1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: What kind of advantage is do you have, you know,

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: being accustomed to playing in this environment. I don't think

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: you're ever accustomed to it. You know, it's harder, the

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: ball is hard, it's slick, um, you know. I think

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: there's a statistic out there that you lose like thirty

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: or forty percent of your hand strength and some freezing

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: degree temperature. I read it on I'm not a fact

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: check guy, but I think I read it on similar once,

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: so I believe it. But uh, you know, it's it's

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: definitely a little tougher, and you know, we we do

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: practice in it a lot, So I wouldn't say you

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: become fully accustomed to it, but you definitely know what

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: you're getting into when you're playing one of those. So

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe that is. I don't know. What about the mental

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: toughness aspect. You know, if it's a bad day, you

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: guys have that. Well, you've worked on mental toughness all

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: your long How important is that? I think you strive

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to work on that continuously through the year. Um, you know,

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: because games changes each week. Um, there's some games we

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: were tougher than other games mentally, Um, you know, and

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: that's what you strive to go do each week. So, um,

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: I I guess it works on your mental toughness. Um,

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: but uh, I just do what I'm told. If coaches

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: asked me to go out and practice out there, that's

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. And I trust his uh processing

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: and coach. If it makes us better, it makes us better.

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of the where I go with

28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: it your career. Did you I guess the constant right there?

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: But did you get used to playing in the cold, lad,

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: and start to think that I tell you, I'm not

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: gonna lie I. This year when we play in our

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: first kind of colder game, I'm like, damn, I did

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: not miss this. But uh, you know, because it's different

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: than when you're in the off season, you're in LA

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: or the spring where it's hot. Um, and I am

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: lad in a long time. UM, so uh, like I said,

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you're always trying to get accustomed to it. Um. You know,

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: our equipment staff does a great job of keeping the

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: sidelines warm and all that, and they have all the

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: gear and you know with TV timeouts, this that and

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: the other. You know, you you can use the hand

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: warmers and all that stuff. So you just try to

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: do that but you know, as much as you do it,

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: the other teams got to do it as well. So

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: the more you can focus on your game plan and

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: then those types of things, that's usually the helping factor.

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: How how warm all those big Cape jackets you guys,

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: they're pretty warm? Uh? You know. Yeah, they keep you,

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: they keep you toasty. Uh, they just kill the wind.

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: That's what it is. The wind. Sometimes if it's windy,

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: it gets cold. Um. But you know the Jets they

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: play in cold weather too. I think we're like maybe

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: three or four degrees colder. But yeah, they gotta they'll

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: be ready for much. Just the beard. The beard, it

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: does keep my face a little warmer, so you know,

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: I guess it does help. But I I don't remember

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: the last time I didn't have a beard. When it

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: was cold six months, I mean, I lost I lost count.

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about the New York Jets, and uh,

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's where my my focus is. You know,

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: we got a tough team coming in that plays us

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: tough hard every year. I got a defense that gets

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: after you great on third down and try rip your

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: head off. Um. So beard or no beard, Um, yeah,

65
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: that's what that's where my my thoughts will be but

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: the beard definitely does keep me warmer, you raise or

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: sharp as ever you're telling them, we gotta be sharp,

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: sharp as now. Chatto put on blocking with the receivers. Uh.

69
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: He puts a huge emphasis Chattio on on blocking. That's

70
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I remember when I first got here, the whole thing

71
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: for a receiver was get open and catch the ball

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: and Chad you know later then put on and compete

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: in blocking the run game. UM. Yeah, he definitely has

74
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: that toughness. He's you know, he's part of that ucleus,

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: nucleus that makes us tough. Uh, you know, because he's

76
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: always harping on that and UM, you know we take

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: pride in that, uh, with with his coaching style and

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: what he wants to get done and how we got

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: to go out and execute it. Um. So you know

80
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: this this will definitely be you know, a huge test

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: this week. Um. This this this team is very good

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: um against the run going down downhill. Uh. And so

83
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna have We're gonna a test this week, that's

84
00:04:51,040 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: for sure. I guess zero
