1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: You overall thoughts on pulling that one after. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it feels good to win first season opener 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: of one here. So it feels good, especially in this stadium. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 2: You haven't had a ton of success over here lately, 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: so it feels good. I mean, that's a good team, 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: presented some challenges for us, you know, offensively, pretty sloppy game. Obviously, 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 2: some some good points in the game for us. You know, 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: we made some plays. We ended up making the plays 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: we had to make to win. Defense really kept us 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: in the game. You know, I thought, so I'm only 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: giving up fourteen points. We put them in a bad 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: spot a few times where they got some huge stops 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: and you know, turnover on down some some turnovers. It 14 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: was big. It was great to see them pick us 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: up when we needed it. Obviously, it wasn't a super 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: clean game offensively, there's a lot of things to clean up. 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 2: But you know, can't be too upset with a win. 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: It's hard to win in this league and division game two, 19 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: So that's that's big for us. Good start. 20 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: You chalk that up kind of not maybe all the way, 21 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: but just week one. I mean, everything's kind of new. 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: Do you kind of cast a little of that aside 23 00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: because of Week one. 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, week one is more challenging sometimes for a lot 25 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: of different reasons. I mean sometimes, you know, defenses might 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: do things a little differently. Not to say that the 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: Colts did, you know, I think they stuck to who 28 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: they were and they just did a really good job 29 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: of making things difficult up front for us. Those guys, 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the best fronts, especially the 31 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: interior in the whole NFL. Those guys are really good. 32 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: They make it challenging for you. So they do some 33 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: really good things. They're back end played sticky, they did 34 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: a good job, they're really sound. They just did a 35 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: good job. They put us in a lot of second 36 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: and third and longs, and that's harder obviously from an 37 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: offensive perspective. Your your call sheet shrinks a lot when 38 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: that happens. So we got to do a better job 39 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: of being efficient on first down, We got to be 40 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: better on third down, gotta be better on fourth down, 41 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: I mean all the downs. So but yeah, obviously it's 42 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: a lot more. It's a lot better to be able 43 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: to win, to learn from a win than a loss. 44 00:01:49,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: So it's it's still wins, a win and crazy play. 45 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Go ahead or anybody kind of. 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: I think everybody kind of rallied behind him. Obviously, Uh, 47 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: kind of a weird play. It's like it's tough obviously, 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: get get hit and you don't know if it's a 49 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: funbar and completion, and you know, we we teach our 50 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: guys treat every loose ball like it's a fumble because 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: because that and he even recovered it and then just 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: standing there and they punched the ball ou because the 53 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: wrapped it below of the whistle. So that's a crazy 54 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: play and one to learn from it. To shame having 55 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: to a rookie, because that would have been a tough 56 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: play for anyone. Really, you recover and then you end 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: up getting it punched out, So yeah, just you learn 58 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: from it, you move on. And that just shows the 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: faith that we have in him to put the ball 60 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: back in his hands there and you know, to give 61 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: us that big touchdown and go up ten at the end. 62 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 2: So doesn't concern He's gonna keep learning, obviously, he's a 63 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: rookie and I think he did some good things today, 64 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: So we'll keep getting better. 65 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: A little bit. Like you guys have had some up 66 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: and down early and then you were able to finish 67 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: like that at all. 68 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: To you, I mean a little bit. Obviously, I think 69 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: we started the game better besides the first drive we 70 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: had a three and out, you know, which you want 71 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: to start better than that. But you know, we scored 72 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns early, put a little pressure on them. 73 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: They answered. Then our defense really really bowed up, and 74 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: then we just got sloppy in that kind of the 75 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: second and third quarter, even the beginning of the fourth, 76 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: and we just got sloppy. And I think we could 77 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: have taken advantage of more things out there and really 78 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: put ourselves in even better position obviously going into the 79 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: end of the game, just to put them away, and 80 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: we didn't do that. But it's it's harder than if. 81 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: Like I said, they're not gonna lay down, you know 82 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: that they're doing. They got the same job we do, 83 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: and they're gonna make it challenging for us. And it's 84 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: a good football team. And yeah, so it was a 85 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: good game, and obviously it's it's better when you can 86 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: find a way to win. 87 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: So much about the positive publicity in this preseason has 88 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: been tailored toward the offense, the feeling that this offense, 89 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: but today it just felt like the defense in the 90 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: second quarter when those three consecutive stops kind of set 91 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: the tone and maybe, you know, I don't want to 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: say bailed you guys out, but certainly complimented. 93 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 2: They played great. Yeah, I mean, that's that's the game. 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: It's three phases. It's not about If it was all 95 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: about the offense, you know, we would have been in 96 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: trouble today, you know, and and same thing in different 97 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: games if it was all about the defense. 98 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: You know. 99 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: So it's we pick each other up. We feed off 100 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: one another. That's what makes teams great, and we got 101 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: to continue to do that. There's gonna be a week 102 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: where we're gonna have to pick our defense up. This week, 103 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: they got some huge stops for us that we really needed. 104 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: You know, we had some bad possessions in a row, 105 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: and they were able to come through and get a turnover, 106 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: turnover on downs, just get to a stop, make a punt, 107 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: whatever it was. They played great. Hats off to them. 108 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: I think they played they played with that chip on 109 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: their shoulder, like like you want your defense to and 110 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: it was cool to see him fly around and make 111 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: some huge plays for us years. 112 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: But do you remember your first start in NFL. 113 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: Obviously with Dacan Ridgardson is today it's some good, some bad. 114 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: Did you get catch up with him. 115 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: At the game and then him Yeah, I thought he 116 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: made some great plays. Obviously, it's being a rookie quarterback. 117 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: It's it's a tough spot. There's a lot of learning 118 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: you have to do, and it's just every week learning 119 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: and getting better. And the only thing I told him 120 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: after the game was a great, you know, great game. 121 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: He made some some unbelievable plays, but just try to 122 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 2: protect yourself. You know, these the hits add up in 123 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: this league and they're a little different than in college. 124 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: So I just told him to protect himself. And you know, 125 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch his career unfold. I think he's 126 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: gonna be a great player, and obviously we'll see him 127 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: again later in the season. But that was my only 128 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: message to him, really, just putt yourself. It's a long 129 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: season and I think I think he's gonna be a 130 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: great player. Yeah, like obviously, like today, you know, it's 131 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: I can't really state how valuable it is to have 132 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: a guy like chat not only on the field, but 133 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: just the guy he is off the field. It's such 134 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: a good leader, consistent I mean well, I mean one 135 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: of the most consistent guys in our team. Doesn't matter 136 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: if he's a starter, if he's not starting, if he's 137 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: a swing guy, whatever, he comes to work the same way. 138 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: And that's why you need a guy like that. And 139 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: he's so valuable for us. He can play center, he 140 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: can play either guard. You know, he did a great 141 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: job filling in when he needed. 142 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: To make Calvin Ridley's performance obviously touchdown one hundred and 143 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: some yards. 144 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: It's great. Not not a surprised to me, so I 145 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: don't think it was to anybody, but he played great. 146 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: It was. It was cool to see him, obviously in 147 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: his first game back. I'm sure he was amped up 148 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: and ready to go and just to to play well 149 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: and uh make some huge plays for us. 150 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: It was. 151 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 2: It was awesome. Thank thank you all appreciate it.
