1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Evan, what was the feeling like when you walked off

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: the field, when the team walked off the field in

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Philadelphia three weeks ago? And how has the uh confidence

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: maybe you or the how how has the team changed

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: since then? The film walking off Definitely that game, that

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: was a that was a real tough one, real disappointing. Uh,

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: just coming up that short um, and and just how

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the game ended, UH wasn't a really good feeling. But

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence, um in the way

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: we've we've bounced back since then, how we responded as

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: a team, Um, not just in the games, but um,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: even this in practice and in preparation has been really good.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: So I really have a lot of confidence in the

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: way we've been been pairing, the way we've responded, um

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: since that game. And then you came and talked that

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: was the game. Obviously you had the big drop. You

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: came and you talked to us, You owned it, You

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: put out publicly that you know you gotta do better.

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you think you showed anything to your believe it

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: or not, you're one of the older guys now around here.

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Do you think you showed anything to the your younger

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: teammates with the accountability and not after that. UM, you know,

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's obviously that would be UM what

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: they see and what they what they UM find in

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: that in that situation, and how I responded for me, UM,

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not a guy that don't make excuses. UM,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I never point the finger at anybody else. UM in

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: that moment. You know that's something. UM, that's a play

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: I should have made. And but I think a lot

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: of young guys definitely see the way UM guys respond

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: in adversity. So UM for me just to kind of

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: own that and then respond the right way with the

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: work going forward. UM, that was that was important to me.

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember O'Dell when he was here saying it's

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: enough with losing to the Eagles, we gotta beat the Eagles.

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: And that was like, I don't know, two or three

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: years ago, and you still haven't beaten the Eagles. Since

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Is it time for you guys to beat the guy?

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just time at this point of it?

40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever beating the Eagles and they

41
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: be you're twelve out of thirteen times. Are you guys

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: getting frustrated with that? The guys who've been here a

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: long time with the way they've kind of bullied you guys. Um,

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, to be real, obviously, it's a it's a

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: division rival, um that we gotta we gotta win. Um.

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: So it's been, it's been. We've been on the losing

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: end a lot of times recently, and we have opportunity

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: changed that this uh, this Sunday. So that's what we're

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: really focused on, and we're definitely really motivated to to

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: be on the winning game this time. Obviously, because there

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: there being no offseason, the weird training camp and whatnot,

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: there was a little lower acclimation period between the players

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: and the coaches, everybody getting to know each other. Do

54
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: you feel at this point that everybody is kind of

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: now familiar enough with each other to where on offense

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: at least you can take things to the next level.

57
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: You're not still trying to figure out who can do what? Uh? Yeah, definitely, UM,

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: you know this, this this whole year has been an adjustment,

59
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: so we've had to kind of just on the fly.

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: But I think throughout the season and throughout the the

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: first half of this year, we've definitely learned a lot

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: and have grown a lot and We've seen a lot

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: of improvement in the past couple of weeks. So I

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: think we've just been really focused on building and finding

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: things that improve on each week. UM and just trying

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to become more consistent team and obviously uh spread the

67
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: ball around and allowing guys to use their talents to

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: make plays. Dealing with the highs and lows. I mean,

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: since you've gotten here, it's you know, it's kind of

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: been your you know, a story behind the story. You've

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: learned how to go with the highs, go with the

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: lows for for you, why are you able to do that?

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Or are you able to you know the from play

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: to play? I mean you we mentioned that, you know

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: the drop in the Eagles game, you come back, you

76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: catch a touchdown, and against the Red you know against Washington. UM,

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: is there something that you've developed through the years, you

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: think mentally, emotionally that allows you to be able to

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: move past it or does it hang with you? Yeah?

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that I've learned is UM

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: is is learning how to stay in like the exact

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: moment um. There's been a lot of times where I've

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I've allowed a bad play the linger and and and

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: mentally mess me up and won't have me to prepare

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: for the next play and make the next place. So

86
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: I think I've in my maturity uh and just kind

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: of growing in this league and through the adversity and

88
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the lessons learned. UM, I've learned to just kind of

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: stay in the moment um and when the mistakes do

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: happen and the bad plays do happen, uh, definitely you

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: gotta flush them. But when there's when the time is right,

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you learn from them, um and uh, and you work

93
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: on the things that need to be improved on um

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: that could have prevented that. So UM, I think the

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is to staying in the moment um,

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: that that staying in that play, that exact second the

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: world we are in the game or in the week

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: of practice, whatever, um, and just kind of continue to

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: work and and be prepared for the next opportunity that

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: I will get. Last one, Jordan's when you talk about

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: hey happened, when you talk about looking at what what

102
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: when wrong and then trying to improve it. In regards

103
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: to the drops, when you look at them, is there

104
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: something you see? Is there something specific you're trying to

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: work on that you know that that that's leading to

106
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: them or how do you how do you how do

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: you sort of make sense to them this year? Um,

108
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's just small things. Uh, maybe not looking

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: the ball all the way into the tuck or keeping

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: your shoulders square, are running running a go route, or

111
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: shoot your hands together, Um, don't shoot your hands too

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: early and continue to run through the ball. Just small

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: technical things that um that are that are important techniques

114
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: and receiving the ball and being the receiver. So um,

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: just really fundamentals and just being able to focus on

116
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: those and sharpen those things. Um, when the time when

117
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: it when there's time to do that. You haven't found

118
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: a common thread though between them. You just each time

119
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a little different thing and you're from

120
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: what you've seen. Yeah,
