1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Say, fun, how do you look at this next game? 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: You have obviously two to go. 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: Uh, same way this NFL. Go out there, compete, you know, 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: try to win. That's a go every week, go out, 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: try to try to find a way to win the 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: football game. And doesn't change obviously, you know in two 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 2: weeks we'll be going home. So uh, well, the monseter 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: trying to finish season as strong. 9 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 3: As we can. 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: Has it gotten all of those you know, not getting 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: into the play I mean, I know last year you 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: did have the runs, he had the taste of it, 13 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: but how disappointing is it not to follow that up? 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: I think it definitely sucks more knowing uh, like having 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: a feeling of playing in the playoffs and. 16 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 3: Going there this season prior. 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: Uh, you know obviously that was the expectations to make 18 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: the playoffs gain this year, but you know, we fell short. 19 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: Uh. 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: There's a lot of games that we wish we could 21 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: have back to be in a different scenario coming into 22 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: week seventeen, But that's not the case. And the case 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: is we have two games left, and we have a 24 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: tough opponent whos playing really well, and I think they're 25 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: still continue to fight for the playoffs. So you know, 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: even get their best shot. And as competitor, that's what 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: you want. So our job is to go out there 28 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: and compete and try. 29 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: Best to come out with a win. And we gotta 30 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: be ready to play great football, all three phases. 31 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: As you being a leader on the team or one 32 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: of the leaders, do you sense that there's any of 33 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: an attitude with some people we're just playing out the season. 34 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: Or is everybody having your attitude? No, let's win these 35 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 3: two games. 36 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: I think everyone's kind of focused with the same attitude 37 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: that you know, not only that I have. 38 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of just. 39 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: A message from the coaches, from from Dave's you know, 40 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 2: to go out there and win and compete. 41 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: That's that's what the NFL is about. 42 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: And obviously, like I said, it's unfortunate that we're not 43 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: in scenario we can continue to compete and make the playoffs, 44 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: but there's a lot of people that would love to 45 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: be in our position. So you just gotta keep that mindset, 46 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: go out there, play at a high level, and try 47 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: it best come up with a win. 48 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: Like every other week. How hard is if you're not 49 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: to think about your future? Uh? Yeah, I feel like 50 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: everybody's in a different position. 51 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 2: You know, some people you know have I want to 52 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: know that this or last year here technically like you 53 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: never know you could sign back or not. Some guys 54 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: have multiple years deals with their hair. Me personally knowing 55 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: that you know, the future is kind of unknown. Uh, 56 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: it definitely crosses your mind. But you know, I just 57 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: try to take in every moment and just enjoy my 58 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: time and go out there and compete with my teammates. 59 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: Uh. You know, that's kind of the mindset that I've 60 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 3: been having. 61 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: Obviously, the futures on certain you know, my contract situation 62 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: last year was a hot topic, but I feel like. 63 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: Whenever that happens, I'll worry about that then. 64 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: So just live in a moment, take care of these 65 00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: last two games, and focus on the Rams first. Definitely 66 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: definitely would be uh an important thing to definitely a 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: goal of mind to get, not just selfishly, uh for 68 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: for the officer line. 69 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 3: I feel like it's a big thing. 70 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: Uh A thousand yards maybe even more hopefully, And you know, 71 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: a year like this where we had a lot of 72 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: ups and downs and a lot of adversity and me 73 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: being injured missing a couple of games. Uh, you know, 74 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: I feel like definitely wouldn't would have hurt with the 75 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: things I want to accomplished in my career, So to 76 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: definitely go over minds and I would love to do that. 77 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: And I feel like, you know, me accomplition that would 78 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: be a big thing only for myself, but off the 79 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: line too. Uh yeah, I mean I can't take you 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: nothing away from him. That's one of those things where 81 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: uh just miscommunication. 82 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: That happens. 83 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, he's got to do a better job, 84 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: mean locked in a correct situation. I'm uncle take anything 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: away from him. He's a heck of a player and 86 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: made a great play. Uh you know, probably had idea who's. 87 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: Getting the ball? 88 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: Were running it there, but he jumped it. It made 89 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: a great play. But we definitely can help ourselves out 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: a little bit more. And that stuff you gotta learned from, learn. 91 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: From and can't let it happen again. I just wanted 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: to Simon, who appreciates history so much? Can you appreciate 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: going up against Darreon Donald? Yeah, I'm excited for that one. 94 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: Probably shouldn't say that. I don't want to get you know, 95 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: you know they say don't poke the bear. Uh, you know, 96 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: my mindsets, I really don't. Whoever we're you're going up against, 97 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: I don't you know, that doesn't that doesn't bother me. 98 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: But knowing you know how great of a player he 99 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: is and arguly arguably probably the greatest defensive player of 100 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: all time. I mean, I guess you it's between him 101 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: and probably law and Taylor. Uh, It's definitely gonna be 102 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: fun those like as a competitor, you want to go 103 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: up against a guy like that, you know, you know 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: he gonna give you your best, and you want to try 105 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: to have performance against a guy like that. 106 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: So definitely a little extra motivation too. 107 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: Have you passeds, have is your have your paths crossed 108 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: at all? You and Aaron in any. 109 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: Or anything? Nothing like that. I don't think so. Actually, 110 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: not that I remember. 111 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: I probably met him before, but I think it definitely 112 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: would be the I know this would be the first 113 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: time I played against him, and like I said, I'm 114 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: super excited, not just him, the challenge of that whole team. 115 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: They have a great team and have a great have 116 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: a really good defense, and the defense you're playing great. 117 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: They've been playing great as a team, so it's gonna 118 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: a fun challenge. 119 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: I know you addressed this in Philly for the most part. 120 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: But if I may to be out of the playoffs 121 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: means what though, because after last year, I'm assuming that 122 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: maybe there was some heightened you know, anticipation that you 123 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: could continue the run, and the run you know, obviously 124 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: stopped after just the one appearance last year. 125 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it serious. Yeah, it kind of like 126 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: I said, it sucks not being there. 127 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: You definitely want to build off that. I definitely do 128 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: think we have the talent on this team. But one 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: thing I've learned, and I've kind of always known, uh, 130 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: each year's new year. This year, you know, wasn't his 131 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: senior and for whatever reason, obviously there's a lot of 132 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: stuff we could have done differently, and we just accomplished 133 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: that goal. 134 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: So it's my fault. 135 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: Next year, it's a reset and every team in the 136 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 2: league have the same goal to try to complete for football, 137 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and compete complete for football. 138 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: Last student of the game is William's a different kind 139 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: of running back? Where is he just a guy who 140 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: isn't flying under the radar? 141 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: To be honest, I haven't really got to watch him. 142 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 2: I got to watch him a little bit against the Saints, 143 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 2: and when when they played last Thursday night. Got to 144 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 2: watch him a little bit obviously, like knowing the backs 145 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: and seeing how well he's doing. I actually haven't like 146 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: got to really sit down and watching film. So I'm 147 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: excited to watch him play. Hopefully is playing really well. 148 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: Hopefully he doesn't play well against us, But like you said, 149 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: being still in a game and being a fan of position, definitely, 150 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: you know, when I get the opportunity to be able 151 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: to sit down and watch all these guys, he's definitely 152 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: someone of that. I'm gonna try my best to watch 153 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: and study him and see the reason why he's been 154 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: so successful this year.
