1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: We asked you so much of the last couple of

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: weeks about the you know, the anticipation of your first

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: playoff game, Like, what was the experience like, and do

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: you think that helps you as you now that do

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: you have that experience now it's you're going into another Yeah,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was an amazing experience. Uh. The atmosphere

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: in the stadium was incredible. Uh, you know, their their

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: fans were super loud. Um, everybody had all their family

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: in town and stuff like that. And then uh, not

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: only going to our first uh my first uh playoff game,

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: but winning it. Uh felt incredible. I mean, you know,

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: just seeing everybody smiles and coming together and happy for

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: one another, and then quickly moving on to the next team. Um,

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: and knowing that you know what, what every team's goal is,

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: that the you know, every season is in arms reach

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: of us at this point. Uh, it's super exciting just

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: that even just that one game helps you and the

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: team were broadly just that the novelty of the playoff

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: things over and now it's Yeah, I mean a lot

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: of you know, you hear a lot about before that

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: playoff game that you know a lot of not a

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of players on our team had playoff experience, but

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: we talked to ourselves and amongst each other, and we're like,

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a football game at the end of

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the day, and most of most of us have been

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: playing football since we're eight years old, so you know,

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: we gotta go out there and this treated like a game.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, with that giving with that being said,

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: it's still is a different feeling in the playoff, in

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and now I feel like we have a

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: little bit of that playoff experience and a win under

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: our belt and just a little more fire and attitude

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know going into this next one. What

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: did it feel different during the game? I mean the

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: difference is, you know, a mistake is magnitude. It's magnified,

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, you you need your best players

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: to play their best in a in a situation like that.

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: The you know, you know, it's all on the line,

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: so you know, everything is just, um, you know, at

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: a higher, higher level. You know, like whether you're making

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: a mistake or making a play, it's just at a

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: higher level. And uh, you know, I think we did

43
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: a good enough job of staying together and uh, you know,

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: playing play after play and and uh, you know if

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: if their offense scored on us, you know, we weren't

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: hanging our heads down. We were ready to go out

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: there for the next play. And I think, uh, that

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: type of mentality that we had has to keep going

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: in the next few games. The NFL Films put together

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: a little highlights of Dexter in that game. I mean,

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: there were times looks like he was playing against the

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: high school team or something. Right, do you I mean,

53
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: do you do you sometimes marvel at the way he's

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: able to dominate like that? I do, Actually, I mean

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: game respect game type of thing, you know what I mean.

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: It's just like, uh, some of the stuff I've been

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: able to see him do this year has just been

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: like whoa, Like I've seen d tackles, you know, do

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: a swim move or do a rip move, or do

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: a long arm or do like all these things that

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: like we'll get them free. But I'm like, Okay, I've

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: seen another d tackle do that before, Whereas like he's

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: doing things that I'm just like, I've never seen no

64
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: other d tackle in this era do that, you know

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's like he's one of a

66
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: kind type of player and Uh, like a generational player

67
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Then in that first matchup, you guys

68
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: gave up two hundred fifty plus yards on the ground

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to this team. How much do you put that on

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line shoulders to want to limit that run

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: game this week? I mean, the defensive line always takes, uh,

72
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, the credit for for everything. Um, you know,

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: whether we're not getting enough pressure on the quarterback, whether

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: we're not stopping the run, We're gonna put it on

75
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: our backs in the end of the day. And that

76
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: obviously is not gonna be enough going into this playoff

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: game if we allow them to do that again. Um,

78
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, it takes all of us though, you know,

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: not just to d line the whole front, seven safeties,

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: everybody to stop to run. And uh, you know that's

81
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: our goal this week is trying to make them one

82
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: dimensional and stop to run early as possible. We played

83
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks. You can, we can move. What's

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: the what's the key to dealing with thirds? Um? I

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: mean I think you know, once he becomes a runner,

86
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: just treat him like a running back. I think that's

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: a big thing about Jalen Hurts. He's he's a strong runner. Um.

88
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, he he doesn't run like a quarterback once

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: he's in space, and I don't think you should approach

90
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: him as a quarterback once he is starting to run.

91
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: I think you need to treat him like a running back.

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: Take the right angles, uh, put your body on him

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: and tack ho him strong, um, you know, and and

94
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: try to fluster him when he's back there standing in

95
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: the pocket. Wait. In the first two Eagles games, talks

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: about a certain times you haven't been there yet. What

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: have you observe looking at those the tapes of those

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: games are also What about their long offensive line, specifically

99
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: going against Kelsey? Yeah, I mean I haven't been able

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: to play against him, uh the two times we played

101
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: them this year yet, So I'm I'm looking forward to

102
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: this one. Uh. You know, I feel like their offensive

103
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: line works well together, starting with Kelsey. He's a really

104
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: good uh center. You know a lot of people call

105
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: him like the Tom Brady of centers. He's like, he

106
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: knows protections, he knows he just has feelings for pressure

107
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: and and blitzes and all types of stuff like that.

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: So you know, give him credit where's due. He's a

109
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: good guy. He's a good center, and uh, you know,

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to attack this offensive line given the

111
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: fact that you guys were banged up in that first

112
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: matchup and resting a little bit in the last matchup

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: in week A team, do you feel like that provides

114
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: you guys with a little bit of an advantage because

115
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: they haven't seen your best shot yet. I mean, I

116
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: don't know, you know about advantages or weaknesses or anything

117
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: like that. I do know, Um, you know this is

118
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: we do have a more healthy team this time going around,

119
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm looking forward to you know,

120
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: most of our guys on defense. A lot of our

121
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: guys on defense were banged up the last few times

122
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: we played them, and uh, you know, I'm looking forward

123
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: to playing with a complete team this time around. Um.

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: I just talked to a savior and he said that

125
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna walk in through the tunnel at

126
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the stadium. It's gonna be crazy, But he said, you

127
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: guys are able to kind of tune that out. The

128
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: fans aren't playing you are, and how do you handle

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: that because obviously this is one of the most he

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: could rob the reacent sports. I mean, I guess everybody

131
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: looks at it in a different way. I don't really

132
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: tune it out. I'll just make it my own noise,

133
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like when I hear crowd noise,

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't see it as like that's the opponent's crowd.

135
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm just like it's a crowd chairing at the end

136
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: of the day, whether we're in my own stadium or

137
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: someone else's stadium, it's just crowd noise. And uh, you know,

138
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: I almost channeled it and make it mine, you know

139
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just like when I hear the

140
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: crowd getting fired up, it's like it fires me. Uh

141
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't really care if they're rooting for

142
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the other color or not. I take it as my own.

143
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I actually love that type of environment.

144
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Like the last game we played in against the Vikings,

145
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: they just had an incredible environment, and I love the

146
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: guys appear really new starting practice dancing around And how

147
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: import is that not to make two big a moment

148
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: of it And how much does that come from your

149
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: right I mean, I think that's huge. I think that's

150
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: something that I've very valued in this team. In this

151
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: team is uh, you know, we're serious when we have

152
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: to be obviously, you know, we're taking this seriously, but

153
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: at the same time, I think we have to be

154
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: loose and have fun and remember that it's a game.
