Speaker 4: first year with a different head coach in.

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 6: Pop you know, so so that was that was the

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 6: adjustment off.

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 4: Rip and and it was and it was cool straight

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: like building building different relationships, like in different circumstances situations,

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: which is always good to uh have those life goals

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: and have those life lessing lessons around, uh, just to

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: have them on building blocks so then you're prepared in

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: any situation.

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,080

Speaker 4: guys earlier, connecting with just just overall, just getting are

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: looking at everything that happened this year would transpire and

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: going into next year with a fresh mind.

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,920

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 8: more wins that you felt like the wins are, the

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 8: things in the seams are just like how important is

00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 8: it for you to end.

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: The season having won these last two games.

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 6: I feel like the way we end the season was

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: was cool. I think it was cool.

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: I think uh overall, like as a as a quarterback,

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 4: I showed different pieces in different games, you know, to

65
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: all add up to one complete quarterback. And that's where

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: I to get to. You know, in those situations, red

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: zone situations, field, those situations, they're down situations where you

68
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: at on the field situation.

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 6: So it was a lot of situations.

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: That was good.

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: I feel like this this was a good learning year

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: for me, and I'm excited for it because, like I say,

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: like moving forward, I'll be prepared, you know, I I

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: I'll have actual realistic reps verse players and there's other

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: players on other teams and everything. So I'm excited for

76
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: this off season, like knowing what I'm knowing and understand

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,320

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: I can't make decisions on the coach and who's coming

117
00:05:59,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: who's not.

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,960

Speaker 1: What Gil?

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: And Yeah, but it's those coaches and also it's other

121
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: coaches also. You know that all poured into me and

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: uh that helped me throughout everything. So definitely it it

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: take a village. It take a village to to to

124
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: to grow someone and uh help you in places that

125
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: you need help with, you know, and just talking in

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: perspectives being humans with each other, you know, So they

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: take a village to raise one.

128
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 9: I mentioned you getting more, you know, more reps against

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 9: other teams and having the whole long season and that one.

130
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: Does that mean that the franchise kind of came.

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 5: To you and so they want you to use their franchiseporters.

132
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 4: Nah, It just went off simple facts of from last

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: year to this year, like not playing in the league

134
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: and this year playing in the league, knowing what you like,

135
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: what you don't like, knowing what you do good, which

136
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 4: you don't do good, and just knowing the strengths and

137
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: weaknesses and trying to and knowing how people game plan.

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 4: Also knowing how teams will attack or take things away.

139
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: So it's a whole deep dive that you have to

140
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: dive into when it comes to this offseason, and mentally

141
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: like getting there and preparing everybody, whether it's the connection

142
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: with the receivers and everybody to have that to have

143
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: that type of feeling, to have that factor, to have

144
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: those moments to where it could be risky plays, but

145
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: it's always going to fall in our direction.

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 6: So it takes a lot of relationships.

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm happy this offseason I'll be able

148
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: to build with those guys and whoever is coming to

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: the program.

150
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Up next his offensive guard Joel Buttonio, who spoke on

151
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: the big decision that lies ahead of him this offseason.

152
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: Major your comments known on Kevin a couple of weeks ago.

153
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 11: But just as you found to say, how you process,

154
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 11: you name, what's kind.

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was.

156
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 13: Sad for the human being, right, like you create a

157
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 13: relationship six years. You know, I'm a loyal person, and

158
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 13: we had, you know, a couple of playoff runs. Six

159
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 13: years a coach, and like most of my career, obviously

160
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 13: half my career was with him as the head coach.

161
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 13: So I was just appreciative. I got to talk to

162
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 13: him and just told him I appreciate everything he did

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 13: for this organization and and and the way he led us,

164
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 13: you know, greatest sport in the world, tough business like

165
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 13: that's what the NFL is. And so you go go

166
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 13: up there and you show your appreciative, but you know,

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 13: I was, I was disappointed in it.

168
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 10: You know.

169
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 13: I think he's a great football coach and I think

170
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 13: he'll get a chance somewhere and show that he can

171
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 13: still coach in this league.

172
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: How does it affect your decision? Do you want to

173
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: go through another coach and change?

174
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 10: Right, It's all part of it, you know.

175
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 13: I kind of been saying, like my body, you know,

176
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 13: how I feel, is going to be the number one decision.

177
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 13: But you gotta you know, you know who you're playing

178
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 13: for and in the situation that you're gonna step into.

179
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 10: So it's definitely a factor.

180
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: You're time to have him to let him know before

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: a free agency.

182
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think my contract voids and six or eight

183
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 13: weeks or something like that, so probably gotta make a

184
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 13: decision before that.

185
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 10: Joweled.

186
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: A lot of guys will talk about just the relationships

187
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: shit's gone with Kevin. What is it that's unique about

188
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: the way he builds he builds and connects with you guys.

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, he's had a leadership meeting probably every

190
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 13: week since he's been here. So I've had that, you know,

191
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 13: meeting for six years once a week. You know, he

192
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 13: calls you in the off season to check on you,

193
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 13: cares about your family and what they're doing. Just all

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 13: those type of relationships. You know, he jokes around with you,

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 13: he's he's got a different sets of humor. So sometimes

196
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 13: is this is this a real joke right now? Are

197
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 13: you being serious? You know him, So all those things

198
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 13: play a factor, but I think it's just who he

199
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 13: is every day. Like he was so consistent, and I've

200
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 13: talked about that forever. His consistency was was never rolled

201
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 13: the ride the roller coaster, and that's just who he

202
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 13: was every day.

203
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: Joel.

204
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: Obviously, Andrew gets to stay and he's gonna run the

205
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 5: coaching search and try to figure this out. You've been

206
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: around him for a long time too, so what are

207
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 5: your impressions to him? Do you think he's still the

208
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: right guy to the assorting data?

209
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's you know, he was here even before he

210
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 13: got the GM job, So I had relationship with him.

211
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 13: I think when I signed my first contract extension, he

212
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 13: was in the building. So we've we've you know, we've

213
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 13: been together for a long time, and I have a

214
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 13: lot of respect for ab and and how he's he's

215
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 13: done his job, and you know, I think we have

216
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 13: all the faith in the world that he can find

217
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 13: a coach that's gonna help lead this team. You know,

218
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 13: he hopefully we can hit another draft like this last

219
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 13: year and and helped rebuild some of the holes on

220
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 13: the roster. But you know, from what he's done, he's professional,

221
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 13: like he's he's smart. He does all those things like

222
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 13: checks all those boxes.

223
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 15: Joel pretty much seen it or since you've been here,

224
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 15: and you know, one of the things Jimmy highlighted.

225
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 16: This morning, say eight wins and the teams just doesn't

226
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 16: put it. What's it gonna take for this franchise to

227
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 16: get this thing on track on a consistent basis, Whereas

228
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 16: it's you know, one good season called by a couple

229
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 16: of times and then you're having a retool to rebuild to.

230
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 13: Be back to where Yeah, I think at the end

231
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 13: of the day, the National Football League is a you know,

232
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 13: quarterback league, right, Like, if you have an elite quarterback

233
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 13: in this league, it allows you to be a little

234
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 13: bit more sustained in your success.

235
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 10: Right.

236
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 13: And it's not me saying like do you know Chador

237
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 13: or Dylan or DeShawn or Bailey all any of these

238
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 13: guys that guy, right, we have those guys in our

239
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 13: locker room. But until you have a guy that can

240
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 13: stay healthy and can be on the field and be

241
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 13: that guy for your team, like it's hard to have

242
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 13: that susame success. Like, look at all the playoff teams

243
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 13: this year, all the teams that consistently make it every year,

244
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 13: it's usually the Patrick Mahomes, the Josh Allens, the you know,

245
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 13: the great quarterbacks in this league. And so until you

246
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 13: find one that's that's you know, stable and it can

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 13: you know, lead your team, it's it's gonna be hard

248
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 13: to not ride the roller coaster wins and losses.

249
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 14: Like, I mean, you've wait with so many of them,

250
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 14: but like, yeah, do you know what a great quarterback

251
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 14: looks like.

252
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: When you see it?

253
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 10: I mean, we've had some runs, right, Like, we had.

254
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 13: Some stretches of football where it was h it was

255
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 13: fun to be out there, fun to be around, and

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 13: so I think you see those moments and you're like,

257
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 13: this would be pretty cool if you know, when you

258
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 13: win eleven games in a season, like it makes the season,

259
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 13: you know so much better. And so you have those

260
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 13: moments of like this has been great football and the

261
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 13: quarterbacks playing great football, and and it gives you a

262
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 13: chance to win every time you take the field.

263
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 14: So a lot of times when a coaching change is

264
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 14: made to go from either a fiery.

265
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: Guy to a calmer guy made back to a finally guy.

266
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Do you think that's important?

267
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 13: No, I think what the guy does culture building, like

268
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 13: the x's and o's of whatever scheme, or who he

269
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 13: hires to run those schemes, is a lot more important

270
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,359
Speaker 13: than if he yells or if he's calm.

271
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: Do you think that this team is close enough to

272
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: really turn things around next season?

273
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 10: Yeah?

274
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 13: I think the defense, you know, I know it's year

275
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 13: to year on a lot of things, but I think

276
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 13: the defense plays at a top five level, you know

277
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 13: what I mean still, and the offense can improve enough

278
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 13: to be you know, a help. You can find some

279
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 13: more wins, like every team you can nitpick wins, but

280
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 13: you look at you know, three or four or five

281
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 13: games that we had this year, the division was one

282
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 13: at nine and eight, Like, there's a chance to compete

283
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 13: for the division. I think if you can improve some

284
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 13: of the holes that you have and you know, put

285
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 13: together a coaching.

286
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 8: Staff so well, I know you don't have a decision,

287
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 8: yeah obviously, but I mean in.

288
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 14: General, with this old line, does it feel like.

289
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 8: Kind of a big transition off season for you guys,

290
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 8: just given where contracts are at least the potential.

291
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 10: For that obviously.

292
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a huge I mean Jack, you know, Wyatt, myself, Posick,

293
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 13: I think Kevin. I think most of the guys, Cam

294
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 13: Robinson are all you know, there might be five or

295
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 13: six guys under contract. So I think it's it's definitely

296
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 13: gonna be a big transition, you know, for for the offense,

297
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 13: and you know, all great things coming to an end, right, Like,

298
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 13: we had a nice run with this group of guys

299
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 13: and the people that did it, and you know, I'll

300
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 13: always appreciate going to war with them, but yeah, I

301
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 13: think they're gonna be a transition period for sure.

302
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 16: How is it like there was stability for basically like

303
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 16: five or.

304
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 8: Six years and turnover, right, but I mean to stay together.

305
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 10: With a Yeah, No, it was great.

306
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 13: You get to know the people, you get to know

307
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 13: their families, you get to know you know how they

308
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 13: play and what motivates them.

309
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 10: So it was fun. It was a fun run of

310
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 10: that group of guys.

311
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: Go to a bunch of defensive guys. I made a

312
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 5: case for Jim Schwartz maybe even be the head coach. Yeah,

313
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: you've been around it for a little bit. What are

314
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: your thoughts on that? And you've gotten enough to know

315
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 5: well enough to think that he could be a good

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 5: in it role.

317
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's a good coach man. I think everywhere he's

318
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 13: been the defense has improved and gotten better. Like you

319
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 13: can look at his track record with when he got

320
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 13: to the Eagles, when he got to Buffalo, you know,

321
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 13: all those things, like there's big jumps when he came here.

322
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 13: Our defense has been probably overall the last three years,

323
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 13: you know, if not the best, one of the best

324
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 13: units in the league. You know, the defense plays with

325
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 13: a swagger and a culture, and it's different, like it's

326
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 13: easy to just tell the defense to like go run

327
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 13: to the ball, you know what I mean, and like stuff.

328
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 13: So there's a little difference there. But I think what

329
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 13: he's done as a coach, he definitely deserves a look

330
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 13: to be a head coach.

331
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 15: Do you think he expect Kevin to hear, whether it's

332
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 15: soon or later, be an NFL head coach again?

333
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think so. I don't know what his plans are,

334
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 13: you know what I mean, if he's gonna take a

335
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 13: year off or go, you know, be and OC. But

336
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 13: I think you will be a head coach in the NFL,

337
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 13: probably sooner rather than later.

338
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 11: Julie, you mentioned that who gets the job, and you

339
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 11: know maybe at least a factor in your decision. I

340
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 11: guess with that in mind, what are the things that

341
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 11: you know you specifically maybe you are gonna look for

342
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 11: in a head.

343
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: Coach and one a head coach do you think is

344
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: the best for the organization if you work with that? Yeah?

345
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 13: I I think the culture they build right, like I.

346
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 13: And it's hard to tell, you know, just meeting somebody,

347
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 13: but what kind of their their standards are, what they

348
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 13: they do, holding people accountable? All those things are a fact.

349
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 13: What staff they put together. If it's a defensive coach,

350
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 13: who they're hiring at the OC, if it's an offensive coach,

351
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 13: who's their defensive coordinators? Like your position coach is the

352
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 13: person you work with the most, right, so like you

353
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 13: bring in someone that you trust or you know of

354
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 13: all those things are factors. But you know, I I

355
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 13: I I just think it's like, how do you build

356
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 13: a culture?

357
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 10: You know?

358
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 13: And who do you who do you ring on your

359
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 13: staff would probably the most important things.

360
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 15: Obviously I know you're gonna yeah for a while.

361
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: But if you do decide this is it for you?

362
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: How meaningful would it be?

363
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 17: For you to win your last two games against you know,

364
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 17: the positions you played a them.

365
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was great.

366
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 13: You know, anytime you eat Pittsburgh and since the division,

367
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 13: guys like it's, uh, it's extra special, and you know,

368
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 13: you don't know, like if it is the last, if

369
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 13: it's not. I definitely, you know, took in the moments

370
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 13: yesterday a little bit in case it is the last,

371
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 13: but I was happy to I was happy to walk

372
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 13: off of the win. You know, I remember my first win.

373
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 13: I don't know if anybody remembers, but it was Saints

374
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 13: Week two of twenty fourteen, walk off field goal Billy Kundiff.

375
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 13: We beat the Saints on a walkoff, and then I

376
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 13: was like, if this one happens to be the last

377
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 13: one walk off field goal against the Bengals, you know,

378
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 13: so that'd be a cool way to kind of cap it.

379
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 10: But I'm just so focused on.

380
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 13: My family right now and and how I'm gonna recover

381
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 13: here in the next few weeks, and then I'll make

382
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 13: a more informed decision in a few weeks.

383
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 5: Say you feel different now than you did last year,

384
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 5: it's about the retirement decision.

385
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 13: It's pretty similar. I think it's just like and it's

386
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 13: so hard. You know, you get to the off season

387
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 13: no matter what, there's just like sigh of like, you know,

388
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 13: it's hard to be like, hey, I'm retiring right now,

389
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 13: and you don't do anything till June or July anyway,

390
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 13: so it's tough to to make the decision. So I

391
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 13: think I'm as similar vot as I was last.

392
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: Year, though, Joel is the end?

393
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 10: How do you how you look back on your.

394
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: Twelve year career.

395
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 10: With great pride?

396
00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's.

397
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 10: Hard to put in words, you know, I.

398
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 13: Just just tried to give it everything, So I uh, right, stuff,

399
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 13: you know, you you try and go out there and

400
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 13: be the best person of yourself and do what you

401
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 13: can to help the team win.

402
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 10: And I try to do that every day. That's what

403
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 10: That's what I did.

404
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: Chill.

405
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: It looked like real early uh yesterday, you were you know,

406
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: normally you're you, You've said before you kind of guys

407
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: stays in the locker room.

408
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: You looked like you were kind of out.

409
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: There in the end zone, kind of taking everything and

410
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: had you done that before this year?

411
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 13: Or well, truthfully, yesterday I was, uh, my family came down,

412
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 13: so I was trying to find out where they were

413
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 13: sitting in the stands. I I usually walk out there

414
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 13: if I hadn't played in the stadium in a while,

415
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 13: like Chicago, I walked out beforehand just to get a

416
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 13: feel of it. But I've played in since he so

417
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 13: many times that I, uh, I knew what I was

418
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 13: kind of looking for their section before the game. So

419
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 13: it wasn't anything too crazy. I just wanted to know

420
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 13: where they were said at appreciate it.

421
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: Probowl cornerback Denzel Ward spoke on his six seasons with

422
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: former Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski.

423
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: You've been here for.

424
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 16: Kevin's home what reactions that couldn't be him?

425
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: Let go?

426
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's tough, man. Yeah, this is a hard time. Uh, Coach,

427
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 7: He's a great coach. Like like I said before, nothing's changed,

428
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 7: He's still a great coach. I think the biggest thing

429
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 7: that we all got to take accountability for is that

430
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 7: we haven't had the season that that we all, you know,

431
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 7: set out to do. And uh you know so, I

432
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 7: mean things are going to change and that's just what

433
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 7: the NFL is and what's gonna happen with it. But

434
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 7: I'm wishing him the best. You know, like I said,

435
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 7: he's a great coach. I know he's gonna go on

436
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 7: and continue to do great things wherever he goes next.

437
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 7: And uh, but the main focus is us changing the

438
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns organization, you know, as while I'm still here

439
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 7: and UH is winning. So whatever we gotta do to

440
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 7: get on to the winning track, that's what we're gonna do.

441
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: With How long have you.

442
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 8: Rins has played over the last three years? I guess

443
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 8: just how much would you like to see him continue

444
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 8: here in some capacity you talk to Jimmy Castle, whether

445
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 8: it's interviewing for that head coaching job or for keeping

446
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 8: this defensive system.

447
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a great question.

448
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 7: Me personally, I have so much love and respect for

449
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,760

Speaker 11: to kind of get the stay one.

465
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 7: In the regulation mm mm to be let's see. To

466
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 7: be clear, honestly, I think that we need like assertiveness honestly,

Speaker 7: like you know, just holding people accountable, holding holding guys accountable.

468
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 7: Like I said, we we all nobody played great. A

469
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 7: defense didn't play great all year. I mean we played well,

470
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: but you know, we just didn't play complimentary football. But

471
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 7: even just holding the offensive guys to a to a

472
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 7: higher higher standard and and making sure that guys are

473
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 7: doing what they're supposed to do and uh, you know,

474
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 7: just holding guys accountable when they're not. So I think

475
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 7: just someone that's gonna that's gonna hold people accountable and

476
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 7: hold people to a high standard.

477
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: Kevin addressed the team this morning.

478
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,080

484
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 7: and and talk to him, and he he talked to

485
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 7: the entire team and but he's just very grateful and

486
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 7: uh for the time that he's been here with everybody

487
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 7: of history emotional on what aspects obsessive, nah D, I

488
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 7: didn't get a upset feeling, you know, I didn't get that.

489
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: Then, Joe.

490
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 16: When you talked to Jimmy Haslim this morning, he said that,

491
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 16: you know, like you'd expect an owner to say, eight

492
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 16: wins in two years doesn't cut it. But he also

493
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 16: said that he felt like the team was good enough

494
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 16: to win.

495
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 4: The Age Game.

496
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: Parts one, do you agree with that? In two? Why

497
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: do you think it was some difficult watch two years

498
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: to that?

499
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 10: Boss?

500
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that we definitely have the players coaching

501
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 7: everybody like we're capable of winning more than the games

502
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 7: that we won, but we obviously didn't. And you know,

503
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 7: think things are gonna change and and and and have

504
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 7: to change, and you know, we gotta find a way

505
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 7: to get this thing rolling and uh and what was

506
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 7: your last question? The last part of question what what

507
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 7: do you think needs to happen to.

508
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: That.

509
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 7: Well, Yeah, I think the biggest thing like from this

510
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 7: year is, uh, we gotta play complimentary football like we.

511
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 10: Didn't do that. We didn't do that this year.

512
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 7: You know, like when the offense wasn't playing well and

513
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 7: defense was playing well, it j it just doesn't go well.

514
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: Or defense wasn't playing well and offense may have been

515
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 7: playing better, then it just th that's not winning football.

516
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 7: You can't win uh a lot of football games when

517
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 7: you're not playing as a team and you not playing together.

518
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 7: And if we could do that better and do that

519
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 7: well special teams, offense, defense, then we go find ourselves

520
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 7: winning more games.

521
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: My spirit to talk to the other day about how

522
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: uh you snap.

523
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 12: Out for more rebuilding that uh you know that he

524
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 12: wants to see uh a strong witness to winning as

525
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 12: soon as possible.

526
00:24:59,720 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

527
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: And I'm just wondering and he's probably gonna gives.

528
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 17: Some team player.

529
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: Uh just wondering what are your thoughts on on that?

530
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 17: Uh?

531
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 18: And then also would you have any input at all?

532
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 12: And just like I know it's about your favorite would

533
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 12: you talk about, Kay, we're.

534
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: Gonna have a winning quarterback and is that gonna be?

535
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: And and what are those discussions would be like and

536
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: what are your goals?

537
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm I'm not sure what the discussions will be.

538
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 7: You know, if if anybody aks me any questions, you know,

539
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 7: I'm more than willing to give my input, uh from

540
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: that aspect. But you know, I'm just here to continue

541
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 7: to do do my role, and that's be the best player,

542
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 7: best cornerback in this in the NFL and on this

543
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 7: team and be a leader for this team. And uh,

544
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: that's why I plan to do. So however that comes about,

545
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 7: that's why I plan on doing.

546
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 12: After you don't have like a re you know, justt

547
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 12: youre to let them know or like Miles will, but hey,

548
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 12: if we need to get your winning next year as.

549
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: Soon as possible, because you got the streatt.

550
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 7: Vents, so you share those, Joab, I think it. I

551
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 7: think it's already clear that everybody wants to win and

552
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 7: we need to get to winning football and and changes

553
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 7: will be made. And I mean you already seen that

554
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 7: with them letting the coach go, that changes are being made.

555
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 7: So I think I think it's all. It doesn't need

556
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 7: to be reiterated that we need to get to winning football.

557
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 7: Think it's kind of already known that we need to

558
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 7: start winning some football games around here, and and we're

559
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 7: gonna do what we got to as a team and

560
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 7: an organization to.

561
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 10: Make that happen. Will leave it again?

562
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 7: I sure hope No, I hope I hope they don't.

563
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 7: We don't get rid of my guy.

564
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 10: Shorts.

565
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 7: Man, that's that's my guy. Like I said, that's he's

566
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 7: a great coach, and uh uh, he's a great part

567
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 7: of the foundation on this team. I feel like and

568
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 7: the and the coach that I feel is, you know,

569
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 7: could get us to where we want to go. Do

570
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 7: you think you guys are as as a team as

571
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 7: a roster to turn things around you in this Oh,

572
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 7: I think we're pretty close. I think we are close.

573
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 7: I said we didn't. We haven't played great as a

574
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 7: team all year, but I mean what we've won, well

575
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 7: five games or whatever, and I mean we played good

576
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 7: football throughout the year. But we just need to clean up,

577
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 7: clean up a few things, clean up his penalties and

578
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 7: a few things on both offense, defense and special teams.

579
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 7: And I think we could We're close to changing this

580
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 7: thing around.

581
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: Yall. Did Kevin not hope you guys accountable enough?

582
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 10: You no I didn't.

583
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say that he didn't hold us accountable enough.

584
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 7: I think I'm just saying that what we need in

585
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 7: a coach, that's just what I think that we need.

586
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 7: I'm not saying he didn't do that. I'm just saying

587
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 7: for a future coach to come in, I think we

588
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 7: need somebody that's gonna hold us everybody accountable and hold

589
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 7: us to a high standard.

590
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 18: He Denzel, do you talk to teammates about the possibility

591
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 18: of Shorts as a head coach, and if so, do

592
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 18: you think it's a popular opinion.

593
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: In the locker room?

594
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 10: Say it one more time.

595
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 18: If you talked to teammates about possibility Jip Schwartz's head coach,

596
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 18: and do you think it's a popular opinion what you're

597
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 18: saying about.

598
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 10: Him in this locker room. I believe so. I believe so.

599
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 7: But ultimately it's not my decision. You know, I'm not

600
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 7: the one that signs the checks and uh and does

601
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 7: all these things. I just get my input, and you know,

602
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 7: you could.

603
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 5: Take it or leave it.

604
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 7: But I said I got much respect for coach Shorts. Okay, yeah,

605
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 7: I'm good.

606
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 10: I'm good.

607
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 7: He g God caught me good.

608
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 6: In the game.

609
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 7: But now I'm good though, feeling a little sore, but

610
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 7: yeah I might. Yeah, nothing crazy, is it?

611
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 15: Because those the last three games and you guys went

612
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 15: to Chicago up here since freezing cool, but like the

613
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 15: last three games against those beat pits, right, beat Cincinnati.

614
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: Just what was that saying about the.

615
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 16: Team and and and and why do you think you

616
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 16: guys really had that free name effort when you know

617
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 16: things were where they were season wise and.

618
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 7: With the speculation of yeah, I think that just goes

619
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 7: like off her question, like do we feel like this

620
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 7: team is close to winning games and and being a winning,

621
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 7: winning organization, Like we're beating beating teams that are competing

622
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 7: and playing in the playoffs and and you know we're

623
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 7: we're beating these uh playoff teams and contending for Super Bowls.

624
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 10: So I mean, we're right there.

625

Speaker 16: What does your off seasons look like that she's gonna

634
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 16: turn the page.

635
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,640

Speaker 17: First of all, I just want to say that, you know,

651
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 17: shout out to Kenna Man six six years success, you know,

652
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,240

653
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 17: he's gonna land on his feet and.

654
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 10: Stay around the game.

655
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 17: So you know, he's got a lot more to offer

656
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 17: it to some other teams out there. So now our

657
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 17: relationship has grown over the past you know, six years,

658
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 17: we gotten closer. So you know, I appreciate him for

659
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 17: everything he's done for the team and myself honestly, So, uh,

660
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 17: start for saying that, And it's surprising, yes, you know,

661
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 17: but we didn't have success this year or uh last

662
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 17: year as well, so you know.

663
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 6: We know that we gotta be better and.

664
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 17: You know, I know that they're gonna take steps to

665
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 17: do that, and we gotta do our part as players

666
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 17: as well.

667
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 10: So great you think that haven't deserved to be.

668
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 17: Uh, you know, I don't think that's my decision, but

669
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 17: you know, I think I know this league is uh

670
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 17: based off of success and results, so you know, of

671
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 17: course somebody has to you know, it's gotta be somebody's

672
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 17: far at the end of the day.

673
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 10: And you know, so that's that's.

674
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 17: The job of a That's just it comes with being

675
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 17: a head coach and a player in this league. You know,

676
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 17: it's a it's a result based league. So you know,

677
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 17: you know, we know we just gotta be better.

678
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: Create to you felt, uh, eight Quinns in the last

679
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: two years obviously wasn't good enough. Yeah, you guys, that's

680
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: some team later than that.

681
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 14: Do you agree with that and then also too, why

682
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 14: you weren't year.

683
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 17: More use Yeah, I mean I I think to the

684
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 17: last question, I think that's the question everybody would wanna answer, right,

685
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 17: Oh you would, but you know, I obviously it wasn't

686
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 17: good enough. A wins in two years. Is it's not

687
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 17: what we in the business of doing. You know, we're

688
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 17: in the business of winning, and we weren't doing h

689
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 17: enough of it. So you know, something's gotta change or

690
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 17: something had to change. And uh, you know it's not

691
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 17: just you can't pig it on one person of the

692
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 17: wins and losses, so it's a it's a it comes

693
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 17: down to everybody, and.

694
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 10: You know, we just need more wins next ye.

695
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: To concern the as a result of this, Schwartz.

696
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 17: May league, Uh yeah, that would be concerning, you know.

697
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 17: I I think that I said, I think we've had

698
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 17: over the past three years accumulated you know, number one defense.

699
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 17: So I think it goes with out saying what kind

700
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 17: of coach he is and the the energy he brings. Look,

701
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 17: I I think coach Schwartz is gonna be a uh

702
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 17: A great he still got it help, you know, type

703
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 17: of head coach.

704
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: So you know he's a.

705
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 17: Fiery guy and uh, you know I votched for him,

706
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 17: so and uh, I think that he's taken our defense

707
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 17: and and brought it to an elite level and kept

708
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 17: it there.

709
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 10: So uh showed the coach Schwartz.

710
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 11: So think it's Alonzo's lines, uh grant, whether it's the Chid, whether.

711
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: It's somebody else. What do you think the organization needs

712
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: some sort of their next leader or that.

713
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, Uh, you know, I don't make those decisions, but

714
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 17: you know I I would just say it's simple terms

715
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 17: of uh a good leader, you know, uh, a leader

716
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 17: of men, and somebody's gonna be firing and and help guys,

717
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 17: you know, get to that mentality of you know, playing ball,

718
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 17: Cause I I think it's more than just exiting those

719
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 17: in this league.

720
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: And I think you need.

721
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 17: Uh somebody that you you know, somebody that's not afraid

722
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 17: to leave in the front.

723
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, ys are close enough to look up a

724
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: few changes, hit more with this next season than you did.

725
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah after two years.

726
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think, as we know, this league is the

727
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 17: wins and losses are just like you walk in the

728
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 17: tight rope, you know, and.

729
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: It's not that.

730
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 17: You know, we don't have every piece it's just putting

731
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 17: some guys in the right positions and and stuff like that.

732
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 17: Could be as simple as changing the few positions or whatever.

733
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: You know.

734
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 17: So obviously we are great, good players a e NFL.

735
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 17: It's it's the best, you know, kind of competition we're

736
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 17: gonna get. So I think we got the pieces manager

737
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 17: that putting together.

738
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: Did he your baby talk to the team?

739
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 6: Yeah?

740
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: What was his message? And what's your trust level with him?

741
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: He's gonna run the coaching surge and stick around and

742
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 5: try to fix.

743
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 10: Him and we we all know it.

744
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 6: Be is a very smart guy, to say the least.

745
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 17: The message to the team was just and everybody stay together,

746
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 17: you know, be smart in the offseason. Appreciate Kevin for

747
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 17: what he's done, and you know that's that's.

748
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: The main thing.

749
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 17: So you know we we lead, uh, the the genius

750
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 17: work to him.

751
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 10: Right.

752
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 17: What is like he said, the first time you've gone

753
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 17: into the y'all season not know you want to coach kids?

754
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 17: So what is that on a certain Uh at the

755
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 17: end of the day, you know, I can't make those decisions,

756
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 17: but of course it's not UH. I would say the

757
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 17: idea of both to be in but all I could

758
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 17: do is focus on which you do as a player and.

759
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 10: Let the higher ups make the decisions.

760
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 2: Man to go back to cha.

761
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 8: Mean, there's so many defenses in the league that run,

762
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 8: you know, a similar system.

763
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: To what you guys do with it just seems like.

764
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 10: You're kind of built to, yeah.

765
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 8: Play his style. So I guess how important is that

766
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 8: to you? Would you like to stay in this system

767
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 8: or whatever capacity?

768
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 16: That looks like choice?

769
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 17: Yeah?

770
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 6: It it's different.

771
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 17: You know, I don't think anybody's really lining up one

772
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 17: high defense like us and doing the things we doing,

773
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 17: you know, playing man and in disguise wise and changing

774
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 17: it up. So maybe we'll see it more of that

775
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 17: over the pass uh over the next few years, cause

776
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 17: teams have seen the success. But of course it's a

777
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 17: n unique defense and I feel like, yup, three years

778
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 17: in it, you know, we've uh molded well with it,

779
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 17: so you know, why not keep going with it?

805
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,720

825
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati defensive end Miles Garrett.

826
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: Did you get the record? What was that moment like

827
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: for you? Emotionally, I mean just mentally everything?

828
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 9: And it was everything I expected, and it was it

829
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 9: was so tough. I knew that, I knew they were

830
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 9: gonna make it difficult, but I don't think I saw

831
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 9: more than three singles on a on a real drop

832
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 9: back the whole game. And I just knew that if

833
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 9: I did, I have to make that moment count and

834
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 9: the feeling couldn't be better.

835
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: Did you ever, I know how confident you were. Did

836
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: you ever start to wonder about it? And it was

837
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: only five minutes or four seconds left?

838
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 9: I I think I said earlier about how to dream

839
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 9: that I didn't get it, so like like we gotta

840
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 9: we got deny fate, whatever it is, you know, we

841
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 9: gotta make it happen. And I just went into it

842
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 9: and still at the utmost confidence of myself and my

843
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 9: preparation and in my guys. Man, you know that I

844
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 9: couldn't do it without them. They were supporting me, you know,

845
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 9: trying to find ways to to to free me up,

00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 9: you know, get the chips off me, get the doubles off,

847
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,040

Speaker 2: A off wall line back there.

882
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 13: Exactly Just what was maybe of the conversations like, cause

883
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 13: I know the gym were probably scheming up some stuff

884
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 13: for you.

885
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: To trying to pitch you free.

886
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I felt like Mica out there it started, you know,

887
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 9: move around everywhere and when he was they were just

888
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 9: scheming it up. Trying to get the the chips and

889
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 9: the doubles off me. Uh, I know, he's he said

890
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 9: he wasn't gonna, you know, do anything crazy to nominate

891
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 9: the sack. But hell, they they schemed it up to

892
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 9: to the point where, you know, it was starting to

893
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 9: feel like that. But I mean they he went out there,

894
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 9: tried to win the game, and we made the plays

895
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 9: that we needed to. But no credit to Schwartz, he

896
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,160

897
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,400

00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 9: Grant came in with the the sack a little bit earlier,

899
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 9: and then we we just kept on getting pressure and uh,

900
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 9: you know, the those batter balls came in. Uh no

901
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,080

Speaker 11: years when you've snacked him.

924
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,479
Speaker 16: Did he say anything to you in the moment?

925

Speaker 9: to get to him after the game. And then you

931
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 9: know there were different outlets and parents were, you know,

932
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,640
