do
Speaker 1: get out to me is keeping that did you did
Speaker 1: you see the clip? You had a blog where you
Speaker 1: ended up on somebody's back. Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: everybody saw the clip. I definitely did whatever. I came
Speaker 1: around to sip and I thought I needed to hit
Speaker 1: Trent's guy. Last second he tugged him out of the
Speaker 1: way and I just unfortunately I got caught his shoulder him.
Speaker 1: What do you say that? Uh? He didn't say anything
Speaker 1: in the moment. It was after the game. Uh, he
Speaker 1: was pretty hard on me, said we weren't cool anymore.
Speaker 1: But we plugged, We plugged it out, and uh, we
Speaker 1: still have each other. The biggest guy you've ever knocked over?
Speaker 1: I think. So. Yeah, what sleep's been this year, It's
Speaker 1: been great, man, It's been true. Home field advantage has
Speaker 1: been loud. Um, It's energized us on offense. It's made
Speaker 1: it hard to communicate for other offenses. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: think this last week was, um, the loudest has been
Speaker 1: all season. And it's a testament to the fans because
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't great weather. I'm sure, um not
Speaker 1: everybody want to be sitting out in the rain, but
Speaker 1: they definitely brought the heat. So Sunday was that Saturday
Speaker 1: was that environment. What do you expect the Sunday with
Speaker 1: no rain and the Cowboy? Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be even louder. How much is the
Speaker 1: history of this rivalry a point about psist for you
Speaker 1: guys are just like an extra layer of something you're
Speaker 1: thinking about. I was just talking about this not honestly.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's part of it, but like none
Speaker 1: of us are around for that. So the rivalry is
Speaker 1: really what we've done recently, and you know, we played
Speaker 1: him last year in the playoffs, So UM, I think
Speaker 1: that is more of our fuel as opposed to the
Speaker 1: previous decades. How much do you guys talk about yards
Speaker 1: after the catch? I mean, that's a big part of
Speaker 1: your offense a ton. We talked about it the time.
Speaker 1: We talked about it every single day, probably every offensive meeting. UM,
Speaker 1: that's really kind of our identity is yards after catching.
Speaker 1: UM taking pride in turning those what may look like
Speaker 1: a four yard game into a nine yard game or
Speaker 1: that's six yeard game in eleven yard game. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't want to be in second and one. We
Speaker 1: want to be in first and ten. And that's something
Speaker 1: that we just really stressed. Why why do you think
Speaker 1: you guys are so good at it? The obvious speed
Speaker 1: and elusiveness and all that. I mean, what about this team?
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about, um were talking about drop
Speaker 1: steps all the time, catching the ball, getting in your shadow,
Speaker 1: turning up field. Um, we talked about finding too split
Speaker 1: into never taking the defender head on. You're trying to
Speaker 1: find edges on people. UM. So that's that's really that's
Speaker 1: ingrained in us from day one, and I think that's
Speaker 1: just it becomes natural after what if that was your identity?
Speaker 1: Then getting McCaffrey enhanced that, I mean exactly. I mean
Speaker 1: you take a guy who I think already led the
Speaker 1: league and miss tackles and yards after contact, and you
Speaker 1: throw them into this environment and he's just gonna thrives
Speaker 1: down feel feeding to back you guys say again, the
Speaker 1: blocking down fields, It's it's incredible because, um, you know
Speaker 1: when you when the play is extended, when you when
Speaker 1: guys are making people miss, when they're breaking tackles, and
Speaker 1: you have blockers that are extending the play. Um, if
Speaker 1: you can get past that first guy. Usually there's just
Speaker 1: one guy left. Well, if he's blocked, that's just gonna
Speaker 1: get to your speaking of the block, you know you
Speaker 1: as a whole, it makes himself a good block or
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy in the world. It seems pretty
Speaker 1: physical out there and clear some molds. Really it's it's
Speaker 1: his attitude and his commitment to it. He enjoys doing
Speaker 1: it like he loves being physical. Um, he's just such
Speaker 1: a complete guy and you know he uh, I feel
Speaker 1: like he takes just as much pride and the route
Speaker 1: stid he runs that are incredibly crisp as he does. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, blocking a big defensive ends and linebackers at times,
Speaker 1: do you feel like receivers when they come in here
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised by how harshly I guess Kyle
Speaker 1: challenges Definitely, I definitely, because I don't think anybody is
Speaker 1: challenged that way is or receive anywhere else, especially not
Speaker 1: in college. So I think it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a surprise early on, but I think they all buy
Speaker 1: into it and they see what a difference that can
Speaker 1: make for the team, and um, generally speaking, the guys
Speaker 1: that make it here are they they end up being
Speaker 1: some of our best blockers. And I think you've seen
Speaker 1: that with Debo, with Jawan, with Brandon Um, all those
Speaker 1: guys are not scared to mix it up. In the
Speaker 1: very ring game, when you said that, Kyle, go after
Speaker 1: some deep one team meetings or whatever, what's one of
Speaker 1: the funniest encounters you've had, or at least the most recently.
Speaker 1: You couldn't you putting me on the spot. I don't
Speaker 1: think about see on it that that mindset that you're
Speaker 1: talking about. It doesn't just apply to other receivers that
Speaker 1: plays offense for line or two and that's something they're
Speaker 1: coached to do, but not every team does. What is
Speaker 1: it about this kind of culture here that makes guys
Speaker 1: willing to do that little extra I think it's because
Speaker 1: we emphasize and we celebrate it. Um. When Jake Brendall
Speaker 1: gets down the field on a reverse and makes a
Speaker 1: block thirty yards down field, like that doesn't just go unnoticed.
Speaker 1: We don't just like pass that by like we're loving
Speaker 1: him about that. We're heaping him with praise, like because
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for. And uh so, I think
Speaker 1: that just encourages people to do it than Yeah,
