1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts kind of evolved and she saw him last 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: week Week two of last year. Jaylan is looking a 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: lot more comfortable within the offense and scheme wise, it 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: seems like they've put in more concepts that he's more 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: comfortable with and know, he has a really great command 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: of the offense. He's decisively with where he's going with 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: the ball, and he has uh they surrounded with a 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: lot of playmakers, you know, adding a J. Brown is 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: a lot of playmakers around him. Smith Brown, the backs 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: tight ends like they have a really good core of 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: guys who you know, he distributes the bar really well 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: and those guys are really good after they catch the 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: ball of creating, you know, making a guy missed and 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: creating space and uh creating you're getting more yards after 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: the cats. So they've done a really good job. I 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: think of just tailoring the offense around Jalen. That's what 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: makes him look more comfortable. Someone like him who can 18 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: make place with his legs, but also like to like 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: the throw shots and shot plays. How do you kind 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: of strike that balance, if you know, let's make sure 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't eat us with his legs, but also is 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: it going over the top one, and there has to 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: be a good balance with you know, the shot plays 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: and the running like when you're responsible for those shot plays, 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: mainly our corners and safeties on the outside. You know, 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: we know the challenge that we have this week. Guys 27 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: have to go up and be able to make a 28 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: play and they get opportunities when the ball is up. 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: It's an opportunity for us to go up and make 30 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: the play. And it's our aside view it. And when 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: it comes to him scrambling around, right, that's all eleven 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: all right. It starts with our our d line being 33 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: where they're supposed to be and guys who are responsible 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: to go get the quarterback. We just have to do 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: our job. No, we can't make a bigger deal out 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: of it than it is. Everybody has to do their 37 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: job you're supposed to be and we play defense. It's 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: all eleven groups swarming, that's what's gonna help us defend 39 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Running the offensive line capable kind of weed 40 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: your cofensive lines, you know, forcing violence. Their offensive line 41 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: is the is the the strength of that team. Uh. 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: You have two veteran guys there and Kelsey and and 43 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: Lane who've been together for a while and they anchored 44 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: that line. They've done a really good job. Very physical group, bigger, 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: big offensive line, physical offensive line who tries to get 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: after it. And look, we're going to get there a 47 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: really good team, but also our guys are good too, 48 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a physical matchup. We know we'll 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: get their best, they're gonna get our best as well. 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Defensive line on that sting and there are rush lanes. 51 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: Since that Raiders game, they've done a good job. The 52 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Raiders game was was not good. We allowed the quarterback 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: to get out way too way too much, But the 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: guys have done a really good job over the past 55 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of being on it. And we'll have 56 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: to have that same focus, that same relentless mindset to 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: be what we're supposed to be. As we're rushing the 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: quarterback and having awareness that Jalen could get out and 59 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: he may get out, but nobody's gonna panic if he 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: does get out one time. We know this guy's gonna 61 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: make plays. There's a reason, aw he's up for the 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: NFL m v P. He's a really good player, so 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna make some place. Earlier with Fletcher and Brandon 64 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: Graham and in their careers, what do you see from 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: them back then? Is it sort of did you see 66 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: this for that? This kind of successful time. And Fletcher 67 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: and Brandon have have always been just playmakers. They always 68 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: played on the other side of the line of scrimmins. 69 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: I know Fletcher, he first came in as a rookie. 70 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: You saw it right away, the talent that he had, 71 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: the strength that he had. He's separated himself a right. 72 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: So he's been a playmaker for over ten years in 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: the league, and he's been consistent throughout his career. And 74 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: then Brandon Graham on the edge. You know, they probably 75 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: tried to get rid of him a few times, but 76 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: he still finds a way to stick on there and 77 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: still is able to get after the quarterback. So it's 78 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: impressive to see what b g has done for his 79 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: entire career there in Philly. Very guy, a guy who's 80 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: been very disruptive. And they Fletcher and b Z they 81 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: don't change. They're still getting after getting after the core 82 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: of back, making plays or No, it's gonna be a 83 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: tough challenge for offense. Kind of unique challenges. Uh, does 84 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: A J. Brown? Yeah, a J. The first thing is 85 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: his size and strength. That's the one thing that separates 86 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: him from a lot of receivers. But not only that, 87 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: Like when he catches the ball, you know, he turns 88 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: into a different gear right his run after catch. It's 89 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: been pretty dynamic to watch this year. So that's where 90 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: he's up. He's big where he can go down to 91 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: field and uh make plays on the deep balls. But 92 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: also he's just catching the five yard routes and turning 93 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: it up field and turning that into an explosive That's 94 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 1: where he's been really good this year. There was extra 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: juice yesterday or does this business as usual? Man? That's 96 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: what I love about our guys um every time we 97 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: go out to practice. They're the way our guys work 98 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: eating every day. It's consistent and that's what it takes right, 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: not making it bigger than what it is. We understand 100 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: the stakes, understand where we are. We're thankful to be 101 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: playing at this time, but we also understand that we 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: have to go out of execute and play really good 103 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: football on Sunday. We have to be the best team 104 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: within that three and a half hours because you're show 105 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: a lot of emotion on the field and your players 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: seem to respond Why do you feel it's so important 107 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: to to show that? And do you think they respond 108 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: more to you because you are so emotionally involved from 109 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: what we see on TV. I'm emotionally involved because I'm 110 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: excited when these guys make plays. I know the work 111 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: that they put in. I know how much effort, how 112 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: much time, how much sacrifice these players put in. And 113 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: when we go out there on Sunday, the whole world 114 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: gets to see that, right, But I've been seeing it 115 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: all week, and I'm just excited for everyone else to 116 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: see who are guys are and I'm excited to see 117 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: guys make plays.

Or Sunday, Brandon 124 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Graham was telling reporters in Philly Eastern and when he 125 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: played with you, then you would be calling out basically 126 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: what the offense was gonna do before they did it. 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: And you know, so you can sort of tell that 128 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you had that aptitude. Were you thinking of being a 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: coach down? What was your time in Philly like to you, 130 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: that's how I've always kind of studied the game. I've 131 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: always tried to pick up on offensive tendencies. And for me, 132 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: it's always about helping the guys around me. I felt like, 133 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: always if I can help the guys next to me 134 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: just play a little quicker or know their assignment, like, 135 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: then if they're at their best and I'm playing at 136 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: my best and collectively we can go and win games. 137 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: So that's what that was always about, like calling out plays, 138 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: whatever tips I had or indicators, making sure not only 139 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: that I just held them all to myself, but I 140 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: shared them with the guys around me because of this 141 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: because this is a team sport and we win together. 142 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: So that's what you know. B G is talking speaking 143 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: of their and the time my time in Philly, it 144 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: was great. Uh had a really good team, good great guys, 145 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: great teammates there in Philly. It was a great time there, 146 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: made the playoffs one year there in Philly under Chip Kelly, 147 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: was under two great head coaches, Chip Kelly, Andy Reid. Guys, 148 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: I learned a lot from so really good time the 149 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Philly like pointers on what the environment is going to 150 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: be like or do you think last week's last year's 151 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: week too is enough for giving a taste of what 152 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be like. That the environment, it'll it'll 153 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: be hostile, It'll be loud, right as it should be 154 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. Right we're in their stadium, we're on 155 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: their turf. We understand it's gonna be hostile, but we 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: also have to understand you block out all of those 157 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: distractions and you just go and play the best football 158 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you can play for three and a half hours. Comes 159 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: to mind when when you hear, uh, what's the what 160 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: jumps out to you about growth? That's one thing that 161 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Demo has done throughout this entire year, right, He's he's 162 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: shown growth, and that's what That's what being a professional 163 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: is all about. Right, It's where you start out as 164 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: a rookie. It doesn't matter how you continue to push 165 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: yourself each and every day to be better. And that's 166 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: what Demo has done. He's gotten better. He's game more 167 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: confidence and you see it. For the past two games 168 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: He's went out and made two big players that have 169 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: helped us to win playoff games and move on. So 170 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: it's just the growth and it's the mindset to get better. 171 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: That's where a demo is allowed himself to really help 172 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: our teams can get down the players made against them. 173 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: How is he in that regard about being resilient and 174 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: not getting too far out? Playing the corner position is 175 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: is one of the toughest positions because the spotlight is 176 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: always on you. You're you're always highlighted as that one 177 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: on one matchup. So the first thing for a corner 178 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: is you have to have a swagger. You have to 179 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: have a self confidence about you because all you're gonna 180 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: get beat at some point. But it's not about going 181 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: in the tank. How are you going to respond to 182 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: the next play? They make plays? Other guys get paid. 183 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: You go against some of the the best athletes in 184 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: the world player receiver in the NFL, so you're gonna 185 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna make some plays. But how many plays can 186 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: you make? How resilient can you be? You have to 187 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: have you know that next play mentality when you're playing corner, 188 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: and you have to be unshakable when you are at 189 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: that position, because if you are shaken by one play, 190 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna lead to more negative plays. So you have 191 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: to be able to move on from one bad play 192 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: and continue to play. Continue to play, continue to play, 193 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: and things are gonna shake out for you. Brown doesn't 194 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: seem like maybe just completely healthy. A lot of guys 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: are coming like that for this time of year. I 196 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: think he was dealing with the hamstring when he played 197 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: y'all in December last year. What he obviously doesn't need 198 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: tons of separation to do things. What are your memories 199 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: of what he did in that game from last year 200 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: play against a J I remember him just making some 201 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: very physical plays, contested catches, right, And that's where you 202 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: have to be physical with him. Again, He's a big 203 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: body receiver who can go up and make tough catches, 204 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: so you have to challenge him at every point. You 205 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: have to stay sticky. You have to challenge him. That's 206 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: how you make plays against him. Games. I think you 207 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: had a turnover and take away him in sixteen of them. Uh. 208 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: You know a lot of teams that have as many 209 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: takeways you do get like an avalanche five or six 210 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: and then maybe go games. How are you able to 211 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: be so consistent? What's the key to that? The consistent 212 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: consistency for us and takeaways. It's it's who we are 213 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: every every day. Every week, we always talk about the 214 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: ball and the ball is everything, and if you take 215 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: the ball away, you're gonna win games. And that's the 216 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: most important factor on Sunday. It doesn't matter. If we 217 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: can take the ball away, we can create more turnovers 218 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: than the Eagles, right, will win this game. And that's 219 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: what it will always be about. They want to change 220 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: and the history of ball, it's been proven, right, you 221 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: take the ball, win the game. So that's our mindset 222 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: each and every week. That's our that's our key to victory. 223 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: That's our goal every week. How many times can we 224 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: take the ball and put our can we score with 225 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: it or can we put our offense in a favorable 226 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: position to score? All right, thank you
