1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,600 Speaker 1: You brought. 2 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 2: Kyle said, like, do you like a lot of people 3 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 2: in the first half maybe missed some things could be better? 4 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: Were you thinking that there were some miss throws and 5 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: what was the mentality going in that third quarter? Yeah, 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: definitely thought I had some some missed opportunities obviously for 7 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: big plays, but just completions in general in that in 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: that first half, especially on third downs. And so you know, 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: for me, I was just being real with myself and 10 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: knew that I had to be better, especially for our team. 11 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 2: Man defense is doing a great job in that first half, 12 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: and and for us, feel like we just stalled on 13 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: third downs and a lot of that was on me. 14 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: So uh went in, went in uh to halftime, just 15 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 2: talk about our plan for the second half. And from 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: my from my mindset, it was like I got to 17 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: get back to basics and just keep thinking simple in 18 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: my mind and still playing with conviction but being aggressive 19 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: and and uh just trusting to my guys. And so 20 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: uh that was the mindset, and Uh, I thought we 21 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: went out and for the most part, executed a lot better. 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: George Kittle, Yes, yeah, Now he did a great job, 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: man doing his job creating some separation. Man, you get 24 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: the ball in their hands five six yards and they 25 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: make one guy miss. Man, it could be a big game, 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: and that's what he does really great. So uh, definitely 27 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: blessed to have Georgia on my team. 28 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: Where it looked like a screen set up the debo 29 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: on the far side and then you tucked it and 30 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: ran when when it obviously wasn't open. 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: Was that by designed? Was that not an option there 32 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: or did you just yeah, no, it was a There 33 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: was a screen for debo and they just had a 34 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: guy right on him. So I just tried going with 35 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: the flow of where the play call was called and 36 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: got a good game on it. Well, it was your 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: team just played in the third quarter. 38 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Obviously his team was down. 39 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: At the half, came out of score twenty four as 40 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 2: the points. It was definitely a tale of two weeks 41 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: for you in particularly in the third quarter. We'll talk 42 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: about how specially you played, particularly third quarter stretch. Yeah, man, 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's four quarters for a reason. In 44 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: the sports the NFL, you can come out hot and 45 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: stall or vice versa, and it takes everybody man off 46 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: defense special team. So I saw the rest of our 47 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: team was clicking. Man, It's like, all right, I have 48 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: to do my job. And so third quarter came out 49 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: and just like I said, kept it simple, but also 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: played aggressive and you know, just try to do a 51 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: coach called and hit guys when they were open and 52 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 2: keep it simple, move the ball, not try to hurt ourselves. 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: At first half, man, were just that was the main thing. 54 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: Is we had plenty of opportunities, but we just kept 55 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: hurting ourselves and so that was the mindset and we 56 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: were put up some points so that you were rookie, 57 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: what's it like when you see a guy like Isaac 58 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: Cava game that he did tonight. Yeah, Man, extremely happy 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: for him. The way he comes to work every day 60 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: and stuff, and and the chip that he has on 61 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: his shoulder. Humble dudes is always you know, asking questions 62 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: and wants to make sure he's doing everything right. So uh, 63 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: for him to do what he's doing right now for 64 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: our team, Man, I could be happy for hims. And 65 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: I get it, man, being a rookie coming in with 66 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: some guys on the team and some big names and 67 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: the huddle and everything, you know, you can sort of 68 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: be all struck in a sense. But he's coming in, man, 69 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: just he doesn't care he's grabbing the ball and running hard, 70 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: So I appreciate that about him. Tracy, thank you. You 71 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: mentioned trusting your guys and you obviously you had Georgian Debo, 72 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: you had a lot of new face on the field. 73 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Take kind of how is that chemistry built over the 74 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: last week or so that you can feel like you 75 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: can trust them? 76 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously we've gotten a lot of work 77 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: on on the field practice and and just honing it 78 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: into you know who we got playing, and so this 79 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 2: week was was great for all of us, especially the 80 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: young guys Ricky, Jacob, Chris Conley and then obviously George 81 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: and Debo being able to step up and lead those guys. Man, 82 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: we have some new faces in the huddle, but with 83 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: those guys and their leadership and experience, man, we could 84 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: always rely on them. And so you know, yeah, really 85 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: that what are. 86 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: You what do you think this team. 87 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: Is going to look like after the Yeah, I mean, 88 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: obviously it's a great week for all of us to 89 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: just continue to rest up and heal up and then 90 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: just be you know, hard on ourselves on the film 91 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: and where we can be better, because the second half 92 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: of the season is everything. Every game matters, and it's 93 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: it's the most important stretch on that. Obviously, you go 94 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: back to the history of this place like this is 95 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: when it matters, and you put your head down, you 96 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: don't look up to the end. So it'll be good 97 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 2: for everyone to get healthy and be ready h come 98 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. And you know that's I think that's the 99 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: main focus and point. 100 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: So against the man coverage, are you finding that you're 101 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: unaccounted for as a runner in those. 102 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: Situations In some scenarios, I mean there's teams that you 103 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: know have a spy on me and stuff. I feel 104 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: like Kansas City did that, honestly, the Cowboys did it 105 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: as well, so like there's there's ways that they can 106 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: scheme that up. But then I think it takes away, 107 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: you know, another pass rusher so that I have a 108 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: little bit more time. So it's pros and cons ale 109 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: of it. Defenses pick and choose and when they want 110 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: to do it. But obviously we still have a lot 111 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: of playmakers to be able to win in man coverage, 112 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: whether there's a guy spy in mere or not. So 113 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's football. You gotta compete and and 114 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: go from there. 115 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: This team this year has really been next man up. 116 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: So when guys like Isaac have a breakout game like 117 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: we saw tonight, does that even surprise you guys or 118 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: you're pretty much expect those kind of that kind of 119 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: greatness to kind of out of players no matter where 120 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: they are in the depth chart. 121 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, just going back to the 122 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: guys that you know, Kyle and John and our organization 123 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: brings in, like they bring in guys that are gritty, 124 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: have a standard for themselves. They come in and they're 125 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: willing to do, you know, what the coaches ask, and 126 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: they see other guys practicing and stuff, and and they 127 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: want to be great. And that's the standard here. So 128 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: when you got some guys that go down, the next 129 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: guy that comes in man has the right mentality, Jordan Mason, 130 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: Isaac and all these young guys, Ricky Piersoll, Like, you've 131 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: got guys that come in with the right mindset of 132 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: continuing to chase greatness within our standard of you know, 133 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: our team. And so it doesn't surprise me at all. 134 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: And we see how he works every day and I'm 135 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: really happy for him. Thanks
