How this team maintain. 62 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: That through this Well, I think the first thing is 63 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: is not be too high and I'd be too low. 64 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: I just remaining focus on the work, main focus on 65 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: the progress, you know, incremental gains, and understanding that we're 66 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: doing this thing together offensively, defensively, special teams. You know, 67 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: winning is a habit, and we want to create winning habits, 68 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: not just on Sundays or Saturdays like today, but it's 69 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: the process of winning that you have to enjoy. 70 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: And I think when you love practice and you love it. 71 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: And you compete as high as high as level as 72 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: we do every day and get after every day. 73 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: Makes the games a little bit that much more simple. 74 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing that we want to 75 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: always establish and you have to establish it every day. 76 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: That's a good thing about playing the game of football. 77 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: It's that's one of those things that you have to 78 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: recreate that every day and that mentality.

I think the 85 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: ones kept space. You know, it's really good. You know, 86 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: some really good players on the defensive line for them, 87 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: they did your good job of keeping you know, space. 88 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: For me, receivers got opened quickly and it's an on 89 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: time manner. That's all part of it as well. 90 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: We have great confidence on our offensive line. Man. 91 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: They go against the best guys in the world and 92 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: you know, every day and that makes us better too, 93 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: you know. 94 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 2: And we have guys that are experienced guys. 95 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 3: Hudson's played a lot of football, GVR has played a 96 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 3: lot of football. 97 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: JMS is going to be a star in this league. 98 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: And how he communicates this efficiency of how he communicates, 99 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: you know, Uh, Run has. 100 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: Been playing the game for a long time. 101 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: He's he's he's in his blood, you know, you know, 102 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: he knows how to play the game. 103 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: Uh. 104 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: And and and so I think Jermaine too, you know, 105 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: he's he's a lockdown right tackle. 106 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: He can do a lot of special things. 107 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: And we got guys that with depth coming off the 108 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: bench too, that have great experience and great talent. So 109 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: I think we just got a lot of great confidence. 110 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: I think karm is a great teacher of the game. 111 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: And uh you know, they create that space for us, 112 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: allows us to make a lot of throws. 113 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: You've been around so long, I'm sure you've had some 114 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: type of expectation as to what you thought would happen 115 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: in the preseason opening from what did happen? Better, worse, 116 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the same? 117 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you always assess the film where I 118 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 3: watch the film, study it. I think there's a lot 119 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: of good things today, there's always things that we can 120 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: get better at. That's the constant journey and constant quests 121 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: for knowledge and understanding that we're always searching for. So listen, 122 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 3: it's it's a you know, we we have three of 123 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 3: these preseason games, and luckily we were able to win. 124 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: The first one. 125 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 3: Not luckily, but we established ourselves to be to win 126 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: the first one. Second second one is coming up. 127 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: We'll get ready for that. And just I think it's 128 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: a championship approach. 129 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 3: Is just every every time you step between the white lines, 130 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: it matters, and there's no days off, there's no like, 131 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: you know, one matters more than the other. Obviously as 132 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: you keep going and you get tighter and tighter later. Yeah, 133 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: but I think that if they all, if they all 134 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: matter to you and to us, it gives us a 135 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: great chance. And so I think we established that today 136 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: and we do it again. 137 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: What about the progression of you sa the tone to 138 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: start the game, then Jackson maybe carrying it, carrying it 139 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: over to finish. 140 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: This first half. 141 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 142 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: I love how we went foard and fourth and one. 143 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: I loved how we competed. I love how I mean 144 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: Wandell's route on the side that was a big. 145 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: Chunk, big play. 146 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 3: We made some good plays I think god knocking the 147 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: field goal down, getting back into field goal range after 148 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: a penalty, just staying poised, not panicking. 149 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: You know. I think that's a big part of championship 150 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: teams too. 151 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 3: How do you respond to adversity, And I think we 152 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: did that, you know, I think, you know, offensively, you know, 153 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: Jackson stepped back in. I think they got stopped and 154 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: then he came back in, got a touchdown, and then 155 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: fast forward we were able to could create some momentum 156 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: and then I think James came in made a great throw, 157 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: you know, in the back corner with a snag. I mean, 158 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: just two plays in a row, and then you know, 159 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: Tommy did a great job, you know, keeping that pressure 160 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: on him. So I think our defense did a great 161 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: job though. That turnover was huge for us to recover 162 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: that fumble, to give the defense credit, to give us 163 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: a chance to close the game out.
