1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Damian Brenda mentioned that you guys talked about how crazy

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: it was that five of the seven touchdowns were from

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: the running back room. Your thoughts on how crazy that

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: is that you guys had five touchdowns today. Yeah, it

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: was great. Um, I didn't even realize that until after

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: the game. I wasn't really paying attention. But um, you know,

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: every day we work on being the best group that

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: we can be. That way we can positively affect this

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: offense and you know, we can be a reliable group.

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: So you know, we all work hard. We're all very

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: hard workers, very talented players, and we're a very close group.

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: So you know, it was very please like we were

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: all pleased to see, you know, all of our hard

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: work payoff today. We know we still got a long

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: way to go. It's a long season, so you know

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be right back to work like any other day.

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: From Elly on the left, Damien Um, we saw a

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of offensive linemen, injury pork guys moving around, but

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: then we see coming out in the first half, you're

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: all working with some lanes out there and some really

21
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: moving the ball and in addition to running the ball

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: with with physicality, also having a lot of room to

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: h slash with the line. Can you talk about the

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: performance of the offensive line today. Yeah, I mean, that's

25
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: a great group of guys. Um, there's not a group

26
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: of guys that I'd rather play with. I mean, showing

27
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: up every day to work. Um, those some of the

28
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: hardest working guys on our team, and it shows. You know,

29
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: we got a lot of guys that move around, and

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of changing parts. But you know, when

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: you look at it, I mean the reason we have

32
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: success is because of those guys. I mean, they set

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: the tone for our offense. You know, they protect our quarterback,

34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: they open up running lanes for our backs, so you know,

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: they're really the anchor of our offense. And you know,

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I think person the anchor of our team. And they

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: do a great job day in and day out working

38
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: at practice, and then it shows up on the end

39
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: of the game. So you know, a huge it's a

40
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: huge advantage to have guys like that that can rotate,

41
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: play different positions, do different things, and still be able

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: to go out there and put together a very strong unit.

43
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Um that like I said, protects our quarterback, open up

44
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: opens up lanes for our running backs. So you know,

45
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: it's great, you know, super proud of those guys, love

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: competing with them, love stepping on the field with them. Um,

47
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just it's been a lot of

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: fun so far with those guys. Damian on your big

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: run in the first quarter, it seemed like a really

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: minor adjustment from you set it up to be a

51
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: big play. How much would you say subtlety is a

52
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: part of your game? You know, I just I take

53
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: what I what's out there. You know, I know that

54
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: God has blessed me to play this great game, and

55
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I just gotta let him take over.

56
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, you can't really predetermine what you're gonna do

57
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: out there. You know, every game is different, every run

58
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: is different. You never know what's going to happen out there.

59
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: So you know, I rely on my training every day

60
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: coming in here to work because, like I said, you

61
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen out there, So you gotta train,

62
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: prepare yourself for anything that's going to happen out there,

63
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: and then you know the rest is just the good

64
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: Lord has busted me to play this game at a

65
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: high level. So I'm incredibly thankful for that. I'm incredibly

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: thankful to be a part of this organization that pushes

67
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: me so hard to be able to go out there

68
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: and do what I need to do under you know,

69
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: tough circumstances. And you know, I know that. Like I said,

70
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: it's a long season, and you know, we just all

71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: we all gotta keep working myself included. We gotta keep

72
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: getting better every single day. And I said it last week. Um,

73
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: we're confident in the guys in this building, the players,

74
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: the coaches, the staff, minister, I mean, everybody. So if

75
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: we keep working hard, keep doing our jobs, and keep

76
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: moving forward with a positive outlook, you know, we we

77
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: really believe we can turn the season around. My priests

78
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: on the left, Damian, when I asked you about a

79
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: run that actually wasn't on the stat sheet, J J.

80
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: Taylor goes in for the touchdown. I see this guy

81
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: coming off the sideline. Yeah, like pretty fast. It's probably

82
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the fastest I ran all game. Yeah, why was that?

83
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's just so important. Like I said, Um,

84
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, in that running back room, we're such a

85
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: close group and we're such a tight you know brotherhood

86
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: in there. And you know you see a guy, a

87
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: young guy, um who works as butt off every single day,

88
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: works just as hard, if not harder than anybody else

89
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: in the building. And you see him have that success

90
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: and have you know that hard work payoff. You know,

91
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great feeling. And I think that

92
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, the excitement that I had just shows the

93
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: camaraderie of this team. And you know a lot of

94
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: guys were excited. Everybody was excited, and I think that's

95
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: just a testament to how close we are as a team.

96
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: And I think that whenever you have that that connection

97
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: amongst all the guys, you know, the players, the coaches,

98
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: and you go out there and you have hard working

99
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: guys that just continue to put their best foot forward

100
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: every day every day we step into work. Um, those

101
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: are the results. You know, we all everybody had had

102
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: a hand in playing well today, and you know, everybody

103
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: did their part to help us win the way that

104
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: we did today. So it's great to see him out there. Um,

105
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, battle through whatever adversity he's faced, you know,

106
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: whatever the circumstances have been. You know, he works so hard,

107
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: so you know, it's great to see his hard work

108
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: payoff today. Along those lines, what was it like to

109
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: see Brandon Bolden have the game that he did and

110
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: what if he bring to your room? Man? He he

111
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: is rand as something else. Man, he is h He's

112
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: an all time guy. His personality is next to none. Um.

113
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: But he's also, like I said, he's another hard working

114
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: guy that has been in this league for a long

115
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: time and he's played a lot of football. He's seen

116
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot of football and he knows how the game goes.

117
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: You know. I think that having Brandon has been so

118
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: imperative to our group and our team as a whole

119
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously with James being down and not

120
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: having him, you know, be's another guy that's played just

121
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: more football than James and has more experience, has done

122
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: this for a long time. So we've all leaned on

123
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: him and you know, he's been an ultimate leader for us.

124
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I know for us specifically as running backs. Um, he's

125
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: one of the funniest guys in the building. You know,

126
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: you'll never catch him having a bad day. He's always

127
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: got a smile on his face. He's always got a

128
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: joke to crack. So I think that we need, you know,

129
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: guys like that that have played a lot of football

130
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: to have a lot of experience, but also keep the

131
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: mood in the in the building fresh because we all

132
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: know that this season hasn't been exactly what we wanted

133
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: it to be. And you know, whatever, the whatever has

134
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: happened before obviously is over. But when you got a

135
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: guy like that who has so much experience and bring

136
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: so much on the field and then in the building,

137
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: in the locker room, in the meeting room, can keep

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: everybody in a good mood, keep everybody full of joy. Um,

139
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's imperative to our team. So I'm

140
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: really thankful to have had the opportunity to play alongside

141
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: of him and learn from him, and hopefully we can

142
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: just keep it going, to keep moving forward. That's question Teamy,

143
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: and final one for me, just how much of a

144
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: confidence boost can a game like this be for you

145
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: guys to use you guys now head out west. It's

146
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: huge us what we needed. We knew coming in this

147
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: game we needed to come out on top and whatever

148
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: it took, you know, we were willing to come in

149
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: here and do it. So we knew the importance of

150
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: this game. We knew the importance of this week, and

151
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we just wanted to

152
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: go one to know this week. Like I said, the

153
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: past is behind us and at this point our focus

154
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: is just to go one to know every single week.

155
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Thank you guys,
