Yeah, 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: it's a hot debate right now. Obviously, I'll I'll blow 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: it up to um. I'm a big mac and cheese fan, 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: so um, that's my opinion. The debate I think with 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: mac and cheese. Obviously mac and cheese is great. Is 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: the debate to me is if it deserves to be 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: on the table on Thanksgiving. It's a great dish, But 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: does it deserve to be on the table Thanksgiving? That's 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: that's I think where the debate is. Um, I don't know. 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm kind of up in the air on it. It's 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: gotta be like fancy, like bread and baked or something. 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: You can't go crack and cheese. Oh yeah, yeah, I 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: mean it's definitely a baked mac and cheese. That's that's 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: the way. That's the route you gotta go. For sure. 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: You can't.

Um, everything's gone pretty 31 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: smoothly so far. So we're about kind of getting the 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: crunch time. So we're excited to kind of start our 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: our family. Thank you. Interesting. Yeah, I know I'm trying 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: to We're trying to take advantage of it, for sure. 35 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: You just talked about the confidence of this team right 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: now being sky. How do you guys feel, I guess 37 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: offensively the last five games and then heading into the 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: study against the best team in the AFC. Yeah, I think. 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: You know, we're continuing to go to work every day. Um. 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of new guys kind of 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: thrown together UM, new guys coming in that have been, 42 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, experiencing this league, and the new guys that 43 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, haven't had much experience. So UM, I think 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: that sometimes can take a while a mesh and come together. 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: And we haven't been in the system either, so you know, 46 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: as the last month or so, I feel like it's 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: all been clicking in a good way. But we got 48 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: to continue to go do that. Um. You know, I 49 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: feel like we have a lot of guys that are 50 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: hungry to prove, you know, have a little chip on 51 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: their shoulder every week. UM. And we enjoy playing with 52 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: each other too. So UM, it's been fun these last 53 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: few weeks, but we got to keep it up. We 54 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: got a big stretch down down the back half here, 55 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm important. Is it like you just said to enjoy 56 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: playing one under I'm not sure if you're good. You know, 57 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: didn't work but you didn't like each other. Yeah, I 58 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever been on a team where 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: we just like didn't like each other. But like, this 60 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: is just something about this team that, um, there's such 61 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: an unselfish attitude. UM, and that's no one really cares 62 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: who makes the play as long as we win. Um. 63 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: And people. I think everybody out there is just trying 64 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: to find a way to execute, to make a play 65 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: so that we can score and when and win win 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: ball games. Like it doesn't you know. I just I 67 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: think that's one of the biggest things that you know, 68 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: I enjoy with a lot of these guys. I mean, 69 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: the ball gets spread around so much, um and you know, 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: so many guys are making plays. That also makes it 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: hard on defenses too. Um So, it's just I think 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: the unselfish attitude is a lot of fun to be around. 73 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: It's not enough made of like few spirit if you will. 74 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds like a hokey college 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: high school type thing, but like can that Can you 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: have that in the pros? Do you have that in 77 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: the pro? Oh? Yeah? That that goes a long way. 78 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: Like I said, when we were new, so we were 79 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: still like the offseason training camp, all those reps and 80 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: time together, like those all pay off, you know, and 81 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: just building that camaraderie you know together um so does 82 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: definitely pay off, just those little things because um you know, 83 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: just having good relationships all the field can kind of 84 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: lead to some trust on the field sometimes. Um And 85 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: so those definitely payoff and it's and it makes like 86 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: coming into work and you know, going and playing out 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: there a lot more fun too. Going back to the 88 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: process to get to this point, not to say that 89 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't a sense of urgency you know 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: is supposing the NFL, but just patients approaching and consistency. 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: How important was that If it was the case to 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: get to this point, it worked through the things that 93 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: you guys needed to fix, needed to address to develop 94 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: the kind of chemistry that Yeah, I think it was 95 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: just um, a consistency of work, putting our head down 96 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: and continuing to go to work every single day and 97 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, just blocking out everything else, um and just 98 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: focusing on the task at hand. UM. And I think 99 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: that's what we've got to continue to do. And you 100 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: know that we have a lot of guys that just 101 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: want to go to work, that are unselfish that like 102 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: I said, like it's just it's a fun girl to 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: be around. And you know, it took some time. We 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: didn't start like we wanted to, but um, we just 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: kept chipping away and that's just what we got to 106 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: continue to do down the stretch and um, continue to 107 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: work hard, um and not get blased on kind of 108 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: the details and the things that we've been doing. The 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: unselfishness on that attitude of consistency's going to buy a 110 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: product of what is around you. The system in plays, 111 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: the people that come into the organization describe it. Yeah, 112 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a mix of all of it. Um. 113 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: I think it starts with the coaches putting us in 114 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: a great position. I think it's a you know, the 115 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: guys in that locker room, the guys in in those 116 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: meeting rooms, the character of the guys um and just 117 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: wanted to win football games. M because I mean this 118 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: ultimate team sport and that's really what we're trying to 119 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: do is just win football games and that however we 120 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: can do it, that's how we're gonna, you know, try 121 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: to find a way. How would you describe where you're 122 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: at chemistry wise with MAC, you know, which is always 123 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: going to keep growing. Yeah, but I think that's the 124 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: weeks go on. It sort of feels like you're looking 125 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: at you in some iCal situations that seem to be 126 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: a result of maybe what you built up. Yeah. I 127 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: mean it's a lot of reps um and you know 128 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: it's I think each rep that we do and each 129 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: play that we make, I mean, there's just more and 130 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: more trust it's going to be there. So um, that's 131 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: only going to continue to build. And not to be 132 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: that guy to ask about another play from the past game, 133 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: but on the on the third down in the end zone, like, 134 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: what did you see on that? It was a zone 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: coverage and I was just trying to get into a 136 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: hole and he I mean, we threw the ball a 137 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: little bit earlier than probably when I broke. Um. So 138 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: just something we'll watch and learn from. And you know, 139 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna be perfect at all times, 140 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: so um, there's something to learn from. What have you 141 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: made of the work of your biggest tight end on 142 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: the team, Michael Winning, Uh, he's a beast man. Um, 143 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to see when he lines up 144 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: next to Trent. It's uh, it's something to see for 145 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: sure with those it with Shack, Trent and Might. Um goodness, 146 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: it's a it's a sight to see. So I feel 147 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: bad for the the guys on the other side. Gotta 148 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: wrap it there, coaches on its way. Let's go all right, guys,
