1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: E left Penny obviously a little bit thin at running 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: back this week, but you stepped up and filled that role. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously it's a fullback, but you said, hey, 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: I can run with the rock in my hand as well. 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: Talk about filling that ward to this team. You know, 6 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: it's it ain't nothing. It's just I've been a runner 7 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: in this league before. Um I played behind good running 8 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: backs when I was at Arizona, and I've always had 9 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's the chances being behind those guys David Johnson, 10 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: Christ Johnson, Adrian Peterson just always learned behind those guys. 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: And when I got my opportunity there when a couple 12 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: of guys went down Arizona, I stepped up and played 13 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: a big role. And I did the same thing here 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: said Kwon went down, Wayne went down. You know, I 15 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: figured like I'm the next I was the next man up, 16 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: and you know, probably one of the older guys in 17 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the room, so you know, I just felt like it 18 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: was kind of like my job to do so. But 19 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: there's a bit of the mentality of this team, no offense, defense, 20 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: whatever way it is, next man up and staying ready, 21 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: and that just talk about kind of the importance of 22 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: that in this group and in this league. Yeah, I 23 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: mean it's big, and it's for the act for this group. 24 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Actually first it's you know, it's huge. You know, running back, 25 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: any given player you can go down, you know, just 26 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: just based on how physical the position is. So you know, 27 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: you always running in the trenches, you always you get 28 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: tackled about more than like three guys every place. So 29 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, at running back, you always have to have 30 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: that mentality to learn, especially me, learn fullback and running back. 31 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: So when I'm at a meeting, I'm just not just 32 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: learning fullback. And it's also another thing, um, just to 33 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: have add value to yourself while to play longer. Now today, 34 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: facing a Minnesota defense that was very fierce against you 35 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: guys who have the challenge that you guys had going 36 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: up against them, I mean, do you feel like you 37 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: guys left some places on the field. Uh, yeah, we 38 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, when we will go back and watch tomorrow, 39 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure it's a couple of plays I 40 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: can remember that we left on the field. It's a 41 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: couple of plays that I had personally that I didn't like, 42 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, I feel it was. But at 43 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: the same time, I did. I like the positive things 44 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: that we did to Daniel moving the ball, always confident 45 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: on receivers catching the ball, and you know, it's just 46 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: it's just um. When we get down the red zone, 47 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: we gotta finish place and not make mistakes and such 48 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: as penalties and and things like that. Coming off a 49 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: short week, is it almost easier or coming off a 50 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: tough loss? Is it almost easier to have a short week? 51 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: How do you right back on the field on Thursday? 52 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: It actually that's like coming back to like practice on 53 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: Monday after a loss. On the short short week, it 54 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: actually feels better than having that Monday and two day 55 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: off because you know, you get a lot of time 56 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: to yourself to sit back and think about what you 57 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: did wrong, rather than just eat the film up on 58 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: this Monday and then we're gonna practice the same day. 59 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: So you know, it's always a tough week playing on Thursday, 60 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: but you know it's a part of the business, and 61 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta come out and be ready 62 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: to play.
