1 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Maybe do you have any thoughts or an explanation for that? 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: Send it on at home three to final road any 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: way to put finger in Um, not really, Uh, I 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: mean at the end of the day, I would just 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: say we didn't we didn't play well on the road. 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: I think, UM, you can probably go through each game 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: some there'll be some similarity, some differences, Um, but for 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: whatever reason, we just didn't get it going on the 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: road the way we needed to. UM. Some of the 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: games early in the season just was basically like no contests, 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: and um, you know we lost basically the other the 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: last two games, UM, Miami and Pittsburgh. Really would you know, 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: one play, you know, one play changes the game. So UM, 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: some of that's football. Some of it was just not 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: getting off to a good start. But UM, I think 16 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: we've progressed throughout the season and kind of everything that 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: we struggled with early in the season. So it kind 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of sets us up, you know, to finish the season strong. 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: You know, I guess a good thing for us is 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: at home, so uh, we'll be we'll be battle tested, 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: I think, you know, and Sunday will get a great 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: test for a young team that plays us tough every 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: time we play them, we battled earlier in the season, um, 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: and it will be the same way, you know Sunday afternoon. 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: I guess the Jets because if everything goes right, you 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: may not you may not have to play another real 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: game for the rest of the season. Once we get 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: that part of the season doesn't matter. Your record, home away, 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: none of that matters you. We're at the point of 30 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: the season where each time we win one game, we 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: get a chance to play again next week. So uh, 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: it kind of starts this week. That kind of mentality 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: and um, beating the Jets and trying to get a win, 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think helps us going forward in our season, 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: and then after that, each time we win, we get 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: a chance to continue our season. Running quarterbacks get every 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: teams running quarterbacks with big arms or even tougher. He's young, 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: simp dog, but he seems to be as it seems 39 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: to have gotten better as a years. Got wets him 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: when he is now and maybe the beginning of the season. Um, 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: just from it seems like what everyone's been saying is 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: just decision making. Like you can watch him obviously and 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: see arm strength, talent, everything's right there. Um. But I 44 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: think that the game since he's been back. You know, 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: I think it's seven touchdowns one interception, Like that's good football. 46 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: And I think when you watch him, you see if 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: you get out of your pass Russia Lings and no 48 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: one's there, he'll running. He'll pick up a first down, 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: but more than likely he wants to move around if 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: he has to to find someone down the field. Obviously, 51 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: you got a guy like Robbie Anderson running pass people, UM, 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: and he has a strength to get it there. So 53 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: I think he just has ability to do everything out there. 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: And like any of us when we were rookies, you know, 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: you start to understand it more. The game slows down 56 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: each game you played, the more you play, so UM, 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to me, you can see that with him, he's making 58 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: more plays out there, and Um, it was tough to 59 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: handle him. Now. We don't often ask about your teammates 60 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, but you've been 61 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: because I think, but the guy who's your stuff here, 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: Rock has been a teammate of years for one time, 63 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: and he just talks about some of the challenges of 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: UM playing trying to come back from injury at times, 65 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: and there's a real mental challenge involved there. Haven't spent 66 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: as much time around him as you have. What have 67 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: you noticed about his approach when it comes to that 68 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: sort of stuff, playing through things or coming back from 69 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: things and trying to continue to perform. Um, I would 70 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: say for a lot of guys, it's something to watch, Like, 71 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, I've been here, we got drafted together, no 72 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: matter what it was for me, Like he's always been 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: in here grinding. So um, you know, I would say 74 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: going through injury, if you needed someone to watch on. 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: You know, how they prepare each day and practice, whether 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: he's on the side doing different exercises, coreter, like, he's 77 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: always doing something to try to get his body ready 78 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: to practice and for the game. So you know, I 79 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: think he's been a guy to watch and see what 80 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: he does. He never complains about something her and or 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: not being able to like, he just does what he 82 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: can do. And you know, when he's come back from injury, 83 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: usually just a little more each day. And um, obviously 84 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: you guys see he's been one of the best tight 85 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: ends since the end of the league. So um, you know, 86 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: I think his leadership and how hard he works it 87 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: has stuck out. Um. You know, more to guys in 88 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: the locker room than I think people outside the building 89 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: talk about his approach maybe evolved since you guys came 90 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: in together back in two thousand and ten. He talked 91 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: a little bit today about wanting to be fun. But 92 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: I also imagine there's some um I don't know. I 93 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: think he's I think he's a lot, you know, the 94 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: way he's kind of been, you know, I think he 95 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: has this persona of like this party animal that's always 96 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: out partying. But um, if you see him like he 97 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: when he was young, he was always in the weight room, 98 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: always lifting the heaviest way, it's like he was a 99 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: big meathead. Um. So I would probably say he does 100 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: less meathead things and more functional movement, you know, and 101 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: things like that. But I mean he's still laughing, joking, 102 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: he's still a kid, and I think that's good. I 103 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: think it's good for their team, um, to have guys 104 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: like that in the locker room that you know, times 105 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: around here things are hard. We practice hard as hard days, 106 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Bill not laughing often. So having guys like that helps 107 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: in the locker room with some pressure. But earned him, 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: I would say his ability to get open and then 109 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: catching the ball he saw to play against Green Bay 110 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: last week running down the middle, one hand, catches it, 111 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: takes a hit. Um, and he's a guy that I 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: would say, you know, not a lot of people probably 113 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: talked about him being, you know, one of their best 114 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: players coming into the season, but you look like key 115 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: moments got to have it plays, they go to him 116 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: and he gets open and catches the ball a lot. 117 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: So Um, he's definitely one of their guys that we've 118 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: talked about this week of um having to go out 119 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: there and play well against you know, he's had great 120 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: games going out there and making play so um, you 121 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: know it seems like them with a little banged up, 122 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, him being out there. I think for Sam 123 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: done will be a good, you know, kind of security 124 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: blanket and the guy that they'll look to in game 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: play wise to get vertical, get across the field. He 126 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: does a lot of different things for him. In the 127 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: past game Tom said he absolutely believes he's playing. Do 128 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: you have any comment on that? If you fields were surprised, 129 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: happy as I planned a plan in twenty nineteen too. 130 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: What's harder to do? Play the Jets for your family 131 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: on the couch and Pajomas take a picture for Chris. 132 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: You saw the picture. It was rough. The effort level. 133 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: The effort level though that I show to take the picture. 134 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: It probably could get better. Um, not great and high 135 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: on picture taking with the family um so Um. Playing 136 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: the jets is still tougher though, because I will walk 137 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: away from the picture. Yeah, all the upsides of having 138 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: Jason here just I'm sorry if you got asked at 139 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: the beginning, but you know, going through a holiday where 140 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: you sit downside the upside what I said, but spending 141 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: a holiday to get other which is you know, family 142 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: time anyway, and normally you're in two different cities and 143 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: now you guys have kids. I mean, what was that like? 144 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: And did you get together on the actual holiday or what? 145 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: How was it? Yeah, we hung out in his house 146 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: and it was chaos. Um, hey, chaos. I mean it's 147 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: all on how you look at it. Um. We all 148 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: love our kids, but I wouldn't call that kind of 149 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: good chaos. Um, we have four kids running around, baby crying. 150 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: So um, I guess the one good thing that helps 151 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: is that he comes with himself and his wife, so 152 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: it's four extra eyes to look at the kids, and 153 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: you get to kind of sneak away every once in 154 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: a while but um we had basement duty for a 155 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: part of the day with the kids, and um we 156 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: just hung out. So anytime we get to hang out 157 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: as fun, thank you.
