1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: James, how much can the underdog mentality motivate you, guys, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: because you're not underdogs very often, especially in playoff games. 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: It motivates you a little bit, but you still got 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: to go out there and play for cold quarters. Because 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: you're an underdog doesn't give you any added boosts. You 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: just gotta go out there execute play hard football for 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: four quarters on the road, and that's what it's gonna 8 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: take to beat those guys. James. Obviously, everyone's talking about 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: the weather in Kansas City, wondering what you think about it. 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: You hear other players ask talk about and they say 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: they hate it, They've hate it in the past. What 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: do you think about it? You just gotta deal with it. 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: Both teams gotta deal with to elements. So whatever it is, 14 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: it's coach Will City, just gotta go out there and 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: play through it and just gotta play football. It's gonna 16 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: be cold, it's gonna be hot, never know, so it's 17 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: gotta deal with it. You're different, layer up as much 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: as possible, but just to kind of be able to 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: go out there and run and play football. So I 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: can't put too much clothes on. James catching the ball 21 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: of the backfield something that Bill said that you improved 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: on pretty appidly when you got here. Just as of 23 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: running back, how difficult is it to learn the system 24 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: to catch the ball out of the backfield and the 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: different checks and option routes that type of stuff. It 26 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: wasn't too difficult. Just going out there and just trying 27 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: to do the right things, pay attentions to the finer details, 28 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: trying to see what Tom see so we can be 29 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: on the same page and I'm in the right spot 30 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: when he looks my way. So just working hard and 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: practice their OTA's training camp and throughout the season, you 32 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: just continue to get better at it. James, and past seasons, 33 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: you guys probably have passed the ball a little bit 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: more than you run the ball. So what has it 35 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: been like to run the ball behind this offensive line 36 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: because I know they'd rather run block the pass ball. Oh, 37 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: it's awesome. They've been doing a great job for us 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: all year, from them to James Dellen to the tight 39 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: ends receivers. They'ven giving us a big boost, giving us 40 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: big holes run through and make it easy for us. 41 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: Just make one guy miss. We got some big runs 42 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and through the big boosts for our offense. If you 43 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: can run the ball succesfully opened up a lot of stuff. 44 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: And you know, Sony Rex, everybody who's running football, if 45 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, the great job with him. James, how are you? 46 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: How are these games different for you? How are you 47 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: different in these games? Now that maybe when you're a rookie, 48 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean you and High and a bunch of guys 49 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: are been blessed to be in these almost every single year, 50 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: so you're kind of veterans at it, a young veteran. 51 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: But how are you different in these games? Well, they 52 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: just don't take the opportunity for granted. Um, it's not 53 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: just every year automatically you're gonna be in the playoffs 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: being an ANC championship. So just make the most of 55 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: our opportunity, live in the moment and just go out 56 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: there and play your best football. You don't have any regrets, James. 57 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: Your impressions of the Kansas City pass rush and Chris 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: Jones in particular, Chris Jones is having a huge year, 59 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: him d Ford justin Houston. Those guys have been disruptive 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: all year long. I think they lead the league in 61 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: sacks and stuff like that. So it's gonna take all 62 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: of us to pay attention to those guys and not 63 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: let them make too big an impact on the game, 64 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: because they really can mess up a game.
