I mean it though, 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: it's really impersonal is getting a gift you have no 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: use for and then not having a gift for see, 16 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: and then just having to find a use for something. 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: You're like, what is this?

But when you get a hunt 20 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: of grant, I think that's that's pretty personal. But where's 21 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: that threshold? Grant thirty I mean, anyway you make two 22 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: on a million dollars just from you're Adidas contract alone, 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: it's to be James hard. And as I said, I 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: would love to do that and shower my friends with 25 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: gifts if I were that rich. But uh, Logan, we 26 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: don't have all that much time with you, So let's 27 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: get to the really important stuff, which was that football game. 28 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like, when did you guys realize that 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: you had kind of flustered Russell Wilson, because you know, 30 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: he looked like he was indecisive, he was holding onto 31 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the football a lot, and uh, and that had to 32 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: be really satisfying for you guys. Yeah, I think we 33 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: we realized when when James knocked the ball down at 34 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the very end of the game that the last throw, 35 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: Because just playing rough throughout the years and just knowing 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: about him and everything he stands for and everything he's about, 37 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: he's relentless and um, you can have him figure it 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: out for fifty eight minutes and then he figured you 39 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: out for two and they scored there at the end. 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: And you know, before I got the question today where 41 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: we fatigued, you know, we we we we finished, we 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: finished strong, and uh, and it's never over to the 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: strikes zero against a guy like that quarterback. Yeah, no question. 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: And Wilson, you know holding out to the football was confused. 45 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: You guys had a great game plan, you the players, 46 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: and you and your teammates to the tremendous job of 47 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: executing it. Logan, I'll ask you a simple question, may 48 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: not have a simple What do you think the key 49 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: is what You've been a lot apart a lot of 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: great defensive units Tennessee up in New England playing for 51 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots. Now here with the Giants, year 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: one with Big Blue? What do you think the key 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: to this group's success is? Defensively, belief and uh in selflessness. 54 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, guys, every week the game plan changes. 55 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't know you know what my role is going 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: to be from week to week, but I'm willing and 57 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: I believe in Pat Graham that whatever he draws up, Um, 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my part in it. And you don't 59 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: know who's gonna make the plays. We had a lot 60 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: of guys step up. Nico Lallos again, Darnay Holmes, Harder Coughland. 61 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: Those aren't household names, um obviously. Leonard is obviously James 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: is obviously I am. But it's a total it's a 63 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: total group effort of executing the game plan, believing in it, um, 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: believing in the game pan, believing the coaches, believing we 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: have the players to do it, and believing in yourself, 66 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: having a confidence to go out there in Seattle and 67 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: not flinch, not be afraid of DK Metcalf, not be 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: afraid of Russell West, but not be afraid of the 69 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: West Coast trip. Um, don't care about who picks us 70 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: the win or lose. And then, like I said that, 71 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the selflessness to go out there and whatever you're whatever 72 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: your job might be that day, to to do it 73 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to the best of the ability. And I think that 74 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: was our best execution of a game plan. And I 75 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: think you see that when we get it and we 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: get it right for the most part, Um, that's what 77 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: it can look like. It can fluster a lot of 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: really good players. And I think, uh, Westward, that we 79 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: can put is is we we flustered him? You know, 80 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: he certainly did. And it's a hell of a win. 81 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: And it's a statement when you know, back to your 82 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Logan, you know, I think he's going to 83 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to a head coach in the NFL 84 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: based on the job that he's done this year. Uh, 85 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, the conversations that we've had Maggie and I 86 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: would you and Blake, you know, every other week, and 87 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: the way that this defense has played. You know, for 88 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: those that don't get that, don't know Patrick on that 89 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: kind of level, you know what would you say his 90 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: greatest strengths assets as a as a d C, as 91 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: a coach are here in the NFL um his humility, 92 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: his a billing as, ability to to adapt to his defense, 93 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: ability to grow, and his ability to change. I think 94 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: the NFL is changing. I think, you know, ten years 95 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: ago they said mobile quarterbacks can't play quarterback. Now every 96 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: quarterback is pretty much a mobile quarterback. I think the 97 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: r PO. We talked so much about the evolution of 98 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: offense in college football and the spread offense and what 99 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: it does the NFL and getting the balls with players 100 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: in space and receivers are smaller and faster. Well, defense 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: needs to change too, and Pat's one of those guys 102 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball that's changing defense. 103 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: With the versatility and the multiplicity of our of our 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: units and the amount of players we play, and the 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: amount of dbs we call on the field and amount 106 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: of linebackers that are on the field. It's different packages 107 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: than traditional four three, three or four defense, Like those 108 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: days are dead. And I just think that Pat is 109 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: out working a lot of other coach in this league 110 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: because he's going back to the drawing boards after having 111 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: a great performance and we might run something completely different. 112 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll do stuff similar because Kyler is a 113 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: little bit similar, but he's also a different player, so 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: we gotta do some different defenses against him as well. 115 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: He's not gonna say, oh, I just had this great performance, 116 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: but let me just do that again, that it's gonna 117 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: be completely different. And he's back in his lab right 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: now working on it. I call him, I said, Pat, 119 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: you're like the black Picasso. I'm calling you Picasso because 120 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: you're just throwing paint at the at the you know, 121 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: you're throwing paint at the easel. You're throwing paint at 122 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: the at the board, and it's coming out beautiful, you know. 123 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: So I just I'm really grateful for him. I've played 124 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: with um Hall of Fame coaches and under learned defense 125 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: on their Belichick. I learned defense for Dick Lebo. I 126 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: learned defense from DMPs. So I've been in great defensive 127 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: schemes and defensive minds my entire career and developed the 128 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: mind from those guys in Pat is working his way 129 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: to to to be on their level one day hopefully, 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: and he's definitely working his way to to have a 131 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: beautiful defense that we have. Man, that's that's beautiful. The 132 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Black Picasso. I think that that what a like, what 133 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: an amazing nickname and and and high praise. So the 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: one thing that really impresses me Logan about the defense 135 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: is just you know, you talk about how complicated is 136 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: how it changes week to week if there's so many 137 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: young guys who are being counted on in big roles 138 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: and you expect rookies to kind of struggle, and I 139 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: know it hasn't been perfect and guys get called for 140 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: penalty stuff like that, but how are they How is 141 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: Graham or or you and the other veterans like teaching 142 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: these young guys to be prepared and have such an 143 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: intimate knowledge of the game plan that changes week to Yeah, 144 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: I think that's the that's the thing that is is 145 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: really um impressive to me is how these guys are 146 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: handling it, how we're running it, how guys are calling 147 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: me around the league like, man, how are you guys 148 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: handling all that? We are guys came and handle all that, 149 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, that comes down to the coaching, 150 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: That comes down to the assistant coaches. It's obviously pat 151 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: but we have Brett and Jerome Henderson and guys that 152 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: every day every unit um coach Spence has the D 153 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: line playing amazing. I mean, our our defense runs through 154 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: our defensive lock. We can't we couldn't do what we 155 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: do if Leo and Dalvin and Decks and those guys 156 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: stopped the run the way they stop it with how 157 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: we're doing it, and then it goes through Blake, then 158 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: it goes through James. We couldn't run our defense out 159 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Bradberry out there standing up to the number one receiver 160 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: pretty much every week and holding his own and allows 161 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: us to roll coverage other places and do different things. 162 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: So it it. Honestly, we have really good players, but 163 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: I think the coaches are really doing a great job 164 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: with the damn demanding the details of of the young guys, 165 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: and honestly, the way Joe and we all know it. 166 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: He's hard on his best players. He's not We're not 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: getting no sugar, you know, he's not giving us no 168 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: pass in the back. He's not you know, he's not 169 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: sitting there and letting me not practice, letting me not 170 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: get yelled at. I get held accountable, and I think 171 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that makes everyone else say, dang well, logan to give 172 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you all that, so I might have to be on 173 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: my own and that when I grew up in New 174 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: England system, Tom Brady will get yell that. We all 175 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: know those stories. So he holds everybody accountable. But I 176 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: just think it's also the leader's willingness to be detail oriented, 177 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: to harp on the little things, to be willing to 178 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: be coached. And you have to have players. It's not 179 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: always about having the best players. We have to have 180 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: players that are coachable, that want to become better. And 181 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I think we have players that actually want to be 182 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: better throughout the year and want to get better, not 183 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: just say I was good three years ago, I was 184 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, this is what I do. Don't coach me. 185 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. I don't think we have 186 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: a lot of those egos on you know, in our 187 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: building at all. I want to ask if Nico Laylo's 188 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: because I'm curious what kind of credibility it gives you 189 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: in a locker room where your guy out of Dartmouth. 190 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: When you get the retweet from Lebron James, you know 191 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: Nico's looking right. We say, Nico, whatever you're doing, man, 192 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: you're living right for sure. But you know, we always 193 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: go back to it. I always go back to the 194 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: work ethic. Like Nico was there early, like on practice 195 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: squad every morning. He was there early lifting. He was 196 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: there early. You know, I barely knew his name, and 197 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: he was there early. And he would compete with me, like, hey, logu, 198 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: you come with where you at today and you I 199 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: beat you today. And and we always talk about Daniel Jones, 200 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: but Nico is that third guy there, and he was 201 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: there and and he just showed up in practice and 202 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: he's on like playing offense, you know, tight end, scout team, 203 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: tight end, and you know, I gotta cover room. I'm like, Nico, 204 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: You're never gonna catch the ball on me. Ever, And 205 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: he would be out there every day, never catch the ball. 206 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: He might have caught one, but like he's competing every 207 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: day and then he's on defense. I'm gonna I don't 208 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: even know a position he played. And then he gets 209 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: in the game and he's Johnny on the spot. He's 210 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: where he needs to be, and that just really shows 211 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: you in this league, like you just gotta stay ready. 212 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: You gotta work on your game because you might get 213 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: a call, and when you get that call, you better 214 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: show up to that job opportunity interview ready to go. 215 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: And he shows that he's ready to go. He shows 216 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing, he shows he can be trusted, 217 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: and he shows that he can make some play. So 218 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: all credit to him. I mean, it's a great story. 219 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: And the fact that we're talking about him right now, 220 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: I think is just the beauty of it. I didn't 221 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: know about that. He didn't. I didn't know about that. 222 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: And we go and we go, hey, hey, Nico, like 223 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: you know Lebron and he's like, yeah, yeah, like you, 224 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I know. Bron's like, you don't know Bron 225 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: like that, bro, He's like yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Bron. 226 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: Like are you calling Bron? Now? All right? Relax, you 227 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: know you just got one interception? And then what does 228 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: he do this week? He gets a force slumble, So 229 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta get gotta get off his case 230 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: a little bit recovery logan. You know, you mentioned the 231 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: defense goes through that defensive line. How about big Cat? 232 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: How about Leonard Williams in the year that he's having 233 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: up front? Um, you know, comes back franchise tendered. You 234 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: mentioned how good that your defensive line coach is doing 235 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: those guys up front. But the season that Leonard Williams 236 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: is having up front, I mean, it's he's one of 237 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: the best. I don't know what to tell you, he's 238 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: one of the best. I don't know what his career 239 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: has been to this point. Since I've been here, he's 240 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: been dominant, and he's dominant and our defense can't run 241 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: without him. I'm not the same. It would have to change, 242 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: and they to say, Leo, you're different, like you're just 243 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: you're bigger, you just you're different, Be different, make sure 244 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: you stand out out there. You're a different dude. Obviously 245 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: a top draft pick for a reason. So he's different. 246 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: But I mean, the whole defensive line, I'm telling you, man, 247 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: it's a special group. Dalvin is having a really tremendous 248 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: year for interior d Lineman Um dex is coming along. 249 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you lost some edge rushers there, and you 250 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: still have guys coming in and making plays. That comes 251 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: down to the coaching outside linebacker coach and Brent, the 252 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: d line coach, coach Spence, and those guys have a 253 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: brotherhood that is special to see how they all are 254 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: happy for each other's success. So Leo is different. He's 255 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: winning his blocks like he should and he is and 256 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: we need him to be. But a lot of it 257 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: they're they're they're doing things that help Leo get free, 258 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: and he's picking for other guys and they're picking for him, 259 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: and he has a great ability to finish on that quarterback. So, 260 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: like I said, we can't we can't run the defense 261 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: we run without those guys up front and whoever is 262 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: in there, they're all playing at a high level. Logan, 263 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: Ryan is, our guests got you for a couple more minutes, 264 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: and we always appreciate your time. Logan, We know you're busy. 265 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: You know you mentioned it before about Kyler Murray and 266 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: there are some similarities right between he and Russell Wilson 267 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: and maybe some similarities with their team where they have 268 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: a dynamic wide receiver in DeAndre Hopkins, but he's not 269 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: all that they have. You know, just your thoughts about 270 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: that matchup and sort of how you guys are going 271 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: to approachec because as you said, it's not going to 272 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: be a carbon copy of what we saw in Seattle. Yeah, 273 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: well let's get it. You know, Kyler Murray is the 274 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: fastest quarterback we have played to this point. I mean 275 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: mostly with Lamar Jackson, and he is. He's faster than 276 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, um is. So that's gonna be that's gonna 277 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: pose a threat. And obviously he's a very talented player. 278 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: He's a little bit younger, maybe not his experience, but um, 279 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: they're they're very very explosive offense. And that ability to 280 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: put up points, put up points quickly if you don't 281 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: do a good job and have great discipline. Honestly, last 282 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: game was a lot about our discipline and be able 283 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: to stay disciplined throughout the game. Um, and that our 284 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: discipline is gonna have to continue. That's just that has 285 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: to be a mindset from game to game. Just because 286 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: you're disciplined last week doesn't mean you're just going to 287 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: be disciplined this game. So that's just something that we 288 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: gotta continue to do. UM. And let's get this straight. 289 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is the best receiver we have will play 290 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: to this point, so he's better than DK Metcalp. I 291 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: don't think it's close. So that's another challenge there. I 292 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: played against Hopkins for many years. I've studied hours of 293 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 1: tape on him. He's very good, very competitive, plays every play. 294 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: And Larry Fitzgerald is a walking legend as well. So 295 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: they have some talented, great, great talent on that team. 296 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: UM gott to dive into the more, obviously, but it's 297 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: going to take another work of a long week of 298 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: preparation to feel confident to go out there and win 299 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: the game. And that just comes through UM, how much 300 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, work we decided to put in this week. 301 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: You know, Logan to use the word discipline a couple 302 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: of times. I just want to go back to that 303 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Seattle game for a second. Is it difficult? I mean 304 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: how much going into a game where you know Colt 305 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: is starting at quarterback, there's no Daniel Jones, and you 306 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: need guys to step up and perform, but you also 307 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: need guys to maintain and and be disciplined within the defense, 308 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: within the offense, and not not get too overaggressive. How 309 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: difficult was that sticking to that knowing you know you're 310 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna be limited offensively with cold a quarterback. Is compared 311 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: to where you were as an offense with Daniel Jones, Well, 312 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: when you rush, when you run the ball for you know, 313 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards against the loaded box, I mean, 314 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: that's just that's great offense. Regarless who's that quarterback. So 315 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: but I told you guys last week, it doesn't matter 316 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: who's on offense, and honestly doesn't matter, not that I 317 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: don't care what the offense does, but I control what 318 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: I can control, which is a defensive side of things. 319 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: I talk about what I know about, which is the 320 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: defensive side of things. So we're always trying to go 321 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: out there and put up great performances like that one, 322 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: and it could have been even better. I think with 323 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: me personally, what I would say that was the biggest 324 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: thing with me last week was when he would scramble, 325 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: I would I've made sure I did the best I 326 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: could to disguise and kind of confused ross pre snap, 327 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: disguise and kind of and run around kind of during 328 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: the snap and get really deep. I watched a lot 329 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: of at red tape, and I wanted a line really 330 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: deep to to discourage Okay, we're not gonna throw it 331 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: deep on this play and make can be patient and 332 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: stay disciplined. And there's times all over that game. I'm 333 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: a guy that's a heavy ball. Guy like to get 334 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: the ball, punched the ball, and knock the ball out PEPs. 335 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: I love all those stats, but I think I had 336 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: three tackles that game, and I was probably not even 337 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: on the screen because I had to stay discipline. I 338 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: had to have to keep the integrity the defense to 339 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: prevent me and Julian love, prevent the deep shots, prevent 340 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: the big explosive locket plays, the big explosive Metcalf plays 341 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: too many teams I think get too aggressive and he 342 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: runs around and makes her. Uh. We talked about how 343 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: he's the best deep ball throwing football. Well, we gotta 344 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: take away that deep ball with our alignment, with our disguise, 345 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: and how we kind of put a spiderweb around their 346 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: whole offense. Our pass for us put a spiderweb around him, 347 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: and I took discipline and our kind of our secondary 348 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: put a spiderweb and trying to contain everything they did 349 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: and they can get a little boring at times for me, 350 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: a guy like me, But I felt like it was 351 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: the best interest of the team, and what other teams 352 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: asked me to do, I'm gonna do whole hardly because 353 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: I know that's going to help us win. So that's 354 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: kind of that discipline. That aggressiveness was definitely something I 355 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: was feeling all the game of Man, I want to 356 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: go get me a ball, but at the same time, 357 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: I got to make sure I protect everybody. I want 358 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 1: to get this win more importantly, you know, And and 359 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: it was a big win, Logan, what does that You've 360 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: been a part of great runs with other teams, you know, 361 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: that type of win on the road in Seattle, you know, 362 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: going in it as a decided underdog. What does that 363 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: win do for that room? For this group? I mean, 364 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: every every game is a learning experience that the losses 365 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: obviously didn't be rail is too bad because we kept 366 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: believing ourselves. And I think the winds can build belief. 367 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I think you learned from both of them. You don't 368 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: get too high after this one. And look, this isn't 369 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: college football where we just beat the number one team 370 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: in the nation. Now we go to number seven and 371 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what that. You know, this wind counts 372 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: as one win, and the end of the day, it's 373 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: a great win. We executed well. We didn't have too 374 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: many um self conflicting wounds, we don't have too many penalties. 375 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: We kind of execute our game plan and that's encouraging 376 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: and that's good. And the young guys had success. That's 377 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: encouraging for their careers. That's big. We need that, but 378 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: we needed every week. So this is just only counts 379 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: as one. Doesn't count of three, doesn't kind of spot wins. 380 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: It counts as one win. And that's how we're worried about. 381 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: So honestly, we need to learn from it. But you 382 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: know the tough part about doing this show on Tuesdays, 383 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to move on. So when we're down this show, 384 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: I'll probably move on. I like to move on from 385 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: the game and go to the next one. So we 386 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: got I said, I tell the guys that counts is 387 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: one win. I'm proud of them, but we gotta we 388 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: gotta lock it back in and we gotta get ready 389 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: to go on the next win. And you know when 390 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: I say, I go in there and I believe I 391 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: can win every game I play. I truly believe that 392 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: because I put a lot of work in, and we're 393 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: gonna put a lot of work in to beat the Cardinals, 394 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: and I think I hope that well by Saturday night, 395 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: we feel like we can beat them because our hard 396 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: work all week. Logan, we've kept you a long time. 397 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: I just have one last one for you, and it's 398 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: it's just drawing on your experience. Going back to the Patriots. 399 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: You guys started the season ten and oh. The Steelers 400 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: yesterday got to eleven and oh before they lose for 401 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: the first time. So looking back on that season, knowing 402 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: what it's like, what are the Steelers feeling this morning? Uh, 403 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: you're just taken. How you're just taken? How it is? 404 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: I mean like I don't know what they're feeling. You're 405 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: just taking how how it comes. I know that year 406 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: we were tenant, oh, we were rolling through teams and 407 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: then um, we lost a couple of guys in injury. 408 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: Edelman got hurt on injury, Rock got her on injury. 409 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: And we've been ash the season two and four. So 410 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: we're twelve and four and we have a two seed 411 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: and not the one seed in New England. That was 412 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: that meant everything. I don't know if the mentality of 413 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: having the one seed and having home field throughout was 414 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: different than having to travel up there. Um. So it 415 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: just kind of like we didn't finish strong. I don't 416 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: think our confidence was that there was at the same 417 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: spot it was early in the year, because we let 418 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: that one loss kind of turn into more and um, 419 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, and and we just didn't we didn't feel 420 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: like the same confident, you know, team that we were 421 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the year, and we ended up losing then 422 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: FC Championship and neither here nor there obviously, So that's 423 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: why it's so important to continue to get better throughout 424 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: the year. And obviously everybody wants to win every game. 425 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: You want to start off Tennanto and but you want 426 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: to make sure you're you're making strates you're getting so 427 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers, it could just be in one game way 428 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: whatever bumping the road or it can it can derail them. 429 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't really know. It's just it's just kind of 430 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: how how years go. And you know, I have a 431 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: supreme confidence in our team because it's how we're just 432 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: staying together through wins and losses. I just don't think 433 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: one game. I don't think this Seahawks game is gonna 434 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: get us off our mission. Um, like, oh wow, now 435 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: we believe we're good. Now, we believe we were good 436 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: going into the game. That's only won the game when 437 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: no one else believed in Nobody picked us to win 438 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: that game in the whole world. So I don't want 439 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: to hear it now when they believe in us now 440 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: or or they can. I hope they do, but it 441 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: doesn't it's not gonna it's not gonna change how we 442 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: feel about ourselves. And I just honestly just think it's 443 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: it's about the minds of the team and logan. We 444 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: appreciate the time this morning, uh, good luck and getting 445 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: prepared for Arizona and good luck this upcoming week. All right, 446 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks for having me
