Speaker 1: Hello, Lena, say about the rookies, you know, the way

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Alex started the game, the way Vernardo ended the year. Yeah,

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about it. So big, so big.

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about, uh during the week it

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: being a must win and all those type of things

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: and the gravity of the game.

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: And to have your young guys, rookies coming in and

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: making those type of plays to help win a game, Uh,

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: so big and really happy for them, happy for our

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: team finding a way to win.

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: And uh, yeah it was. It was great seeing them

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: do that.

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: What's it like when you're saying it's a must win

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: game in the locker room?

16
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: Is it practice field? Is it different heading into one where.

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: You guys kind of have the emergency like going on

18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, and even though it's early in the yeah,

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: I think you know, we knew the gravity of the situation.

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: We couldn't drop O three in the division, you know,

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: to start the year. And my message to the guys

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, during warm ups was, you know,

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: just stay focused on the process, being the moment.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: You know, all this talk about must win, all this

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: other stuff.

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Is great, but you know, how we're gonna execute, How

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna come out, what type of energy and tenacity

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: are we're gonna play with?

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: And uh, I think everybody showed up the right.

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Way thousand and you know that was something that was

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: something Yeah it sucks, but yes, uh uh, it was

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: something that felt familiar for sure. And I'm like, hey,

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: we can go one to two AA's right here. We

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: can stand tall, uh in a hostile environment in the

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: game that we know that we gotta get or you know,

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: we can settle for exactly how we've been doing, how

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: we've been playing the last couple of weeks or the

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: last you know, a couple of losses we've had. And

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: that's what I'm probably most proud about right now is

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: you know the way we stood.

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Up Yeah, I mean defensively.

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Uh. I think we they had brought it to within

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: one Hey, George, we brought it within once, had brought

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: it within one score, you know, And I'm looking at

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Bosa and some of the other guys and I'm like, hey, like,

46
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you realize we're winning the game, and like we have

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: the opportunity on defense to stall him out right now,

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, and and kill that momentum that they've gotten.

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: So I think We went out and we stopped him

50
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: on that drive and the offense got the ball back

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: and the rest was kind of history.

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was.

53
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: It was one of those moments where it's like, hey,

54
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: you gotta let's go do it.

55
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: I know, you run on the.

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Field for the challenge that they kind of threw there

57
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: with part return, But at what point is is it

58
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: making its way down the field that there was an

59
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: angle that you.

60
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Know showed him touching the ball, or like, how does

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: that kind of work when you're winging on the sidelines?

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Do do you hear about that?

63
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: No?

64
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I have no idea how any of that works. You know,

65
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: I left my head coach take care of all that.

66
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: He does a good job. Uh yeah, I mean I'm

67
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: I'm just out.

68
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm back in coverage and it looked like, you know,

69
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: we got a hitch from Gino and he thought, you know,

70
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: John Gina must have seen something that he liked. And

71
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I turned around to see Ronaldo picked that ball off,

72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and my mindset was let's go score and try and

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: get a block for him. Alan got his interception and

74
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: he ran right out of bounds. I'm like, what are

75
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: we doing? So you gotta learn you gotta learn. Hey,

76
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: come on, let's go. We gotta god. You see, the

77
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: first red zone does feel like the kind of weight

78
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: off you're talking about for our offense or George, what

79
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: did you guys do you scored? Didn't you go?

80
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: Scored from six?

81
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: But yours was the red zone. Yeah, George is a

82
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: good player for us, and he does a good job.

83
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: So so this brought Yeah, I'm not really I'm not

84
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: really worried about whatever they got going on. They I

85
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: know they'll take care of business and do what they

86
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: gotta do. It's our job on defense to be better

87
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone ourselves.

88
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: DK had eleven targets only three catches, and that looked

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: like maybe it was gonna be an issue with that

90
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: moody there. I'm sure not staring at the secondary, you know,

91
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: but you know what, what's your assessment of the job

92
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: they did?

93
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: I can't I can't say enough about it. You know,

94
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: that was that was a big thing for us pre game.

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, we lose obviously one of our best corners

96
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: before the game starts and guys are getting shuffled around,

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: and he's a he's a big part of what they do.

98
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what was going on with

99
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: with their offense. It didn't seem like he was he was.

100
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: He was kind of rotating in and out. But yeah,

101
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: we we made his hard. Was we made his life

102
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: hard for you know, most of the game. And I

103
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: know he got he got some on us, but we

104
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: got more. And I'm so proud of our back end

105
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: and the way that they competed.

106
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
