0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the morning as soon as we are back lane. Could

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.559
<v Speaker 1>he have finished the game but you just kept him

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>out after he went down because you had a big lead,

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>That's correct. Emphasis was starting fast the defense as well. Yeah,

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's something we've emphasized, you know obviously, UM

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>this last couple of weeks, and and you know this

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>week in particular. Uh, it's great to see our defense,

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>UM come up with a big turnover, big stop early

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>and then offense capitalize on that, you know, in the

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>red zone. And it's good to see you know, all

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>three phases really played. Uh, we're pretty pretty pretty good today.

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Proud of you over your team to respond the way

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you did on a short league and in a tough

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>place to play against the Giants and do all the

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>things that you guys have really struggled with starting fast,

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 1>red zinal sacks the whole the whole nine years. I'm

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:00.040
<v Speaker 1>very proud of the guys, the coaches, UM and and

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and really you know how they um, how they don't panic,

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, they don't it's resilient group. UM, how they

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>hang together, Um, work every single day, come to work

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>every single day, and and and get better. And you

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>know when things things kind of get piled on them

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>here in the last couple of weeks and and uh,

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>but they don't they don't listen to it, you know,

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>and and they come out and play. Let I do tonight.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a credit to that team and and those

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>coaches in there, and give a lot a lot of

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>credit to them. It's it seems throughout the year you're

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to play from the time. What's different for you

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>guys when you're playing from the head well a lot.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it opens up more your playbook a little bit.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You saw the run game kind of kind of take

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 1>over a little bit there in the second and third quarter,

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>and and you know some play action passes and different

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature. And it just kind of gives

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you a little, um little openness to your game plan,

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess, and and and uh to play to play

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with the league. Did you see Carson become become more

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>comfortable more um, you know, perhaps the quarterback us last year.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I did Um, he really did a did a nice job,

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, just sort of obviously executing the offense and

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know a couple of times, you know,

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe not taking care of the ball at a couple

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of times, but but that's that's okay. We end up

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>with a with a win. But um, yeah, he did

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a nice job, you know, running the offense, Uh, going

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>where he needed to go with football, making making some

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>good decisions at the line of scrimmage, you know, and

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>um really put a put a full game together. And

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it was really the guys around him too, stepping up

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>an offensive line, I thought, you know, overall played played

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. Um, even with the amount of injuries that

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we had. And um, it's good to see how much

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you need to how much did you need to have

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>put pressure on Manning and uh get the kind of

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>pass rushing just seemed to knock them out of any

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of back Yeah. Yeah, it's uh it's something that

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, our d line we feel like they can

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they can get after a passer and um, you know

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>each and every week, but but we know that, Um,

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, these games are always these these games are battles,

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>These games are tough, and uh it usually comes down

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to which team can get after the passer, you know,

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know the opportunities. We had to

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to to hit Eli and get him on the ground,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and because he's very capable of of bringing a team back,

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>he's proven that. So it was good to see from

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>our d line at the end of the game he

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>clicked up both tackles. Was that because of score the

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>game or start concerning them the injuries, Well, both of

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.399
<v Speaker 1>them came out, you know, due to injury. Will evaluate

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>both of them. But again it's a credit to to

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Isaac moving out to tackle, you know, like we talked

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>about during the week, and then Chance coming in and playing,

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Whizz coming in and playing, and um moving some moving

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>some pieces around. So it was uh, um, you know,

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Stalin does a great job with those guys preparing

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>them each week, and uh they stepped into a nice job.

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Talk about a situational football going into the seating and

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>other games, eliminating comalties and then not necessarily thinking first

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>of all all the time, I mean, how much didn't

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the elimination of some of these mistakes these in situations. Well,

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's a great question because it's obvious when

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you when you take care of the ball and you

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>don't have too many penalties that are killing in the

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>red zone, and um, your ability to to to make

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>make some yards on first down and put you into

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>some second and short situations or second manageable situations, and

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>then your third downs are a little more manageable after that.

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it all, it all works together, um, you know,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't compound. And we had a couple of

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>penalties that backed us up, but um, for the most part,

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>we stayed ahead of the chain tonight and and and

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>helped us wine problems so far three games this season.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Is just a matter of femilarities. He's what I think,

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a little everything. Um, you know, I think, Uh,

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>even even when both guys were rehabbing, you know, they

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>were throwing together off to the side and getting some

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>some recognition in there, and you know during the summer

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and obviously first part of the season, so you know,

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>they really developed a rapport. Um. You know, al Sean

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is playing playing extremely well right now. He's elose and

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>his run after the catches is pretty is really good. Uh.

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Carson feels comfortable with him, and it just comes from time,

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, just just working with each other and and

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>developing that rapport. Way he plays the position about you

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>guys have missed the guy consistently. Top Does that affect

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>him as much as he put him on the way

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>he plays? I think I think his his nature obviously

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>is what you're seeing. You know, he's big, physical, powerful um.

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Not only down the field, his catch radius is uh

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>extremely high. He has ability and you know that he's

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>he's proven down these last couple of weeks to break tackles,

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>carry defenders, get some tough first downs, and I think

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what you want, you know, from from a guy

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah, and then you get you know, the

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>complimentary speed guys is Nelson Aguilar and you know then

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>then we had of course Mike Wallace and Tory last year.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>But but Sean is really UM, that guy that you

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 1>know exactly where he's gonna be. He's a big target

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, put him, put him anywhere

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and let him run routes a complete game like this,

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>all three phases. What does this do for you guys?

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Going and confidence? Well, I think confidence wise, UM gives

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>our guys a shot, gives our guys a boost. You know,

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>they get a break this weekend and get to get

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a chance to really rest and and kind of reflect

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>on the first six weeks and and make another little

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>push you know, for these next couple of weeks before

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>our full by you know. And um yeah, just uh

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and plus our injury situation right now, it

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>gives gives us an extra couple of days to to

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to heal and to rest and get ready for next week.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen the team concerned at all pressing on

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the best week? You know what I haven't, Um, you know,

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys again, like I said, it's it's a resilient group.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 1>They come to work every day, you know, prepared, ready

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to go, ready to get better, ready to be coached. Um.

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>And and there's no panic with this group, you know.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>And they just they just stay the course. They they're

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>saying the right thing, doing the right things there. They

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>know they're a good football team. And and yeah, we

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't putting it all, you know, we haven't put it

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.559
<v Speaker 1>all together. But but tonight it was a good start.

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>What actually was Lean's injury heading into this week? Obviously

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a late edition on this morning to the injury report.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>What was wrong with them? Yeah, lower body? That good?

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, Thanks
