Speaker 1: They'll have to play a lot of man today because
Speaker 1: who do I have. I mean, yeah, I mean, at
Speaker 1: the end of the days, this game is really it's
Speaker 1: it's not it's not that complicated. I got the guy
Speaker 1: in front of me, you know, we got the kid
Speaker 1: he the catches of the don't or you gotta ask
Speaker 1: to block me or I win. Those things are happening
Speaker 1: all over the field, and it's it's about you know,
Speaker 1: how many guys on your squad are winning their matchups
Speaker 1: um on any given down. And so you know, it's
Speaker 1: been fun to watch these guys, to be honest, to
Speaker 1: watch them get kind of thrown into the fire, watch
Speaker 1: them compete, watch them you know, have to deal with
Speaker 1: adversity and then fight through it um because quite frankly,
Speaker 1: our season is wrestling on everybody's shoulder, you know, and
Speaker 1: so we'll continue to prepare these guys. But it's fun
Speaker 1: and definitely I'm you know, probably be a part of
Speaker 1: the scary fun. No, I mean, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's a game. It's all still football,
Speaker 1: you know. It's from same rules, same ball, same everything,
Speaker 1: from Pop Warner to the league. So we're not gonna
Speaker 1: make this thing overly complicated. But um, you know, so
Speaker 1: when you block out the crowd, our record, what's pending,
Speaker 1: it's all the same game. And I think you know,
Speaker 1: coming these guys down, allowing them to play, giving an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be successful is the responsibility that not only
Speaker 1: I take, but everyone in leadership position does. We knew
Speaker 1: we had to give up. We pretty much one on
Speaker 1: one outside of manorlane. Plus were sifting inside out and
Speaker 1: we knew we had the backers drop. We was one
Speaker 1: on one with the ends now, so we had to
Speaker 1: just hold them off, give cars some time, some time,
Speaker 1: and it was fourth down. We don't get that pretty much.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's the other way. Uh. Nelson felt
Speaker 1: that a statement players, that a kind of a statement
Speaker 1: player of your offensive. I think it's the second time
Speaker 1: you ran it today, and it's very precisely, very effective.
Speaker 1: Of course, Well it's a play we ran in the
Speaker 1: first quarter, second quarter, and uh like like Nel and said,
Speaker 1: it's a stable play. We executed it. Doug believe in
Speaker 1: us and we we we blocked it up. Well, deir
Speaker 1: Plitts didn't seem very effective in the second half. What changed?
Speaker 1: We made some adjustments made some adjustments. Uh, their guy
Speaker 1: beat a couple of our guys earlier on in the
Speaker 1: first hand. Uh really wasn't that they was doing that
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen. We know those guys. Uh, we watched
Speaker 1: the most time. We play them twice a year every year,
Speaker 1: and we just made some adjustments. Second half, that bigger
Speaker 1: deal was different person wins to lead a full supporting
Speaker 1: to come back and coming up to worfesional professional. We
Speaker 1: needed it. We needed that as long as number eleven balling,
Speaker 1: we balling, So we gotta we gotta keep the defense
Speaker 1: off of him and letting ball. How much of the
Speaker 1: success in the running game was just sticking with it,
Speaker 1: and then we'll continue to run in the entire game. Uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, Doug just believe in us. We worked hard
Speaker 1: during the week. Uh, coach stout putting in the running game,
Speaker 1: and he believed in us. We kept executing. He kept calling.
Speaker 1: So when you're executing it, he gonna keep calling. The
Speaker 1: momentum you guys get us going. Man, we've been losing
Speaker 1: here at home and in the link. We definitely needed
Speaker 1: this win for us. The fans get behind us rally
Speaker 1: and make a push. Crazy to think that you're still
Speaker 1: that's it. We're not thinking about that. We want to
Speaker 1: know right now. Uh, we got rest guns Monday night.
Speaker 1: Try to get two and o and go from there.
Speaker 1: Just take it a week at a time. How much
Speaker 1: do you guys like yourselves on being able to run
Speaker 1: the football the way today? I think the fans have
Speaker 1: been looking you guys run more, man. I mean it
Speaker 1: felt good, you know, Like I said, Doug believed in us.
Speaker 1: We put in the emphasis this week running the ball,
Speaker 1: being visible, and we came out. I think Josh had
Speaker 1: like twenty some carries. Uh, we got it done to that.
Speaker 1: On the ground. Did you sense that you were wearing
Speaker 1: them down as the game went on, especially in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarters. Yeah, of course that guys are subbing out.
Speaker 1: Guys is laying on the ground. We just I just
Speaker 1: kept telling Lane and Brooks and Kelsey, keep pushing, keep pushing.
Speaker 1: We got them. Is that the most of slow you
Speaker 1: guys have show this year's no line? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: what I mean it felt good to lean on them
Speaker 1: instead of set back and let them, you know, coming us. So,
Speaker 1: I mean it felt good. Appreciate Doug by, you know,
Speaker 1: believing in us and and sticking with the run, and
Speaker 1: I mean we do that. We have Carson out too
Speaker 1: with the play action in the neck. It so as
Speaker 1: long as we can run the ball and and and
Speaker 1: get yards the rock, the pass game gonna gonna get
Speaker 1: going too. And it wasn't as a dramatic as the
Speaker 1: sixty one yard that you hit, but it will serve
Speaker 1: the purpose, right, Yeah, no doubt. You know, go ahead,
Speaker 1: glad we have the opportunity, the offensive hyper job getting
Speaker 1: us down there, and luck we put it through and
Speaker 1: got a big win for us. Doug calls the time
Speaker 1: out and we're just only three kickers. Mind at that
Speaker 1: point when he calls that time out, I'm just kind
Speaker 1: of zoned to n them over by the kicking nut. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to hit hit one or two more
Speaker 1: balls to make rself feel comfortable, get a feel for
Speaker 1: what the wind's doing, and you know, trying to make
Speaker 1: a good kick kick. You guys need a win in
Speaker 1: the worst way. So I mean, what do you think
Speaker 1: I'm going to see that thing go with the rank? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely a big one one, that one
Speaker 1: that we needed, um, you know, in us since right now,
Speaker 1: this is just kind of the message this is this
Speaker 1: is the start of our season. Um, with where the
Speaker 1: divisions at right now. UM, definitely needed that one and
Speaker 1: hopefully we can we can build on it. Any any
Speaker 1: of your teammates say anything to you as you were
Speaker 1: walking out to build there that final kick, No, I
Speaker 1: think they know not to talk to him before them.
Speaker 1: Jake Q you kick the sixty one yearder to win
Speaker 1: your last year. That enter hit at all when you
Speaker 1: went out there to kick. You know what you did
Speaker 1: last year wins yea. UM, earlier on the drive, it
Speaker 1: kind of entered my head. Just kind of a coincidence
Speaker 1: that we're going the exact same way. But Um, other
Speaker 1: than that, not a whole lot. No, you were on
Speaker 1: that on that drive, weren't around the wall watch for
Speaker 1: six times? Oh so man, Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: it says a lot about team. You know, you get
Speaker 1: brought against the wall, so we don't have any more excuses.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's Stewart died in the same way. But
Speaker 1: next week, UM, I guess the rest of him, So
Speaker 1: he's next two weeks. I mean, we will be pivotal
Speaker 1: in our season. When you were walking into the locker
Speaker 1: room year you put up your hands in prayer. I mean,
Speaker 1: is that what this wind felt like? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: I was telling him it was our seasons on the line,
Speaker 1: so we can talk about doing this. Doing that starts fast.
Speaker 1: I mean if we don't win this one, um, when
Speaker 1: we talked about it a long time the off season,
Speaker 1: so that's really it. I was telling them we were
Speaker 1: more balanced. That helped their offensive attack, and it felt
Speaker 1: good to run the ball so and do it effectively
Speaker 1: so we can keep it going, get some discomented guys
Speaker 1: healed up and try to create some momentum. Does it
Speaker 1: feel like new life? Because here you are now the game,
Speaker 1: out of first place amazingly and facing a team that's
Speaker 1: come there. It's like one of those dying fish down
Speaker 1: the bank and you walk walked by them a couple
Speaker 1: of hours later, and they still got a couple of
Speaker 1: gulps left long soots that's where we're at. See, you
Speaker 1: were the dying fish, so you're not dying, not dying.
Speaker 1: We're we're find his new life. So it's it's just
Speaker 1: good force. What a um the ball. Here's an running
Speaker 1: ball that's gonna be gratifying. I think fans didn speeding
Speaker 1: and run the ball on the ball, you guys as
Speaker 1: a line the same way. Yeah, I mean that was
Speaker 1: our emphasis this week and we would try to get
Speaker 1: it going. What's just gonna have been you know week one,
Speaker 1: week two it had been been nice, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like we were balanced, We're able to impose our
Speaker 1: will and uh that was it. I was just probably
Speaker 1: where old line kind of came together and and uh
Speaker 1: I was happy. Uh. You know, DBS, they faced a
Speaker 1: tough challenge this week. You know, we have a whole
Speaker 1: lot of guys injured going against Odell Beckham, some of
Speaker 1: the best guys in the league, and I playing really well.
Speaker 1: So you know, a lot of young guys stepped up.
Speaker 1: So sypher war Wrap, can we talk about that young guys. Gosh,
Speaker 1: Adams continues to see his role in Creaston. He's been
Speaker 1: doing very well with those opportunities. What have you seen
Speaker 1: from him? I was telling me, man, he's a he's
Speaker 1: a silent killer man. He don't he don't say a
Speaker 1: whole lot um. You know, he's getting his knee healthy
Speaker 1: from college. You can see that Bercy has yet has
Speaker 1: incredible speed, just a very smart player too. You know,
Speaker 1: he don't say a whole lot. But it goes out
Speaker 1: there and gets the job done and and soly just
Speaker 1: just having a good year. How big was the interception?
Speaker 1: That was good? How did boost your offense forgetting Yeah,
Speaker 1: we knew we were getting the ball back next half
Speaker 1: and um, you know, if we could stop them, they
Speaker 1: just know, no decreases the lead that much. So well,
Speaker 1: if we can every and then get everybody in tune
Speaker 1: on one play. No, Malcolm did a great job of
Speaker 1: snacking it out the air. And as the captainee is, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Milchoel's always making plays like that. How much
Speaker 1: much different? Um? Definitely different. Um, I think we're doing
Speaker 1: a lot more. Uh, they're leading more towards the running.
Speaker 1: I like it. And uh no four runn back committee.
Speaker 1: Who wants a lot of touches. I think today was
Speaker 1: a great day to display how we can distribute carries
Speaker 1: and making sure everybody stays and uh no, no perfect
Speaker 1: condition when the game comes down to a line like
Speaker 1: this and bunce. Yeah, definitely. I mean now a lot
Speaker 1: of people can see that. You know, in order to
Speaker 1: be an explosive offense, you have to be balanced, and
Speaker 1: you can't just the key. Can't just key on one
Speaker 1: dimension to you know, win you a game. It may
Speaker 1: work sometimes but not all the time. You know, just
Speaker 1: to play it in the right half. Uh. You know
Speaker 1: we've we've played that kind of defense in Spurst this year,
Speaker 1: but we did it at the right time in this game. Um.
Speaker 1: And if we can do that for four quarters, you know, um,
Speaker 1: we're tough to be. So it's what we expect. You know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't use the word thrilled just because you know,
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, we are five and six
Speaker 1: and we've got a long way to go, so we
Speaker 1: need more of that we're given. You are five and
Speaker 1: six D anything else, Yeah, I mean that's I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all you can ask for is playing my own
Speaker 1: division a game out. Uh, we're focused on one game
Speaker 1: at a time. I mean, that's that's what we should
Speaker 1: be anyways. But now it's clearer than ever that you
Speaker 1: need to focus all your attention on on the next Sunday.
Speaker 1: The young cornerbacks the form you know, yeah, they fought.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they fought. These are guys that
Speaker 1: you can't say enough about them, You can't say enough
Speaker 1: about their coaches. You know, these are guys that people
Speaker 1: haven't heard of outside our locker room. And uh, and
Speaker 1: they're good ball players. Otherwise it wouldn't be in the league.
Speaker 1: But you know, experience makes a big difference. And you know,
Speaker 1: those guys are playing some scout team during the week,
Speaker 1: they're playing scout team turn around, taking team reps. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. Uh. And those guys went
Speaker 1: out and and did enough to win and uh and
Speaker 1: fought really hard. So congrats to them. They had a
Speaker 1: big part of those christ I'm sorry you've probably been
Speaker 1: journey getting back into the middle of that line where
Speaker 1: Giants have liked to pound runs inside and it's not
Speaker 1: as easy with Journon and Cocks standing there's two children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it helps, Um, it helps. You know, as a defense,
Speaker 1: we need to play better against the run and Timmy
Speaker 1: will be a key there. And uh, you know, more
Speaker 1: than anything, Timmy's just a great teammate and a good
Speaker 1: buddy of ours. So you know, seeing somebody go through
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, that long road, it uh it
Speaker 1: makes you happy for him to get back, so as
Speaker 1: an individual and as a teammate and for the team.
Speaker 1: The interception at the end of the first half, i'mment
Speaker 1: to that fuels because you came out and you held him.
Speaker 1: The three points from the in the second half, it
Speaker 1: was big. I mean, you know those are the turnovers
Speaker 1: we hadn't been getting. Uh, you know, Fletch was doing
Speaker 1: a great job getting pressure all the first half. We
Speaker 1: were getting pressure and eventually, you know, he threw one
Speaker 1: up in malk You know, the way he always is
Speaker 1: is ready to make a play. And uh, you know
Speaker 1: Malxie key member of this defense and and and snow coinstance.
Speaker 1: He got to turn over the kind of spring and
Speaker 1: sprung us and that's uh, that's the difference in the
Speaker 1: game as a turnover. Some of the guys said that
Speaker 1: this season begins today, will be really you know, now
Speaker 1: it comes to me kind of chase the playoff. I
Speaker 1: know you anybody's gonna say one game man time, but
Speaker 1: you get you have a sense that now that that
Speaker 1: this is where the chase begins and whatnot. Well, I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope the season didn't really start today
Speaker 1: for anybody. I mean, I know there's different ways to
Speaker 1: think about it, and guys got different ways to think
Speaker 1: about it, and fans have different ways to think about it.
Speaker 1: We should just show up every Sunday and try to
Speaker 1: win one game. And uh, I know that's cliche, but
Speaker 1: if we really don't have any other choice and thinking
Speaker 1: about the big picture on when he takes away from execution.
Speaker 1: So for us the picture small, um see little and
Speaker 1: get after it. Like you for getting yourself type up?
Speaker 1: What did you say to yourself to kind of getting
Speaker 1: that's that's me every game, Like that's that's just what
Speaker 1: I do. That's who I am. That's that's how I
Speaker 1: get myself mentally, mentally ready to play football. You know,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a sport. This is a
Speaker 1: gladiator sport. You know what I mean. You can't you
Speaker 1: can't come out there and expect for things to go
Speaker 1: easy for you. It's gonna be hard. You got to fight.
Speaker 1: It's a fight. Every player has a fight on it.
Speaker 1: You guys were able to kind of turn around and
Speaker 1: shut down sake of the second half, Right, How good
Speaker 1: did that feel? Want you kind of get your footing back? Oh,
Speaker 1: we just had to play, you know, we just had
Speaker 1: to play as a whole man all eleven, you know,
Speaker 1: just the little things making sure you know, everybody getting
Speaker 1: to the ball with a guy like sake Coin he's
Speaker 1: never down. Finish him. You got to finish him, you know,
Speaker 1: because the second you don't there he goes. He's out
Speaker 1: to feel for forty yards. So be special the angle
Speaker 1: field right now. Man, I feel good, Man, I feel
Speaker 1: so good just to run out that tunnel, see our fans,
Speaker 1: be back out there with my brothers. You know, just
Speaker 1: just put you put that working throughout the weekend. It
Speaker 1: just feel good to be rewarded with him, you know,
Speaker 1: mping up and down with the defensive lineman there could
Speaker 1: you bring? Oh? You know, I like to believe that
Speaker 1: those guys already kind of you know, they they they
Speaker 1: they already kind of energetic and things like that before
Speaker 1: I was even out there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Though they are self driven guys. But I just feel
Speaker 1: like I add fuel to the fire a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's all it is. So
Speaker 1: I'm just glad to be back beside those guys today. Um,
Speaker 1: I thought we played good enough to win. Obviously, that's
Speaker 1: the that's the most important thing each and every week.
Speaker 1: Um didn't start fast, obviously you're down a halftime, but
Speaker 1: found a way to win, and right now, that's all
Speaker 1: that matters. Obviously facing a lot of adversity from an
Speaker 1: entire team standpoint. Um, But at the same time, they
Speaker 1: don't care about that when we're on the field. So
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good team win. All three
Speaker 1: phases made plays and it was we needed it would
Speaker 1: feel like it's been a while, Yeah, and literally it was. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, that wasn't an easy game by any means, obviously, Um,
Speaker 1: we needed it. Like you said, Um, if we were
Speaker 1: to lose that game this season, the playoffs pretty much
Speaker 1: would have been out of question at that point. Um,
Speaker 1: So we needed this game and the guy spot. I mean,
Speaker 1: it wasn't wasn't pretty by any means, But NFC East
Speaker 1: games are never gonna be pretty. Um, there's no NFC
Speaker 1: East win. I don't think I've ever been a part
Speaker 1: of where I'm like, man, that's a really good win. Um,
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you have to
Speaker 1: find a way to win and felt good at get
Speaker 1: back into the link and win a football game. Peter
Speaker 1: Zi fella, you guys are wearing them down with the
Speaker 1: way you're able to effectively run the ball, especially at
Speaker 1: the end there. Did you kind of get that sense
Speaker 1: too when he wouldn't Yeah. I mean I thought Josh
Speaker 1: played really, really really well today. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know if anyone expected that out of him. Um, but
Speaker 1: it was definitely something that we needed to really spark
Speaker 1: in the running game. UM. I thought Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: those two were rolling guys off the ball like they
Speaker 1: always do. Um, I'm not gonna not give support to
Speaker 1: my guy, so I'm definitely gonna agree with whatever he says. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was on the back side. Uh, technically it
Speaker 1: was own coverage, so I'm I'm one of the primary guys. UM.
Speaker 1: I had like a corner stop route, corner return route. Um.
Speaker 1: The guy kind of tried to undercut, so I had
Speaker 1: to come back to the ball, shook him off, and
Speaker 1: saw I was at like the six yard line, and
Speaker 1: at that point, the goal line is right there. So
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna do whatever it took to
Speaker 1: get in there. UM. Knew we needed to play at
Speaker 1: that point. UM, So I did everything I could have
Speaker 1: gat an end zone. I don't know what the final
Speaker 1: number was on targets and catches, but obviously it was
Speaker 1: more than last week. Yeah. Happy to be more involved
Speaker 1: in the offense for sure. I mean I love being
Speaker 1: the guy that they continually go to. Last week was
Speaker 1: not our offensive display in any aspect. No one looked
Speaker 1: at that film last week and was proud of whatever
Speaker 1: it took place. I don't even want to acknowledge it
Speaker 1: ever again, but yeah, the targets and the catches, they
Speaker 1: felt like, I mean, to start the game early with
Speaker 1: the catch helps helps your mindset the rest of the game. Um,
Speaker 1: good to have the first one under your belt early.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I thought the efficiency I think was there.
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact catches targets, like you said,
Speaker 1: but the most important thing is efficiency to make you
Speaker 1: acknowledge it again, how important was it for Carson coming
Speaker 1: off of that game, which probably once a yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was huge. I mean I think people have been
Speaker 1: kind of clamoring for that. I want to see him
Speaker 1: do it in the clutch, and I mean, we have
Speaker 1: all the faith in the world in him. He continually
Speaker 1: puts us on the back, um all the time. He
Speaker 1: plays at a high level, even at times when the
Speaker 1: protection isn't great. He's out there making plays and he's
Speaker 1: he's the guy I want to play. Within the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: He's the guy I want to play within the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and UM, I was happy for this entire team to
Speaker 1: get a win because, like you said, we needed it,
Speaker 1: UM in the whole season. Still in front of us
Speaker 1: right now back down. Nineteen to three seemed like kind
Speaker 1: of a defining moment in this game, but maybe even
Speaker 1: for the season if it plays album. What happened for
Speaker 1: you guys as an offense on the sideline or here
Speaker 1: in the locker room, that really kind of changed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just uh never gave up. UM. Obviously, we had
Speaker 1: opening touchdown called back which was tough. UM. Had had
Speaker 1: another penalty OPI third down that was tough. UM. So
Speaker 1: we were moving the ball in the first quarter. We
Speaker 1: were kind of killing ourselves, UM, and we just really said, I,
Speaker 1: let's stop beating ourselves. Let's get out of our own way,
Speaker 1: uh and go make plays. And guys did that from
Speaker 1: that point on. Obviously, nineteen to three not the way
Speaker 1: you want to start the game, but it's how you finish. Obviously. UM,
Speaker 1: we're kind of in our division games. UH, so you know,
Speaker 1: each and every detail is important and we need to
Speaker 1: work on those details, you know, starting the first day
Speaker 1: of practice so that when we get to game day,
Speaker 1: it'll be all good, all gravy. So, um, we just
Speaker 1: gotta stay patient, stay true to what we're doing, and
Speaker 1: continue to trusting each other. Josh, you were able to
Speaker 1: kind of wear them down in the second half, especially
Speaker 1: with you know, a lot of the carriers. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean those big boys definitely the wear them down
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the game. Really. Um, we were
Speaker 1: doing a great job of running the ball, they were
Speaker 1: doing a great job of pushing the power forward. We
Speaker 1: tried to um, stick with you know what we knew,
Speaker 1: you know, those core players that we have and just
Speaker 1: you know, play old school football and just pound the ball.
Speaker 1: So uh A lot of credit again, uh to the
Speaker 1: guys up front for allowing us to do that. Josh,
Speaker 1: twenty two carries? How much are you kind of a
Speaker 1: guy who as a running back, the more you get
Speaker 1: the ball, more comorable year. I try to take advantage
Speaker 1: of every carry, So I don't know how many carrises
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get at the end of the day. All
Speaker 1: I know is I have to make you know that
Speaker 1: one count, and that's what I try to do. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was the second carry, I gotta
Speaker 1: the first carry, the one that they called back. You know,
Speaker 1: moments like that, just try to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: You know, you saw that it was called back, so
Speaker 1: you have to take advantage of the next one. And
Speaker 1: that's the way the game goes. You don't know at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. You just know about what
Speaker 1: you had right in front of you. The last few weeks,
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like the holes were really always there
Speaker 1: for you. Guys as a group is running backs today
Speaker 1: though it did look like you were finding your way through.
Speaker 1: How was the line doing today? I think the line
Speaker 1: does an incredible job each week. Each and every week,
Speaker 1: there's always something open, there's always yards in front of us,
Speaker 1: and I think they do a great job each and
Speaker 1: every week. Obviously, every play isn't going to be perfect,
Speaker 1: but us as an offense, we do a great job
Speaker 1: of moving forward. Obviously we want to score more points,
Speaker 1: but our mentality is great and the way we approached
Speaker 1: each each play is fantastic. After scoring, is that something
Speaker 1: you have planned if you got into the end zone?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's uh. That's where I'm from. Man. That's
Speaker 1: a shout out to my family, U to the people
Speaker 1: supporting me. I've been doing that since I was in college. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I try to give a point to the
Speaker 1: sky first and then throw the two and five up.
Speaker 1: Something I've been doing that was playing for your first
Speaker 1: home touchdown? And what was that like? Oh, that's that's
Speaker 1: playing for every touchdown. I don't I don't know any
Speaker 1: other celebration. You know, I couldn't think anything else. So
Speaker 1: you know that's I go with what I know, go with, uh,
Speaker 1: what I've always been doing. So, Josh, you seemed like
Speaker 1: a very patient runner as soon as you get the ball.
Speaker 1: Is that something that's always natural? Is there someone that
Speaker 1: really worked with you, coach with you on that, guys?
Speaker 1: Kind of? I think that's just part of my game. Um,
Speaker 1: something that I was taught in college really, uh, to
Speaker 1: to stay patient because in college I had uh you
Speaker 1: know those you got to know those guys up front
Speaker 1: of working hard. So you want to make that readcount,
Speaker 1: and you want to make a count good. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: have to, you know, take the first thing you see.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta be pacing, let them do their job.
Speaker 1: And so I was talking college and obviously here working
Speaker 1: on perfecting that, working on my crap, perfecting you know,
Speaker 1: those little things and building on some of the things
Speaker 1: that got me here and adding new things to my game.
Speaker 1: Was that for a runner? Not not difficult? Is that?
Speaker 1: Um something you said, you know you're coaching. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: kind of a learned thing because obviously a lot of
Speaker 1: big guys try to hit that hole and get downhill early,
Speaker 1: but you seem to be setting up the blocks when
Speaker 1: you get the ball. Yeah. I just, uh, I just
Speaker 1: try to play my game, you know. I don't try
Speaker 1: to compare myself to anybody. I just try to go
Speaker 1: out there and do what I know, you know, and
Speaker 1: that's trying to get some yardists and move the ball forward.
Speaker 1: I trusting those guys up front, and I just try
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. You know. Those guys made me feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: They give me a lot of respect when I get
Speaker 1: in the huddle, you know, to say that they're counting
Speaker 1: on me. They don't look at me as somebody who
Speaker 1: can't make the play. They hold me to a high standard,
Speaker 1: and I want to, you know, make that payoff. You
Speaker 1: got your first NFL touchdown last week, but after the
Speaker 1: game us that it didn't matter because the way that
Speaker 1: came went. I'm guessing this one was a little bit
Speaker 1: sweeter for you yeah, yeah, this one, Uh definitely feels
Speaker 1: better being home my first home touchdown. So then so
Speaker 1: I would say this one actually feels like the first one,
Speaker 1: but it felt great. Man. Just be able to play
Speaker 1: in front of my family, a lot of my friends.
Speaker 1: Blessing
