Speaker 9: You mentioned how much of the challenge this was.

48
00:02:31,399 --> 00:02:34,159
Speaker 1: How valuable was it to have someone who went through

49
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: a similar process in David Andrews in the locker room

50
00:02:36,999 --> 00:02:37,199

Speaker 11: Man.

55
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 5: Every time I need a talk to him, everybody had

56
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:45,159
Speaker 5: my head down. He came up to me once he

57
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 5: talked to me and everything, man, especially heard from his story.

58
00:02:47,559 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 5: He just motivated me really well to keep going even stronger.

59
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,999
Speaker 5: Just keep fighting and keep going, just don't stop, and

60
00:02:55,119 --> 00:02:57,279
Speaker 5: just you know, just in order to know it, just

61
00:02:57,359 --> 00:02:59,638
Speaker 5: keep working all myself and make myself a better man.

62
00:03:00,279 --> 00:03:03,999
Speaker 12: So yeah, hey, Christian, can you take us back to

63
00:03:04,038 --> 00:03:07,719
Speaker 12: the conversation you had with the doctors the medical personnel

64
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:09,999
Speaker 12: when they gave you the word that you were cleared

65
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:11,559
Speaker 12: to return to football.

66
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:12,479

00:03:13,399 --> 00:03:13,479
Speaker 6: Like?

69
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 5: Man, it was a bless of God man, because you know,

70
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:17,798
Speaker 5: first they said that I was probably gonna miss the

71
00:03:17,839 --> 00:03:21,279
Speaker 5: year and not hurt because like like mister yeah, and

Speaker 5: and you know it just yeah, it's.

77
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:34,279
Speaker 13: All God, man, Christian going through something like this, how

78
00:03:34,359 --> 00:03:37,279
Speaker 13: much of a different perspective now on being a professional

79
00:03:37,279 --> 00:03:39,599
Speaker 13: athlete and a football player. Does it give you after

80
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:41,279

00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,719
Speaker 5: you know, just why this happened to me? You know this,

163
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:33,838
Speaker 5: but God made no mistakes, you know, And I feel

164
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:36,799
Speaker 5: like God bring his toughest better to his toughest soldiers.

165
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:40,478
Speaker 5: So you know, I'm a soldier. So I just told myself,

166
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:42,359
Speaker 5: this ain't gon gonna let this beat me.

167
00:07:42,719 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Christian.

168
00:07:49,799 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 3: Obviously guys fought this one.

169
00:07:51,479 --> 00:07:54,439
Speaker 4: How difficult was the maybe trying to handle Stafford with

170
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:55,519
Speaker 4: Nikoua and Cup.

171
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:57,159
Speaker 8: With what they were able to do against you guys today.

172
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they they they said they came in

173
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:03,839
Speaker 10: with a plan. You know, we didn't we didn't start well.

174
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,479
Speaker 10: I feel like defensively, we you know, we got into

175
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:10,599
Speaker 10: a rhythm at the end, but you know, we didn't

176
00:08:10,599 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 10: finish well enough. We didn't get into the rhythm fast

177
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:18,599
Speaker 10: enough and we didn't hit our keys. So you know,

178
00:08:18,679 --> 00:08:22,719
Speaker 10: props to Stafford and and Pooka and Cup. They came

179
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:23,759
Speaker 10: in and did what they had to do.

180
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:28,398
Speaker 14: Thank you, Christian, just when you're playing against someone like

181
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,519
Speaker 14: Matthew Stafford, how difficult is it to stop because you

182
00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:33,879
Speaker 14: know he has several different places he's going to go

183
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 14: with the football. How how much harder is it to

184
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,399
Speaker 14: face someone like that?

185
00:08:37,958 --> 00:08:39,958
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he's he's a vet. He's been doing

186
00:08:39,999 --> 00:08:42,119
Speaker 10: it for a long time at a real high level.

187
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,718
Speaker 10: So I mean he's seen every type of defense. He's

188
00:08:44,719 --> 00:08:47,039
Speaker 10: seen whatever you throw at him. So I mean he's

189
00:08:47,479 --> 00:08:50,039
Speaker 10: he's a great quarterback, a real smart quarterback. Knows where

190
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 10: he got to go with the ball. So I mean

191
00:08:53,239 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 10: it's it's a challenge, but that's you know, we invite

192
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,799
Speaker 10: a challenge defensively, we just got to come out and

193
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 10: execute better.

194
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:04,359
Speaker 17: I wanted to ask you this as kind of one

195
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,359
Speaker 17: of the young core players of this team, just how

196
00:09:07,439 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 17: you feel about senior young quarterback developed even in a loss.

197
00:09:10,439 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 17: But obviously we saw a lot of great plays from him,

198
00:09:12,479 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 17: and just what that level is for you if you

199
00:09:14,239 --> 00:09:16,239
Speaker 17: can think ahead to the future of sort of growing

200
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:17,159
Speaker 17: in this team with him.

201
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm I'm behind Drake. Everybody's

202
00:09:21,599 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: behind Drake.

203
00:09:22,119 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 10: You know, mistakes are going to be made, but he

204
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:28,239
Speaker 10: still made a lot of plays that he the offense.

205
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,039
Speaker 10: You know, they came out and they you know, they

206
00:09:30,239 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 10: really did what they had to do. You know, they

207
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:36,958
Speaker 10: were they were making plays, scoring points. So I mean,

208
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 10: it's it's good rattling behind Drake. He's a leader and

209
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,159
Speaker 10: it will be fun to continue to play with him.

210
00:09:46,439 --> 00:09:49,119
Speaker 7: Christian, you hold them to punts on their first two drives.

211
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 7: After that, it seems like they were formationing Cup in

212
00:09:51,359 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 7: nicoa away from you, knowing that you were in the boundary.

213
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:56,279
Speaker 7: Did you see it that way or any other adjustments

214
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 7: that led to four touchdowns in the next five drives.

215
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 10: I mean, I've seen him whenever they came they were

216
00:10:03,999 --> 00:10:07,039
Speaker 10: on my side. Like I said, I was playing the

217
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:10,239
Speaker 10: boundary for this game, So I mean, I can't really

218
00:10:11,079 --> 00:10:13,359
Speaker 10: focus on the you know, the other side. If if

219
00:10:13,479 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 10: I gotta focus on the person in front of me

220
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:18,519
Speaker 10: and just make the players I gotta.

221
00:10:18,239 --> 00:10:24,639
Speaker 11: Make Christian, you just talked about playing on the boundary.

222
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:27,039
Speaker 11: Were you surprised at all with the two rams wide

223
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 11: receivers Cup in Nica that you weren't gonna be a

224
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 11: shadowing one of those players.

225
00:10:33,199 --> 00:10:36,479
Speaker 10: I mean, the coaches came in told me, what what

226
00:10:36,479 --> 00:10:39,359
Speaker 10: what the game plan was. I mean, it's not, it's never.

227
00:10:40,119 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 10: I never look at it as surprised or upset or anything.

228
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 10: You know, I'm I'm doing what they want me to do,

229
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:49,159
Speaker 10: whatever they tell me to do. I'm gonna go out

230
00:10:49,199 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 10: there and do my best to do.

231
00:10:53,199 --> 00:10:54,838
Speaker 18: Christian, why do you think your defense got off to

232
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 18: a slow start in your the first half?

233
00:10:56,719 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 8: And what did you guys do specifically to get better?

234
00:10:59,599 --> 00:11:01,919
Speaker 8: Both officers run defense and passed and the second half.

235
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just it's all about making adjustments. This game

236
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:08,159
Speaker 10: is about making adjustments. I mean, it's the NFL. NFL

237
00:11:08,199 --> 00:11:10,879
Speaker 10: offense are gonna make plays, so you just got to

238
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 10: get to the sideline, make adjustments on the sideline, come

239
00:11:14,199 --> 00:11:17,119
Speaker 10: into the locker room second half, and and make the

240
00:11:17,119 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 10: adjustments and go out there and execute them.

241
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 3: Thank y'all. Vederian, you ever scored a touchdown before?

242
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:27,119
Speaker 19: And if you could walk walk us through the play

243
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 19: a little bit, Girod said you called three passes in

244
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 19: practice to kind of get warmed up.

245
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:32,958
Speaker 3: For this, but but give us a little bit of

246
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 3: backstory here. Yeah yeah, yeah.

247
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:36,639
Speaker 20: So Now, first of all, I've never called a touchdown

248
00:11:37,479 --> 00:11:40,399
Speaker 20: ever in any level of football that I've ever played

249
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 20: at Uh, but it's always been a dream of mine.

250
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 20: You know, since I was a little kid, I always thought,

251
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 20: you know, I could play tight end, you know, growing up,

252
00:11:47,479 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 20: and I always thought I had, you know, fairly great hands.

253
00:11:49,719 --> 00:11:52,119
Speaker 20: So you know, I always sat stuff with the old line,

254
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:53,519
Speaker 20: saying I got the best hands on an old line

255
00:11:53,599 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 20: all that other stuff.

256
00:11:54,319 --> 00:11:56,359
Speaker 3: So but now I've been waiting for, you know, a

257
00:11:56,439 --> 00:11:58,799
Speaker 3: moment like this, and uh, I'm just glad.

258
00:11:58,839 --> 00:12:01,718
Speaker 20: You know, when the play got called, everybody executed and

259
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 20: we over score touchdown.

260
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:09,078
Speaker 4: But Darian, when they call the play, what goes through

261
00:12:09,119 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 4: your mind? And then did it feel like it was

262
00:12:12,479 --> 00:12:14,279
Speaker 4: two hours by the time the past was in the

263
00:12:14,319 --> 00:12:15,399
Speaker 4: air at the time you caught it.

264
00:12:15,439 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 3: And what was it like trying to celebrate a thing

265
00:12:17,439 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 3: like that?

266
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:18,879
Speaker 16: Uh?

267
00:12:19,079 --> 00:12:21,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know when it comes to you know, special plays.

268
00:12:21,999 --> 00:12:24,279
Speaker 20: Uh you never know when you know the OC is

269
00:12:24,319 --> 00:12:26,399
Speaker 20: gonna call him, You never know if he's gonna call him.

270
00:12:27,439 --> 00:12:29,799
Speaker 20: And uh, you know when when whenever, you know, our

271
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,879
Speaker 20: big came in, I was like, oh shit, this is

272
00:12:33,199 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 20: I think this is the time, and I've I'm ready.

273
00:12:35,999 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 20: I was ready for it. I've been, like I said,

274
00:12:37,719 --> 00:12:39,359
Speaker 20: I've been waiting my whole life to catch a catch

275
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:41,399
Speaker 20: a touchdown and let alone, you know, it being an NFL,

276
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:42,639
Speaker 20: so I was.

277
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:44,159
Speaker 3: Just ready for it. You know, I knew exactly what

278
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:44,639
Speaker 3: I had to do.

279
00:12:45,239 --> 00:12:45,359
Speaker 15: Uh.

280
00:12:45,439 --> 00:12:47,119
Speaker 20: I knew I had to share my guy, and you know,

281
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,399
Speaker 20: we were so close to the goal line. I'm like,

282
00:12:49,599 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 20: you just made it like way easier, Like now, don't

283
00:12:51,439 --> 00:12:54,159
Speaker 20: got a run nowhere. So yeah, once I you know,

284
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:55,639
Speaker 20: once a play got called, I knew exactly what I

285
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 20: had to do, and I just had to catch it,

286
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 20: you know, And I knew I wasn't do that.

287
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,879
Speaker 6: So but during one of the sequences where the game

288
00:13:01,999 --> 00:13:05,239
Speaker 6: turned was on the they called a penalty for a

289
00:13:05,359 --> 00:13:08,078
Speaker 6: legal formation? What what do you remember about that? And

290
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 6: and then the follow up would be was there a

291
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 6: warning from the official at any point prior to that?

292
00:13:14,199 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

293
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 20: Yeah, I was warned previously, I believe twice by the official,

294
00:13:22,479 --> 00:13:24,799
Speaker 20: and uh, you know, I thought I was, you know,

295
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:29,119
Speaker 20: lining up correctly, looking at the guards alignment and lining

296
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:33,159
Speaker 20: up on the guardslignment. And uh, you know what really

297
00:13:33,199 --> 00:13:35,239
Speaker 20: sucks about that call is that you know, it came

298
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:38,759
Speaker 20: on a conversion and and I feel like that really

299
00:13:38,839 --> 00:13:41,039
Speaker 20: killed the drives after that, and I feel like that's

300
00:13:41,079 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 20: why you know it really hits as hard as it

301
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:46,239
Speaker 20: does for me, Uh, because you know, that's such a

302
00:13:46,599 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 20: such a simple, you know fix, such an easy thing

303
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:51,359
Speaker 20: to fix. And we always harp on you know, pre

304
00:13:51,439 --> 00:13:54,279
Speaker 20: snap penalties in our procedure and being you know, sound

305
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 20: in that to just give ourselves a chance. And you

306
00:13:57,519 --> 00:13:59,838
Speaker 20: know that really really sucked to get a call like that,

307
00:14:00,479 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 20: and you know, going forward, I made sure the rest

308
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,639
Speaker 20: of the game it didn't happen again.

309
00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 3: But but yeah, it just really hurt, you know, getting

310
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 3: that on a conversion.

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,279
Speaker 21: But Terian, take us through that, Uh, the practice going

312
00:14:14,319 --> 00:14:16,279
Speaker 21: through it? Drodd said, you guys did it a couple

313
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:18,159
Speaker 21: of times when you first heard that, you know it

314
00:14:18,239 --> 00:14:19,719
Speaker 21: was going to be you that was in the play?

315
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:21,039
Speaker 8: What was going through your mind?

316
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:22,519
Speaker 21: And then how does it feel to have a coach

317
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:24,519
Speaker 21: that has the confidence in you as alignment to come

318
00:14:24,599 --> 00:14:25,159
Speaker 21: down with the catch?

319
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:29,759
Speaker 20: That said about down time? Uh, you know I have

320
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:31,639
Speaker 20: been I said, I've been waiting all my life, you know,

321
00:14:31,719 --> 00:14:34,519
Speaker 20: to catch catch up has let alone a touchdown in

322
00:14:34,599 --> 00:14:38,279
Speaker 20: the NFL. So I was like about time, and you know,

323
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,279
Speaker 20: once we once they showed me to play earlier this week,

324
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:44,959
Speaker 20: and then we running in practice. You know, you got

325
00:14:45,079 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 20: to give the coaches the confidence, you know, to call

326
00:14:47,439 --> 00:14:50,199
Speaker 20: the play so you know we're running in practice. I

327
00:14:50,439 --> 00:14:52,399
Speaker 20: did the same thing every single time, caught it every

328
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,679
Speaker 20: single time, So you know, I was just I was

329
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:58,119
Speaker 20: really glad that you know, this was in this moment.

330
00:14:58,199 --> 00:15:00,399
Speaker 20: You know, I was able to you know, execute and

331
00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:02,879
Speaker 20: make a lifelong dream minds come true?

332
00:15:05,359 --> 00:15:05,639
Speaker 3: Did you.

333
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:07,839
Speaker 8: For Henry next?

334
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:11,279
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate. Hunter.

335
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,759
Speaker 4: Uh, you guys moved the ball real well today. Time

336
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:15,719
Speaker 4: in possession, a lot of things. What do you think

337
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:17,599
Speaker 4: this one came down to? And and what kind of

338
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:19,559
Speaker 4: lessons do you learn from an afternoon like this.

339
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,919
Speaker 19: Yeah, there's some positives obviously, you know when you just

340
00:15:23,079 --> 00:15:25,439
Speaker 19: look at it right away, you know, I think some

341
00:15:25,479 --> 00:15:28,999
Speaker 19: of the negatives. Obviously, penalties were big for us. Obviously,

342
00:15:29,079 --> 00:15:31,039
Speaker 19: turnovers are always been. We got to be better in

343
00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:34,679
Speaker 19: the red zone finishing those drives. I mean, I think

344
00:15:34,719 --> 00:15:36,039
Speaker 19: that was the story of the game. I mean, they

345
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:37,319
Speaker 19: were able to finish a little bit more in the

346
00:15:37,359 --> 00:15:38,639
Speaker 19: red zone than us today.

347
00:15:44,359 --> 00:15:46,439
Speaker 17: Hunter, if you wouldn't mind just kind of speak to

348
00:15:46,599 --> 00:15:49,919
Speaker 17: from your viewpoint what you see from Drake week to week, Like,

349
00:15:50,599 --> 00:15:52,159
Speaker 17: we look at the game a little differently than you do.

350
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:55,799
Speaker 17: What seems to be more confident against the pressure, throwing

351
00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:57,279
Speaker 17: guys open, Like, what are some of the things you're

352
00:15:57,319 --> 00:15:59,039
Speaker 17: beginning to appreciate more and more each week?

353
00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:00,999
Speaker 19: I mean, obviously he has a lot of talent, and

354
00:16:02,359 --> 00:16:04,359
Speaker 19: I mean we see that day in day out, but

355
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:07,559
Speaker 19: I think just the growth and the offense growth and

356
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:11,159
Speaker 19: seeing things growth, and I mean just even simple things

357
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:13,799
Speaker 19: of just how we how we you know, do the

358
00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:16,439
Speaker 19: run game. You know, there's there's so many little things

359
00:16:16,479 --> 00:16:18,399
Speaker 19: in offense that go a long way. And I think

360
00:16:18,479 --> 00:16:21,399
Speaker 19: each week he's continuing to grow and it's fun to

361
00:16:21,479 --> 00:16:23,199
Speaker 19: kind of continue that growth with him.

362
00:16:25,959 --> 00:16:27,759
Speaker 2: Hunter, do you do you feel like in the game

363
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:30,399
Speaker 2: like this, both from at the start and then it's

364
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,999
Speaker 2: closer in the second half. Did your expectations for what

365
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:35,719
Speaker 2: you guys are going to do and what you guys

366
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:39,319
Speaker 2: can accomplish? How has that evolved over the course of

367
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,479
Speaker 2: this season in terms of your belief that you can

368
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:42,239
Speaker 2: win a game like this.

369
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:48,719
Speaker 3: I'm to be honest, can you repeat that? Like you

370
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:49,759
Speaker 3: what are you trying to ask here?

371
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:51,679
Speaker 6: Like?

372
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:52,599
Speaker 3: What is my confidence?

373
00:16:52,599 --> 00:16:54,879
Speaker 2: There are times coming off of last year in the

374
00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:57,479
Speaker 2: struggles that you guys had and some of the struggles

375
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,599
Speaker 2: that you guys had early, does it feel like when

376
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:02,959
Speaker 2: you're in a game like this now and some of

377
00:17:02,999 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: the steps that you've taken. You didn't win today, but

378
00:17:05,479 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: did you feel like you were going to win today

379
00:17:07,479 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 2: when you got the ball back?

380
00:17:08,879 --> 00:17:11,478
Speaker 19: I mean, I always feel like I'm going to win,

381
00:17:12,638 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 19: to be honest, Like, I don't step on that football

382
00:17:15,479 --> 00:17:17,718
Speaker 19: field expecting to lose. I don't think anybody in that

383
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:21,519
Speaker 19: locker room expects that. So when we step on that

384
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:24,599
Speaker 19: football field, we expect to win. I mean that's what

385
00:17:24,719 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 19: we get paid to do, and that's what we want

386
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 19: to go out there and do. We didn't get it

387
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 19: done today, but every time I step on the field

388
00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 19: and we expect to win.

389
00:17:33,479 --> 00:17:34,278
Speaker 3: Over here to your right.

390
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,559
Speaker 17: Gerard talked last week about just the importance of you

391
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 17: guys learning how to win and stacking back to back.

392
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 6: What do you think the disconnect is and not being

393
00:17:41,999 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 6: able to build off wins and be able to put

394
00:17:43,918 --> 00:17:44,478
Speaker 6: a few together.

395
00:17:44,958 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 19: I mean, all I can speak on is just today's game,

396
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:51,599
Speaker 19: and I mean we just turn the ball over penalties. Obviously,

397
00:17:51,638 --> 00:17:53,638
Speaker 19: we controlled the ball and a lot of aspects. Just

398
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:56,958
Speaker 19: you know, we got to be finishing the red zone,

399
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,158
Speaker 19: like I said, and you know, score more points. Obviously,

400
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,039
Speaker 19: we've got to find a way to come out with

401
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:05,558
Speaker 19: a win and kind of dominate a game and offensively

402
00:18:05,678 --> 00:18:07,518
Speaker 19: like with scoring points. You know, we were able to

403
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:09,478
Speaker 19: move the ball, but you got to finish, finish in

404
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:09,999
Speaker 19: the end zone.

405
00:18:10,678 --> 00:18:15,918
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Kendrick, nice suit.

406
00:18:16,158 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: First of all, just obviously looking for the win there,

407
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:21,918
Speaker 4: but just for you you talk a little bit about

408
00:18:21,918 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 4: your journey to get to where you were today after

409
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:27,518
Speaker 4: last week with no uh you know, no targets and

410
00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:29,079
Speaker 4: then coming up with a touchdown.

411
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 8: And what it meant to you today just prior of team,

412
00:18:31,398 --> 00:18:34,319
Speaker 8: the way we fought, like you're saying, we want the

413
00:18:34,438 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 8: end result.

414
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 3: That's all it's about.

415
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,759
Speaker 8: So personally, you know, just working, just working, coming to work,

416
00:18:40,478 --> 00:18:43,559
Speaker 8: doing what I gotta do to get better and help

417
00:18:43,638 --> 00:18:46,279
Speaker 8: my team win. So you know, I had a good week.

418
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,039
Speaker 8: I think we all had a good week, so that

419
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,839
Speaker 8: gives us a chance to win. So we all kind

420
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 8: of have the same approach. So I'm just one of

421
00:18:53,918 --> 00:18:55,839
Speaker 8: the guys in the bunch, you know, playing my part

422
00:18:55,958 --> 00:18:57,839
Speaker 8: and just trying to be better.

423
00:18:57,918 --> 00:18:59,279
Speaker 3: So I can contribute to the team.

424
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:04,998
Speaker 19: Hi, Kendrick, After having no snaps last week, did that

425
00:19:05,238 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 19: change your attitude coming into this game or how did

426
00:19:07,158 --> 00:19:09,918
Speaker 19: you approach this game differently than you might have otherwise?

427
00:19:11,238 --> 00:19:11,678
Speaker 3: Just working?

428
00:19:13,238 --> 00:19:16,478
Speaker 8: You know, if my coaches see something, I might not

429
00:19:16,638 --> 00:19:20,279
Speaker 8: see it. You know, they evaluate, they watch us every day,

430
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,998
Speaker 8: and I'm honestly speaking, I could have played better, you know.

431
00:19:23,238 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 8: So my coach's job is to make me get better.

432
00:19:26,158 --> 00:19:27,918
Speaker 8: So whatever they got to do to make me get better,

433
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 8: that's how I have to approach it. So that's kind

434
00:19:31,198 --> 00:19:33,839
Speaker 8: of what happened. And you know, came back to work

435
00:19:33,879 --> 00:19:36,518
Speaker 8: and focused through the week and you know, having a

436
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:37,518
Speaker 8: good game, but at the end of the day, we

437
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 8: didn't win, So.

438
00:19:38,158 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 3: It's not good enough.

439
00:19:41,158 --> 00:19:43,318
Speaker 9: Kenrick, What do you say to Jalen Polk who's had

440
00:19:43,478 --> 00:19:45,838
Speaker 9: an inconsistent start to his pro career here.

441
00:19:46,478 --> 00:19:49,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's tough, so you know, adversity, it hits just

442
00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 8: like what she asks. You know, I was down last week,

443
00:19:52,198 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 8: but just keep going, And that's kind of what you

444
00:19:55,198 --> 00:19:58,559
Speaker 8: encourage them, Just just keep going. You never know what

445
00:19:58,718 --> 00:20:00,478
Speaker 8: player is going to change your career. You never know

446
00:20:01,438 --> 00:20:04,518
Speaker 8: what the future holds, so don't you know, hold on

447
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:08,079
Speaker 8: two bad things for too long. Just it's not easy

448
00:20:08,158 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 8: to do. But that's kind of just the words of encouragement.

449
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:14,478
Speaker 1: Alex Bartham, Hey Hendrick, after not playing last week, to

450
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:16,718
Speaker 1: get that first target right away on the first drive

451
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:17,958
Speaker 1: of the game, that just how much did that?

452
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,638
Speaker 3: Did that help?

453
00:20:18,879 --> 00:20:20,478
Speaker 14: How much would help get you in the flow to

454
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:21,279
Speaker 14: get going today?

455
00:20:21,478 --> 00:20:23,718
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just appreciate the coaches, you know, keep believing

456
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:26,998
Speaker 8: in me. You know, it was a tough situation, but

457
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:29,599
Speaker 8: that just says a lot, you know, about how they're

458
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:32,198
Speaker 8: approaching it. You know, they're doing their job. So shout

459
00:20:32,198 --> 00:20:34,638
Speaker 8: out to the coaches. You know, that's that's what they

460
00:20:34,678 --> 00:20:36,318
Speaker 8: got to do. They got to make tough decisions. They

461
00:20:36,398 --> 00:20:38,518
Speaker 8: gotta It's not easy run a team. So you know,

462
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 8: I'm just a player on the team, So I couldn't

463
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 8: imagine what they talk about, what they go through up there,

464
00:20:42,718 --> 00:20:44,999
Speaker 8: and so I'm just thankful that they, you know, still

465
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:45,398
Speaker 8: believe me.

466
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:49,519
Speaker 17: I would just love if you wanted to share any

467
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,638
Speaker 17: thoughts on kind of the growth of your quarterback. He's young,

468
00:20:51,718 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 17: he's learning, you played with different guys. Just what you're

469
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:55,438
Speaker 17: saying each week two week from.

470
00:20:55,398 --> 00:20:59,918
Speaker 8: Drake, Yeah, he's doing great. It's awsome playing with Drake.

471
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,278
Speaker 8: He just he knows what he's doing, he knows what

472
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,599

473
00:21:05,718 --> 00:21:08,758
Speaker 8: he wants to be better. But I think it's just

474
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,158
Speaker 8: a process for everybody. Everybody has the same approach. You

475

477
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 8: to play better every week. You know, you try to

478
00:21:17,158 --> 00:21:19,238
Speaker 8: put the perfect game together, but you never can. Just

479
00:21:19,678 --> 00:21:21,798

Speaker 18: one of you guys tried and against the Titans as well.

485
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:34,599

00:21:34,638 --> 00:21:36,638
Speaker 18: on and also with Drake, you know, not really being

487
00:21:36,678 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 18: the starter till later, you not being able to get

488
00:21:38,478 --> 00:21:40,238
Speaker 18: into later. What's it like being able to try to

489
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 18: get on the same page.

490
00:21:41,398 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a process. And uh, Drake does a good

491
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:45,039
Speaker 8: job kind of to a question.

00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,718

494
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,799
Speaker 8: the DV off the line that gives you opportunity for

495
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 8: a back shoulder. So you try to win over the top,

496
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,638
Speaker 8: but if the dv's not looking and looking back, you know,

497
00:21:57,718 --> 00:22:00,599
Speaker 8: it creates the opportunity for a back shoulder. So him
