Hey? Doing good? How you guys going? Dude? 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: I asked Sheldon richardson this after the game? What happened 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: at halftime? You guys were a different team after intermission. Yeah, 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, Toll talked to us a little bit. We 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: knew we weren't paying up to our standards. We used 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: to turning the ball over and not turning the ball over, 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: and that's something we didn't do in the first half, 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: and you know, guys were disappointed. Uh, you left the 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: game in the veteran's hands. Where a veterans head, he said, 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: team and guys who started decided to go out there 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: and make plays. Man that's all it all came down to. 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting. Tom Bowls has been talking about 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: you all season and he's been talking about how you've 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: been playing on both sides of the line. You've been 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: playing different positions, and I know you love doing that 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: because it shows off your versatility. But as you as 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: you found out that your role was going to change 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, how exciting was that? What was the 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: challenge and learning the different roles in different schemes that 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: you have with top Bowls now, I mean it was 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: really exciting. I probably myself on being a versatile defferensive lineman, 29 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: being able to play alongside the whole line. And uh, 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: he pulled me in his office before camp and told 31 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: me that they're gonna move me around a little bit, 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: and I was excited. Man. That's that's why I love 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: to do. I like to be in multiple positions. I 34 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: think the unique thing about our defense is that we 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: have so many versus tile. I let it guys that 36 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: you can were interchangeable and so it's hard to tell 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: where somebody's gonna line up at any different given time. 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I think you might have surprised the Redskins there early 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: on in the game with how many of four men 40 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: of affronts you guys employed? Uh, how excited do you 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: get during the week to see the game plans that 42 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: these guys are coming up with. And um, speaking of 43 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: of both Todd Bowls and Casey Rodgers, Yeah, it's it's 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: never the same. I think a lot of people were 45 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: saying after the coach game they were so surprised that 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: we were lining up in four three a lot. You know, 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: last week we did a little bit more three four, 48 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: and then this week more again of the four three. 49 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: The thing is, it's just fun with his defense. You 50 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: never know what the defensive scheme is gonna be the 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: weekend and week out, And I think that's a great 52 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: thing for us because it's hard for officer teams. The 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: key on us is what's also has gotta be fun 54 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: is that your ability to rush the passer with your 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: other guys along that line. Mohammad Wilkerson, they got shown 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: richardson back. Uh, you know those guys and you getting 57 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: a chance to rush the quarterback, which is what defensive 58 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: lineman just love to do. Pressure on that. Just your 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: thoughts about the different angles in the different schemes that 60 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: you can do that with. Yeah. The thing is we 61 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: have so many different guys I can play, um one time, 62 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: it could be me Leo Moor shouting out there. It 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: could be me snacks Sheldon or bowling out there. I 64 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: mean the thing is, like I said, we're so versatile 65 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: that it's a great thing for Our defensive line is 66 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: the deepest defensive line I've been on, and we enjoy 67 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. I think it's a lot of 68 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: people don't know if we challenge each other more than 69 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: probably offensive lines or other teams challenge does. Um. We're 70 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: always at each other's neck, like I ain't heard your 71 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: name and I know while you're gonna make a play today, 72 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: like what you're doing. So that's a great thing about 73 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: our defensive line. We're very competitive. How emotional was that 74 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: do you think for Sheldon getting back there with you 75 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: guys on the field. Oh, that's great. Anytime he's out 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: on the field, you just feel the energy. The guy 77 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: plays with a high motor. He has a lot of energy. 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: He's always smiling and having a good time. So it 79 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: was great to have him back in the fold and 80 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: to get out there and get that continuity back with him, 81 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: you know, It was just as Eric and I was 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: talking about. It was just such a difference in that 83 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: second half. But I want to go back to the 84 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: first half and just how you guys were able to 85 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: minimize the damage even though you had to turnovers except 86 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: for one opportunity you kept watching the audiend Jones. Yeah, 87 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: we pride ourselves on being able to stop them wherever 88 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: they get the ball, and that's something we emphasized all 89 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: week go on. No matter where they office gets the ball, 90 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: our jobbers to protect that goal line and hold them 91 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: to you know, field goal to temps if offense does 92 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: happen to turn the ball over. You know, we actually 93 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: gave up one touchdown earlier. We were mad about that, 94 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: and we're actually able to hold them to you know, 95 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: to field goal to Temps. I mean the guy I 96 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: think made with a fifty four yard field go So, 97 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: I mean we did a good job there, but we 98 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: would like to get that that one drive back if 99 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: we could, and not give up seven and hold them 100 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: the three. When you guys are on then and you're 101 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: preparing uh for your next series out there, are you 102 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: able to enjoy what's happening offensively right now with Chris 103 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Ivory and Brandon Marshall taking over games. Well, not right away, 104 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: because of course, when you come out the field, you 105 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: gotta do adjustments and see what you know the offense 106 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: was giving you and what looks we had. That way 107 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: we can moving forward, you know, make adjustments on the run. 108 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: You know, after a while the offense is driving for 109 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. Then we get to actually sit back, 110 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: relaxing and actually look at the jumbo trying to see 111 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory running guys over, Brandon making spectacular catches. But 112 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: right when we come up the field, we don't we 113 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: don't get to really get to watch the offense. This 114 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: locker room seems special. This locker room, the guys, they 115 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: just seemed to like each other. They seem to get 116 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: along and listen, that's not easy with the big locker 117 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: room where guys you don't get on each other's nerves 118 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: and stuff like that during the season. Is that what 119 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: makes it that way? Why is it just like such 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: a good camaraderie in that. I just think it's a 121 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: mutual respect that the guys have for each other in 122 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: the locker room. Another thing is, in the past we've 123 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: had younger teams. This team is really veteran heavy set. 124 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: I think I have a lot to do with it. 125 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: You know, Todd already said he was gonna give the 126 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: veterans the locker room, and I think everybody is taking 127 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: his cue from that and everybody. You know, if everybody 128 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: doesn't like each other, we all respect each other and 129 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: we love playing with each other. So I think you 130 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: can see that on the field when we go out 131 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: there on Sundays. You know the guys that you're living right, 132 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: he has your back no matter what. I know you 133 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of leaders in that locker room, and 134 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm around there every day. Who do you point to 135 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: and say, hey, those guys are kinda the people we 136 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: look up to around here to set the tone. Well, 137 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean there's so many. There's so many veterans. I 138 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: would say vas Brandon Marshall, fits Crow, I tried to 139 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: be a guy myself, Um, David Harris, definitely, Calvin Pace 140 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and so many veteran guys, Willie Cologne, um, the britishall Mango. 141 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: So many guys that you can feed off, Guys that 142 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: you can look up to when you if you're a 143 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: younger guy to follow around in the locker room. Communication 144 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: is always something you guys talk about week after week 145 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: after week after week. How is that communication? How much 146 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: better hasn't gotten and what's the challenge to keep it 147 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: at that level? Yeah? I think we've taken numerous steps 148 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: since the beginning of O t a s and training camp. 149 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you learn a new defenses, there's gonna 150 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: be some wrinkles that guys aren't used to and communication 151 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: is key and that's something we've talked about. Like I said, 152 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: since O t A's offseason workouts camp and our communication, 153 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: I feel it's gotten better and better as the week 154 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: gone on. We still haven't. I don't think we've gotten 155 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: to the peak where we need to be, but it's 156 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: it's night and day from when we first started learning 157 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: a new defense. What are you most proud of? Your 158 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: number one in red zone defense, number two and takeaways 159 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: with number one in overall defense, number one in points allowed, 160 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: what are you most proud of? Uh, that's a hard 161 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: one to us. We've really emphasized takeaway, So it would 162 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: have to be a top between takeaway and points allowed, 163 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: because if you hold an opponents a low points then 164 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna most likely win the game. But if you're 165 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, plus three in the takeaway category, you have 166 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: chance to win the game. So I think those two 167 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: would be at the top of my list. Do you 168 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: think it was gonna all come together so quickly? Because 169 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: there were a number of pieces added here this offseason, 170 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: whether they're veterans or not. As Antonio Camardi sends us 171 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: some messages out there, I'm not really surprised the veterans 172 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: that we got brought in. There were guys that are smart, 173 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: they can think, guys that have been on winning teams. 174 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, we brought crow back, Rivers back, Brandon Marshalls 175 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: played at the top of this league. The one of 176 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the top receivers for the longest fits is a guy 177 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: that's played a lot of years in this league. So 178 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm not really too surprised that the communication factor came 179 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: in as quickly as it did, just because of the 180 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: pieces that we brought in. Eric mentioned Christopher christ Ivery earlier. 181 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: You go against this offensive line every day. What's the 182 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: difference in this line this year from previous years? They 183 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: just seem to be more physical more what's the difference. Yeah, 184 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: I think it's just the scheme that we put in 185 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: this year, and I think it's suited better for Chris 186 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Ivory as far as downhill counters powers. It's a more 187 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: physical brand of football, and guys like Willie Colonne are 188 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: built for that. Um, guys like Brno Jacomini built for 189 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, we got winners that's been playing. 190 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: He's built for something like that, a physical run game, 191 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: not so much far, not so much zone schemes and 192 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: and everything like that. It's it's we're we're right here, 193 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: we're lining up, we're gonna run power stop us. We're 194 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: gonna get four yards four yards, and we're gonna pop 195 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: one for twenty something yards. And I think those guys, uh, 196 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: they love that. I mean on run days, those guys 197 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: are juice up man that they love to get after it. 198 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: And it's just it's just I'm I'm so glad that 199 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: everybody is getting to see Chris Ivory nationwide. The guys, 200 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: to me has been one of the best running backs 201 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: in the league. He's quiet guys with a lot of 202 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: people don't know about him. But it's it's just good 203 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: that he's finally getting a little bit recognition because he 204 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: deserves it. U leg you know what this week is 205 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: gonna be like obviously a New York team, the Jets 206 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: going to play the Patriots, agreeing to white four and 207 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: one so far this season of the funding Super Bowl 208 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: champions five and old. But I love the approach your 209 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: head coach is taken and you guys have followed suit. 210 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: What do you think about what Todd said today? Winning 211 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: isn't going to make us, Losing isn't going to break 212 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: us exactly. I mean I would say in past that 213 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: we've got wrapped up into this game. Everybody knows the 214 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: why people we have with those guys. Um that dislike 215 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: we might have for those guys, but Todds had it best. 216 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: It's it's the next game. This is round six for us. 217 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: We're just trying to stack wins right now. That's where 218 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: it comes down to. Um, it'll be great, you know, 219 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: to get this division win, But like you said, it's 220 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: not gonna ruin our season. It's not gonna make our season. 221 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: We win this, We're not like, oh we're going to 222 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We lose this, We're not gonna drop 223 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: our heads and be like we're not going to the playoffs. 224 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: So I think it's just the next game. And you know, 225 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: they're a good team. We're a good team and it 226 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: should be fly on Sunday. They're not going to show 227 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: you anything you haven't seen, right, You've seen You've seen 228 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: a lot of them over the years. Is there a 229 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: danger of trying to outthink them in the sense of, Okay, 230 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: this is what they normally do, so if they do this, 231 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: we know we should do something like that because it's 232 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: such a on the point that you see so often. 233 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: I think that's what a lot of people do when 234 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: they play them too. They tend to overthink it. I mean, 235 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: we know that Gronk is gonna get his plays. You 236 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: know they have a good running back in Lewis. This 237 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: year he was playing outstanding Um al Mondola, Amadola and 238 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: Aldam and a Growth both great receivers. Um, you just 239 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: can't overthink it. Usually I go out there and play football. 240 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you've been playing this game your whole life. 241 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: You know what to do once you get on that field. Yeah, 242 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: there's such a healthy respect there. Uh. But I really 243 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: liked Larry what I heard out of these guys in 244 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: the locker room today and what leg is telling us 245 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: right now, and Antonio Cormari is gonna follow up with it. 246 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: In a few moments. As the general feeling is from 247 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: Eric Decker said today, we haven't played a complete game yet, 248 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,359 Speaker 1: and we have a lot of corrections to make. Offensively. 249 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: You can point to the turnover special teams wise unfortunately, 250 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: uh give up a touchdown late on the block punt. 251 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: There are areas where this team can say, hey, we 252 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: can improve. Exactly what Decker said, we haven't played a 253 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: complete game yet, so it's scary to think that would. Uh, 254 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: we're not having playing a complete game yet. We're four 255 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: and one still, you know, so like the sky's a 256 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: limit for this team. We still got a long way 257 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: to go. We're just, like I said, we're just trying 258 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: to stack wins right now. And that's what's the most 259 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: important thing. Now that you were at the NFL boot 260 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: camp broadcasting, does that change how you see the media 261 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: since you're kind of going to be on the other 262 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: side of it, How does that change? Do you appreciate 263 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: more of what the media does and and and have 264 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: got the better understanding of it? Definitely have more of 265 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: appreciation of what you guys do day in and day out. 266 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean we went me and Crow actually went to 267 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: the broadcast boot camp together and literally man fifteen hour 268 00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: days just research, research, research, research, research, research, and remembering 269 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: statistics and and knowing what your next bullet point is 270 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: gonna be is. It was an amazing experience. I think 271 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: anybody trying to get into broadcasting, journalism or anything should 272 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: definitely do it. Are the former players out there that 273 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: you watch broadcasting right now and say, hey, they're doing 274 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: a really good job. And even if they didn't play 275 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: there at the Pinnacle, they're very good in this profession. Yeah, 276 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: there's actually a couple of guys I try to watch.
