1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Talked about the touchdown kind of it was gonna for

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: a momentum. Yeah, it kind of worked out not how

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: we planned, um, you know, and I was just a

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: great ball by DJ kind of just trusting it and

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: putting it the placement in the point of the end zone.

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, him getting outside the pocket, great throw and

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, just a competitive catch and you know, right

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: there because what's tied up. Um, you take momentum right

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: in that moment, and we're feeling pretty good. How is

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: it to reflect on the positives when season? You know,

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: for for me, uh, you know, being on my tenth season,

00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: production wise, it's not where we want I want to be.

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: But you know, just looking at the personnel, all the

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: young guys ex stepped in and worked hard. Um, you know,

00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, after some rest and recovery and build something. Um.

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think we have a lot of amazing talent. UM.

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, we expect guys that make some huge jumps,

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: including myself, and just come back with a positive attits,

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: you're ready to work. But you know, I'm really proud

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: of you know, our record doesn't speak for you know

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: how good I thought we were. But you know, it's

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: it's easy to crumble. It's easy to have a you know,

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: a locker room that's full of guys blaming and turning

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: on coaches and turning on each other, but a flight

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: for For the twelve games that I played, everybody showed

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: up with a positive attitude, ready to work, and I

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: felt like we always believe that we can win the game. Um,

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, just a few plays. You give us probably

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: two dozen plays back this season, and I think we're

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: above a hunt by hundreds. So um, you know, I'm

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: just expecting guys to grow and come back ready. If

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: someone we've been in this league for so long and

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: seeing what Manning has done in this league to play

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and what's potentially his last season here with him, what

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: does that mean to you? You know it was it

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: was truly my honor just to be around alive. Admired

41

00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: for his organization will always and forever be be remembered.

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I think so. Or truly my honor to be around him.

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know what the future holds

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: for him here there, um, but you know I feel

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: like being around him. He truly has no regrets, Like

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: he played the game the right way um and did

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: his best um, no matter what the situation was. So

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: commend him for that. You went around long enough to

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: know that an you win four games, sometimes they would changes.

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: I mean, are you interested to see what happens? Yeah,

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not sure what to expect, and thankfully

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that's not a decision I have to make. Um. But

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, my job is a show up and work

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: my tail off, keep this locker room together, um, and

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: whatever happens. But you know, regardless of if we're sixteen

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: and oh or you know where we are now, UM,

60
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: this locker room is never gonna be the same ever ever.

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: So that's something that you know this there's always a

62
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: tough night for him, your tough day for me. Because

63
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: some of these guys are I'm never gonna see again.

64
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Some of these guys are never wanna play football again.

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: The dynamical team is going to change. But also the

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: high point about it. The good thing about football is

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, no matter how bad statistically or how bad

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you think you play this year, you get a new start.

69
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: It's almost like what happened last year does not matter.

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's encouraging. So top the bottom of expecting

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: guys to come back bigger, better, stronger, faster, um smarter

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: and try to build something great road, I'm golden, um.

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: And what's the us What's what's the biggest lesson? Um?

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: From headcook past um push Sherman is a very very

75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: positive guy. UM. And you know, to me, he's been

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: consistent from from a moment I've stepped in this building.

77
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: And I really appreciate that. Like I said a little

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: bit earlier, it's it's easy to start blaming and pointing

79
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: fingers and and kind of throwing in the towel. And

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: and he's been awesome UM to be around. He's he

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: cares about his his players, his coaches, and from top

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: about him. I'm sure you guys have spent some time

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: with him, seeing him up and down the hallways. He's

84
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: just a very um calm, cool, collected guy, and I

85
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. Um. You know, I hope I have

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: a chance to work with him again. I'm not sure

87
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: that you guys were just a couple of plays away

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: from exeptually happening. Way record your close Kate record with

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: you guys would have been like, right out, it's not

90
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: in the receast the first place. How do you get

91
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: over that? Am and Nick based these games? That's for

92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: you guys. Oh, I just think, um, we understand our

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: jobs a little bit better. Um, you just go out

94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: there and make that extra play. Not weight on plays

95
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: be made, go make that play. Um. But athletically and

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: and and all that, I think we're right there. We

97
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: just need to you know, we're I'm not making this excuse,

98
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: but we were. We are a young team, UM, guys

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: are trying to figure it out pro football. And I expect,

100
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: you know, our year one guys to make a huge

101
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: jump and and and help us win. Um. And I

102
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: think those guys did a good job. I think they

103
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: studied their tails off, and I think they got better

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: each and every week. But you know, we just gotta

105
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: be a little bit better. Um. And I think that's

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: just the that's the difference between really, you know, a

107
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: bad team and a good team is not much. So

108
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep working. UM be excited to come

109
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: back in here in April or whenever it may be,

110
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: and and see if we can build something. Um great.

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: Uh you know that's the whole point of the whole

112
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: point of showing up in April is to be you know,

113
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: playing for the division or in the playoffs come um

114
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: late December, early January and going into February. So oh um,

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: I take this very serious because our years are limited.

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: You don't know when it's gonna be taken away from you,

117
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: and so you've got to make the best of each

118
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: situation in each year that you have
