And joining me 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.280 as he does each and every week, John Cojemmy, I'm 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.560 Kim Bokamper and not a lot of stuff to get 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.279 to today. When we look at during the show, we'll 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.880 we'll take a look back at at the game against 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.440 the forty Niners. We'll have an opportunity for us sit 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.040 down to sit down with wide receiver Preston Williams, who's 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.160 starting to really starting to pick up hit the pace 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.200 of his game. And then we'll go behind enemy lines 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.120 after that and take a look at our next opponent, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.800 the New York Jets, and we'll have xs and bows 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.239 to wrap things up. But John, before we do that, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.720 let's look back presented by Morgan law on the San 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.080 Francisco forty Niner game and John, this one I thought, 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.040 really there was a couple of things early in the 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.680 game that that kind of set the tempo for me. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.080 Once certainly coming out being able to stop the Niners 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.039 uh Niners in their first possession, to make a force 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.800 him to punt, and then going down put points on 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.120 the board. And then the Niners come back and they 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.440 get in a situation where you know, they go for 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.679 that fourth and one and uh and you're able to 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.400 stop him. And I thought, just I thought as the 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.560 game progressed, I kept looking back at that play and 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.720 just thinking about scoring a touchdown, stopping him and then 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.840 stopping him in that fourth down really kind of set 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.640 the tempo uh and and and kind of set the 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.440 feel for what this game was. Like. I agree with you, Kim, 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.440 because the defense really did set the tempo in that game. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.520 You go three and out, especially on the road, and 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.600 you feel like that you're you're you're getting some rhythm 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.680 early defensively. You know all the explosive plays that have 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.000 happened against the Miami Dolphins over the last two or 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.520 three or four weeks that you had to put a 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.240 stop to him. And I think the defense did that 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.840 on their first set of downs, and then the Dolphins 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.680 come back with an explosive play of their own, going 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.760 down the sideline to Preston Williams. He gets things started. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.160 They score on their first two opportunities, and you feel like, hey, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.440 this might be like the Jacksonville game again on Thursday night. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.960 You might get on roll, but you're playing a superior team. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.240 Are they going to respond? And I think you know 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.640 to your point the fourth and one that the Dolphins 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.840 come back the stuff Agba does a great job. I 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.440 thought the defensive front, the tackle has really got a 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.120 good push inside with Christian Wilkins and those guys, and 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.720 Baker was there as well. And then the fake punt. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.120 You know, there's there's opportunities in a game where you 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.520 have to seize sees those chances. And I thought last 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.160 week against Seattle, when the Dolphins didn't go for it 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.000 on a fourth down, they end up kicking another field goal. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.760 I think that might have played into the into the 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.000 mind of the head coach and Brian Flores and saying, 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.840 you know what, I think we're We're in a better 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.440 shape positionally as a team in this one. But let's 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.680 let's possess the football and not give it back, not 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.080 let get a chance to get back into the game. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.600 So I thought there were some key plays in a 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.919 really dominant performance by the Dolphins. Yeah, that that gay. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.080 I think it was a thirty to fourteen at that point, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.519 forty Niners had just scored, and you go, hey, we 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.920 still they're still time in this game. And then the 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.760 Dolphins go on, go on the fake punt on fourth 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.359 and in short make it and they're able to They're 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.840 able to put a touchdown on the board and really separated, 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.639 and really I think at that point it was all 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.880 over but the crying for the forty niners. But but 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.079 it all, it was all built up by everything that 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.960 had gone on before. And first of all, I got 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.320 to talk about Ryan Fitzpatrick another game you know, you got, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.560 you got, I don't know, pretty pretty big percentage of 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.640 people down here, Dolphin fans clamoring to see two and 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.520 Went two are gonna play. Went's two are gonna play. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.840 And every time Ryan you know, misses a receiver or something, 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.680 get two in there and he just keeps holding on. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.640 And he had one of those games last yesterday or Sunday. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:58.400 I'm sorry, um, three touchdowns, three fifty yards on the football. Uh, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.480 it spread the ball around to a lot of receiver's, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.600 got Gaseki back involved, and and you talked about you 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.800 talking about Preston Williams and DeVante Parker and all those guys, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.040 and I just thought the offense really played well. And 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.680 John with Robert Hunt being kicked in there and having 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.440 to play right tackle for the first time, Jesse Davis 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.320 flipping over the left tackle, and I gotta tell you, you 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.120 you know, we can talk about it right now, I 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.520 mean going through still, you know, the the offensive line. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.040 You know, you didn't have to talk about them, talk 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.040 about him very much, and you know, it's it's good 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.440 to have not to be able to talk about an 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.640 offensive line because they're playing so well and playing so consistently. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.800 And I think that's what we saw out of that game, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.839 especially even even with those moves, which which is another 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.000 step for me, which is just really starting to make 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.600 me believe in this offensive line moving forward, not this year, 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.640 next year, the year down, because this is such a 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.600 young offensive line and to see them being able to 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.839 grow into each other as as three rookies playing a lot, 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.520 the other young guys they're playing a lot, I think 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.880 it boats well for what this offensive line is gonna 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.000 be like moving forward. Well, you know everybody coaches always 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.760 say it takes all eleven, you know, on offense, on defense, 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.120 on special teams, and it does, but you have you 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.920 need an orchestrator, and Ryan Fitzpatrick's that guy right now. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.000 Everybody always is clamoring for the second guy, whether it's 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.560 the fifth pick in the draft, the first pick in 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.800 the draft. They always want that guy out there playing 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.000 for your team. But Patients is probably on the side 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.600 of the Miami Dolphins because like it or not, Ryan 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.760 Fitzpatrick gives this team the best chance to win each 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.880 and every week. And he showed that again on Sunday. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.359 He was magnificent. And you mentioned the offensive line. I 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.400 thought that was a terrific job done by a rookie 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.120 getting put in a tough spot. You know, you get 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.799 a couple of days of practice, there's really no pads, 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.359 you go out and you play a seamless game. You 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.200 didn't even notice Robert Hunt was playing in the game. 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.800 And that's a great thing. He didn't notice it because 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.760 of his ability to take that spotlight and be ready 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.279 for it. And I think you credit the other four guys. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.800 Jesse moving from right to left Uh, the guy next 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.080 to him and Solomon Kinley doing a great job, the 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.320 two rookies together that might be there for a long time. 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.080 And getting back to the explosive play, Kausiki had a 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.240 one seventy yarder down the field, a twenty two yarder 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.480 you know, over the top on third and goal from 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.400 the twenty two you know, the Davante parker, and then 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.640 two big plays from Preston Williams on the four catches, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.160 especially the one down in the middle for the touchdown 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.880 where he cradles it gets into the end zone. I 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.039 just thought that that matched with the takeaways and the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.039 number of quarterback hits and the sacks by the defense, 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.800 Miami was just too much for the forty niners on Sunday. Yeah, 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.440 and you talked about the defense. Uh, you know, it 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.839 really came together and I thought played certainly their best 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.599 game of the year. Was nice getting seeing Byron Jones 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.560 back there and X comes up with another interception, You 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.360 get an interception from Bobby McCain. Uh, you got to 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.279 force fumble, you know, So a lot of lot of 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.800 good things on the defensive side. But I think the 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.560 thing to me, John, like even even we've seen the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.599 defense over the last few weeks start to get better, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.720 started tighten up a little bit a little better, and 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.880 run defense a little better. On pass rushed a little bitter, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.000 and pass coverage. It all seemed to come together against 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.560 the forty Niners because they got pass rush and they 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.200 got in a number of ways that you know, they 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.040 blitched a number of times that the forty Niners couldn't solve. Uh, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.920 they were able to get pressure with a fore man 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.840 rush and let guys get back and cover. They're able 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.239 to do all of those types of things. And and 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.120 and I think the one thing that that that I 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.000 really wanted to see improvement on from the prior week 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.800 and and the weeks prior to that was eliminating the 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.080 big chunk plays, not allowing the your opponent to come 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.920 down and in it. I think in the in the 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.640 against Seattle, I think I counted ten or eleven chunk 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.720 plays against the Dolphin defense. And and in this game, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.960 I think there was one, maybe two that you would 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.840 call a chunk play, but they fizzled out and didn't 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.800 really go anywhere. So, you know, as much as you 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.040 look at this offense and with the offense did I 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.360 thought it was a game I thought it was a 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.760 game that you can you can you can just as easily, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.520 you know, pat the back. So those guys that that 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.280 played defense out there against U still a pretty good 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.480 football team with some really talented players. You George Kittle, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.560 maybe maybe with one of the top two or three 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.000 tight ends in the National Football League, and he was 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.800 all but all but forgotten on Sunday, arguably the best. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.680 You know, the week before against the Eagles, he had 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.760 fifteen targets, he had fifteen catches, uh, you know, for 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.120 well over a hundred yards. He had four catches for 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.160 forty four yards in this game. So Eric Row did 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.320 a magnificent job, and I think Josh Bowyer, the defensive coordinator, 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.200 did a really good job preparing the Dolphins for multiple looks, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.040 especially up front that front seven. We haven't said Jerome 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.640 Baker's name in a long time. That's not a good 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.679 thing for the Miami Dolphins defense. And and a number 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.360 of times we saw a fifty five flash against the 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.600 forty niners. That's a great thing when you have him 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.320 rushing and pinning his ears back and being able to 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.240 get in multiple fronts where you see guys five guys 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.040 on the right side of a center and maybe two 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.120 guys to the left, and you don't know who's dropping. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.760 That becomes an identification problem for the for the opposing lineman, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.800 for the tight end, for the running backs, and I 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.440 think that led to a lot of pressures against the 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.000 forty niners, and it really led to those five sacks, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.840 that eight quarterback hits and the two interceptions. So overall, 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.480 but this was a team effort. You don't miss in 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.120 your field goals. You have a good punning day, yeah, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.840 you cash in on explosive plays. I think at one 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.200 point I kind of we were nine of ten in 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.800 possessions on offense and we got scores. So there was 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.920 some really good stuff for the Miami Dolphins in all 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.920 three phases. And that's how you you become a dominant team. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.320 I'm not gonna say anything about Jason Sanders. I don't 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.200 want to be one of those golfing now, so we'll 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.680 just we'll just let sleeping dogs let him go with 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:51.000 the offensive lineman's exactly. All right. Welcome back to the 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.800 audible presented by Automation. Time now for our sit down. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.000 Got Preston Williams and here's a guy, John We saw 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.120 him last year at training camp. He was flashing it 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.079 seemed like every day. Then he got the opportunity to 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.040 to play in this was the season started and really 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.880 was one of the breakout players for the Miami Dolphins 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.560 last year. Gets injured and and and I think right now, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.680 I think we're just starting to see the close to 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.400 the Preston Williams that we saw last year before he 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.320 got hurt. You know, I think there's been some times 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.160 where he's kind of been, you know, trying of feeling 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.960 his way around out there. But I think we're starting 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.040 to see Preston Uh at his best. And I think 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.600 there's still a lot left in uh in the tank 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.440 for him as we move forward. Well, I think he's 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.880 gaining confidence with every game and every practice. I think 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.880 that in the back of his head. You know, this 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.160 is his second e c L one in college, one 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.280 in the pros last year, and he's only played thirteen 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.760 football games for the Miami Dolphins. You know, this was 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.679 the first time he was able to eclipse a hundred 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.640 yards and he did it on only four catches, so 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.360 he had career highing yards. Um He's he's a big 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.040 target on the outside for what the Dolphins want to do. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.680 And he's a great compliment to Davante Parker, Mike Kasicki 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.400 because he can dominate one side of the field and 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.880 he really dictates coverage. So I think Preston, as you said, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.080 he's coming into his own a little bit more closer 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.160 to the guy we saw a last season before the injury, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.200 and he's an upbeat guy. He's a young player, another 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.840 young player that shows promise for years to come in 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.280 in a Miami Dolphins uniform. It was nice to see 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.600 Mike Gasecki kind of getting back into the flow last 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.839 couple of games. I mean like he's caught everything that's 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.120 thrown his way. He was targeted twice in the last 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.040 two games, caught both balls and been both of them 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.640 pretty pretty tough catches. But he got a little more, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.680 a little more action out there, and you know, I 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.160 think he's gotta he gotta, he gotta get out there 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.800 before the games and tug on. Ryan Fitzpatrick said back 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.840 from Jersey, but say, hey, hey, big fella, don't don't 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.319 forget that I'm still out here. You know, he's gotta 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.840 pull that old nat More trick and make sure he's 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.640 the last guy to tap the quarterback out of the 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.880 huddle to make sure he knows where he's going. That's 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.959 exactly and no doubt about it. But no, it's nice. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.240 Nice to see him getting back and uh and and 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.880 you know, Miles gaskon again continue and used to You know, 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.760 he's not setting the world on fire. He's not putting 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.960 numbers out there that are that are gonna blow your 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.199 socks off. But he's giving you productive yards. He's putting 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.240 you in good situations second and medium, second and short 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.440 those types of things. Now, you know, don't get me wrong, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.240 I would like to see, you know, it'd be nice 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.880 to have, you know, a running back or a couple 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.000 of running backs will really break out and have some 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.360 some big games. But he's catching the ball well for you. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.000 He's blocking when he needs to block, and he's giving 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.680 you some some impetus in the running game when he 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.240 gets the opportunity. And I think it's gonna help. With 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.440 the addition of seeing Matt Breda being installed in the 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.079 offense a little bit more, I think it's gonna help 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.760 Miles because it's gonna take some of the pressure off 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.120 of the running game and also in the passing game. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.680 Both of those guys are so good in the open field. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.880 When they get their hands on the football, they usually 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.400 make the first guy miss. And that's a good sign 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.400 coming out of the backfield when you're getting a four 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.680 yard pass and you turn it into a fourteen yard 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.400 game and you're moving the chains for that offense. So 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.600 I think Ryan Fitzpatrick right now, the way things are 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.040 going up front, he's gonna have a lot of time 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.880 to to it. Can choose his weapons on the outside. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.360 All right, So we kind of kind of get a 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.640 little way from Preston. So let let's get back. Let's 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.760 get back into it and uh and listen to what 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.560 your conversation with Preston John contemning here was wide receiver 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.439 Preston Williams and Preston. Uh, First of all, congratulations on 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.160 a great victory out West against San Francisco. How was 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.120 the team? Uh? During the game and then maybe after 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.960 in the locker room, you guys had to feel really 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.319 good about what you accomplished. Uh, you know, going to 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.440 the game, you know it was just real lot. Then 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.840 I'm just trying to execute. You know, he's playing a 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.280 real good team in the four nights. They got a 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.800 good little squads, so you know, you just want to 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:40.160 play a bus game. Uh, you know we execute that areas, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.240 so you know that helped a lot. And then after 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.400 the game, you know that win and feeling that win 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.880 and feeling I always feel good. So yeah, it has 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.160 to put a smile on your face and something else 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.719 that probably made you happy or made you smile. How 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.720 cool was it to open up with a shot play 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.480 you first played from scrimmage forty seven yard completion? Talk 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.840 us through that route, maybe what you saw in coverage 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.319 and if you felt like it was gonna be successful 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.720 or not. Uh, you know, we were just preaching all 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.840 week it was gonna take shots on these guys. Uh. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.160 And then the first play of the game, it comes 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.440 a shot um the corner out there. He was he 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.720 had eyes in the backfield looking at fits. So I 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.920 end up getting in this blind spot and fishes through 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.720 a great ball because are and there let me run 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.800 under it. So you know, it was just a good 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.520 pitching catch for all of us that that aren't receivers. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.480 What does it feel like when that ball is just 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.360 kind of like hanging in the air and you're going, 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.640 you know, as fast as you can. What what are 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.560 you thinking that's the only thing that matter at that 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.360 point right now? You know, just me getting that over him, 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.160 like I wanted more to him, so you know, you know, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.640 just my whole mind said, you know, just catch everything. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.040 So you know, you you had four catches for a 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.840 hundred and six yards. It was the first time in 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.520 your career you went over a hundred yards. You had 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.360 a recreer career receiving yards at one of those sex. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:02.880 Did you know you were having that type of game 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.680 during the game or was it just like, hey, give 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.120 me some more. I just want I just want to 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.920 keep contributing. I just want to keep making catches and 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.120 keep us moving so we can score points. Uh, it 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.440 was more just you know, I just wanted to make plays. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.800 You know, whoever you threw the ball too, you know, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.000 as you know, my mind set would just catch everything, 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.480 like I said, So if he threw my way, you know, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.080 I wanted to make the most out of my opportunity. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.840 Uh didn't. I didn't know what my yards was, but 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.320 you know, I probably I had a good idea that 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.360 I was running a lot of d D routes. So yeah, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.040 well when you were running those deep routes, especially on 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.520 your touchdown pass, you ran faster than any wide receiver 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.840 had on the field all day. What did you know 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.440 in your mind to set up that corner? How you 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.240 had to beat him? And can you talk us through 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.960 that process? Because Fitz took a heck of a shot 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.160 in the pocket and he was able to get you 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.080 the ball? What were you thinking about getting open for him? Uh? 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.640 He actually got me audible, I was I was out there. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.840 He looked out out to me. He was like, just rhyme. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.800 I was like, okay, if that don't work right, the 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.200 nickel blitzed the corner platt over and the safety of 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.240 the top of the head end up getting too wide, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.920 So I just split both of them fish. You know, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.560 he just laid it out there for me. He took 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.040 the heads. You know, he took a hit, so I 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.760 gotta make the catch from that. So yeah, it works. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.360 It works both ways. And you know something else that 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.920 works both ways. You're making plays. Devonte is making plays, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.760 Mike's making plays in the passing game. Do you guys 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.280 feed off of each other when you see somebody get 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.680 you know, like a chunk yardage? Players he sold to 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.920 make a tough catch. Does that kind of get you 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.720 guys all going, Yeah, we definitely feel off each other. Uh, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.080 you know, it's the energy thing. You know, Devantey made 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.920 plays just think you have. They're making incredible catches. You know, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.160 we all just feed off each other. Just say, you 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.600 beat running down the sideline, which you should have scored 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.360 on in my opind hey, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.680 We feed off that. You know. You know, we knew that, 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.520 we knew we needed that, go into that game with 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.560 no fans too, So it's just you know, he's feed 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.239 up the defense too. It was giving defense energy and 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.280 defense giving us energy. Well, the good thing about it 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.399 was you're right three and out by the defense. You 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.760 guys go right down and score after your big play. Uh. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.720 Is that kind of thing you you build on in practice, 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.359 Like you you work your way in practice and you're 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.960 taking shots, you're doing things, and all of a sudden 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.040 it happens in the game. Does that make you want 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.000 to get right back and kind of get back to 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.760 that mentality of grinding and out during the week so 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.959 you can happen a little bit easier on Sundays. Yeah, definitely. Uh, 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.400 you know, practice made perfect. You know, it's one thing 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.000 you know, you gotta practice what I'm saying. More you 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.760 pressure your crafty, the better you're gonna get at it. 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.520 You know, we just try to play compromentary football out there. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.240 You know. Uh, defense is getting a lot of time overs. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.679 You know, every time they turn up all over we 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.640 want to you know, contribute and score off that drive. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.240 So you know, it's just it's all. It's all about 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.119 execution and just coming football. And like you sell me, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.960 tell me the relief you feel a little bit about 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.320 not having to get on a plane on a Friday 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.600 and go back out west to Denver, and now you 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.320 get a home game with the schedule coming back out, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:24.800 You get the Jets at home, you get to play 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.679 in front of your fans. That how to make you 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.400 guys feel really good. On the way coming back from 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:34.680 San Francisco. Yeah, you know, we wasn't. Uh no, I 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:40.639 was thinking about it too much. If it's cool that 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.399 we're getting the home game as we actually you know, 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.520 we're coming home play, so you know it's pretty cool. Uh, 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.400 you know, me being going to Colorado State and then 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.560 pushing the game bag. You know, so now I'm kind 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.480
