1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great, great mother. What's it like for you

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: going into a game, Uh, it was like last for

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: you whatever, knowing you gotta carry the load of the

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: workload with with what you guys do. How what's the

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: mental approach like for you going into a game like that? Uh?

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like you said it, just mentally,

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: just knowing that. Uh, I got a big responsibility and

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: I have to execute. Uh, just hit all my points,

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: just do what I do, what we worked on in practice,

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: and just nothing more. Nothing. Let's just just work on

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: what we worked on and just stick to the script

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot. I love it. I love when

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: the balls in my hands. I love when I could, uh,

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, help the team. So I love it. Bill

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: told us a little mile ago that he loved you

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: next year seven twice. Right, Uh he told you that.

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Uh now he hasn't. But I feel like, just I

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: feel like there's that that chemistry between us, and you know,

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: he he knows I'm gonna come in here and just

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: work hard, and I think he just respects that, and

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: I respect him. He's a great coach, you know, hall

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: of fame coach, and yeah, I love him too. So

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned chemistry, just because that's obviously no matter where

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about, is something that takes time to volte up.

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Was there a moment that you know, you first felt

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: that chemistry, noticed that he would recognize hay Minders coming

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: into work, and then, um, I wouldn't say there's a

28
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: certain moment that I really realized that. It's just something

29
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: that something that I noticed, like just out of the

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: blue kinda and and yeah, it's just I come in

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: here at work every day, just like a lot of

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the other players in here. So I think it's just

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just a respect thing. He sees what

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing, he sees I'm working very hard. Things like

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: that you talk to us about talking about the younger

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: backs and like feeling probably they got the time on

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: the field and sort of HARKing back to your time

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: where you took a little while to figure it out.

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Do you think maybe in that part of it too,

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: how you bounce back from you know, maybe the initial

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: struggles and came back stronger and better, and like, hey,

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: he learned that that's something that the coaches appreciate. Yeah,

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: I think that could be it. I mean, you gotta

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: really ask them, but I think that could be it.

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I probably myself, I'm being coachable, try I try to

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: do exactly what was asked to me. And I think

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: they noticed that breaking tackles and kind of alluding defenders

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: has been one of your strengths going back to the Lahoma.

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Is that something that you can, I don't know, continue

50
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: to like work on or is that just a kind

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: of a given trait that you have. Um, I'd say

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. Anything with football and sports

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: period could be worked on. So just just knowing what

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: leverage the tacklers are coming in with things like that,

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: just getting more familiar with that and just watching film,

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: just seeing how a certain certain team, certain guys on

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: certain teams just come in for the tackle and just

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: work off that. What have you learned about the Colts

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: kind of cover three defense that they come in and

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: play under a coach rather, Yeah, they have a great defense.

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: They fly around, they got great backers, got a great front,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: they got good players in the back end. So it's

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: just gonna be a challenge just like any other week.

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's gonna be a challenge, just another defense,

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: just another challenge. And there's a defense like that that

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: kind of consistently. That's what it does. You know, we're

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: facefles in this game. The system, What does the challenge

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: you need to that persons a defense that might be

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: game plan oriented and kind of change its front, its purpens. Yeah,

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: what they run. I feel like they that's what they

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: run all the time. So they're all the players, all

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: the coaches, they are very used to that. So I

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: feel like they're just confident running what they run and

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: just is what it is. Last year, you guys, especially

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the year went on, it was clearly offensive idea and

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: he was sort of lack of a better term of

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: smouth smash mouth, you know, like we're gonna play you physical,

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna run at you. And I remember, I think

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: it was David Andrews said, like teams don't want to

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: get into that kind of game in these days. Do

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: you feel like maybe in the group is starting to

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: edge back in that direction. I would, I would say,

83
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: so we we harp on just being physical every day

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I practiced, So just playing a tough, physical game, like

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: and like DA said, like not a lot of people

86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: want to want to endure at the fourth quarters. So

87
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: just playing smath mount smash mouse of football going downhill.

88
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: I think it takes a toll on the defense. He

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: can you see that as the game goes on, like

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: that guy doesn't He can't at me pretty hard early,

91
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: but now it seems like you're the third or fourth quarters.

92
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Keep going from my ankle smouth right, yeah, they I

93
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: mean everybody gets tired during the course of a game.

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, just keeping that stamina and just running hard

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: the whole game. Yeah, fourth quarter, you notice it, Roger.

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: After the chess game, Kendrick Borne said that you were

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: reminding him of James White with how you're picking up

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: the receiving game. Is there any sort of big advice

99
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: that James White gave you, any any sort of help

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: in terms about picking up the passing game? Yeah, I

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: mean we could be here all night with that James White.

102
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: He just like he coached me up a lot on

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: and off the field. So I just just him being

104
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: there for me and just telling me how to read defenses,

105
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the right way to run route, just just the whole thing. Like, yeah,

106
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: he was very instrumental. What's going on now? You still

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: hear from James? Yeah? Yeah, pretty album. A couple of

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: times a month, I would say, love would you like,

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. I wish did you enjoy the mental

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: part of what you guys did on Sunday too? You know,

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: it seemed like you guys had a fight from the

112
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: beginning the game all the way through Mack and everything.

113
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: You talked about the physical part. How book going at

114
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: it that way too? Yeah, you got to be mentally

115
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: tough in this in this league. Uh, and I feel

116
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: like that's what we were. You got to play a

117
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: whole fourth quarter, especially with that team they were. They

118
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: were great in the fourth quarter. Uh, just all season long.

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: They were great in the fourth quarter, I'm saying. And

120
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: we knew, we knew they were. We knew they had

121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: a couple of two minute jobs that they finished and

122
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: things like that, so we did. We knew we had

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to stay on the gas and try to finish the game.

124
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: Your hair, Yeah, I got it. I got my hair

125
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: should make a rule like fom full the hair man.

126
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,880

127
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: of my uniforms though. Yeah, I'll never cut him. Yes,
