1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns have wrapped up the twenty twenty three twenty

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: twenty four season to recap day eleven and six season

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: in the playoff birth and also everything that happened in

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: the wild card game against the Houston Texans. We're gonna

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: hear from seven players and from head coach Kevin Stefanski.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Starting the day in the locker room was All Pro

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: guard Joel Botonio. He talked about how his ankle's feeling

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: after getting injured against the Texans and how the O

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: line battled through injuries this whole season.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: What's the stage.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: Of the ankle?

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 4: Not great? Yeah, it's high ankle sprain pretty good one.

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 4: So I didn't feel good this morning when I woke

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: up to go to the bathroom. But I got a

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 4: lot of time now, so I'll be able to to

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 4: get it right, you know, fix my body and be

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: ready to.

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: Roll when the time comes.

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 5: It's still less than twenty four hours since the game ended.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 5: How are you processing this? What are your what are

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 5: your takeaways from this?

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was, Uh, it was a tough way to finish.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: You know.

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 4: I give all the credit to Houston. They came out

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: and played great, and you know, did a good job

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: against us, but we didn't want to end that way,

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: you know, And honestly we thought we were, you know,

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: coming in half like defense gonna stop and get the

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 4: ball back. We go score and you know, the pick

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: six happened twice and then he went for on fourth

31
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: down and to get it. So like in a kind

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: of a six minute span kind of game got out

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: of reach for us there.

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: But obviously the ultimate goals win the Super Bowl.

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: But I don't think it diminishes what these guys did,

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: you know, being resilient this year coming together. I think

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: the culture of this team and where we're at as

38
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: a group of men that just like liked being around

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: each other and you know, want to win for the

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: city of Cleveland, like it's never been higher since I've

41
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: been here. So I think that the future of that is, uh,

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: it is something to look look forward to.

43
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 6: Joe.

44
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 7: How difficult is that to replicate though, because you know

45
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 7: they're gonna be new phases in here. It's not gonna

46
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 7: be the same group that year. How do you try

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 7: to at least replicate that if possible?

48
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you keep the structure here obviously, you know,

49
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: Andrew Berry coach Stefanski, and I think the main core

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 4: of guys is going to be back, and I think

51
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: those guys carry on the culture. But I think we learned,

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: you know, like what it takes resilient and obviously, like

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: you said, each year is different, but I think the

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: main core is going to be back, and the main

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: core can carry that over and be like, hey, this

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: what we went through, Like hopefully we don't have to

57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: go through anything like that again, but this what we

58
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: went through last year. We had eleven wins, we made

59
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: the playoffs, and you know, hopefully that's our our floor

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: now is you know, a playoff team that has a

61
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: chance to win at a Vision and a host a

62
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: playoff game, you know, in the future.

63
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 8: Well, for you individually, I mean this year, I know

64
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 8: you're always being as an offensive.

65
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 9: Binding but the me the back the ankle now.

66
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 8: And we're running frustration for you with the injuries this

67
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 8: year and just having to deal with all that.

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was honestly very frustrating for me.

69
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 6: Year.

70
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: I came into the year and I felt great, you know,

71
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: I was like I'm not feeling old year ten, like,

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: you know, best year yet, and you know from the jump,

73
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: my knee just like wasn't there and obviously got to

74
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: get the surgery. Coming back from that, it didn't allow

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: me to train, you know, practice the way I wanted to.

76
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: And I think that kind of just like snowballs into

77
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: the back, they'll bleak the ankle, I mean, ankles freak.

78
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: I got rolled up on. But you know, all those

79
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: other things kind of kind of add together, and it's

80
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: it's something you you don't want. You don't want injuries,

81
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 4: you don't want to be there. And and I have

82
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: high standards for myself, you know what I mean, And

83
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: I want to live up to those standards I want

84
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: for my teammates, for for the coaching staff and and

85
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: things like that. And being hurt this year definitely took

86
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: its toll.

87
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 10: Joe, do you know how how many coaches from here

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 10: over the years you played for a lot of them,

89
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 10: two yourself.

90
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 9: What can you say about the job that that Kevin did,

91
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 9: And how do you feel like this regime is gonna

92
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 9: be going forward?

93
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 11: In this stability?

94
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 9: It seems like you guys out.

95
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: There, Yeah, I think uh coach and Fantasy has built

96
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: a culture here. It's a resilient I mean, we talked

97
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: about you know, smart, tough, accountable, resilient team. He probably

98
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: says that every day, you know, and and that's something

99
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: we focus on. And I think he's built that. And

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: I think Andrew Berry's built that with the guys he's

101
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: brought in, the people he's brought in, you know, revamping

102
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: the D line this year with the guys that he

103
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: brought in, I think tremendously change the culture on that

104
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: side of the ball. And and you know, for the team.

105
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: But I do think we've built something in and like

106
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 4: I said, I hope it's the start of, Hey, this

107
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: is what we do. This is a minimum. You go

108
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: to the playoffs every year and and hopefully there's more

109
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: to come from that.

110
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 12: Go after ten years in general, with all the stuff

111
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 12: you dealt with this year, used to playing to come

112
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 12: back next year.

113
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, I I I wanna play and

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: I wanna I wanna show I could still play at

115
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: a a very elite level, you know, like honestly to

116
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: myself and t to my teammates like, hey, I you know,

117
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: I still feel like I played well this year, but

118
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: I think there's a more And they always want to

119
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: push yourself to to you know, be at the top

120
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: of your game and I still feel good. You know,

121
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna use this off season to to

122
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: get my body right. But yeah, I planned the plan

123
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: to be back.

124
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: How much do you think everything affected your.

125
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the hardest part for me was just

126
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: not being able to train, like lift practice, like with

127
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: the knee injury. You know, it's almost like you're taking

128
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: a month off and lifting. You know, you come back

129
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: and it's like, oh, it feels pretty good, but then

130
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: you go into a game, it's like, dang, I havena

131
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: take this week off to get back to the game.

132
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: So I think it was just like the little things,

133
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: and then that adds to towards the end of the season.

134
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: You're you're you know, you're back, You're oblique.

135
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: Like all those things where it's like, oh, maybe I

136
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 4: would have been able to lift more earlier in the

137
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: year or practice more. Those things add up. So it

138
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: definitely affected it. And like you said, you want to

139
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 4: be out there with your teammates. You know, I wanted

140
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: to be out there yesterday. It would have been a

141
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: lot cooler if we would have won the game, but

142
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: you know, I wanted to be out there with the guys.

143
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: And and compete with them, you know.

144
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 13: For the for the first team this year after maybe.

145
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: The previous two years. Were you a little disappointed to

146
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: not be on there this year?

147
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I think it's you know, for old lineman.

148
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's kind of like we don't really get

149
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 4: too many stats, so it's one of the cool things.

150
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: I think.

151
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: There's a you know, Thuny is a good left great

152
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 4: left guard in this league, and he's been for you know,

153
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: eight or nine years how long he's played. Tyler Smith

154
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: is is uh a young up and coming player, is great.

155
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: Quinn Nelson, like, there's a lot of good left guards.

156
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: So you know, I was hurt this year. I played

157
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 4: fifteen games, you know what I mean. I thought we

158
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: we did a good job as an online with all

159
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: the stuff that happened around us. But there's a lot

160
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: of good left guards in this league. So if anything,

161
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: it just drives us. You know, we'll have to try

162
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: and h try and get it back next year.

163
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: Are you surprised that seemed like, Uh, Texans attack you

164
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: guys definitely defensively yesterday from that first game.

165
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 9: Uh did that bite you guys off guard a little bit?

166
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: You know, I can't speak to like the coverages you

167
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: know that that we face, cause I'm not really dealing

168
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: with that. I thought their front was pretty similar. Maybe

169
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: they bliss a little bit more than they did in

170
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: the first game.

171
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 6: I think he just.

172
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: Made bigger plays and bigger moments. You know, those pick

173
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: sixes like were We're very tough for us to recover from.

174
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: But they did a great job. They kicked our butt

175
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: yesterday pretty good. And it's kind of sucks in the season.

176
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 10: On that note, overcoming the injuries pretty guys this season.

177
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 10: You know, I know that you guys did a great

178
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 10: job with that, but with so many key guys that

179
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 10: you lost, how much hope do you put in again

180
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 10: in those guys?

181
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I was. I was watching the when

182
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: we were about to play Cincinnati. I was watching the

183
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 4: first Cincinnati game and we were pretty healthy at that

184
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 4: point in the season, and I was like, Nick Chubb's

185
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: pretty dang good at football. You know, he saw some

186
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: of the runs he did. Deshaun was making plays with

187
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: his legs, you know, Jack and Jed were healthy, and

188
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a whole different team. You know.

189
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: I was watching from week one to week eighteen, and

190
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: to see those guys already putting in the work like

191
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: this all like this season, like in the training room

192
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: and what they've done. It inspires me because I know

193
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: those guys are coming back. And I told Nick, I

194
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: was like, I want to be out there blocking for

195
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: you again because I miss you and I appreciate everything

196
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: he's doing to try and get back on the field.

197
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 14: So when you look at the line.

198
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: As its fall and just obviously deal with what just

199
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: goes entice to.

200
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 7: You about what you like to did has and.

201
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: Coming stays where yeah, we had we had a lot

202
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: of different guys have to step up for us. You know,

203
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: I think coach Callahan, Coach Peters, John DaCosta all did

204
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: a great job of getting guys ready to play. You know,

205
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: we thought we had a strong starting fire that was

206
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: coming back. And then obviously from day one, injuries, you know,

207
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: hurt us. I think Dewan stepped up and showed that

208
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: he can be a starting tackle in this league as well.

209
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: And then Dunny like always came in ready when he

210
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: needed to Nick Harris and then obviously he kept moving

211
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 4: down to James and and g and and all these

212
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 4: guys had to step in and make plays for us.

213
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: But to do that and to still win eleven games

214
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: and help protect you know, all four or five quarterbacks that.

215
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: We had this year.

216
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: I think it's a testament to the guys they put

217
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: in the work in practice and training camp to uh

218
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: to you know, be ready to go when they have

219
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: a chance.

220
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 15: What do you feel like the book is with DeShawn

221
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 15: quarterback coming back next year?

222
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: I think it's good.

223
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's he was another one that every

224
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 4: time it felt like we were taking a step, he

225
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: got banged up or hurt. You know, we'd beat Baltimore

226
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: Baltimore at Baltimore with DeShawn. They have a chance. You know,

227
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: they're still playing. They're playing next week in the division game. Uh,

228
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 4: you know, the Titans game, the Cardinals game. Like, I'm

229
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: pretty sure he was four and one, you know, as

230
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: a starter this year with our defense, if they played

231
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: at the level we know and expect them to play too. Like,

232
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: I feel very confident with Deshaun coming back and being

233
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: our quarterback next year. Oh I just uh, a couple

234
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, it got messed up. So I'm trying

235
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: to make it so it doesn't get stuck like that.

236
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: So just wear this thing a little.

237
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 16: You're about the camaraderie and the morale that this team

238
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 16: has has been able to in case. I know it's

239
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 16: probably a little early to say, but how do you

240
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 16: see those bonds you guys built throughout this year translating

241
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 16: through the off season as you guys.

242
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: Try to bounce back on one.

243
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's been cool.

244
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: I mean when you can be together, Like I just

245
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: look at David and I know everybody's talking about David,

246
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: but like when he first came in, he was like

247
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 4: a twenty year old kid from Miami and you're like, oh, man,

248
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: does this guy want to be here and stuff? And

249
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: now he's been here probably what six or seven years now,

250
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 4: you know, and it's like grown into like one of

251
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: my favorite guys to be around, you know what I mean. So, like,

252
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: you just build these bonds, and I think winning helps everything.

253
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: You know, you talk about a culture and stuff, and

254
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: it's like the winning obviously helps that stuff. But you know,

255
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: there's gonna be guys that are here that are that

256
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 4: are working, They're pushing each other and and you know,

257
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: pretty much anywhere you go in the country, you have

258
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: someone that, uh that you played with that that's gonna

259
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: let you stay at their house or go get a

260
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 4: go get a meal with Juli.

261
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 17: You've been here ten years with the senior Pambers last team.

262
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: Sure you have a ton of members from the previous season.

263
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 9: You know, well maybe there were lasting memory. The thing

264
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 9: that stands out the most about the twenty twenty.

265
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: Three seasons a year, I think, I mean the resilience.

266
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: If you're talking about like a specific moment, I think

267
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: the last drive against the Ravens, when when we drove

268
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: down and won the game and that kind of we

269
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: pushed the pile. You know, as a group on offense,

270
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: we always talked about being connected. I think that was

271
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: a that was an awesome moment for our team. And

272
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: I think that was a step where we said like, hey,

273
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 4: we can play with anybody. You know, we have the

274
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: right guys in here, but lots of memories. Uh you know,

275
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 4: Flaco'll be in here and the magic he had was

276
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: something I'll never forget either.

277
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: So it was it was.

278
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 4: It was a great year ended on a very sour

279
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 4: note for us, but uh, you know, I'm I'm pumped

280
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: to be here and hopefully we continue the winning ways.

281
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 12: So you've talked about you mentioned earlier that you think

282
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 12: this could be the four.

283
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 9: Is this the most optimistic keep felt coming out.

284
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 14: Of the season.

285
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

286
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: You know, in twenty twenty when we made the playoffs,

287
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: I was It was the first time I made the playoffs,

288
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 4: so I wasn't quite but I was confident that we

289
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: could get back. And then obviously I kind of fell

290
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: apart a little bit there. But I think we have

291
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: the right the right guys in here, the right culture

292
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: right now. The camaraderie with the room is good. So

293
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: I am confident in this group and their ability to

294
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: uh to get back to the level we want to

295
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 4: next year.

296
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 12: Could could you envision Joe coming back? Would you like

297
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 12: to see a guy?

298
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how that's gonna work, you know

299
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: what I mean.

300
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: I know Joe, he's getting older, you know, he's five

301
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: kids now, But I'm sure we'd welcome him back with

302
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 4: open arms.

303
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: He's a great locker room guy.

304
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: We enjoyed having him here, and he's someone that, you know,

305
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: you have those guys in the roster that are those

306
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: kind of blue guys, and I think he'd be one

307
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: of those guys if he did come back.

308
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 14: What do you rob them?

309
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 15: Cake?

310
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 9: What you had this year as a team, and how

311
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 9: do you carry guy over?

312
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just just keep bringing in the right guys.

313
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: You know, it sucks because the NFL, you're probably have

314
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: like a twenty to twenty guy turnaround, you know, no

315
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: matter what you do. But you want to bring in

316
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 4: the right guys. You want to you know, focus on

317
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: some of those intangibles. But I think the course here

318
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: and when you start from the top down ownership to

319
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: Andrew Berry, to coach Tafanski, to the coaches to the players,

320
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: like everybody's connected right now and everybody has that same vision.

321
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: I think that helps helps out the most.

322
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: Quarterback Denzel Ward was up next. You talked about how

323
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz has helped him grow as a player and

324
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: what happened to the defense when they went on the

325
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: road this season as opposed to playing at Huh.

326
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 7: I know it's you know, the wounds still fresh and everything.

327
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 6: But have you had given yourself any.

328
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 7: Sort of step back and try to assess what you

329
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 7: guys the journey you guys have went through the last for.

330
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 18: Six Yeah, definitely definitely had a great season regular season

331
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 18: and could definitely find a lot lot good to come

332
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 18: out of that, and so just definitely a lot to

333
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 18: be thankful for and go before the guys played with

334
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 18: the season and coaches and what.

335
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: We were as accomplished.

336
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 6: During the regular season.

337
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 9: How do you set a sipe and entertain to.

338
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 10: What happened yesterday and all recognizing what you guys we're

339
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 10: able to accomplish. It's quite an old university in your

340
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 10: face and all your teammates.

341
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's tough. It's tough, but I said, we did.

342
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 18: We definitely had a great season, So definitely don't want

343
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 18: to look past that and all that we were able

344
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 18: to accomplish. We weren't able to execute on our goals

345
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 18: in the postseason and uh make it as far as we.

346
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 6: Would have liked.

347
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 18: But like I said, definitely a lot to be thankful.

348
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 11: For and guys played. U did a heck of a

349
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 11: job doing the regular season. You guys, I mean it's

350
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 11: the off scene.

351
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 18: So now just gotta go away, recalibrate, get your bodies

352
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 18: back right, get ready to come back and be better

353
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 18: for this next season.

354
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 19: What what did your optimism that you guys get to

355
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 19: make the playoffs again?

356
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 8: Yeah?

357
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean we gotta special team. I mean we didn't.

358
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 18: We didn't did a lot with a lot of guys

359
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 18: being hurt, a lot of guys being out and making

360
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 18: it as far as we did. I mean, we were

361
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 18: pushing through adversity all season, all year, and I said

362
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 18: we didn't. We weren't able to execute on our goals

363
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 18: in the postseason that we wanted to. But we got

364
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 18: a lot of hope for the future and what we're capable.

365
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 11: Of, and the guys were going to be getting back.

366
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 9: This defense was dominant when you guys were at home.

367
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 19: It was good on the road, but there was a

368
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 19: clear sweat when you guys were on the road.

369
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 9: What do you make of that?

370
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: How can you resolve it?

371
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 9: How can you be the same defense no matter where

372
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 9: you play?

373
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 18: Yeah, we just got last said, just get away for

374
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 18: the off season and just get better throughout the off season.

375
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 11: We'll get back with the team, find a.

376
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 18: Way to recalibrate, rejuice up and find a way to

377
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 18: be better on the road as well, and take the

378
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 18: home field advantage mentality until away teams as well.

379
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 9: Every year is its own individual story here.

380
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 10: You guys were such a close knit team in his

381
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 10: slack rooms, probably one of the closest and there, how

382
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 10: do you replicate that next year?

383
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 9: How do you carry the culture you had this year.

384
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 18: Going for Yeah, I think we did a good job

385
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 18: of setting that foundation. And like I said, we're we're

386
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 18: a very close knit group and very tight So I

387
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 18: mean we're still gonna be hanging out and being with

388
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 18: each other during the off season and and working out

389
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 18: together and and training and everything. So, uh, just once

390
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 18: we get back, I think still having that foundation and

391
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 18: setting that routine and uh being with one another and

392
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 18: just working towards that goal of getting to the postseason

393
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 18: and uh making a differences probably with Black and to

394
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 18: work together definitely, I definitely think so. I mean, I

395
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 18: I definitely enjoy both of those guys on the team.

396
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 18: They're both highly capable of winning games for us, and uh,

397
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 18: just being a difference for on this team for us

398
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 18: is that when you look at.

399
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 9: How do you assess you guys playing this season?

400
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 18: You said the corners just like just as a unit. Yeah,

401
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 18: I think we're a special group of corners. I'm I mean,

402
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 18: we had a great season. I feel we finished number one,

403
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 18: but I think the biggest thing, I mean, we wanted

404
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 18: to be number one in the postseason and I mean

405
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 18: we we weren't able to get the win yesterday, but

406
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 18: just focusing on the regular season, I think we did

407
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 18: a great job and and helping our team get wins

408
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 18: and and locking our guys down all season.

409
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 11: That's a big credit to.

410
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 18: MJ and and Greg and Cam all those guys. They

411
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 18: did a great job playing this year. UH played hard

412
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 18: for us and UH helped us get wins and get

413
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 18: to the playoffs.

414
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 20: As a team.

415
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: But you, guys, specificity is an event. How important was

416
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: that SI?

417
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: And that was huge?

418
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 18: I think that was a big part of why we

419
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 18: made as far as we did, just how close we were

420
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 18: and able to uh.

421
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 11: Push forward with one another.

422
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 18: We were playing for one another, and so I think

423
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 18: that's gonna be big once we get back and being

424
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 18: able to build upon, uh the foundation that we already set.

425
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 9: Then, Jo, I'm trying already this. But yesterday, what do

426
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 9: you think happened in the first happen.

427
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 20: Remember one?

428
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 11: Yeah? Yeah we didn't.

429
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 18: I mean I still gotta go back and watch the film,

430
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 18: but yeah, I don't think that Uh.

431
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 11: We showed up and played our best ball UH yesterday.

432
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 18: So I mean it's a big credit to the guys

433
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 18: on the other side of Houston. They played a great game,

434
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 18: did a good job and getting a victory over As

435
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 18: They won that game and was able to move on.

436
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 11: So we got to find a way to come.

437
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 18: Back and be better and see how we could advance

438
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 18: next time in the playoffs.

439
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 9: Do you think that kind of experience was for you

440
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 9: with some of your other.

441
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 20: Man tenior for.

442
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 11: Yeah, I definitely believe so.

443
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 18: I mean, I think it's a great opportunity to have

444
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 18: that experience for a lot of young guys, a lot

445
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 18: of guys that haven't been in the playoffs yet and

446
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 18: just see what the atmosphere was like and everything. So

447
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 18: moving on for the future, just to know what to

448
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 18: expect and be better next time. How do you move

449
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 18: on after having such a special season to lose like that.

450
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 11: You probably heard, yeah, kind of move on. It's tough.

451
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 18: I'm still trying to figure out how to how to

452
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 18: move on from it. I mean, I said, we definitely

453
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 18: didn't want to be at this this point, wanted to

454
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 18: move ahead, uh in the p and but don't want

455
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 18: to discredit what we're capable of able to do.

456
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 11: During the regular season.

457
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 18: Guys did a great job, but just gotta find a

458
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 18: way to be better, uh next season and find a

459
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 18: way to be able to advance.

460
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 11: Is that what you look back on the season.

461
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 14: And how good the defense was.

462
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 17: Just you put in perspective just the impact that you

463
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 17: what's had really from the start defense changing the defense.

464
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 21: It seems like you.

465
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 10: Guys are playing with a lot more conference and just

466
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 10: more free and you're able to kind of do some

467
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 10: good things.

468
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 19: So justive, I guess his impact on the defense, but success.

469
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 11: To Yeah, impact is huge.

470
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 6: I mean, uh, like I.

471
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,680

566
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 18: in the playoffs. But yeah, he's definitely gonna be a

567
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 18: problem in the future and a guy that is gonna

568
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 18: be tough to play against.

569
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: Up next was linebacker Jeremiah Wusu Kormo. You talked about

570
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: his future in Cleveland, if you'd be willing to sign

571
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: an extension, and also what happened on some of the

572
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: big plays the Texans hast.

573
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: So you know just how pain was it come to such.

574
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 23: A Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's painful little bit,

575
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 23: you know, when you put in so much work and

576
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 23: uh so much as at stake. You know, so many

577
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 23: people involved to organization, the city, the team, uh us

578
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 23: as individuals and the way that we've worked, So it

579
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 23: definitely is painful. But again you have to, uh, you know,

580
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 23: take an evaluation, take a out of of what uh

581
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 23: the season has made and and what that game has

582
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 23: made and a and learned from those mistakes.

583
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: Did they take those things right?

584
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 19: Did they take advantage of your all's aggressiveness and pursue some.

585
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 9: Of those touchdowns like the you know the uh think that.

586
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 2: Your back the other way?

587
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 10: The uh you know the touchdown dump off of.

588
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: The tight end?

589
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean I don't think they necessarily took advantage

590
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 23: of the aggressiveness that we have. For me, I I

591
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 23: I do believe that it was more so just making

592
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 23: our responsibilities, uh and being specific with those things that

593
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 23: we supposed to do. You know, I I gave up

594
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 23: one when I didn't look up the tight end or

595
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 23: you know, you have some people that you know may

596
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 23: have made some mistakes in the back end, right, I

597
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 23: think that it comes down to just doing our responsibility

598
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 23: and just being patient with our our our jobs and

599
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 23: make sure that we feel both.

600
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 19: Cause a a seventy six years touch down and you're

601
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 19: supposed to step up.

602
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 9: The tight end on that.

603
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 23: Yeah, well yeah, I mean it's a combination of a

604
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 23: lot of things.

605
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, like.

606
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 23: I think we all have to own those mistakes and

607
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 23: the things that we do to make sure the defense

608
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 23: just you know, does our job.

609
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 9: You had a uh terrific season, You're gonna be extension.

610
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 19: Those well, you know, what are your thoughts about you remade?

611
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 9: It a a key piece of this young poor going forward?

612
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 6: You're yeah, I mean I love Cleveland.

613
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,240

614
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 23: you know, uh, you know, Cleveland just despire for me.

615
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 23: But nevertheless, I mean, I think a lot of the

616
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 23: the things come down to, you know, what the front

617
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 23: officer wants to do. Of course, you know, you know,

618
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 23: in my thirty year so I'm not sure how much

619
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 23: you know, whatever shot do you have at at this point,

620
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 23: but I'll just be looking to see what you know,

621
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 23: the front office thinks and then try to get whatever you.

00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 23: that's been us against the world, it's been us against

631
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 23: the league.

632
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 6: And it's hard to take an individual you know, praise

633
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 6: and t and s.

634
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 23: It's it's it's very hard to you know, for me,

635
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 23: I I go back and look at that, which I

636
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 23: shoulda did better, apologize culture, apologize the teams, just because

637
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 23: I think I I could do you know more myself.

638
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 23: So again, uh, I think it comes back to that

639
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 23: and just being accountable and and you know saying, hey, look,

640
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 23: no matter what uh we did individually as a team,

641
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 23: you know, we came into this other team, we Levile

642
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 23: as a team.

643
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 3: The Chimpells were you know, just seemed like you were

644
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 3: playing so fast?

645
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 13: Did you were you in just a witty would you

646
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 13: know what they what was coming?

647
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 3: Or did you would you speed to do that?

648
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 14: How were you care?

649
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 23: I mean yeah, I think it was a combination of

650
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 23: a lot of things.

651
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

652
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 23: First and foremost, you know, you put it in a scheme.

653
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 6: That allows a player to to get vertical.

654
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 23: You you know, have the players in front, you know,

655
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 23: under the defensive line didn't necessarily get it any sacks

656
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 23: or anything. But if you look, you know they they

657
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 23: they did keep those double teams uh pretty well for

658
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 23: us to get vertical. So I'd give credit to them.

659
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 23: And and I mean coach Tarboro did a great job

660
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 23: apparing us as as linebackers to be able to do

661
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 23: those things, uh, specifically in those positions that I was in.

662
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 23: So I you know, it's it's credits to you know,

663
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 23: the coaches, you know, my teammates, but also you know

664
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 23: a lot of the stuff that that you know, they

665
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 23: they they keed in on and and some of the

666
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 23: patients things that you can see, you know from the

667
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 23: position that I was in.

668
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: Do you have a theme when the lock rom up last.

669
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 12: Night was said a bad day to have a bad

670
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 12: gas in you could started that right off the battle?

671
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, something players sometimes for.

672
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 24: The reflection, do you remember that bad dad? Pretty much?

673
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 23: Well, I think the bad day really originates from the

674
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 23: nature of football. You know, sometimes you know you don't

675
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 23: have then necessarily those things that you might and sometimes

676
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 23: you may come out still on top. But for us,

677
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 23: you know, that was one of the bad days that

678
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 23: we didn't come up come out on top. So I

679
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 23: think that again it It originates with the nature of football.

680
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 23: Some days you you have great days, some days you don't.

681
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 23: Some days you execute, some days you don't. I mean,

682
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 23: the battle is to see how much you can stay

683
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 23: consistent with that and and overcoming that.

684
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 6: So it's locking back.

685
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 24: Was that any momental loss by now you play to

686
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 24: carry sim saotball?

687
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: I know, I saw a lot of comment.

688
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 23: I usually don't look at the Twitter stuff, but I I, Oh,

689
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 23: I was on a little so far As thing and

690
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 23: I saw like a notification popped.

691
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 6: Up and it was talking about the s Cincinnati stuff.

692
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: I don't think so.

693
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 23: I mean, I think that pich Uh made a great decision,

694
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 23: would allow us to rest a bit.

695
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 6: You know, a lot of players came out healthy, some didn't.

696
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 23: But think that coach did a great job and a

697
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 23: great decision on ustlers.

698
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 10: Partypularly, Grman, what happened on that uh the long pass

699
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 10: to the tight end?

700
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 6: Where was it?

701
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 9: Where was the break down?

702
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think it was a combination of things.

703
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 23: Whether it was uh my eyes, you know, uh, we

704
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 23: gotta execute on the on the on the tackling part,

705
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 23: you know. So, I mean I think you know, I

706
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 23: I I'll you know, would be the first to take

707
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 23: the credit on my side to say, hey, look that

708
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 23: you know, I should have did better on that play

709
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 23: and I shouldn't kept my eyes on that man and

710
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 23: followed them.

711
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 5: So did your Mind's been a long time since it's

712
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: been sat your own.

713
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 20: Has that a coach here?

714
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: If you guys have established it, how do you sustain

715
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: that when you had.

716
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 9: So much turn to game locker right here?

717
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 6: Man?

718
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 23: I I was thinking about that yesterday too, just trying

719
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 23: to reflect more. And you know, sometimes you know, a

720
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 23: l a loss like that can do priv you know,

721
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 23: the entire season. I mean, I was trying not to

722
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 23: let that, you know, get get a hold of me,

723
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 23: even though you know, I probably wanna say it at

724
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 23: like four am, you know, like you're still thinking about it.

725
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 6: And at the end of the day, I think that.

726
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 23: You know, culture originates with intentionality, and since the the

727
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 23: you know, the off season, we had that intentionality and

728
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 23: that you know, and to be honest, it's not just

729
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 23: the intentionality, it's it's about the organization of it too,

730
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 23: like putting gods in the right position, making sure that

731
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 23: uh the person that's right, and making sure that you know,

732
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 23: we have guys to uh be the anchor, but also

733
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 23: to do you know, be the roles.

734
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 6: You know it.

735
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 23: It's it's so much to a football organization that that

736
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 23: creates culture. But all in all, I think that we

737
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 23: were very intentional and we organized well.

738
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 6: So how do.

739
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 9: You transition that now y'all season? To keep that culture

740
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 9: and that sort of mentality.

741
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 13: You guys who head together and even though you're not.

742
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 9: Gonna be around each other as much in every day

743
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 9: like you have to do.

744
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think I think when culture is instilled, it

745
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 23: it allows you to continue to to be a certain way.

746
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 23: Think culture is actually what sustains you know, the s

747
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 23: the society as as we see it itself, right cause

748
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 23: the culture is established, you know, people act a certain way,

749
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 23: they they live by a certain more codes, a certain standard,

750
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 23: and are able to continue to.

751
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 6: Be in that same mindset.

752
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 23: And I think overall, you know, even though we're all

753
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 23: off season, uh, the culture still lives within us because

754
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 23: all of them know whereas the culture, the culture is

755
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 23: not out there, right, the cultures inside of all of

756
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 23: us as individuals and best person How.

757
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 20: Do you think.

758
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 9: This defense takes the next step? What what's gonna be

759
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 9: to keep it?

760
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, uh, the next step is just one

761
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 6: of the next step is the best step, right.

762
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 10: Uh.

763
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 23: The next step is concerns fixing those misteps, right, fixing.

764
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 6: The things that we did wrong.

765
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 23: And at the end of the day, you know, that's

766
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 23: that's why we that's why we are a team, right.

767
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 6: I think a team.

768
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 23: Has a love for every individual that's within that team.

769
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 23: And and to correct those mistakes, you know, we have

770
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 23: to take a audit or the the you know, it's

771
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 23: some of the main things we did wrong, some of

772
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 23: his own things we did wrong. Uh, some of the

773
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 23: p preparation things we may have did wrong.

774
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 6: Right.

775
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 23: I think that's the next step is just making sure

776
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 23: that we uh get those things off our resume.

777
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 6: A's coach Swartz was saying, do you think there's.

778
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 17: Anything to your young the lights being brighter or.

779
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 21: Anything like that, or you don't think that.

780
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 11: Was it related to at all?

781
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 20: Nah?

782
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 23: I don't think so. I don't think it. I mean

783
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 23: football is still football. You know, a game is still

784
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 23: a game. But at the end of the day after

785
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 23: the playoffs, it does require a certain amount of intensity.

786
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 23: I don't think that it was the lights that that

787
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 23: shocked us or or did not. Maybe we have a

788
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 23: lot of playing loc whov was our starting quarterback, right,

789
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 23: I mean, he's he's been there, done.

790
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 6: That a bunch of times.

791
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 23: You know, We've had guys on the defense that have

792
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 23: been in the playoffs before, guys that won the Super

793
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 23: Bowls already. You know, we had you know, Wan Obol,

794
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 23: you know I do. I don't think it was the lights.

795
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 23: I just think it was a matter of execution.

796
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 10: Can you put in or encapsulating, sort of put in

797
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 10: perspectives in the fact that.

798
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 9: Jim Schwartz had this year.

799
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 17: You see, last year's defense had a lot of issues

800
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 17: and you seem to erase a lot of.

801
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 9: That other than maybe yesterday interview at moments.

802
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 5: Where things came out or just the impact he sound.

803
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 9: And hostimo, but also you individually, cause you obviously had

804
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 9: a great season.

805
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 23: With more Yeah, I mean, I I think at the

806
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 23: end of the day, there's there's a lot of things

807
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 23: that contribute to a team's success.

808
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 14: Uh.

809
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 23: Coach Swarts, obviously on the defense side, is a huge

810
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 23: part of that. And I think for him, like we

811
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 23: have things that are already understood, but for him, even

812
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 23: those things that are understood, he makes uh relevant, right,

813
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 23: whether it's continuously, you know, creating a repetition of Hey,

814
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 23: the best players have to be the most hard working players. Hey,

815
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 23: you know, uh, you know, our weakest link, it should

816
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 23: be one of our strongest peas So, so I think

817
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 23: a lot of the things that uh he will repeat, Yeah, yeah,

818
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 23: I know.

819
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 6: Aywalk, of course, is a huge part of it.

820
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 23: Aywalk is a huge part not only of the defense,

821
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 23: but also of cutting off my interviews constantly this entire year.

822
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 23: Uh So, at the end of the day, I think

823
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 23: Coach Schwartz is an amazing leader and he's able to,

824
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 23: you know, formulate his messages in the way that gets

825
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 23: people going. And whether that, you know, is in the

826
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 23: practice and the walkthrough or in the game. You know,

827
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 23: I'm really grateful for that transpiring. Once our defense and

828
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 23: within myself mixed up.

829
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: Cornerback Greg knew him the second he talked about his

830
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: performance this year and what challenges the defense faces heading

831
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: into next season.

832
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 25: I didn't think we played our best I don't think

833
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 25: we played our worst game. But uh, we didn't play

834
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 25: good enough to win the game. So it's just a

835
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 25: disappointing loss. You know, from everything we've been through this season,

836
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 25: to end that way is frustrated.

837
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't think you played personally.

838
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 25: I didn't think I played too bad. I could have

839
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 25: played better. Obviously he was always saying the fix, But

840
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 25: I don't think I played bad.

841
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: Feel like, Uh, you guys just faced in the playoffs.

842
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 26: Or the young quarterbacks that's gonna be up beginning in

843
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 26: this league that you're.

844
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 15: Gonna have to contend with over the next you know

845
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 15: how many ever years?

846
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 6: Oh for sure.

847
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 25: Yeah, well we'll get a chance to definitely see him

848
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 25: again in the postseason.

849
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 6: Uh, he's unbelievable. Uh what he was able to do

850
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: with that.

851
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 25: Franchise and just turn him completely around and get to

852
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 25: the second round of the playoffs as a rookie is

853
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 25: is unbelievable. So he's definitely someone, uh that we're definitely

854
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 25: gonna see later on.

855
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 10: K Like, how do you reconcile the the bitter beest

856
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 10: from the lost yesterday with what Urem would accomplish as

857
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 10: a team. That's fuite of all the teammates you lost

858
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 10: in in all the university you finished.

859
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 25: Yeah, right now, it's it's hard to like really uh

860
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 25: focus on the good things right now, j just because

861
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 25: we had goals of getting further, So I mean, right

862
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 25: now it is obviously we accomplished a lot as a team,

863
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 25: but you know, we fell short of our goal. So

864
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 25: I think we did a good job with you know,

865
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 25: guys going down and people stepping up and things like that.

866
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 25: But you know, at the end of the day, Uh,

867
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 25: we're not gonna be that one team you know with

868
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 25: the trophy of thin c do you put felid.

869
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 9: I was just gonna say, I mean, knowing that and

870
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 9: my expectations you guys.

871
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 8: Have yourself, is this defense being like it's unfinished business.

872
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 25: I guess coming out of the season, like, oh, for sure,

873
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 25: you know it's a you always gotta learn from from

874
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 25: things like this. We're we're definitely gonna come into into

875
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 25: next season with a with another chip on our shoulder.

876
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 25: And I think we you know, we did a good

877
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 25: job this season, but you know, we didn't show up

878
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 25: in the in the in the biggest game. So I

879
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 25: think we're gonna learn from this moment and it's only

880
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 25: gonna help us in the in the future.

881
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 5: I know we talked about this a lot during the year,

882
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 5: but how do you account for how dominant you were

883
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 5: at home in the.

884
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: D of struggles on the round?

885
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think it's just finding our own energy. I

886
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 25: feel like that's the biggest thing. It's a it's an

887
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 25: energy thing.

888
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 11: Uh.

889
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 25: So just find ways to build our own energy, create

890
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 25: our own energy.

891
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: And just stay in a moment.

892
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 15: Uh.

893
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: I think that.

894
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 25: I think that's the biggest thing. It's it's easy at

895
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 25: home when you know the crowds on your side. When

896
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 25: you go on the road, it's it's only the men

897
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 25: that you travel with and and the people that come

898
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 25: with you. So I think it's just finding our own energy.

899
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

900
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 10: On the road where it's yesterday more about what are

901
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 10: they were doing somatically against you guys?

902
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 9: Are more about you guys just not your best and

903
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 9: how do you now correct that? And maybe some things

904
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 9: that they.

905
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 5: Put on tape that maybe you become issues for you guys,

906
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 5: how do you correct that going into next season?

907
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 25: Yeah, I I think it's definitely on us. I feel

908
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 25: like a l a lot of the plays. You know,

909
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 25: if if you really watched the game, a lot of

910
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 25: it was eye control, a lot of stuff like that.

911
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 25: It wasn't really you know, their scheme just out schemed

912
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 25: us or just just beat us. I just feel like

913
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 25: at we we didn't hone in on the little details,

914
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 25: and that's what we've been focusing on the whole time.

915
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 25: You know, when you get to the playoffs, the margin

916
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 25: for you know, error is is even slimmer than the

917
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 25: regular season. You know, you could lose a game and

918
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 25: go to the next game and continue to build, but

919
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 25: in the playoffs.

920
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 6: Y, you don't.

921
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 25: You don't have the opportunity to play a bad game

922
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 25: or or have a bad snap. So, uh, I think

923
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 25: it was definitely things that we we can correct.

924
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 9: Right This locker room was so close getting together, which

925
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 9: is where in pro sports considering how transient things can be.

926
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 9: But how do you uh carry that culture forward?

927
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 25: Now that I think when you when you lay lay

928
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 25: a uh a great structure, I think it's it's easy

929
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 25: to you know, continue that culture. You know, the the

930
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 25: core guys will always be the core guys pretty much,

931
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 25: you know, on the team, obviously it'll be new faces.

932
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 25: No no team ever stays the same. But I feel like,

933
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 25: you know, those core guys were able to you know

934
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 25: make a make a a good locker room. So I

935
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 25: think it it'll be easy to just incorporate people and

936
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 25: just teaching our ways, and I feel like it won't

937
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 25: be hard when you when you build something so strong

938
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 25: that we've built, I feel like it'll be hard to

939
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 25: tear down.

940
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 12: Could we talk so much about your role coming into

941
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 12: this year? Was it a lot different than it was

942
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 12: last year? And how do you think you kind of

943
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 12: fit befo y toil chords.

944
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 2: Just trying to do Was it a lot different?

945
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 25: I would say so, just because we played a lot

946
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 25: more man, So, uh, that's my that's my comfort zone.

947
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 25: I think culture was did Ah did an unbelievable job

948
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 25: and just putting me in positions to succeed. Just getting

949
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 25: around the football a lot more this season. Uh, opportunities

950
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 25: to play outside, opportunities to play inside, opportunities to blitz,

951
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 25: to get in the run fit So I think, you know,

952
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 25: I think coach Schwortz is an unbelievable coach. I think

953
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 25: he's the best defensive coordinator to just cater to the

954
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 25: guy's talents. And I feel like he did a great

955
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 25: job with me this season. Yeah, yeah, Nah, for sure,

956
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 25: feel like I was, I mean a man ninety five

957
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 25: percent of time, So I f uh, I felt great.

958
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: Can you guys feel like you're gonna really have to

959
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 3: pick up.

960
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 9: Your feat even more than you look at the lineup.

961
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 15: For most quarterbacks, it's gonna be a really, really tough

962
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 15: line up.

963
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is probably gonna be healthy this year. You

964
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: guys still have to facing all this year.

965
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 15: Uh So, I guess what saying is, you guys really

966
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 15: are old, are gonna have.

967
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 3: To dig deep and find something extra great?

968
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 25: Or yeah, for sure, you know, but at the end

969
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 25: of the day, it all comes down to us, no

970
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 25: no matter what quarterback, no matter if you're playing Brady

971
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 25: or Joe Montana. At the end of the day, as

972
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 25: long as we focus on our craft and continue to

973
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 25: grow as a segment, as a union, as a team,

974
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 25: I feel like we'll be able to accomplish whatever we

975
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 25: like challenges like that. You know, you see the schedule,

976
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 25: come out and see the quarterbacks that we're gonna have

977
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 25: to face, and you know, I think we got the Cowboys.

978
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 25: They got a lot of you know, great quarterbacks. But

979
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 25: you know, that's that's where legends are made, is in

980
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 25: big moments like that. So we definitely don't shy away

981
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 25: from the moment.

982
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: Jan Thornhill was up next. The safety talked about how

983
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: bad he felt that he was never able to play

984
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: fully healthy this season, and also how the team can

985
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: bounce back and still be a dominant force next season.

986
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 17: It just seemed like I was just hurt all the time.

987
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 17: But it was just one injury that was just.

988
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: Lingering the whole season.

989
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 11: So it was the same calf as the same calf

990
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 11: all year.

991
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 21: I just didn't have the time to like let it

992
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 21: heal my left calf.

993
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 7: Even the one back to the I mean the one

994
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 7: that would impact you going into the opener.

995
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 17: Oh no, so that one was that the opener was

996
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 17: it was basically like we played Kansas City. If someone

997
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 17: ran to it, it was just like inflame, the little strain,

998
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 17: nothing too bad.

999
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 21: That's why I came back from that one really fast.

1000
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 17: But I restrained the left one against the.

1001
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 21: Ravens, and then that's where just everything went downhill.

1002
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: I struggled to come back.

1003
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 17: Well, you were not yesterday, you know, definitely not have

1004
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 17: not been one hundred percent since Baltimore.

1005
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 8: I know you guys have had such high expectations for

1006
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 8: this team and you had high expectations coming in here,

1007
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 8: Like is there a sense of like unfinished business, like

1008
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 8: you know, collectively or for you personally just because of

1009
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 8: the injuries.

1010
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, definitely. I mean this team, I mean, guys

1011
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 17: worked ass softball year. You know, it sucks that we

1012
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 17: didn't get to get to the top game, but I

1013
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 17: feel like guys would be back next year, like really hungry.

1014
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 21: Because guys have the experience now, guys been in the

1015
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 21: playoffs and played at the top level.

1016
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: So guys definitely would be back and ready to go.

1017
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 11: The first half of that game yesterday, then one with the.

1018
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 5: Strong could have four touchdown passes, ye had three, So

1019
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 5: I mean it was it.

1020
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 17: Was bro honestly, Like I told the guys, like when

1021
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 17: you get into the playoffs, there's no room for era.

1022
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 17: And we made a couple of mistakes out there, guys

1023
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 17: like low and coverages and c J found him.

1024
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 21: So the guys are really good quarterback and these other teams.

1025
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 17: They're gonna they're gonna feel him for sure, because he's

1026
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 17: definitely a really good guy.

1027
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: The injury you got that you know you were back,

1028
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 7: have you done?

1029
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 2: Everyone had something in.

1030
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 7: Your career like that where it was just sort of festering,

1031
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 7: sort of lingering that.

1032
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 17: I mean, I told my A c L my rookie year,

1033
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 17: I missed the playoffs. But I mean that's something you

1034
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 17: can't really control, you know. I missed the playoffs, came

1035
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 17: back played the rest of that season.

1036
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 21: But if you really look at my career, I've only

1037
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 21: had missed one football game, you know, with with the

1038
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 21: castring like, I have missed one football game.

1039
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 20: And that's it.

1040
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 17: So I usually don't have like history with injuries and everything,

1041
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 17: but uh, this year, that one calf was just lingering

1042
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 17: the whole year.

1043
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 16: You talk about the hunger that you guys are gonna

1044
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 16: have next year for you guys, that the more the

1045
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,959
Speaker 16: camaraderie and you guys have built throughout this whole season,

1046
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 16: how do you see that translated into next year?

1047
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 20: Is you try to.

1048
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 3: Bounce back this way?

1049
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 21: I mean, it is year one in this defense, just

1050
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 21: talking about.

1051
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 17: The defensive side, you know, Uh, year one, and we

1052
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 17: was the best defense.

1053
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 21: Like it usually it takes time for.

1054
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 17: Guys to get used to like playing next to one another,

1055
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 17: but uh, it seemed like we just clicked right away.

1056
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 17: So just just imagine that's coming back next season. With

1057
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 17: a year on a I've belt with Coach Schwartz. You

1058
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 17: know it is gonna be it's gonna be scary for

1059
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 17: these opponents. And I feel like when.

1060
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 21: That's coming out, this lost guys would be a.

1061
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 2: Little bit hungry.

1062
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 10: I can't really can you guys, you set a slip

1063
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 10: with yesterday, and you still appreciate what you guys fail

1064
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 10: to accomplish, what the fewer team, despite of whole university

1065
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 10: that you faced in the fall.

1066
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 9: Unit teammates that you lost.

1067
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 17: You know, like it's gonna be hard for us to like,

1068
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 17: you know, to really appreciate the good things that have

1069
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 17: happened this season right like in this moment because the

1070
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 17: game is so fresh.

1071
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 2: We just lost the game yesterday.

1072
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 17: But Coach he kind of like opened our eyes up

1073
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 17: a body, you know, he said, you got to really

1074
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 17: take a look back at the good things that have

1075
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 17: happened this season. And there's a lot of good football

1076
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 17: that happened. You know, like the spite of all the

1077
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 17: guys getting injured. We had five quarterbacks this year if

1078
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 17: you really look at it, and that's like unheard of

1079
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 17: five quarterbacks guys getting injured like every single week with

1080
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 17: a season and an injury.

1081
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 21: That's that's huge. You know, some teams you lose one player,

1082
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 21: your season's over.

1083
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 17: I mean we lost multiple and guys just seemed like

1084
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 17: they never quit and that shows a lot about this team.

1085
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 17: And I, like I said, I feel like guys will

1086
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 17: come back next year ready to go.

1087
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: We're not healthy in this game and Grant not able

1088
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 3: to make it back for this game. Do you look

1089
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: at that game?

1090
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 15: I think I wonder what would have been different in

1091
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 15: both of us today than if their no.

1092
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 21: I mean, because I mean in this league, you know,

1093
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 21: if you're on the field, you can't make any excuses

1094
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 21: like so, I mean I was injured. I made the

1095
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 21: decision to go out there and play injured. So we

1096
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 21: just can't make any excuse to one.

1097
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 9: You guys were so much like this ship, and that's

1098
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 9: that's unique. That's hard to do.

1099
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 10: It's even harder to curry this thing. So how do

1100
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,479
Speaker 10: you I guess from what your few many kids the city,

1101
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 10: how do you make sure that that culture continues to festival?

1102
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 10: You're possibly like and you carry that forward in an

1103
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 10: extra kit, which just seems so central to what you

1104
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 10: guys from about this year.

1105
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, like when I came in.

1106
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 17: Here, like some people really liked what I was doing,

1107
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 17: and some people really hated it, you know, like I

1108
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 17: was they seemed like I was talking a lot, just

1109
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 17: saying like speaking about.

1110
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 21: The super Bowl, saying best in the world, things like that.

1111
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 17: You know, people didn't like it, and then, like I said,

1112
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 17: some people did, but like you have to speak those

1113
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 17: things into existence, you know, Like if I'm constantly sitting

1114
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 17: here talking about the super Bowl, that's how you make

1115
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 17: guys believe.

1116
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm talking about the super Bowl to.

1117
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 21: These fans, that's how you make people believe.

1118
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 17: And once you, like you continue to win, like people

1119
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 17: start to believe, like I started feeling like these fans

1120
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 17: started to get behind us a little bit more each

1121
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 17: and every week when we continue to win. So when

1122
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 17: you have those fans that's behind you, it just makes

1123
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 17: us want to play so much harder for them. So,

1124
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 17: like I'm excited about everything, like I said, like there's

1125
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 17: no reason to hang out head guys.

1126
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 21: They thought the ass off this year, and I'm excited

1127
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,479
Speaker 21: to get back next year. You know, I'm just gonna take.

1128
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 17: Some time with for football, you know, let my body heal,

1129
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 17: and and I promise like I tell you right now

1130
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 17: that Cleveland to get the best version of wal throw

1131
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 17: it next year.

1132
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's gonna ask just because like you are.

1133
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 5: So big on speaking things in new existence, and I.

1134
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 8: Know you talked about being frustrated and admitted that's of things.

1135
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 8: So how do you approach the off season to try

1136
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 8: to you know, kind of flush that away.

1137
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 17: So you know, it's like this past off last offseason,

1138
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 17: like I was, I mean, I was all over the place.

1139
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 21: You know, I wasn't really able to.

1140
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 17: Train as hard as I normally did, and I feel

1141
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 17: like it caught up with me, if I'm being completely honest,

1142
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 17: like with that cavstrain, Like those things helped me out

1143
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 17: for the rest of the majority of the season, like

1144
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 17: wasn't allowing me to play football like I wanted to.

1145
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 17: But one thing that I'm gonna do this off season

1146
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 17: for sure is just like make sure those things don't happen,

1147
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 17: you know, you know, get more flexible, just like work

1148
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 17: on speed and things like that.

1149
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 21: But I'm excited, like this will next year would be

1150
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 21: so much better for me. I can promise that. Like

1151
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 21: I'm gonna keep saying it over and over again, Like.

1152
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 17: I know some people might have been disappointed with my

1153
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 17: play this ship, but it's me.

1154
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: It's fine.

1155
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 21: Like I didn't I didn't play to my standard.

1156
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 17: You know, I know I'm so much better as a

1157
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 17: player than what I showed this year. But I'm excited.

1158
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: But running back Kareem Hunt was up next. He talked

1159
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: about his future with the Browns and what he thinks

1160
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: we should expect from running back Nick Chubb heading into

1161
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: next year.

1162
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 13: He already answered this, but.

1163
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the outlook with Deshaun coming

1164
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 3: back from his fred children next year?

1165
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I feel good about it.

1166
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 27: You know, he's training hard, I'm sure, and uh, you know,

1167
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 27: I know he's ready to you know, get back. It's

1168
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 27: never easy sitting on the sideline and watching and I've

1169
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 27: been out there helping your brother. So I'm excited to see,

1170
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 27: you know, his comeback story. And uh, you know, he's

1171
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 27: he's a great, you know, talent, great quarterback, you think,

1172
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 27: I mean, I hope so, I mean, Flacca is a

1173
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 27: great quarterback and a great leader, and uh, I feel

1174
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 27: like Dashaun, you know he also could probably learn some

1175
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 27: stuff from him from his you know years playing and

1176
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 27: stuff like that too. So uh, I'm I'm excited. If

1177
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 27: they can be teammates, that'd be really great.

1178
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: You said last night that.

1179
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 16: You were disappointed that you aren'tyn to bring that championship

1180
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 16: home to your city. What if you're here next year

Speaker 27: It's my ultimate hope, no matter, no matter what, even

1185
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 27: if I'm you know, playing for another team or anything,

1186
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 27: I would always you know, be happy and satisfied if

1187
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 27: they bring a championship to Cleveland. You know, it's my hometown.

1188
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,440

1189
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 27: like if if that was to happen, Like, I wish

00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 6: and what was that like when you're at.

1204
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 20: That's all I got to say. I just was, you know,

1205
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,320

1212
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 27: you know, consider being in Cleveland, you know, over anything.

Speaker 13: You know, more so than a lot of people. And

1245
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 13: you know how hard it is to get back to

1246
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 13: the playoffs.

1247
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 27: And nothing is ever you know, five years and went

1248
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 27: to the playoffs twice now, so like and that.

1249
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: Is you wrap up the day in the locker room.

1250
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: It was linebacker Anthony Walker Junior. He talked about his

1251
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: time in Cleveland and how great the locker room chemistry

1252
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: was this season.

1253
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 26: Oh, frustrating, you know, just the way it works out sometimes. Yeah,

1254
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 26: you can't, can't, can't sit here and you know, just

1255
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 26: sit here and let it affect you going in the

1256
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 26: off season. Just hope to be healthy, you know, really

1257
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 26: really soon here fast and be ready to get some

1258
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 26: real training in and get my body back to you

1259
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 26: know what I know it could be.

1260
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 14: And that your expectation that it'll heal pretty quick.

1261
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: And be able to do what you need to do.

1262
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 20: Yeah, no doubt.

1263
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 26: That's the Like I said, this is a different surgery

1264
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 26: than you know, what I went through last year.

1265
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 20: And you know we're you're repairing damage last year and

1266
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 20: this year. You know, it's a whole different thing.

1267
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 26: So, like I said, hopefully you know, get back and

1268
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 26: you know, just being myself.

1269
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, the last couple of years you left here,

1270
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 12: we didn't know if you come back. Yeah, Like, are

1271
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 12: you open to the idea again?

1272
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 26: Yeah, Like I said, anytime I'm able to play this

1273
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 26: game of football, wherever it is, I'm gonna take that

1274
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 26: opportunity and run with it, whether that's here anywhere else.

1275
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 20: You know, those those decisions aren't up to me.

1276
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 26: You know, that's my agent, that's you know, front office

1277
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 26: anywhere here in this building or anywhere else. So whatever

1278
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 26: that opportunity is, and you know, wherever I do have

1279
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 26: the opportunity to play football next year, I'm gonna, you know,

1280
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 26: take the opportunity to run with it, you know, and

1281
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 26: be the best player that I can be, whether that's

1282
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 26: here anywhere else.

1283
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 7: You've been around a lot of teams over over your life.

1284
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 7: What's set this team apart? Maybe be on on.

1285
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 26: The field, yeah, off the field, you know, that's exactly

1286
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 26: how I describe it.

1287
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 20: I thought we were a really close knit group.

1288
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 26: I don't know if you guys remember when I said this,

1289
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 26: but when we went to l A and we came

1290
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 26: back after those two losses, and I said, we lost

1291
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 26: those two games, but we got closer as a team.

1292
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 20: And it'll be better for us moving forward.

1293
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 26: And I remember somebody said, well, we want to win

1294
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 26: more than we want, you guys to get close, right,

1295
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 26: And we won and we got close. So, you know,

1296
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 26: like I said, that trip was really crucial for us

1297
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 26: for our success this year.

1298
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 20: And also the you know, the training camp Greenbrier.

1299
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 26: Uh, yeah, I forgot the name for a second, but

1300
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 26: that that was a huge one as well. So very

1301
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 26: close knit group, you know, and I think when you

1302
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 26: have that, you have that culture in the locker room,

1303
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 26: it makes it easy to play the game with each other,

1304
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 26: you know, and you have that next man up mentality,

1305
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 26: but you believe in that person because they've been through

1306
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 26: the ground with you, and when you're close like that,

1307
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 26: you know the next person is prepared to play as well.

1308
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 9: Culture change.

1309
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 8: Do you feel like there was this you're on this

1310
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 8: team in general and just how much.

1311
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 9: Visits just that together.

1312
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 20: Yeah, there's like a huge culture difference.

1313
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 26: A lot of guys, a lot of vets come, you know,

1314
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 26: come in this year, especially in that D line room,

1315
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 26: really kind of set the set the stage for us.

1316
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 26: And then like you said, that closeness, that close knit

1317
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 26: bond that you create. I I think Greenbrier was probably

1318
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 26: the best thing, the best thing to happen to us.

1319
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 26: It was nothing to do there, so you're there with

1320
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 26: your teammates and you do everything together.

1321
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 20: So I think that was huge for us.

1322
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 26: And yeah, one of the one of them more closer

1323
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 26: teams that I've been on and you know that's a

1324
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 26: testament to AB and you know, Kevin the bringing in

1325
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 26: the right guys and uh, you know you have the

1326
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 26: right guys in the locker room. You have a season,

1327
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 26: you know, obviously you minus the injuries that you wanna have?

1328
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 11: Did you playing in Cincinnati?

1329
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 20: Say that again?

1330
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 24: Not playing anybody in the game an impact the usual?

1331
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 26: I mean you you gonna say that now because uh

1332
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 26: we lost, right, But if you win yesterday and the

1333
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 26: guys are looking refreshed and everything, you know, you can't

1334
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 26: make that decision off of you know, the result. You know,

1335
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 26: I think Kevin did what was best for the team,

1336
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 26: and A B the same thing. I think they they

1337
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 26: knew what the guys needed, you know, and like I said,

1338
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 26: if we win that game, we're not even You're not

1339
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 26: even asking me that question.

1340
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 20: So you know, all over the place yesterday year they ready.

1341
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 7: No.

1342
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 26: I think for him just taking that next step of

1343
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 26: becoming a complete player on the field, off the field,

1344
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 26: a leader in his locker room. And I say one

1345
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 26: thing that I truly commend him on is learning how

1346
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 26: to handle hard better. I stole that actually from someone

1347
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 26: Carol Lawson. Women's basketball coach, but handling hard better for

1348
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 26: him was huge. Earlier in the season, you know, there

1349
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 26: was a game where he didn't play well and he

1350
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 26: let it affect him the whole game. And you know,

1351
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 26: now you see him he makes plays or if he

1352
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 26: misses a play, he moves on to the next.

1353
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 20: Play really fast, you know.

1354
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 26: And and that's tough to do, you know sometimes because you

1355
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 26: want to make every play. You want to be you know,

1356
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 26: almost one hundred percent always. And then you know, as

1357
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 26: a young player, you understand that. You know, as long

1358
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 26: as you go one hundred miles an hour and you

1359
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 26: you know, doing the best that you can, you're gonna

1360
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 26: make plays.

1361
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 20: And he's a special player. He understands that.

1362
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 26: So him taking that next step forward as a leader,

1363
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 26: as a you know, impact player on this team. I

1364
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 26: told I text him after the game yesterday. I said,

1365
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 26: if he's not the best linebacker in the NFL next year,

1366
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 26: that's his fault, you know, because he has everything that it.

1367
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 5: Takes another season's certainly about your fe what.

1368
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 11: What what does that?

1369
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 7: You like?

1370
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 26: I do the same thing every all season. Put the

1371
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 26: work in, you know, that's all I can do. Put

1372
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 26: the work in and wherever I end up, you know,

1373
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 26: just you know, do to do what I can as

1374
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 26: a teammate, as a as a leader, you know, and

1375
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 26: do what I can for the team. So all I

1376
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 26: can do is handle the work that I put in

1377
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 26: and whenever I wherever I am, I show up and

1378
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 26: I'd be the best version of myself.

1379
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 9: You know, you were very honest.

1380
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 8: Like last year about just wanting to play again in

1381
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 8: general after the injury.

1382
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 21: So I guess how.

1383
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 8: Much of the different headspace are you in, Like I

1384
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 8: know you obviously have this surgery, not having to deal

1385
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 8: with something of that.

1386
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 26: Yeah, I always have the same mindset as far as

1387
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 26: a it's a it's an opportunity, and it's always thankfulness

1388
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 26: to play the game. And as you get up in

1389
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 26: years as I am, you know, you understand how precious

1390
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 26: that is, you know, so always, like I said, the

1391
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 26: just grateful to have the opportunity to play the game.

1392
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, that's my headspace and that's what it's always going

1393
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 20: to be.

1394
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 26: And I just want to go out there, and you know,

1395
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 26: after having a full off season of training and preparing

1396
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,479
Speaker 26: my body and getting back into the thank you, into

1397
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 26: the right spot mentally, physically, everything, I'll be you know

1398
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 26: back to the player that I am, how much you guys.

1399
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 10: Were so close this year as your team, which is

1400
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 10: it's not easy to do when you have so many

1401
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 10: different personalities. Can that be replicated and you know, can

1402
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 10: that be something that just becomes inherent with m with

1403
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 10: this locker room going forward.

1404
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 26: Yeah, when you build a culture, you just want to

1405
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 26: make sure you bring guys in that fits that culture.

1406
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 20: And I think that's one step.

1407
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 26: I'll also say that it's you know, we talk I was,

1408
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 26: you know, talking to guys earlier, and it's, uh, it

1409
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 26: was a special season, right, and then you go through

1410
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 26: all that adversity, and that's what makes it more special.

1411
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 26: And then it's damned yesterday because you lose, and all

1412
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 26: it is is because the specialness was supposed to keep going.

1413
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 26: You know, you think that, like, ah, I supposed to

1414
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,479
Speaker 26: keep going, Like we have overcome so much, why can't

1415
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 26: we just keep overcoming?

1416
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 6: Right?

1417
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 26: And that's the way this game is. And we're just

1418
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 26: not the one, right, We're not the team that's the

1419
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 26: specialness continued for We're one of the thirty one who

1420
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 26: you know, lost and not in gonna make the super

1421
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 26: Bowl or win the Super Bowl.

1422
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 20: So we never wanna take that for.

1423
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 26: Granted, like we l I mean as a team, we

1424
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 26: obviously we accomplished a lot defensively, you know, being the

1425
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 26: number one defense, you know.

1426
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 20: That's rare. You never you know, I've never been a

1427
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 20: part of that before.

1428
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 26: So you know, you never wanna take away the the

1429
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 26: good and you use the bad as the fuel, you

1430
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 26: know for next year.

1431
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 12: How do you process a season where number one defense

1432
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 12: overcame so much versity, all the injuries, yet it ends.

1433
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: The way it ended yesterday.

1434
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 26: Yeah, like I said, just the I all it is

1435
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 26: is the specialness just ended, right you you take it

1436
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 26: for granted cause you're in the process of it, you're

1437
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 26: winning games, You're you're in the playoffs, the cities, you know,

1438
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 26: everybody behind you, got you got your got your back

1439
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 26: and everything. And then you lose a game. But that

1440
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 26: doesn't change the what happened this season. It's like how

1441
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 26: special it was, but it just the light got damned

1442
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 26: earlier than everybody wanted it to.

1443
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 13: You know, it's a little early.

1444
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 16: But I mean for you guys, the the bonds that

1445
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 16: you guys build, he's the camaraderie entering this offseason. I mean,

1446
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 16: how do you see that kind of carrying over into

1447
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 16: things you'll do you on your.

1448
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 9: Own and maybe with each other.

1449
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 26: Yeah, you know, when you have a close knit the

1450
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 26: gut guys, Uh, it's kind of hard to not spend

1451
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 26: time together in the off season. So I hear all

1452
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 26: these guys playing trips and stuff to you know, go places.

1453
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 26: You know, that's just like I said, just the special

1454
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 26: bonds that you build, and you know, you you you

1455
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 26: sh it carries over cause it's it.

1456
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 20: It's it's true.

1457
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 26: You know, it's not oh, that's just my teammate or

1458
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 26: that is my brother that I've you know, been going

1459
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 26: to war with and spent you know, ten days in

1460
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 26: Greenbrier where it's just me, you and the wall, right,

1461
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 26: So you know you go through that and uh, you

1462
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 26: know you always keep those special relationships.

1463
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 20: Leader.

1464
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 7: You're such a leader, and Captain's players gravitated towards you.

1465
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 14: How hard would it be if you know, the chips.

1466
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: Fall were they be and you ended up leaving here?

1467
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 6: How hard would it be to leave and start?

1468
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 26: I mean football is special, man, you know, you build

1469
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 26: so many bonds and I always think like whatever team

1470
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 26: I'm on, I'm gonna be there forever I'm gonna have

1471
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 26: those same set of friends every day, and it's almost

1472
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 26: like elementary school. You keep moving up grades and you're like,

1473
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 26: I don't see that person anymore or whatever. But the

1474
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 26: especially part of about football is, uh, it's a it's

1475
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 26: an opportunity, you know. You you never take it for granted,

1476
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 26: like whether I'm here, whether I'm you know, wherever I am.

1477
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 26: I want to be the best teammate. I want to

1478
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,479
Speaker 26: be the best version of myself for that team. It'll

1479
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 26: be hard, you know, to answer your question, it will

1480
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 26: be hard, but it's part of the game. You know,

1481
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 26: we understand that. Talk to the younger guys earlier and

1482
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 26: I was like, the locker room's going to look different,

1483
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 26: you know. And I've been a part of I've been

1484
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 26: a part of a culture organization where I was there

1485
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 26: for four years and I've seen people in and out.

1486
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 26: And I've been here for three years and I've seen

1487
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 26: the same thing, people in and out. So you know,

1488
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 26: you never want to take the game and being able

1489
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 26: to play for granted wherever that is. So yeah, well,

1490
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 26: you know, we'll see.

1491
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 9: What do you remember most from this season?

1492
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 26: Thirty nine almost thirty nine year old Joe Flacco, not

1493
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 26: for what you guys think of on the field, but

1494
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 26: the person that he was off the field and coming

1495
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 26: in And you know, I could tell this story now

1496
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 26: the season's over, but we had a a outing, a

1497
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 26: team outing in uh La, and uh he showed up.

1498
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 20: And uh, I think that was a huge point in.

1499
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 26: Our season where guys saw him and you know, most quarterbacks,

1500
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 26: you know, you at that age and you know what

1501
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 26: he's done in his career. He could have easily been like, man,

1502
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 26: I'm tired, I'm going in and you know whatever. But

1503
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 26: you know we're one thirty two o'clock and you know

1504
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 26: he's hanging with the guys.

1505
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 20: So I think that was really special need for this

1506
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 20: team as a as a bat. But how did the city?

1507
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 16: You might get back great, but how did the city grow?

1508
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 20: Yeah? Man, Cleveland is a football town through and through.

1509
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 26: You know, when you're playing good, you know they got

1510
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 26: your back, and you know when things not going.

1511
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 6: Well, you know.

1512
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 26: You know, so, uh it's special, you know you you

1513
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 26: I I would never you.

1514
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 20: Know, not.

1515
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 26: Alright now you know I heard that, but you never

1516
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 26: you never wanna say, uh, you know, they kicked me

1517
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 26: when I was down or anything like that.

1518
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 20: Or they're negative or anything.

1519
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 26: I think they're a very passionate fan base and that

1520
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 26: grows you as a player, right. And then off the field,

1521
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 26: I'm thankful the city accepted me. You know a lot

1522
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 26: of people in in the town or whatever. Uh, you

1523
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 26: know really really showed a lot of love and I

1524
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 26: I'm very grateful for that.

1525
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 12: Said and then I know you've been really supportive with

1526
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 12: Sean looking ahead, like can they both come back there?

1527
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 12: I mean, I obviously the Sean's coming back. Could they

1528
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 12: both be on the team together with did Sewan and Jo?

1529
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 12: Do you think that would be a good combination.

1530
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 26: I am not the general manager or the head coach,

1531
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 26: but I.

1532
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 20: Do s I do believe.

1533
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 26: So, you know, I think those two they they got

1534
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 26: along really well. Uh no matter what the media said,

1535
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 26: not you guys, but they did get along really well.

1536
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 26: You know, they supported one another and you know that

1537
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 26: they have that mentual respect for one another. So anytime

1538
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 26: you have that in any position group, I think that

1539
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 26: that will make that relationship go.

1540
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 8: Because there's so much turnover in the off seasoning with

1541
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 8: what you guys have built defensively, which is which and shorts?

1542
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 20: Can that translate again next year?

1543
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 8: Even if there are new places on the defense.

1544
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, I think all of our coaches do

1545
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 26: a great job of preparing, you know, the guys. So

1546
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 26: when you see like you know a lot of young

1547
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 26: guys playing stepping up, they're prepared. They're not that's not

1548
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 26: just overnight or they just step on the fill and

1549
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 26: automatically something magically clicks. They put the work in, they

1550
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,479
Speaker 26: put the time in, and the coaches do a good job.

1551
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 26: So I do believe that the development of whoever they

1552
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 26: bring in is going to be you know, held to

1553
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,959
Speaker 26: a standard. And you know, and that's the main part.

1554
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 26: You know, there's a standard on this defense, and there's

1555
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 26: a standard with Jim Schwartz and all the other coaches,

1556
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 26: and if you don't uphold that standard, then you won't

1557
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 26: be out there.

1558
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 20: So I do think it it will carry over.

1559
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Finishing up the day at the podium, it was the

1560
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: head coach of your Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski. He give

1561
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: us the recap of the season as a whole, and

1562
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: what happened in Houston on Saturday.

1563
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 14: Okay, these days, as we know, are no fun. Just

1564
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 14: meeting with the players and it's very abrupt when when

1565
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 14: the season ends, and you know, all our guys really

1566
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 14: put in so much work and not be playing any

1567
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 14: more games. That's tough. That's hard for our guys and

1568
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 14: hard for us as coaches. So you know, that's the

1569
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 14: immediate emotions and the first thing you think about when

1570
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 14: you wake up on a day like this, and then

1571
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 14: you also have to step back and you know, express

1572
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 14: gratitude because I am extremely grateful for this football team.

1573
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 14: You know, they work like crazy, they put they did

1574
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 14: everything I asked me to do, really going all the

1575
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 14: way back to April, and they fought for each other.

1576
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 14: You know, I think those are a bunch of guys

1577
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 14: that care about each other, and I think you saw

1578
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 14: that throughout this season and just the things that they

1579
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 14: went through and kept coming back. So I'm really proud

1580
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 14: of his football team. Again, disappoint and how it ended,

1581
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 14: of course, disappointed when it ends, but I don't want

1582
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 14: to lose sight of the accomplishments of this football team,

1583
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 14: and I give them a ton of credit for that.

1584
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 14: But with that, I'll take any.

1585
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 7: Questions about kind of the the buy in that you

1586
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 7: had this year. You know, everybody's sort of pulling the rope,

1587
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 7: you know, in the same same ration whatever you you know,

1588
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 7: cliche you want to use. How difficult is that to replicate?

1589
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 7: You know, because it's not going to be the same

1590
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 7: group next year necessarily, How do you how do you

1591
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 7: try to replicate that?

1592
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean every year is different, as you mentioned, Chris,

1593
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 14: I mean the players are always different and that's the

1594
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 14: that's the NFL. It's never the same ever, so you

1595
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 14: treat each year differently. I would tell you the core

1596
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 14: of this football team, the guys that we know are

1597
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 14: coming back, are are guys that represent who we are,

1598
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 14: you know, that understand what they need to do on

1599
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 14: a day to day basis to be great. So we're

1600
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 14: excited about that. But bottom line is, when you're talking

1601
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 14: about the locker room, it's the people. It is just

1602
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 14: the people in that locker room. And I feel strongly

1603
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 14: about the people.

1604
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 5: Spoken to Shaun and rolling it forward a little bit.

1605
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 5: Are you confident he's gonna be ready for the start

1606
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 5: of the season. Can you give us any update whatsoever

1607
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 5: on his rehabbit.

1608
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, he's doing great and rehab. I'm confident he'll be

1609
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 14: ready to roll this spring. You know, he's chomping at

1610
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 14: the bit, but he's doing everything he's supposed to do

1611
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 14: when it comes to what the doctors are telling him

1612
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 14: and as he rehabs through this.

1613
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 6: But he'll be ready to roll.

1614
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 9: But you're going to the off season with him as

1615
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 9: you're starting for correct.

1616
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 5: Do you think, Kevin, that the injury is really just

1617
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 5: caught up to you yesterday?

1618
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, we just didn't play well yesterday. We didn't coach

1619
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 14: well enough.

1620
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 6: Jeff.

1621
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 14: I know you can point to injuries. I think every

1622
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 14: team could point to injuries, but we just we didn't

1623
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 14: do the things you have to do to win on

1624
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:57,479
Speaker 14: the road.

1625
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 6: Pretty simple film me yesterday?

1626
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 2: What do you think the biggest issues defensively.

1627
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 6: Weren't a sad.

1628
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 14: You know, like we talked about Yesda. I'd give them credit.

1629
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 14: They had some good schemes. They got us in some

1630
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 14: big plays. And for big plays that happened, it's typically

1631
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 14: you know, a miscommunication or you know, falling out of

1632
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 14: your gap or what it might be. So it's all

1633
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 14: little things that, as we know, they add up to

1634
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 14: the big thing.

1635
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 24: Where you see Flacko and Watson coexistence.

1636
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'd leave all those things up to obviously Andrew

1637
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 14: and this offseason. I will say this about Joe. Joe

1638
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 14: was awesome for this football team. He did a great job,

1639
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 14: battled like crazy. I know he enjoyed it. What we

1640
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 14: you know, we obviously wish yesterday's outcome was different, but

1641
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 14: you know, I have a ton of respect for Joe

1642
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 14: and what he was able to do.

1643
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 6: Joe, do you like to come back?

1644
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 14: I think Joe he's gonna work through everything this offseason,

1645
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 14: as you can imagine. But I had a great meeting

1646
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 14: with Joe. Really all these guys, you know, he's he's

1647
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 14: grateful for the opportunity and and he'll work through this offseason.

1648
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 6: See where it lands.

1649
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 11: He's the starting quarterback in the NFL.

1650
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 14: Still, you know, he's obviously as you guys saw a mean,

1651
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 14: he's talented. He won football games for US. We had

1652
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 14: multiple guys that have won football games for US. So

1653
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 14: I believe in all these guys.

1654
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 5: You're most from outcause he's what do you what do

1655
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 5: you take away from just everything you guys.

1656
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 9: Were able to overcome?

1657
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, pretty raw, not being twenty four hours

1658
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 14: removed from yesterday. So I think the biggest thing for me,

1659
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 14: Darryl is just these guys really fought like crazy. Uh,

1660
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 14: they really did and it's the makeup of the football

1661
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 14: team that drives your success. And you know, I give

1662
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 14: Andrew credit for the guys that he brought into this

1663
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 14: locker room and the caliber of players that he brought in.

1664
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 14: But you know, I just I'm very appreciative of of

1665
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 14: all those guys.

1666
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 6: Govern that all your coaches will be back.

1667
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think we're evaluating everything right now, Tony. The

1668
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 14: other thing is, you know, is some guys will get

1669
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 14: opportunities over the next couple of weeks, so we'll see

1670
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 14: how it all shakes out.

1671
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 5: Analyze at first, blush though, how do you account for

1672
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 5: the disparity on how well you guys played at home versus.

1673
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 11: On the road?

1674
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 14: Something to look at obviously, you know you can easily

1675
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 14: say crowd noise and that type of thing, But those

1676
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 14: are things that we'll look at. You know, didn't end

1677
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 14: how we wanted it to, but I also know we

1678
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 14: played really good defense for the majority of the season.

1679
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 3: With that disappointing ending.

1680
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 16: To the season, how do you hope guys take that

1681
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 16: into the off season and how do you they approach

1682
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 16: it knowing that it didn't end the way.

1683
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 14: You wanted it to, but you got next year yeah.

1684
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 14: I mean it's hard, Cam, but you're always looking to

1685
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 14: take a little bit of the previous year with you

1686
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,560
Speaker 14: and use it as fuel. You know, we're one of

1687
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 14: the thirty one teams that isn't standing at the end

1688
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:03,799
Speaker 14: and that hurts, so you always use that as motivation

1689
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 14: for the next year.

1690
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 24: You've got an action that you did the right thing

1691
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 24: by restling.

1692
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 14: Everybody in say, yeah, it's you know, you just go

1693
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 14: with the information that's available to you and those decisions

1694
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 14: I wouldn't you know, obviously didn't get the outcome we

1695
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 14: desired yesterday, but really just trying to do what's best

1696
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 14: for a football team.

1697
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 12: Would you rethink that in.

1698
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 2: The future, just given how.

1699
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 14: Well you guys were playing going, Yeah, I think it's

1700
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 14: always dependent on where you are, you know, in the future,

1701
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 14: where are you from a health standpoint. Those are the

1702
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 14: type of things you're always thinking about to show, you know.

1703
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 12: Start stop with him this year, But do you think

1704
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 12: he had enough time and you know kind of the

1705
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 12: tweak system and now you guys have been together for

1706
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 12: kind of two years and will be able to hit

1707
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 12: the ground running.

1708
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt.

1709
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 14: I mean Foreign one as a starter, some really great

1710
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 14: moments that second half versus Baltimore is is something that

1711
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 14: you know, I don't know how many people on earth

1712
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 14: can do what he did with the injuries that he

1713
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 14: had in that second and have so very excited for him.

1714
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 14: He's excited. I know he wants to get back healthy

1715
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 14: and he's well on his way to doing that.

1716
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 9: Technic group, it's really hard to create. It's something that

1717
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 9: hasn't been created.

1718
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 21: Here in a long long time.

1719
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,560
Speaker 10: How do you replicate that and carry that forward so

1720
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 10: that continues because it just felt like that was so

1721
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 10: instrumental in your success.

1722
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, we're kind of you know, talked a little bit

1723
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 14: earlier about that. It's it's hard because these teams are

1724
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 14: different year to year. I mean, every single team has turnover.

1725
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 14: That's the nf Your core guys that you know are

1726
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 14: leaders for this football team that we'll be counting on sadly,

1727
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 14: Can you use.

1728
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 3: This as foundation for what you want you guys look defensively.

1729
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 20: In the future.

1730
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, without a doubt. And I think, you know, I

1731
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 14: don't want to lose sight of how good we were

1732
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 14: on defense this season. Historic and you know, I think

1733
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 14: coach Schwartz and the defensive staff did an outstanding job

1734
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 14: implementing the system in year one, some really good moments

1735
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 14: for us and some young players that we're excited about.

1736
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 6: Up.

1737
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 13: We haven't had a differential like that in the NFL

1738
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 13: forty years.

1739
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 9: What do you make of it?

1740
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 14: Something You're gonna have to give me some time, you know.

1741
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 14: I think we got to pull that apart and look

1742
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 14: at it. I mean, it is something that you have

1743
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 14: to get to the bottom of.

1744
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 6: Uh, and we'll look at it.

1745
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 9: Joel Patonia, we saw him in there with a boot

1746
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 9: on his right angle.

1747
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 6: You said he's playing a high angle spring yesterday. He's

1748
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 6: he's unbelievable. He's unbelievable.

1749
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 14: And that's kind of what I was talking about earlier

1750
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 14: when you talk about guys fighting for each other. He

1751
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 14: did not have to go back in that game with

1752
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 14: a high ankle spring, and most people couldn't and most

1753
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 14: people wouldn't, and he was not going to let his

1754
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 14: guys down. He battled to the end. He'll he'll rest

1755
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 14: up and heal up and uh. But he's you know,

1756
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 14: he's a quintessential you know teammate that That's that's what

1757
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 14: we're talking about when you talk about the Cleveland Bred

1758
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 14: guys that will do anything and everything they can for

1759
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 14: their teammate.

1760
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 13: They did not have many games. You know, you don't

1761
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 13: have a ton of film where DeShawn was the quarterback that.

1762
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 3: You know that he can be.

1763
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 15: So how grateful are you that you do have that

1764
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 15: that Baltimore second half that I think showed maybe showed everybody.

1765
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 13: What he can do and what did he do that

1766
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 13: day that just makes you realize he can be the guy.

1767
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think again, Mary Kay, I think it was

1768
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 14: you know, three games and then was out with the injury,

1769
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 14: and then finally back and then again went out. So

1770
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 14: that was disappointing for Deshaun, and he was disappointing that

1771
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 14: he wasn't able to play more than that, but to

1772
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 14: lead his team to play winning football, you know, in

1773
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 14: those games, and to play the style that he played

1774
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 14: and the willing his team the victory there in that

1775
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 14: second half, and then just different moments throughout this season

1776
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 14: making plays that you know, are hard to coach. So

1777
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 14: I'm excited about him getting healthy and we're excited about

1778
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 14: getting him back here a bit.

1779
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,879
Speaker 13: Yeah, I heard, you know, the whole time Joe Flappo

1780
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 13: was here. You know, I heard a lot of people

1781
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 13: just say you know, he's you know, more your style.

1782
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 15: You'd like to call plays better for a guy like that,

1783
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 15: pocket passer, play action, all that kind of stuff.

1784
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 13: So you know what, say you about that notion?

1785
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't get caught up in style. I get

1786
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 14: we concern ourselves with winning football. And I think you

1787
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 14: saw multiple quarterbacks and I just I say that with

1788
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 14: PJ going in there and Dorian going in there. And

1789
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 14: you know, it's our job as coaches to adjust to

1790
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 14: the players and the skill sets of the players and

1791
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 14: the playing style of the players. So that's what I

1792
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 14: think we have to do as coaches. But we're concerned

1793
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 14: with winning.

1794
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 24: I assume you never got the full end product of

1795
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 24: what you wanted Watson because he was in and out

1796
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 24: and in and out. So does the final product.

1797
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 11: Look anything like.

1798
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 6: Placout one more time you press?

1799
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean we're trying to figure out what it's

1800
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 24: gonna look like when when you and Watson have.

1801
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 14: Spended time to well, yeah, I guess I would go

1802
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 14: back to there was some really good moments this season. Uh,

1803
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 14: you know, it's such a small sample size with Deshaun

1804
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 14: and you had a weather game in there, so uh,

1805
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 14: I think we all know what he's capable of. Uh,

1806
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 14: we're excited about the future.

1807
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 10: You guys have made the playoffs in twenty twenty, and

1808
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 10: I think there's always from that outside perspective, well, now.

1809
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 9: We gotta hop it again and it took you a

1810
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 9: couple of years to.

1811
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 11: Kind of get back.

1812
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,759
Speaker 17: How do you protect from that mindset sort of setting

1813
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 17: it in of like oh, yeah, we'll be.

1814
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 9: Back next year and kind of keep working. Is it

1815
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,799
Speaker 9: as simple as just using last night as an example.

1816
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, and you know, I think our guys know

1817
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 14: that in the NFL is set up that way where

1818
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 14: you see new teams in the playoffs every single year.

1819
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 14: So uh, you know, our goal is to win championships.

1820
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 14: That's all thirty two clubs you know, talk about that.

1821
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 14: So when you get back, you start putting the work

1822
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 14: in to set yourself up for those type of things.

1823
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 6: But we know that all of that is earned.

1824
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 14: When you talk about playoffs and you talk about putting

1825
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 14: yourself in position to win championships.

1826
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 17: You watched like c J.

1827
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 13: Straud operating yesterday. Did the thought you didn't have time

1828
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 13: to think about this during the game, maybe when you

1829
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 13: watched the film or something.

1830
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 15: Did you have an opportunity to think to yourself, we

1831
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 15: got a guy like this over here on our sideline

1832
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 15: that has that kind of arm talent, that has that

1833
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 15: kind of mobility.

1834
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 3: And can do these kind of things.

1835
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, well I'd say this Mary kay I was you

1836
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 14: know that he's a very good player, very good young player.

1837
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 14: You know, I again give them credit for what they

1838
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 14: were able to do offense, defense, special teams. You know,

1839
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 14: we feel really confident in our guys. We feel really

1840
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 14: confident in the roster that we have that Andrews put

1841
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 14: together and Deshaun's a huge part of that.

1842
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 16: And this might be a little philosophical, but when they

1843
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 16: do we when guys have who had an impact end

1844
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 16: up moving on, what do they.

1845
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 6: Leave with the team for the next year.

1846
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it's interesting. We I was just talking

1847
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 14: to one of our players about a guy like Malcolm

1848
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 14: Smith played a couple of years for US at linebacker

1849
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 14: and had a huge impact and maybe didn't show up

1850
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 14: on the stat sheet all the time, but he had

1851
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 14: a huge impact on that young linebacker room. So, uh,

1852
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 14: there's always guys that you wish you could bring back,

1853
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 14: you know, everybody and and guys are there's different opportunities

1854
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 14: and those type of things. But you do learn from

1855
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 14: a lot of veterans that you bring into your program.

1856
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 24: Winning winning the championship, and that'd being the whole I'm

1857
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 24: I'm sure.

1858
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 6: You know this already, but winning the division and playing

1859
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 6: at home.

1860
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 25: Is that?

1861
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 6: I mean it was a reinforced this year.

1862
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, you're right, and you know it's definitely something we

1863
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 14: talk about, Tony, that that's on part of when when

1864
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 14: every team talks about winning the super Bowl, you know,

1865
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 14: part of getting there is winning your division. So that's

1866
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 14: always going to be at the forefront of our goals.

1867
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 14: Obviously didn't accomplish that goal this season, but yeah, that's

1868
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 14: priority number one.

1869
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 19: Any lot of coaches that have come through here are

1870
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 19: coming on through here, especially since ninety nine. Do you

1871
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 19: feel like that with your body of work, especially this season,

1872
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 19: that you're the guy that can get disfranchise to where

1873
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 19: it wants.

1874
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 2: To go going forward.

1875
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, as you can imagine, I'm not going to really

1876
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 14: get into my role and all that, Jake, other than

1877
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 14: to say we'll put in the work.

1878
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 6: Nice try.

1879
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 9: I thought it was pretty good.

1880
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:45,440
Speaker 13: And all your conversations with the organization's medical.

1881
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 2: Team, how what is a degree of confidence that.

1882
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 10: You're that you're getting from the medical team about Deshaun

1883
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 10: being able to come back, because.

1884
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 13: The fracture the throwing shoulders sounds.

1885
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 20: Like a pretty serious thing.

1886
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 14: That, Yeah, he's in great hands with doctor alatrosh out

1887
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 14: there in his rehab. He's doing great. He's on schedule,

1888
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 14: if not ahead of schedule.

1889
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 6: So very confident.

1890
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 20: When you talk about him.

1891
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 14: Being ready in the springing you that he's gonna be

1892
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 14: He's telling me that, Well, we'll update you guys as

1893
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 14: we get closer to there. But he's feeling great. He's

1894
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 14: right on track, so I know he's uh, he'll be ready,

1895
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 14: probably sooner than than most just because of how hard

1896
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 14: he works.

1897
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 15: Small sample size of an opportunity with him healthy and

1898
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 15: you guys working well together, how much do you feel

1899
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 15: like you can build on, you know, just what you.

1900
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 13: Saw him do with you calling it for him this year.

1901
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, again, just going back to each one of those

1902
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,560
Speaker 14: games is so different in that small sample size. But

1903
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 14: Deshaun has shown here and throughout his career he's a playmaker.

1904
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 14: He's made a ton of plays for us, and you

1905
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 14: know that's part of his game that we're so excited

1906
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 14: about he put it on display. So getting him healthy,

1907
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 14: getting him back and in the system, and those type

1908
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 14: of things.

1909
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:12,799
Speaker 6: He's excited about it heat surgery.

1910
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 20: I'm that pick.

1911
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Obo need surgery.

1912
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 6: I don't know that Sure is going to have to

1913
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 6: have it.

1914
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 14: I don't have a medical update on I don't I

1915
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 14: don't know.

1916
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 6: And now it's ben Pell.

1917
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 24: Need to go back into the lab of the spring

1918
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 24: with walks like he.

1919
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 6: Did last year.

1920
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 14: I think every spring you have to do that. I

1921
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 14: really do, Tony, because the game is changing. Uh the

1922
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 14: NFL continues to evolve year to year. I say this

1923
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 14: all the time, but you put on tape from ten

1924
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 14: years ago, it doesn't doesn't look the same.

1925
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

1926
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 14: So you're always trying to stay ahead of the curve

1927
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 14: as much as you can. So, yeah, I think all

1928
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 14: three sides of the ball, you've got to go into

1929
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 14: the lab.

1930
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 13: A couple more, the arsenal of weapons a little bit

1931
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 13: around Deshaun to be.

1932
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Even more explosive.

1933
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 14: Yeah. I think that's definitely, you know, Andrew's desire to

1934
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 14: add as many good players as you can, Mary kay,

1935
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,560
Speaker 14: But I feel really really good about the guys on

1936
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 14: our roster. I was, you know, like not to go

1937
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 14: through every guy, but really pleased with what these guys

1938
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:15,480
Speaker 14: were able to accomplish.

1939
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 6: Amari, Dave, Elijah.

1940
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 14: I think all had career type years and I'm proud

1941
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 14: of those guys seeing it.

1942
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 7: Nick around a lot over the last you know, several weeks.

1943
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,480
Speaker 7: How is he progressing? What's the prognosis?

1944
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 14: I don't have I don't have an update other than

1945
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 14: to say he's doing great. He's progressing, He's doing everything

1946
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 14: he's supposed to do, if not more so, we'll see

1947
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 14: how it goes.

1948
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 10: And you're talking about guys who have opportunities, Cream Hunt

1949
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 10: to talk today about the protection opportunity.

1950
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 20: But you know, obviously this is home.

1951
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, did he have more left than you guys thought,

1952
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 10: considering he wasn't with you guys and leave.

1953
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 2: You guys at touchdowns.

1954
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 14: Well, I'll say this about Kareem. I'm so appreciative of

1955
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 14: him and the way he played, in the style with

1956
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 14: which he played. You know, obviously pre injury to Nick,

1957
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 14: we didn't have a spot. But to Kareem's credit, he

1958
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 14: stayed in great shape. We brought him in, worked him out,

1959
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 14: he looked great, picked up this, picked back up the

1960
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 14: system right away and played really good football for us

1961
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 14: and made plays in high leverage moments and scored touchdowns

1962
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 14: and obviously yesterday, you know, having the ability to make

1963
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 14: a playoff in the goal line, make a play in

1964
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 14: the red zone. So he provided a huge, huge value

1965
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 14: for us. And you know, just he's a battler. Love

1966
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 14: the way he runs, the style with which he runs

1967
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 14: gave us a huge jolt that we needed foot Miles

1968
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 14: to be, you know, for.

1969
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 10: Defensive Player of the year. A couple of weeks ago.

1970
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 10: He started off with thirteen sacks. It just you know,

1971
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 10: couldn't be stopped. What happened, you know, the last six

1972
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 10: seven games just one sack.

1973
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, I would caution you to judge too much of

1974
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 14: defensive football off of sacks. I think that can be

1975
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 14: really dangerous just to look at sacks. I think pressures

1976
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 14: are really the thing that you want to look at

1977
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 14: and affecting the quarterback. And you know, with Miles, the

1978
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 14: other unique thing about him, as you guys know, teams

1979
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 14: do everything in their power to make sure he doesn't

1980
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 14: make those disruptive plays. So he's getting a tight end,

1981
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 14: he's getting the line is sliding to him, they're running

1982
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 14: away from him.

1983
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 6: Those type of things.

1984
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 14: But if you just look at his impact, and particularly

1985
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 14: if you want to use pressure rate, I think that's

1986
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 14: something you can look at. But if you look at

1987
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 14: his impact overall, it was unbelievable.

1988
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 19: Basically played eleven games since twenty twenty. We've seen him

1989
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 19: when he's cut back off the big layoffs, it takes

1990
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 19: a little while for him to keep going again. Now

1991
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 19: he's coming off the surgery to his throwing shoulders. So

1992
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 19: what gives you optimism that he's going to be able

1993
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 19: to hit the ground running in a conference where you

1994
01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 19: have very.

1995
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 14: Little margin for here, there's so many good Yeah, I

1996
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 14: would just tell you Deshaun's been in the system, he

1997
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 14: knows his teammates, he'll rehab like he does.

1998
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 2: He's attacking it already.

1999
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 14: So I just have a ton of confidence in him
