1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: So I feel to actually prepare for a game this week,

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: where last week you kind of looked on yourself as

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: we can kind up upon it and know what you

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: have to do. Well. I think it's huge. It feels

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: great knowing that you got a game coming up. I'm

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: it's excitful when you look at what you're in. Casey,

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: what kind of close on the defensive side. Um, I mean,

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: you know they're great players. Obviously, they've been playing at

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: a high level all year long. UM, you know, it's

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: not necessarily what they're doing. We just gottam focus on

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: little details and um, you know, focus on them as

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: best as we can and from there just play our game.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: We're expecting to see what expecting to feel that first

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: playoff game. Ago, Uh, it's a football game. UM. You know,

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: I can't overthink it, can't make it bigger than what

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: it is. Um, you know, it's just blacking them an

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and play. When you piss

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: a defense that plis as much as they like to.

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: If you have to kind of be more cognizant that

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball could be coming your way faster, that's something

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: you guys kind of go for a threatening I don't

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: necessarily think thinking like that. We just if everyone do

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: their job the best that they can and we can't. Um,

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's about us, like I said, playing our game.

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: You can't necessarily think you got to get the ball

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: off fast or run cooker ross where to make the case.

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: Maybe it was the focus pretty much like every week,

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: about execution and kind of just making sure that you

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: guys do what you do best, absolutely doing your job,

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: focusing on that, honing in on what your assignment is

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: and going out there and practice executing it. So to

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: bring that to the game. Drennon Bill set before that

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: the Titans third team that kind of played two playoff games,

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: one to get in and that's last week cut dangerous

35
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: is a team with that kind of experience. I think

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, the team like that is very dangerous.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: So just because they have been on that, you know

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: that that role. Uh, you know, one loss, we're out

39
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and they executed two in a role. Um, so you know,

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: you look at a team like that that's playing at

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a high level and bringing out close games, you know,

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: So that's what the dangerous saying righting to speen your

43
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: first postseason games, just feeling different than the normal week. Nope,

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: you've got to say the same. Continue to you know,

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: do my routine when I've been doing all year, and

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: focus on getting better every day. That's what's all about.

47
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: How would you describe your level of exciting front? Like

48
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I said, just bless with another opportunity to play a game.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: So kind of advice have you been getting pro teammates

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: about playoff intensity? Um? You know, to not make it

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: bigger than what it is. UM, not believing all the

52
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: other hype. Um, you mean, the only thing is it's

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: just now you're on a one game season. That's the

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: only difference other than that, it's football. It's a quick

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: play about a press coverage. Yeah, it's the key to

56
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: beating Um, your technique fundamentals, going back to the basically

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: when it comes to things like that. Um, and then

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: not try to overdo it and just play the play

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: your game. Friend, have you seen a difference in how

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots deal with potential distractions than maybe in New

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Orleans or in college before. I can't answer that. That's

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: not being who I am and listening to coach necessarily

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: compare college and what it was like in the ones

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm far away from that, so I don't remember what

65
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: it was like at those places. Why do you think

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots are so good at blocking out the distractions

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: if you could go over the years, I think because

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: the guys listening. Um, you know, coach has been doing

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: this for a while and he knows what the potential

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: distraction can be. I think he does a great job

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: on letting us know what they are, and as players

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: we listen to him and being coachable and tuning out

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the North
