00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: So great excited to uh get back out there and

00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: you know, get a win and earn another week.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: Uh with my team. So feeling good going into this game.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: How's this game different than the other three games anty championship.

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Games for you? Uh? Everything.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's a new season, new team.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, really don't compare the others.

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, East season is a a new journey, so

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: it's just another step on, you know, our journey for

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season. What do you see from

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: from the run game, especially of you know when the

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 2: East Montgomery of physical.

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Flag, Uh, greater running the ball. I've had a lot

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: of success. Uh.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: They have two different styles of backs, which opens up

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: their playbook for them.

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: Uh. With Gibbs they have you know.

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: A lot of design runs for him, and then also

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: with Montgomery, they have a you know, some different runs

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: for him.

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: He's more of a power back.

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: But Uh, they do a great job and they have

24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: a great o old line and so it's gonna be

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: a huge challenge for us.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: Kerr.

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 4: You're one of the only guys on the team that

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: was here before Shanahan came. I'm curious what you remember

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: about his arrival and kind of how he communicated his

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: vision for the team at the time.

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was when he came, you know, they he

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: brought a new uh, new energy, new uh sense of urgency,

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: and uh definitely was a change in the culture.

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: It was a lot of hard, hard work and you know,

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: everyone was, you know, trying to prove that we deserve

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: to be here, you know when they got here, and so,

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: you know, it was a new energy around the building

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: and you know it was it was good though we

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: had uh instantly when he came in. He talked about

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: building a brotherhood and how the best teams are the

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: closest teams, and how we have to treat one another

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, we put a lot of hard

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: work in to get us to to this point where

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: you know, we've got to turn around and winning a

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: bunch of football games.

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: You played a jured golf quite a quite a few

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: times over the years.

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: How has he evolved?

50
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: How how was he different than when he was with

51
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: the Rams.

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: Think it's pretty I mean think it's pretty similar in

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: terms of, you know, the player that he is. I

54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: think he was a good player when he was with

55
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: the Rams as well too. I think that you know,

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: whenever as you continue to get older and you go

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: through more experiences your career, of course you get wiser

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: and you get hardened and sh and I'm sure that

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: that situation of him leaving, you know, LA had a

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: big impact on his career as a player and mindset

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: and all those different types of things. And so in

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: terms of like football, just play, just being a football

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: player though, I think he's been a great quarterback in

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: this league, which he continues to show. So Kurk, I

65
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: wonder about the battle that coach Holland is going through.

66
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: How does that kind of inspire you and inspire your teammates.

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Uh, it's always been inspiring, you know, for us throughout

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: these years. He's a great energy around the building and

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: a big part of our success. And uh, you know,

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: he's also takes the time out to talk to us

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: and you know mentor us about s you know, football

72
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: and and stuff off.

73
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: The field too.

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: So consider we have a great relationship, and uh, it's

75
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: been great having him here and having a man like

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: that who you know, has played in the league, had

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: a lot of similar experiences us fighting through adversity and

78
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: is on the coaching side now, and a lot we

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: can learn from him, So definitely a huge blessing to

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: have him, you know, be a part of our staff.

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: I think some of us, maybe many of us watch

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: too much movies and tomorrow speech from coach was gonna

83
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: be a big raw Ross speech. He said, It's really

84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: not like that. You guys not need that type of motivation.

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean if you gotta get motivated to

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: play an NFC championship, you know, I don't know what

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: to tell you at this point. You know, everything is

88
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: on the line, everything you work so hard for, uh

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: to you know, earn the right to extend your season

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: and go to the super Bowl. So I don't think

91
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: guys need need too much motivation.

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: What's your routine like in the final forty eight hours

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: before it came like.

94
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: This, routine's the same.

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: Try to get some rest, you know, take care of

96
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: my body. Uh, wake up in the morning, get moving around,

97
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: head over to the stadium early. Uh, get moving around,

98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: get treatment, finishing up on some last film or you know,

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: reviewing my assignments, and then you know, get my right

100
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: mind right to take the fields.

101
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Devo.

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: He's a hundred percent good to go. How does his

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: presence change each the long room? On game day and

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: then a game like Sunday specifically.

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: UH Deebo is one of the best players in the league,

106
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: and so having him on our on our uh on

107
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: our team, and you know, having him on the field,

108
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: we we feel his energy when he's making plays. He's

109
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: inspiring us on on defense as well too because of

110
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: how he plays his position and delivering punishment to opposing defenses.

111
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: So having him out there is gonna be great.

112
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: Is there a game this season and maybe it was

113
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: the last game, but where you were just really proud

114
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: of the way the team kind of came back, whether

115
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: it's from the lost the week before or anything like that.

116
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: Uh, I think there's been a lot of ups and downs,

117
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, throughout this year, just like with any season.

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: You know, I think, uh everybody thought the sky was

119
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: falling when we lost three in a row, and uh, you.

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Know, we responded pretty well to that. You know, we.

121
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: You know, got beat Christmas game in front of the world.

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: How we responded to that to be in this position, So,

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's always up and down start of season.

124
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: I know that we have a a resilient group that

125
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: starts with our culture and our foundation, and you know,

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: we just play football. We love playing football, and no

127
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: matter what happens, we're gonna keep, you know, keep going.

128
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: They ll I think very
