Speaker 1: talking about the feeling, man, we are halfway through the season.

00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: this about This is our third time doing this. Now,

17

Speaker 1: we're halfway through the season. Y'all have been players before,

Speaker 1: y'all been here before. What is going through y'all minds? Man,

19

Speaker 1: Be Mitch, I'm gonna start with you.

21
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 4: Man.

22
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: It's it can't be easy.

23
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 4: Well you know it's not easy, but you know, if

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: you prepare yourself and I think what happens and Tann

25
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: I probably agree with this. As you play more years,

26
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: your body feels better and better even throughout the whole season.

27
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 4: Right now, for the guys that are in their first year,

28
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: possibly second.

29
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: Year, they are struggling right now because you look at you.

30
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 4: Look at training camp, preseason, and now they're at about

31
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 4: the point that they would have played the whole season

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: in college. Wow, you ain't games left, okay, basically with

33
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: the game coming up tomorrow, you have nine games left.

34
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: And I think the ultimate thing is that you got

35
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: to try to overpower with your positive mentality the negatives

36
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: that is popular.

37
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: My body is hurting, I'm tired. Right now.

38
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: We're sitting in the bad position that we don't want

39
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: to be in. But if you're a veteran player, you

40
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: understand that things can change. I gotta keep pushing. We

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: just had two of our top players leave, okay, and hey,

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: it could be me next time, so I got to

43
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: make sure I'm showing the team and everybody else out

44
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: there looking just in case something does happening.

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm the guy and I.

46
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: Still can play, So I mean, but this is what

47
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: sports is about. It's not a regular job, you know,

48
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: some job. You get a job, you're there for the

49
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: next twenty thirty years. You're not guaranteed here to be

50
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 4: here for the next day if you don't perform right.

51
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: And that's why I love this sports so much, because

52
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: every damn day you are now going out there competing

53
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: and being able to show where you are and see

54
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: if you are still one of the top guys.

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he hit it dead on. I'm chopping wood.

56
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about how many more games I have.

57
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about how many games I just went through.

58
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm chopping wood. I feel like there's a light at

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel, whether we're having a successful

60
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: season or not. And that's one of the things I

61
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: love about this game and love about our seasons that

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: you have time to kind of.

63
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: Rewrite the narrative, you know what I mean, or write.

64
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: The narrative, you know, so when I look at what

65
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: they're going on, you know what's going on now with

66
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: our team.

67
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: Man, Look, I've been in those shoes.

68
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Where I sat in the locker room and saw a

69
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: guy to leave out of those doors that I didn't expect.

70
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Also been that guy that's sitting there saying to myself, like,

71
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: I gotta get my stuff together. I'm not that guy

72
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: that's getting traded away. But you have no control over that.

73
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: So just like those guys who left, they had that

74
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: was out of their control. But while they was here,

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: they went out there and played some good football for

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: us and gave us a chance to win each weekend.

77
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: But you know, as a player now, just looking at

78
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: what what transpired, I'm looking forward to this Sunday, man,

79
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: so I can go out there and make a statement

80
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: and just show the team that while I'm here and

81
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: while we all should be thankful to be here, right

82
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: for sure, man, And you know when I could have

83
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: buried the lead right clearly, trade deadline, a lot of

84
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: things changed. We traded Montes swept, we traded Chase Young,

85
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: And you guys have been in those locker rooms.

86
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: During these moments.

87
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Y'all have made it through trade deadline after trade deadline

88
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: after trade deadline.

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: We have a lot of young players on the team.

90
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: So, Bmitch, I'm gonna start with you, how do our

91
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: guys stay focused and move on from this? Because I

92
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy to think like your team looks different

93
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: a couple of days before you go out on that field,

94
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: be miss man.

95
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: How do they stay focused?

96
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: I said something on the radio this week, and Tanner

97
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: just said it. On my way here to this place.

98
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: I saw on Instagram this guys say, man, you just

99
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: changed my mind mindset. I said, control what you can control,

100
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: and that's the only thing that they can do. All

101
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: they can do is go out there and keep performing

102
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: and showing what they are capable of. Let's be real,

103
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 4: My chance was traded. He felt real bad. Today's happiest house.

104
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: He got twenty four billion years.

105
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: Okay, to another place.

106
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: Chase is in a better position at this point on

107
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: a team, But will he go and follow it up

108
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: and sought to play better? He can control that if

109
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: he goes out there and just perform at a high level.

110
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: And if he says, hell they that's something he can't

111
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: control right there. But ultimately, everybody in this team right

112
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: now has to put their mind on doing what they

113
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: are capable of doing at the highest level they can

114
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: and guess what. They may be absolutely perfect, but may

115
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: not be enough for the squad for the vision moving forward.

116
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: They may not be as.

117
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: Good as they think they can be, or may be

118
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: perfect for what this squad may want them to do

119
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: going forward.

120
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: So ultimately, for me, everybody has.

121
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: To proach this thing now as I only can control

122
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: what I can control and don't.

123
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: Try to be more.

124
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: You know, we sometimes getting to play where we try

125
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: to do more than we're capable of doing and we

126
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: end up screwing up. So just do what you can

127
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: do at your highest level. Make sure you know everything. Study, okay,

128
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: go over your different fundamentals to know when you hit

129
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: the field you're no longer thinking, you're just reacting. And

130
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 4: if they can do that, let's say you play football,

131
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: the best football players will tell you when you said, man,

132
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: what were you thinking when this happened, They will tell

133
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: you I wasn't.

134
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: I was just doing it.

135
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's key. I mean, you know,

136
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: one of the things I look at is just especially

137
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: with this time of the year, you know what I mean,

138
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Like you said, we almost at that point where we

139
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: got a certain amount of games to say, that's this

140
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the halfway point. If you look at it, what this

141
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: is week nine, So it is our halfway point. You

142
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: should be playing some of your best football now, you

143
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: know what I meant, it's getting colder. You know, most

144
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: of the time, if you have a great team, they

145
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: find other ways to win from the ways that they

146
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: show the league already you.

147
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Know how they won game.

148
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: So you will hope that that's how we're trending right now,

149
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: you know, defensively, offensively, special teams wise. But just to

150
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, chime in a little bit more on just

151
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: the whole uh, I guess you could say, what you know,

152
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: what transpired with our guys, two of our top guys

153
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: in our d line. Man, you don't look at that

154
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: as a disappointment. I mean, don't get me wrong. Like

155
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: most teams that you see that have an opportunity, you

156
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: might not see those changes, you know what I mean.

157
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: But when you look at where we at, you know,

158
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: new ownership, still a young team, you have not much

159
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: draft capital. You have a lot of guys that we

160
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: went out there and went on the line and picked.

161
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the future, where we stand

162
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: with those guys, can we afford all those games? And

163
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: outside of those two guys we got rid of, it's

164
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: other guys that's going to be up. So as a

165
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: team now you can really honestly where they focus at

166
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: make those moves you look at them and say, Okay,

167
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: I know a couple of more guys that deserve the

168
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: check or two now, because those guys are going and

169
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you make a move right there, you

170
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: got you make that movie because you know those guys,

171
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be more guys that's capable of filling those shoes.

172
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: You got guys here already, We got guys that we

173
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: could probably possibly get in the draft. It's so many

174
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: different opportunities out there. So when you could get a

175
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: second pick for then, you know, for the Montes trade,

176
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: and it's almost like a first round pick when you

177
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: could get that whatever that pick was, the third or

178
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was for Chase, but honestly,

179
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it still was a win win because

180
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you get a guy like Chase, you're done well by him.

181
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: You brought him here as the second, second overall pick,

182
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: and then you let him go somewhere where he can

183
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: honestly succeed and maybe be in them, maybe be fighting

184
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: with us later on this year, and you know, for

185
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a postseason run, who knows. But you still went out

186
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: there and made your team better. So that's how I

187
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: look at the big picture. You know, I look at

188
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: the big picture as that man, we're really trying to

189
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: now look at what's gonna be there for us, you know,

190
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: down the road, instead of looking right now. Especially like

191
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I said, if people look at those trades and say

192
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: we're not trying to win, No, we are, We've been

193
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: here before. But we also have to think about what's

194
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: best for us going forward. And we let these guys

195
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: play out throughout this the whole year, and then we

196
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: lose them next year because we don't have the money

197
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna resign them, then we get.

198
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: Nothing exactly exactly.

199
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: Think about that eighteen Johnson eighteen, nineteen, twenty one, twenty two,

200
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: you're looking at you're looking at at Doran when you

201
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: come again twenty four.

202
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: Now man Tess has gotten.

203
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: When they were drafting all of them, I said, we

204
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: better do it quickly because we won't be able to

205
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: afford all of them, and we weren't. So now you

206
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: look at the fact James Smith, Casey, two hill gods,

207
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: who's shown Nigga play. What if John's game up even

208
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: more Duran's up. You also have kJ Henry, you have

209
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: Young and Andre Jones Junia. If those guys start playing

210
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: at a better level at a lower price. That's when

211
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 4: your team really goes. You cannot spend over one hundred

212
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: million dollars on four people on.

213
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: The D line.

214
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't feel that what you think about first round whatever,

215
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: you can't spend it because you have to build a

216
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: team overall, and you may.

217
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: Have to drop a little talent somewhere.

218
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: But as Jack Jorell said, can't believe in quoting Jack garryls,

219
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: we have to hunt as as a pat and when

220
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: you hunt, and many people don't know what he's talking about.

221
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: I watch film. I know what the hell he's talking about.

222
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: And when you begin to figure that out, you find

223
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: out sometimes let's talent at certain individual positions still make

224
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: you better as overall teams don't make sense to people.

225
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: But I guarantee you keep paying attention, you.

226
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: Might see something antenna. You kind of alluded to this

227
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: a little bit.

228
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: You say, like when you see these top guys like

229
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: a Sweat and a Chase get traded, you immediately think,

230
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the season's over, right, that's what fans think.

231
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: That's what fans are concerned about. You've been a player

232
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: in that locker room. You understand do.

233
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: Players get that feeling? Do player's confidence waiver a little

234
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: bit when they see this? Or is just business as usual?

235
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Man? His business is usual for all. Your job is

236
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: now at State, You like, I have to go out

237
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: here and do and play my best because I don't

238
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: want to be in those shoes. But trust me, those

239
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: shoes are not saying that that those are bad shoes

240
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: to be in because honestly, like I said, it works

241
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: out for both of those guys. A guy and Chase

242
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: that can go elsewhere and and and you know, and

243
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: really probably play at his best because now he around

244
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: other guys I think here, Chase was that guy, even

245
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: even around the great talent we have in that D line.

246
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: We was looking for Chase to make something happen more

247
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: than everybody else. So then you get a guy like Chess.

248
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: He wants to be paid now, he would and have

249
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: got paid. He's paid now right now. Hey, it might

250
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: not be the place he wanted to be at, but hey,

251
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he secured the bag

252
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: for his family. And you never know what may happen

253
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago with those first two picks in the next

254
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, next draft, in the first round. So yeah,

255
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: but guys, honestly, bro, I'm gonna be real with you

256
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: and and and be Michigan basically, you know, back me

257
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: up on this. As a player, you got too much

258
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: responsibility to worry about what happened with that guy. Like,

259
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I might have an effect like damn,

260
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I ain't want to see him go. Now, I gotta

261
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: be on my piece and Q what I'm saying. Now,

262
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: I have to go out and handle my job. And

263
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I tell the time and time again like we've been

264
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: around here for years where it have been a lot

265
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: of turmoil, and you hear stuff about the owner, You're

266
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: hearing stuff about you, name it all all the different

267
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, stuff been going on in Congress and stuff

268
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: with our team. And the first thing the media actually

269
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: is it a distraction nose? You know why? Because I

270
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: have to find a way out to go out there

271
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: and play my best regardless of what's going on around it,

272
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: because I can't let that affect me and my play

273
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: because if I let that, if I allow that to

274
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: affect me and my play, then I don't deserve to

275
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: be here or nowhere else playing in this game. So

276
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: that's how I look at it, and I feel like

277
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: every man in that locker room understands the business, understand

278
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: that those guys who was taken care of, and understand

279
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: now it's just time for me to go out here

280
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: and continue to put you know, put in good stuff

281
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: on film so I can make ourselves wherever I can

282
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: do to make this team better. They had to go

283
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: out there and do that, man man, and you know, fellas,

284
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a lot about the defensive line. We're

285
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna talk a lot about this offense. We're gonna talk

286
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: a lot about this matchup against the Patriots. However, it's

287
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: not every day somebody like Meicks is sitting between two

288
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: legends that have been here and done.

289
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: This before y'all been in New England.

290
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Y'all played the Patriots, right, what first thing comes to

291
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: mind when you think about playing the New England Patriots?

292
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: Because be Mitch on your back end, Tom Brady was

293
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: really starting to take over. Sam can't almost your whole career.

294
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was really becoming a man. So let's talk

295
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: about those and those memories y'all have being players out here.

296
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: Well, I have many thoughts.

297
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: I think finding out if the coldest place I've ever

298
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: played is here. Yeah, the last time they were beat

299
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: up here by our team from Washington.

300
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: I was on the team. Wow.

301
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: But then you start to think about that run that

302
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: they went on, and listen, I want to tell so

303
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: many people hated on them.

304
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, when a team can be on that long

305
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: of a run, you have.

306
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: To figure out what the hell are they doing and

307
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: you have to respect it. So I don't the argument

308
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 4: that pops up, is it Brady or is it Belichick?

309
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 4: I don't give a damn. The Patriots were in the

310
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: Super Bowl very often, and I think when you look

311
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: at that, I always what I go is that what

312
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: could I have done with my teams to get.

313
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: Us to be as successful as they were?

314
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 4: You know? And now that I'm away from it and

315
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: Tom is gone and Bill is down by himself, You're

316
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: beginning to wonder, now, wasn't the player more than the coach? Okay?

317
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 4: And how can the coach save his reputation in the South?

318
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 4: Because Tom left here win one one, he basically rolled

319
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: off of the sunset. Bill is still here. But the

320
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: thing about Bill, Bill gives offenses problems.

321
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: You know. So you know, overall, thing I'll say when

322
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: you came to New England.

323
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: You knew you were gonna be in the battle because

324
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: they knew you as well as you knew yourself. And

325
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: I say that about everybody if you're watching film of

326
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: your other team that you're about to play, but you

327
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: never watch any film on yourself to see what you're

328
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: giving out to the team you're gonna lose.

329
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: So this dude made sure.

330
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: I had Kevin Funck on the show this week, and

331
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: Kevin Funk talked about how he'll walk up to you

332
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: as an offensive player and ask you what's the key

333
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: for their defense to watch, you probably wouldn't know the

334
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: answer on another team.

335
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: On the Patriots team, you damn sure, new Dancer, because.

336
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: He wanted everybody to be students of the game and

337
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: into it. So for what I says, coaches can learn

338
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: from Bill Belichick, teams can learn from the New England Patriots,

339
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: and individual can learn from Tom Brady because as bad

340
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: as he was, showed up first left Lady.

341
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have many memories of just you know, you know,

342
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: one I got dropted to the New York Jets, and

343
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: that year that I was a part of the New

344
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: York just my rookie year was the year, my team

345
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: was the team that knocked Drew Bletsoe out. You know,

346
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Mo Lewis was the linebacker. Yeah, exactly. I think about

347
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: it all the time, like damn real the reason why

348
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was able to make his step and Stafford

349
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: his legacy. But you know, my team was the team

350
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: that knocked Drew Blesso out, and Tom you know, forever

351
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: became that year he won the championship. But also I

352
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: look back at that year too. I was hurt that game,

353
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: so I didn't even travel, but I was home watching

354
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: that game in New York and later on after I

355
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: got healthy, some of my best games was against New England.

356
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: You know, my first catch I ever caught in the

357
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: NFL was against the New England Patriots.

358
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: I caught a bomb.

359
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: But one of my biggest games, one of the games

360
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: that stamped and gave my other teammates and the approval

361
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: of me, was up here in Foxboro. Mo Lewis man

362
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: I talked about more Lewis so much. He don't even

363
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: know how much he meant to my career. More Lewis,

364
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was pulling my leg gon

365
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: just pressuring me as a youngster. He always used to

366
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: tell me this thing. So they say, like when he

367
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: see me, he walked on a horse, so they say,

368
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: and it bothered, It bothered the you know what out

369
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: of me, you know, like I wanted to really do

370
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: something to him at times. And Marvin Jones, being a

371
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: linebacker with him, he used to look at him and like,

372
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: hey man, Caro city, get right, man, he just want

373
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: to see you play.

374
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: And I was hurt so I couldn't play.

375
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't show them nothing. And he was like, they

376
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: say he was fast, So they say, they say he

377
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: could do that, so they and like it bothered me.

378
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: And I remember I had just got back healthy, started playing.

379
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, I had to catch against them at home.

380
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: That that was my first ever catch. I caught twupalls

381
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: my rookie season against New England. But going forward, uh,

382
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: the next year, I had a ankle spring coming into

383
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: a game.

384
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Here in Foxboro and they wanted.

385
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Me to play, and I didn't think I could play.

386
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: And Marvina was like, hey man, we had ways to

387
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: get you ready this restless weekend.

388
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: By Sunday, we're gonna get you right.

389
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: And Mo and I was looking at more like here

390
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: he go again.

391
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Without I was.

392
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I was almost pressured to say, all right, you know,

393
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what you guys do.

394
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: And I did it. And I went out there and

395
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: had the most part return.

396
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Yards for a New York Jet that year that game,

397
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: and then scored on offense and I had when we

398
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: won that game. It was a cold the Coldest Crab

399
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: was a night game, and I remember Marvin looking at

400
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: me like you know, and we family, but both looked

401
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: at me like you all right, you know, I saw

402
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: what I've been wanting to see. And from that moment

403
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: on as a player, as a young player, it did

404
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: a lot for me, my confidence and everything. So those

405
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: are many memories that I have are playing against the

406
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: Patriots and just some of the great matchups. But when

407
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: you talk about Belichick, man, I mean this guy here. Yeah,

408
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: I understand how this league is. I understand what people

409
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: might say, but I think if you watch what's going

410
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: on here in New England, what it proves to me

411
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: more than anything, regardless of the whole Tom Brady and

412
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Belichick thing, it proves that it's hard to have a

413
00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. It's hard to win without a franchise quarterback.

414
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: And you can have many quarterbacks as you want, but

415
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: if you don't have that guy, you're not going to

416
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: be successful. And you look at some of the things

417
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: that better Check is doing. He's still successful. He's winning games,

418
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: he's playing tough games, meaningful games against some of the

419
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: top teams. But the one thing that Tom Brady did

420
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: for him is it's put him over the curb a

421
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: little bit, put him over the you know, that hump

422
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: when it came critical situations of making plays and putting

423
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: his team in scoring drive to where he can seal

424
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: it with a field goal or steal it with a

425
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: defensive play. You know. So that's some of the things

426
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: that shows me, and that gives me the proof of

427
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: what we've been saying for so many years playing this

428
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: game that if you don't have the court, but you

429
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: can't win. So why y'all ask those hard questions about

430
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: what's up with the team, and if you don't have

431
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback half of the time, that's the.

432
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: Answer all you need a team?

433
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that too. You know you look at the.

434
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 4: Seasons and the Super Bowls and some of the playoff

435
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: games that Tom played.

436
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: You know, Tom didn't play great, The defense won.

437
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: The game, and special teams. Neteer Hiss the key.

438
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: You start seeing all that stuff, and I think ultimately

439
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: what it proves is even having a franchise quarterback, you

440
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: better damn well build a team, probably to have people

441
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 4: in other positions. And as we go forward with this

442
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: Commanders football team, we better understand we drafted all of

443
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: those defensive players and the defense didn't get.

444
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: To where we expected them to.

445
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: And now that too are gone, who to city, they

446
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: can't reach where we expected then. And ultimately, as we

447
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: go forward, we better build a team.

448
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: And that team means offensive defense, special.

449
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: Teams, and I said special teams. And also remember the

450
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: coaching staff must be intact to make the right decisions

451
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: and play the right people for the right reason. So

452
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: as we go forward, you have to understand when you

453
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 4: go to build a house, if you got a great framer,

454
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: but to a person putting everything on the outside and

455
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: your roof is garbage, your damn house is gonna be garbage.

456
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: You gotta have a full team. So moving forward, we

457
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: need to have a full.

458
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: Team, no matter what it is. And that's the only

459
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: way we're gonna get to the.

460
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Point that we think we should be and to y'all

461
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: point about how important it is to have a franchise quarterback.

462
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: The Patriots and Bill Belichick during his era have only

463
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: been two and six or worse twice. That's number three, right, Yes,

464
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: that's this year and Tom Brady's rookie year where he

465
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: only threw three passes. So that shows you how great

466
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: having a franchise quarterback, what that can do for your team.

467
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: And now let's look at these quarterbacks, right, because two

468
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: very different situations.

469
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: Patriots have Matt Jones.

470
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Well now they're like, I don't know if this is

471
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: our guy, right, like he's looking a little shaky.

472
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: Then we have a guy like.

473
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: Sam Howe who fans are wondering, is this our franchise guy,

474
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Show's improvement?

475
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: Is this our guy? Two very different positions for teams

476
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: to be in.

477
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Sam how first coming off a

478
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: career game Show's improvement every time only got sacked once.

479
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: You know that means the world to us if we

480
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: are talking about keeping them clean. What have you seen

481
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: from Sam how so far? We are halfway through the season, Bemis.

482
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: From a start, I've seen ups and.

483
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: I seenhim downs. I mean, I can't say he's Doug.

484
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: He's not the guy. I think he's been kind of

485
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: in the middle. Now, he's been like a roller coaster

486
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: wife and me, to be honest with you, and I

487
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 4: like him. I think I have seen some things that

488
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: make me really want to go all in, and I've

489
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 4: seen some things that made me take falls. Because let's

490
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: break it down. You mentioned, okay, their quarterback. Okay, his

491
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: first year, we say, oh, this guy is a guy.

492
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: Now he's in his.

493
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 4: Second, third year, right, and what's happening now, what's questioning him?

494
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 4: This is what you got to understand. Don't get too

495
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 4: caught up over one year. I've always told guys, show

496
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: me a game, cool, give me another one.

497
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: Wants you show me a season? I need to see

498
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: another one. Okay. So whether Sam.

499
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: Plays great enough this year, does that answer all the questions?

500
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: No, it gives you a point to move.

501
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: To the next portion of this test. And if he

502
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: does it next year, then you move to another portion.

503
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: Then you start to feel good that I like his upsloes,

504
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 4: I do his down And I think that's exactly what's

505
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 4: happening right now in New England where he was so

506
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 4: good his first year and then he started to fall

507
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 4: off a little bit that they're still worried about how

508
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: good he was his first year.

509
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: Yes, so you don't.

510
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 4: Know if the guy's a franchise got Peyton Manning through

511
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: as many interceptions as anybody in their first.

512
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: Year, his rookie season.

513
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 4: Look what he became in his last year they won

514
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: a super Bowl and he was not good at all,

515
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying.

516
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: So ultimately, we have to figure out a way.

517
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 4: To find that quarterback and Sam could be that guy

518
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: that makes less mistakes than he does great plays. And

519
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 4: I think so far he's proven he has the capability

520
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 4: of getting it done. But it don't happen in one year.

521
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 4: I don't care what anybody say. If they knew how

522
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 4: to pick a stark quarterback, Tom Brady wouldn't be the

523
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: only one.

524
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: That's fair.

525
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: And we talked about mac Jones. Yes, he hasn't had

526
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: a great season. However, his last two games he's stolen

527
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and more, and we know what he's capable of.

528
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: We seem like you said, he was a pro bowler.

529
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: What do you expect to see from mac Jones tomorrow

530
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: when we take them all, Well, I don't know what

531
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see. I mean, Matt has kind of been

532
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: like how what we been seeing on our end with

533
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, with Sam. So it's been up and down

534
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: here from But also know that Matt is the first

535
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: quarterback that this team, you know, the Commanders, is facing

536
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: that's not a mobile quarterback. So I'm expecting our guys

537
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: to pen in their ears back. I care less about

538
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: the two guys that we got rid of us. There's

539
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: other guys up, you know, and I'm prettyure we're gonna

540
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: talk about this down the road the next man up mentality.

541
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: But this is the opportunity for us to go out

542
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: there and really eat. Now, let's see how we when

543
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: it comes to having a guy that's going to be

544
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: a pocket passer. We also understand that Matt is second

545
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: in picks right now. We also understand that maddre not

546
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: pushing the ball down the field more than twenty yards.

547
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: So with all that being said, our dbs that that

548
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: favors us in the secondary, That favors our guys to

549
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: go out there and hunt to get him to, you know,

550
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: be uncomfortable a little bit. So I'm expecting us to

551
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: dictate the lot that what Mac does tomorrow when it

552
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: comes to good or bad. And you know, I care

553
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: less about what he did before, because at the end

554
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: of the day, we have to go out there and

555
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: play them and off of what we saw up to

556
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: this point. As a team, defense, as a staff, as

557
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: a coordinator, we should be able to affect him and

558
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't have that same success. That's some

559
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: of the things I we wanting to see from our teams.

560
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Like every other team in the league watches us and say, Okay,

561
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: this is what they trouble at, so we're gonna go

562
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: out there and attack them. I guess what happens. They're successful,

563
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: So why can't we be successful in the same way

564
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: of saying, okay, this is a this is a method

565
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: that we need to use to attack this guy. You

566
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: know he's not pushing the ball squat, if you know

567
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: that he can't get the ball downfield, squat, if you

568
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: know he's not a guy that's gonna get outside of the pocket,

569
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: rusham pos his back braing, blitzes, showing different looks, brain

570
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: a hot guy here and there, make them see if

571
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: he if he's on pointing with his hot reds. See.

572
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt's gonna ever be the Mat that

573
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: we saw rookie his rookie season until they get Josh

574
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: mcdanig's back, and I'm pretty sure he'll be back, so

575
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I'm not just there

576
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: because you don't have a job now, but he got

577
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: a home here. I understand how they do things, and

578
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: I think he's that whisper from Matt, you know what

579
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean. He's been the best thing that he ever had,

580
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: so I believe that he can be exceptional with a

581
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: with a coach like that. But I care less, man,

582
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: It's all about what we do, and I'm tired of

583
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: not seeing us take advantage of opportunities like this. We

584
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: need to tomorrow. And I think it's lets me saying

585
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: it and more for them doing than those guys doing it,

586
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: for sure. And you mentioned mac Jones's shortcomings right, his

587
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: hardships that he's had this year, and it's only gonna

588
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: get harder for him because he just lost his number

589
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: one guy, Kendrick Born out for the season. Juju Smith, Schuster,

590
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: and the Mario Douglas will be starting for the Patriots.

591
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: Combined, they have thirty four catches.

592
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: Total, so these guys aren't getting a lot of actions

593
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: are going a lot of touch.

594
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: Juju still a got worried about.

595
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: When you look at our secondary, how can I second

596
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: there capitalize off of this battered and bruised up wide

597
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: receiver house that they have in New England. It's got

598
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: to hendle your business. I mean, I think one of

599
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: the things that has been key to us when we

600
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: have had success is we've been, you know, getting the

601
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: pressure that we need up front. You know, when you

602
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: got like Juju's so you can't take it for granted.

603
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, although he don't have enough, you don't have

604
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: the yards to really you know, show for I mean,

605
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: he's still a guy that you've seen play you know,

606
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: some some good football. So don't don't take him for

607
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: granted to go out there and play your game. But

608
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: I think secondary wise, man, a lot of stuff that

609
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: we that we do in the secondary is predicated on

610
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: what we do up front because we're not trying to

611
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on guys we're rushing for and

612
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: we're saying that what with at the at one point

613
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: this year, we had four guys that we put a

614
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of money in that we said hey, we're gonna

615
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: get We're gonna be sure that those guys get home

616
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: and it hasn't happened. So what I would be doing

617
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: going forward is just listening to what Dax. I mean,

618
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: what del Rio said. They'll Rio say, we were rushed

619
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: as a pat as a unit. And I remember it

620
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: was a point of time when we didn't have Chase,

621
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: when we didn't have tests, tests, had a broken jawn

622
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: and some family issues. Chase was still recovering, and guess

623
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: what to hire Williams, all those brothers there, a bottle,

624
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: you name it, all those else there, and they played

625
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: like what. Del Rio is confident and he wouldn't come

626
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: out there on the limit and say that just to

627
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: say it. He said it because he's seen it happen before.

628
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm looking forward to seeing and we can

629
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: get that same kind of output from those guys and

630
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: what they showed earlier in their careers when they had

631
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: this opportunity. And I think this opportunity is a great

632
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: chance for those guys to really kind of put a

633
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: stake at where they want to, you know, do going

634
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: forward in their career? Do you want to be here now?

635
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: It's your chance to show that, Hey, guess what, you

636
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: ain't got to pay me chase money. But I'm a

637
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: guy that you get out on. You know what I'm saying.

638
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So but honestly, man, I

639
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: think that you know, I just want to see those

640
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: guys go out and handle their business because I believe

641
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: in the secondary we have a lot of capable guys

642
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: that can go out there and cover. A guy like

643
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: Juju Smith and I think he's a guy that still

644
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: can catch the ball. Well, he's not a guy that's

645
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna beat you down the field speed, deemon, anyhing like that.

646
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: So I would put my best on him.

647
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: I would put a guy like full on him, full

648
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: of his technique, sound, he's gonna pick off anything that

649
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: you you show him that he that he's reading and

650
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: so on film, and I would go with him with that.

651
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: But I think still going forward, the things that we

652
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: do up front will allow our guys in the back

653
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: end to play much better at Tanna mentioned this front

654
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: for b Mitch. These guys don't run the ball very

655
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: well either.

656
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 2: The patch. The Patriots don't run the ball well.

657
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: I think they averaging like seventy nine yards a game

658
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: rushing the football. How does that benefit a defensive line

659
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: that is missing some two key guys and has young

660
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: guys stepping.

661
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: Up and trying to come with a benefitsue.

662
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 4: If the Patriots just come out and just say, oh,

663
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 4: we're gonna just run the football. But I doubt if

664
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 4: Bill Bill Belli tech coach seam is gonna.

665
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: Just come out and run the football. Yeah, we struggled

666
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: stopping the pass.

667
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: He's gonna find out if we're gonna work in unison,

668
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: see if the pass resis is gonna come there as

669
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: a pat and you're gonna find out if the secondary

670
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: is gonna bite on double moves and things of that

671
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: nature as they've done.

672
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: We sat together in New York and.

673
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: We watched same guy run a double move.

674
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: And we're past.

675
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: It was Saint just and I think Alton Bill gonna say, okay,

676
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 4: they are.

677
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: Not good against the pass. We're gonna pass it here.

678
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: But Bill is so smart where he.

679
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: Will set you up like he gonna run a pass

680
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 4: and start running the football on you. So we now

681
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 4: as a defensive line, as they say we're gonna rush

682
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: as a pack. He ain't gonna just throw the ball

683
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty times. They're gonna make you stop

684
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: the run too. So will you be able to get

685
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: off of blocks, as I complained.

686
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: About earlier this year, to make sure you.

687
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: Can stop them from running too, because if you're gonna rush,

688
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: it's a pack.

689
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: If you haven't rushed, if you haven't done that very.

690
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: Well, they are gonna start trying to see if they

691
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: can get that on you, and in the process see

692
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: if you're gonna pay attention to the other stuff.

693
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: So the whole.

694
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: Narrative of doing what you can control that is gonna

695
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: be very, very prevalent tomorrow.

696
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: Yes, the defensive bat has.

697
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 4: Backfield has to be fundamental in the stuff and have

698
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 4: great communication. The front has to make sure that the

699
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 4: taking care of their business.

700
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: Linebackers.

701
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: If there's a running play field of damn gap and

702
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: stop them. Because this guy is gonna make his defense.

703
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: Offense tests our defense now flip it defensively. They're about

704
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: to find out if our young quarterback and this new

705
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 4: revamp offensive line can handle the pressure, can handle blizzes.

706
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: Because when he's had his most trouble, he's been rushed

707
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: and blitzed. They're gonna find out that tomorrow and if

708
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: he can pass that test, that's the one test I'm

709
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: waiting for I saw last week where the ball was

710
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: coming out quick, but they weren't really a business like

711
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: talking about they come up, they try his New York

712
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: Giants type of blitz. Will he read it, deliver the

713
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: ball and instead of catching it and then takes.

714
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: A more step and then start to get out of there.

715
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: When you start to see that, then you know you

716
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: got something.

717
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: On your head. And Tanna Bemis mentioned the test, right

718
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: and if you guys talking right now, this don't sound

719
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: like it's just the Commanders versus New England Patriots. It

720
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: sounds like it's the Commanders against Bill Belichick.

721
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: And that brain he has.

722
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Right now, this is Sam Howse, first time going up

723
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: against possibly the greatest me.

724
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, said the same thing and his fresh conference. Bill

725
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: Belichick is gonna find a way and he gonna test you. Yeah,

726
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 4: not only Eric, He's gonna test. He's gonna test Sam.

727
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

728
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: He's gonna test some of them offensive line and see

729
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 4: if they're gonna make the right calls. He's gonna test

730
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: to day receivers and see, do you know to run

731
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: a break off route right here? Or do you know

732
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: that we were just showing you something wouldn't though dressing

733
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: and then we backed out of it and you running

734
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: that dump off and we got somebody waiting in the

735
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 4: pass him like, yeah, he's gonna figure it out.

736
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Tanna to his point, what the Sam not

737
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: only the commanders, but what does Sam have to do

738
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: to pass this test?

739
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: That is Bill Belichick, this players game.

740
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that Brian just mentioned,

741
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: and that I was gonna mention, who knows that brill

742
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: Bill is even gonna come out here and bliss us.

743
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: He might show us an exotic look.

744
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: And had those guys rush full and drop everybody back

745
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: and say guess what. They wasn't successful doing this either

746
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: this year. So I'm waiting for that too. That Banana

747
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: the tail fighter always talked about, Yeah I got you

748
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: you feel for every time, or that Hawaiian punch got

749
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: you want to Hawaiian punch? Sure you know you got

750
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: punched last time. That's Bill man. He's gonna basically see

751
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: what kind of games can he play with you, And

752
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: he knows have a defense that's more than capable to

753
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: go out there and affect the game. You saw every

754
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: big game that he played this year, they had they

755
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: had a hand in it. They they was in it

756
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: close enough. It was a player two here and there

757
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: officively that they didn't make.

758
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: This is the reason why they was out of those

759
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: big games.

760
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: This is a game that they look at and say, hey,

761
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: this is this is this team handicapp this young guy,

762
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: and what he's known to do is make young guys

763
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: look even younger. You know what I mean, He's gonna

764
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: really truly test you and see if you ready. Now,

765
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: last week, one of the things that stood out that

766
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: if y'all didn't see it, I saw it. You saw

767
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: Sam have command enough to go out to the line

768
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and kind of check out of things and

769
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: the I'm not sure if he was really it could

770
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: be dummy calls, but I watched the patients in every

771
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: play that he called when I guess it was because

772
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: the center was showing him things a little more quicker,

773
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: and he saw it clear enough that he was able

774
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: to go and do some of those things, and he

775
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: was taking advantage of those man looks hitting guys on slants.

776
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: What a bill come out and show him those things

777
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: looks knowing that okay, this is what they gonna do,

778
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: and you trying to go and slant on us. Let's

779
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: show him the same look and now being that slant land. Yeah, yeah,

780
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: you gotta gotta trust me. It's it's like playing chess,

781
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: not check us, you know what I mean. So that's

782
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be interested in, just watching to see

783
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: the kind of games that he put he brings. But

784
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: I think also you look at it long as we

785
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: understand that offensively, regardless of how we affect the game,

786
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: whether it's in the past or the run, we have

787
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: to get.

788
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: Out on a fast start.

789
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: And what I mean by fast star is we have

790
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: to play ahead of the chains, play ahead of the

791
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: each down. If we get any positive yardage every down,

792
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: then that gets a chance to do some other things

793
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: with our offense. And now fall into that kind of

794
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: that trap of allowing him to dictate what we do offensively.

795
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: A lot of time when we watched us play in

796
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: New York, the reason why we were sitting there passing

797
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: into the bullcrack they was bringing us because we allowed

798
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: them to dictate that. We allowed them to get ahead

799
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: on us.

800
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: So we don't allow that offensively.

801
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: Every time we have one of.

802
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: Those games where we're controlling the clock, we're.

803
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: Running it down, we're driving and scoring finishing that gives

804
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: our defense a chance to go out there and make

805
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: stops and now we don't have to fight and say, well,

806
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: now we got to one up there. We can run

807
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: the ball a little more, try to find strings here

808
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: and there and stuff. So I'm just hoping that we

809
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: have one of those kinds of games, Like I say,

810
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm done with all this. What we're gonna do and

811
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: what should we do? I want to see competitive football

812
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of these years.

813
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: I mean throughout the rest of this season to our years.

814
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, years two, but throughout the rest of this season,

815
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: and the best team shall be victorious. You understand, the

816
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: best team that suited, that went out there and staying

817
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: withstood every test that the other team gave should be victory,

818
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: should have victory. So I want to see our team

819
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: be there because I think they more than capable. But

820
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: it's time for them to show of that kind of

821
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: football going forward and for all those keys to happen

822
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: that you mentioned A big part of that. Let's keep

823
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: it Sam protected, give Sam Sam, giving him time in

824
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: that pocket for the first time. We almost saw that

825
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: last game right where we saw him get protected. Kind

826
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: of a new offensive line Beman, you mentioned a little earlier.

827
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: What are you spou to see from this offensive line?

828
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: How can they improve on a really good game against

829
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 1: a really tough YO.

830
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 3: By drilling they did last week and then building off

831
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: of it.

832
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: I think what we saw last week is that the

833
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 4: old line and Sam worked in unison. When the old

834
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 4: line blocked well, he was able to hold it a

835
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 4: little longer and go through his progression. When the old

836
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: line didn't block well, he got the hands the ball

837
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: out of his hand real quickly. And when you're when

838
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: you're having to not do that every play, you know,

839
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 4: you fall into a rhythm.

840
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: And I think that's what happened last week.

841
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 4: And we need to see the same thing where that

842
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 4: office will last to look at it and say, you

843
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 4: know what we played okay last week, Let's step it

844
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: up a little bit more. And I think what happens

845
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 4: is people don't get it. Larson coming in when he

846
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 4: played before it there was six and one when he

847
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: was at the Helm, may not have anything directly to

848
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: do with him, but they play a better offensively, and

849
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: most things start with the center making calls, and when

850
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 4: the cine makes a call, the quarterback is relaxed. And

851
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 4: now the quarterback can go through his stuff feeling comfortable.

852
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 4: So that one move may have been the move that

853
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 4: we needed to where everything starts off in a comfortable level.

854
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 4: Now where Sam is ultra comfortable, the offense now settles

855
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 4: down and you could get into a rith So like

856
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 4: we sit there. We always talk about receivers, running backs, quarterback,

857
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 4: defensive back, but I always say that the games are

858
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 4: won in the trenches, and the smartest people and the

859
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: most important people on the office on the offense is

860
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: the offensive line.

861
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when.

862
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 4: They made that little move to go to the losson

863
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 4: things seem to change. I understand why they went and

864
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: got Larson had injury issues at first.

865
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: If he can stay healthy that maybe you answer right there.

866
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: And he talks about winning that battle in the trenches.

867
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: We have Brian Robinson Jr. Talk about a trenches running back, right,

868
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: a guy that really gets in and puts his nose

869
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: in it.

870
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 2: Is this the game?

871
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: Patriots defense is pretty good against the run, but is

872
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: this the game and we see Brian Robinson Jr. Bust

873
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: back out and really get those rushing yards up. That's

874
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: a great question, man, And I think you know, like

875
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: I alluded to before. I think when when we do

876
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: what we do offensively kind of will dictate how we

877
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: run the ball. I don't think we necessarily have to

878
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: having a big effect in him just getting the ball

879
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: handoff into his gut, but just getting him volumes regardless

880
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: of touches. You know, like last week, the reason why

881
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: he was able to have those big runs because we

882
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: had those guys guessing, Yes, they wasn't putting their ears

883
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: back and saying this is what they're finna do. They

884
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: didn't know what was coming because we had we stayed

885
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: ahead of the chains. He wasn't getting sacked, you know

886
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: what I mean, if the play wasn't there, was getting

887
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: rid of the ball, and even when the play was

888
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: there was getting rid of the ball and to the

889
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: flats to somebody that can give us two or three,

890
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: four or five yards. So it's gonna be. I think

891
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be predicated on how we play offensively to

892
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: see if we if we allow Robertson to go out

893
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: there and do what he do. Right, I've still been

894
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: waiting on that, and I don't think it's over or

895
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, you know rint in Stone that we're

896
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: not going to have that kind of you know, game

897
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: plan come one day, because I feel like you need

898
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: it at this time, and especially when things get cold

899
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: and guys don't want to tackle, and you know, get late,

900
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: get late in the season, when folks folks body start

901
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, feeling it. You want to be at a pound.

902
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, he b is doing a

903
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: great job at what he has right now because he

904
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: understands he has this opportunity that he can do this.

905
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: He has to quarterback and has the receivers that he

906
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: can trust in pass the ball around the yard like that.

907
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping, I don't know. I don't know if

908
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be distance the game. But like I said before,

909
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: the offense of how we start and how productive we

910
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: are every series will allow.

911
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: Us to have more effective runs.

912
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: And I think the more opportunities you get anybody that's

913
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: the better opportunity or the better chances he'll have to

914
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: break a few them.

915
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: Like I saw last week, the situation of the game

916
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 4: will dictate it. You know, get up by fourteen, ten

917
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 4: or bout twenty and then you start running it. Because

918
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 4: this is what I think most of our fan base,

919
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 4: even us, we forget.

920
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: When we were.

921
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 4: Talking about coming into this season, we talked about sam

922
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: how throwing the football and Terry Johannes and Curtis Samuel

923
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 4: doing their thing with the other receivering Gordy Sir. We

924
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 4: basically talked more about the pass of the run. What

925
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: are they doing going with more than a run? But ultimately,

926
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 4: you have to win first second down. Then you can

927
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 4: be able to dictate what you want to do. But

928
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: if you lose first second down, whether you run it,

929
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 4: lose throw it and ain't completed, you gotta throw the ball.

930
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 3: And I think that's the ultimately.

931
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: I've heard people go, well, he threw the ball every first.

932
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 4: Down we won the game. Okay, they did great, they

933
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 4: threw the ball first down, we lost the game. That's

934
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: an excuse me when we wanted to shut up. Ye man,

935
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 4: that ain't the reason be long we didn't. We didn't

936
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 4: win the game. You gotta understand you can have that

937
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: success even though you're doing something that we don't think

938
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: you should do.

939
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and be mitched. She mentions messes the receiver standard.

940
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: And we've seen John get off last game, We've seen

941
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Curtis get multiple touchdowns.

942
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: We know Terry's gonna do his thing.

943
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: Which receiver on this offense do you expect do you

944
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: predict to get off.

945
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 2: The most tomorrow?

946
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: Jamison crowning many.

947
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the guy who they not gonna expect.

948
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: But no, I'm not. I'm just being real, like I

949
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: think he's a better He's a that he's played against

950
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: these guys a couple of times in a year. You

951
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: saw last week he had just had Jamison on the

952
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Players Club bod and he talked about the opportunities that

953
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: he was giving our offense on the special team side

954
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: of things. But to see them go out there on

955
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: the offensive side and see that he didn't miss a

956
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 1: step from when we had him when he was winning Aden,

957
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: it was a pleasant sight, you know what I mean.

958
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: And when you have a guy like Terry, when you

959
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: have Johann that hash showed them like you get keep

960
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: matching me on one on one and see what I

961
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: do to your guys. It's gonna have to be a

962
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, someone else got to play that role or

963
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: being that guy, whether it's gonna be you know, Logan

964
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: Thomas or Jamison. Once somebody's gonna have to play a

965
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: major role in the passing game depending on what kind

966
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: of covers those other two guys get, and you never know,

967
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: they might not even cover those guys with doubles or

968
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: just let them go out and do their thing because

969
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: they're so confident in what they can do, you know,

970
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: pressure wise. But I do believe, man, having a guy

971
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: like Jamison and I'm trusting me, I'm not turning my

972
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: back on Sam's guys. I believe Sammy's is one of

973
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: those threats that you know, you you rarely see in

974
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: this league or only but so many teams have you know,

975
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: Swiss Army Knights like a Sam Curtis Samuels. But right

976
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: now with Jamison being in the lineup and getting those opportunities, man,

977
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm confident that if those other guys see a lot

978
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: of coverage that way, yeah, he can take on that

979
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: low he can take on, you know, a responsible amount

980
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: of targets and go out there and be productive and

981
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: feels before we rat one of my favorite phrases in sports,

982
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: next man up. We talked about this defense that we're

983
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: missing two very very big guys. Who is the next

984
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: man up on that defensive line that you feel is

985
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: going to step up and make plays?

986
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: In the absence of Sweat and young be Michelle start.

987
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 4: With you, Well, I'm a gon case two here because

988
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 4: I saw him do it already, and I think we

989
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: already seen Casey came in the game this year when

990
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 4: on Chase didn't play, he got two sets.

991
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: So Casey two Hill is.

992
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 4: A veteran player with the motor who understands the opportunity

993
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: that he gets. Now, there may be some other guys

994
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 4: step up and do their thing, but I have more

995
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 4: confidence in him.

996
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 3: And right behind him James.

997
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 4: Smith, two guys that are guess what, they are playing

998
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: for a contract deal too. I get that third four years,

999
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: fifty years, things like that. Way they can get paid

1000
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: some more money. People always think that it just elevates

1001
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: the guy in the first round with a rookie gun track.

1002
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 4: Everybody wants more money. So those two guys now giving

1003
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: a chance to be out there all the time. And

1004
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 4: then I'm looking at the young bucks. You know kJ

1005
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 4: Henry didn't play well in preseason. Now you got a chance,

1006
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 4: Andre Jones, you were showing a lot then they kind

1007
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 4: of backed off of it a little bit.

1008
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: Come back and show what you showed in preseason.

1009
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 4: So I just want to see it because I think

1010
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 4: everybody now when although these moves were made, other guys

1011
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 4: are putting the position to have an opportunity to go

1012
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: and show.

1013
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 3: This is what I'm about.

1014
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm with be Mitched on that. I

1015
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: think the obvious would be two here because you saw

1016
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: his motor You saw how he gets out there. Man,

1017
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: Like he got a sacked last week where Hurst gave

1018
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: it to him because he ran him down. He didn't

1019
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: even know he was coming and hers slid, you know,

1020
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: prematurely because he saw another guy coming. But two Hill

1021
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: was right there because he hustled backside and made that play.

1022
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: But I think it's gonna be basically that core of

1023
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: guys who get the opportunity. I think that's why you say,

1024
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna go as a pack, because it's

1025
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna be many guys filling that void of the two

1026
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: guys that left, and collectively as a core.

1027
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that d.

1028
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: Line should play more efficient, you know what I mean.

1029
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying because those guys are gone. I'm just

1030
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: saying because now the mindset of that decordinator, he will

1031
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: be called and plays and such that now I can't

1032
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: just let those guys go eat by the Yeah, exactly.

1033
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: I have to get guys chances individually to go out

1034
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: there and make a play. So what I mean by

1035
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: that is, yeah, you got a Casey two here out

1036
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: that he might say, Hey, Casey, I need you to

1037
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: take one for the team and crash down so I

1038
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: can get Jonathan around you and he get that stun

1039
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: in and he go out there and get the quarterback

1040
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: when the quarterback try to get on the out side.

1041
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: Because you see everything crash inside. Stuff like that, It's

1042
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna be different games that they gonna be able to play.

1043
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: Knowing where now we don't have the guy the manpower

1044
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: that can go out there and affect the game individually,

1045
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: we have to do it as a corse. So I

1046
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a collective bargain kind of situation.

1047
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

1048
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: All those guys together should be able to equal to

1049
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: go out there and be effective of you know, make

1050
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: effective moves and defend. What we've been trying to do

1051
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: so much is put pressure on those quarterbacks.

1052
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: You fellas small.

1053
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: Definitely gonna be an exciting game, man, It's been exciting

1054
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: and fun when they get out of the yard house

1055
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: on Boston, Massachusetts. That's right, we're getting ready for a

1056
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: Week nine matchup against the New England Patients. And felt,

1057
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: before I'll let you go, I need predictions me, miss,

1058
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you predictions for tomorrow, whether that's

1059
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: a score, whether that's a feeling. What is gonna go

1060
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: down tomorrow?

1061
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: I have a feeling, And this is what everybody's been

1062
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 4: asking me all week. Man, how the guys gonna respond.

1063
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 4: My feeling is they gonna come out there and they're

1064
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 4: gonna respond in a.

1065
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 3: Very very good way.

1066
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 4: Because let's be real, the moves that were made were twofold,

1067
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 4: they were respectful to the guys they let go, and

1068
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 4: they also telling you, we're working to make sure we're

1069
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 4: gonna have future stuff to make this thing right.

1070
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: So if you want to go.

1071
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 4: Along with the right hat, you gotta put it in

1072
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 4: your show, and you guys put.

1073
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: It in your bed to say I want to be

1074
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 3: a part of it.

1075
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: So I think these guys are gonna come out here

1076
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 4: and play very very hard because we've also without her.

1077
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 4: Was that and also how good Bill Belichick is against

1078
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 4: the Commanders. So if I'm a guy on that team,

1079
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 4: the way I react, he gonna get my absolute better

1080
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: and my guys, I'm gonna drag them along with me.

1081
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 3: And I believe there are guys on the team.

1082
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 4: That think a little like me in that aspect, and

1083
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 4: I think ultimately they're gonna come out there and play, play,

1084
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 4: play very hard.

1085
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: Listen.

1086
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 4: I can't tell you we gonna go out and beat

1087
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 4: them by thirty, can't say we're gonna beat.

1088
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: Them by three.

1089
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 4: But what I want if I see them going out

1090
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 4: they given every damn thing that they have. I believe

1091
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 4: they're the better team this year. Yes, and they should

1092
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: win the game point blank.

1093
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: Agree.

1094
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1095
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: I think on paper, when you look at it, man,

1096
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: you say, you should almost think that that's the layup

1097
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: for us. You know what I mean, this game, But

1098
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: we've been in a situation before where the layup games

1099
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: haven't been a layup for us. I will face a

1100
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: shot exactly. I don't have I have a score in mind,

1101
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't have us winning the game. But what I

1102
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: would tell you that that I want to see if

1103
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: those guys go out there and play the way they

1104
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: played last week, can we put two games together in

1105
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: a row. You know, although we didn't win last week,

1106
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: but offensively defensively, special teams wise. We was in that

1107
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: game throughout the We was hit the lead of that

1108
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: game until we had that one costly turnover late in

1109
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: the game. So I want to see those guys knowing

1110
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: that we on the road, a lot of the stuff

1111
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: that you know, you know plays a big a major role,

1112
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: a key role. And having success on the road was

1113
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: what we did last week by you know, standing ahead

1114
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: of the chains, you know, you know, possessing the football,

1115
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 1: you know, our defense getting off the field on third down.

1116
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: Our defense had some stuff that happened last week that

1117
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: I was just stretching.

1118
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: My head about.

1119
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, they stopped the touch push on the doll line,

1120
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: they had a turnover, they got two turnovers within the

1121
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: five yard line like stuff like that. This that's that

1122
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: plays a major role when you're on the road. Can

1123
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: we have that same kind of plays? So that's a

1124
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna outcome. And if you ask me, if you play

1125
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: the way you played last week, if you have that

1126
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: kind of competitive edge, then the best team should be you.

1127
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: But it's all about them. We're going out there and

1128
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: doing it. So I want to see that done and

1129
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: if they do that, then there's no question in my mind,

1130
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: they should come away, you know, Victoria's and Felas. If

1131
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: I had a prediction, I'd have to predict that we're

1132
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun tomorrow. We have a
