1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: It's good when you're in last place in the conference.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Is it difficult to stay motivating? Oh? I, men, we

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: get another opportunity this week, and uh, I think everybody's

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: excited for that. So you just block out everything else

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: and focus on the task at hand, which is playing

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: the Commanders this weekend. How much time do you give

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: yourself after the loss to kind of you know, certainly

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: it's not easy for you guys to accomplish yourself. H

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: I think everything is always win or loss. I think

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: you you know, it's almost a kind of twenty four

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: hour mark. Either soak it in or either either way

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours, win or loss. Then you got

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: to move on the other team that the next team

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: doesn't care what happened in the previous week. You gotta

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: be ready to go each week weekend, week out in

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: this league about turning the page from the last game.

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: And you guys had the Bills win. It's sort of

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: like weekends came together. Maybe you didn't carry yours much?

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: What do you? What are you? Why? Where it didn't?

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I you know, I don't know

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: if I can put my finger exactly on it, but

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: I think we just didn't execute in the ways that

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: we did in early on in the Buffalo game. We

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: played good, compromentary football in a way early down in Miami,

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: and we just weren't able to execute in the right way.

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: So I think we need to be obviously a lot better,

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: especially on early downs. We were in too many third

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: and longs, which just makes it hard. I mean, they

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: have a good rush down there in Miami, so that

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: made things, you know, pretty tough on us. So stand

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: ahead of the sticks and trying to make you know,

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: more manageable third down so that we can kind of

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: pick those up Washington. That's one thing that they do

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: really well. I mean, they have a really good front,

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: especially against the run, some big guys up front in

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: the middle, and you know, the linebackers played well off

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: of them, so I mean they get guys in long yards.

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's one thing we really got to

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: do well. I'm sure you guys have an intended to

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: pass longer than twenty yards, and I understand that's a

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: function just quarterback receivers protection to game plans, but you

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: feel defense is playing a little bit more downhill knowing

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: you guys are kind of living the short interview years.

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really pay attention to all the

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, the extra stats like that, But no, I

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that. You know, it's it's hard for me

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: to look at sometimes over you. I'm trying to just

48
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: focus on what I got to do and what I

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: got to execute on you know, a play and playout basis,

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: and I think every guy is trying to do that.

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: So really, I'm just trying to focus on what I

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: got to do. I know, every all eleven guys in

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: the field, we all got to be better at just

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: this specific task at hand on each play. If we

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: can all be eleven just on the same accord, we're

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot better. That's also the solution is

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: to generating more' supposed to play as many as the

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: goal every week. You want those trump plays getting quickly,

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: get it easily, But I could do more that, you know,

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: we're always trying to do that. I think getting the

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: guy getting the ball in space a little bit and

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: trying to you know, allow playmakers to make plays and

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, taking shots when they present themselves. And I

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: think effectively running the football always helps. So if we

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: can you know, effectively run the football good. I think

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: it helps everything else. What the inconsistency in the ground

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: game last week, what would you point to is something

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: that you'd like to improve next week against this Commanders

69
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: from Yeah, I mean, I think we didn't block movement

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: great up front, So that includes all of us and

71
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: just like communication on that movement and so you know

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: every team has kind of done that against us, and

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: we just we got to be better at kind of

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: keeping our eyes up and communicating better. Is it weird

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: to can plan for our front that just traded two

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of their key pieces away. No, I mean it. You

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: know there's the next two guys will be able to

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: be ready to step up. I mean, I think the

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: that's always the thing in this league. He's like you

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: either trade or you lose or someone gets hurt. But

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: you know the next guy's got to step up. And

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: so you know, I know those guys will be fired

83
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: up to be ready to play and play a lot

84
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: of snaps, smile, probably a little bit happy, and that

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to pluck. Those next two guys will

86
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: be ready to go. Like I said, man, you know

87
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: they'll be chopping at the bit to be ready to go.

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: I know that beyond the front. I mean you played

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: against delver of those defenses or early in your careering

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: on different places, different person out. But what do you

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: see when you watch Washington of a bad game? Uh,

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: does it looks like what you saw for those over defense.

93
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: It's a long time ago, it feels like, so it's

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: hard to like sometimes think back to those times. I

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: was so young. You know, when you're young and you're

96
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: just kind of flying around sometimes and uh, just you know,

97
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: trying to keep your head above water a little bit

98
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: when you're young as a rookie especially. But I mean

99
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the guy's been in the league for a long time,

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: do rio, and obviously he's played against a lot of

101
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: different offenses, so he'll present a challenge for us come Sunday.

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: For sure, there's someone like Kendrick, you know, not just

103
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: for what he brings out game day, but also you

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: know the energy that he brings in the locker room. Yeah, man,

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: that that was tough for sure for everybody in that

106
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: locker room. Man. I love Kendrick. I mean we came

107
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: in together three years ago now or whatever, two years ago,

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: whatever it was. He brings a lot of energy, man,

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: and positivity and just a smile and a joy for

110
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: the game, I think in a lot of ways. And so, yeah,

111
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: it was tough to lose a guy like that. And

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: he's a competitor, and you know, I think he'll attack

113
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: the rehab and the process back just you know, with

114
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: the same enthusiasm and energy that he attacks every single

115
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: day in football with. So I wish the best for him.

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of guys in that

117
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: locker room have been through something similar, so we'll kind

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: of all be there for him. Yeah, I mean it's

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: just like I said with you know, their defense. I mean,

120
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: it's guys stepping up. You know, this league is a

121
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: league of opportunity, and there's always a time and place

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: when you're gonna you know, the injuries are gonna happen,

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and guys have to step up. So,

124
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: you know, we have a deep pass like deep receiver

125
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: room and some young guys that are gonna have to

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: step up, and they put a lot of work in

127
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to you know, see him go out

128
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: there and make place. But what was your reaction to

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: see it is a sporting that he had been hired

130
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: for figure out? Yeah, I mean it's Uh, it's always

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: tough to see someone that you worked with, someone that

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: you know you put a lot of work in with

133
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: together a lot you know, I have a lot of

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: respect for Josh and I appreciated my time with them here,

135
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: and so I always feel bad to kind of see that.

136
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: You never want to see that for something that you

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: worked with, and I've put a lot of hours with

138
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: all right,
