1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Okay, we're recording. We're gonna start with Dan roach followed 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: by love and read Hey Matthew doing well? Hi? Just 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: a question football wise, as a leader and a veteran 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: on this team, the message this week about you know, 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: we heard a lot and saw obviously I'll close you 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: guys team to winning, but seemingly around here for the 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: last twenty years or so, it's been all about winning, 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: bottom line. How much do you stress that to the 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: guys that hey, good effort, but bottom line is we 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: need to win these football games. Yes, sir, we don't 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: put a lot of stock in moral victories or competitive losses. 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: If you will. I think for us, there's one stat 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: that matters at the end of the day, and that's 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: whether or not you had more points than the other team. 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: And I think now it's about us going back to 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: the practice field in the meeting room and trying to 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: do things just a little bit better. Coach talked about 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, if we had all done our job just 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: a little bit better on maybe one one play or 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: one situation, and the outcome would have been different. And 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: I think that our focus needs to be on improving 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: this week and hopefully going on and performing well enough 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: to get the desired outcome on Sunday. Next question, Leven 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: read all, I'm not saying that the group Hi Matthew, 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: by the way, I should say always loved there. How 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: are you? I'm not saying that the group wasn't hungry, 27 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: but did you feel hungry or after that game to say, Okay, 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: we're not close, but we know exactly what we have 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: to do to get to where we need to be. Um, 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say we're anymore motivated to win 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: following that loss. I think our motivation has always been there. 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, we come with the same goal every week, 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: and that's to win the game. You know, I think 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: there were you know, the positive takeaway is that we 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: showed that we can compete with, you know, a top 36 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: level team. But at the end of the day, like 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: I said earlier, it's really about winning and in our 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: hunger kind of remains the same. We have a lot 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: of guys in here are super competitive. They want to 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: win at everything that they do, whether it's in the 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: meeting room, on the practice field, and obviously on game day. 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: So I don't think that changes because of the outcome 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: of a game or we showed that we were close 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: or whatnot. You know, the motivation will probably stay the 45 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: same for us. Next question a Sea, followed by Michael Herder. Hi, Matthew, 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm well, sir, How are you? I'm okay? Thanks. 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: No team is easy to play, obviously, but there are 48 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: some teams that seem to put a real focus on 49 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: special teams Around draft time. There are a lot of 50 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: quotes from then opened about the Raiders drafting people from 51 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: special teams as an emphasis. Have you noticed that they 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: placed an emphasis to special teams and are they tougher 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: to play from a special team standpoint? Then maybe some 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: other teams. Again, no team is easy, but they seem 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: to focus on it. Uh, no question. I think it 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: starts with the wather they're coached. They're very well coached. 57 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: They've got um some coaches who have a great deal 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: of experience in this league. And I think that that 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: that shows up on tape with the way that their 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: guys play with detail, with effort. And then again you 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: have to tip your hat to the players. They're the 62 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: ones out there going to execute what they're being coached 63 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: to do, and they play really hard. They they're really savvy, 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: from what I see technically and schematically their sounds. So 65 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a huge challenge for us. Um, 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have our hands full. I think, you know, 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: we need to respond with a good outing across the board, 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: especially coming off a performance like last week. So we're 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: we realize that we have our work cutout for us 70 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: this week. Um. You know, I tipped the hat to 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: Las Vegas because they do a great job and that 72 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: you can tell they put a lot of emphasis on 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: this phase of the games, no problem. Two final questions 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: Michael Hurley and Bob so Hey, Matthew, Uh, this is 75 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: uh less to do? Are you doing? This has less 76 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: to do with what what's going on necessarily with you 77 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: guys right now. But I'm just wondering from a from 78 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: a human and friends standpoint on a on a guy 79 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time within the locker room 80 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: and Stephen Gostowski, I don't know if you've seen him 81 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: at all this season, but with two game winning kicks, Uh, 82 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: do you root for a guy that that you spent 83 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: so much time with? And have you have you caught 84 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: any of that thus far? Yeah? Certainly Stephen remains a 85 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: very good friend. We speak often, and he's someone who 86 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: really showed me the ropes here. Him and Larry Zo 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: kind of showed me how to be pros. So'm I'm 88 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: very thankful for my time with Stephen. You know, I've 89 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: played twelve years with him. I'll always be rooted for him, 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: whether it's as a Tennessee Titan or just a dad 91 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: coaching up you know, his sons. Uh, He'll always have 92 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: a fan of me. I support him and everything he 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: does because that's what he's done for me. He's always 94 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: been there, He's always been a great friend. He's always 95 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: given me a lot of encouragement. So exciting to see 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: him have an opportunity to play again, to be healthy, 97 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: and he's with obviously a great organization, and there's a 98 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: lot of familiarity with him and Mike. So I'll be 99 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: pulling for Stephen all year long. And last question, Bob, Bob, 100 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: I think you're muted. I'm sorry, Hi, Stacy, I'm Matthew. 101 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Bob. How are you? I'm good? You 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: doing well? Things good? I want to ask you about 103 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: field position and ultimately two games in but as a 104 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: special team's unit, how much pride do you take in 105 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: that aspect of things, and how do you improve upon, 106 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: for example, the average start position in Seattle the eighteen 107 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: they had a kickoff return out to the forty three 108 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. And does it take time as a 109 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: special team's unit to kind of develop the same kind 110 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: of chemistry you would have in the other phases as well. 111 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: Great question, Bob, Well, we take a lot of pride 112 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: in the field position battle. I think that's the whole 113 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: point of the kicking game is to ensure that you 114 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: set up your offense and defense with good field position 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: to be working on either a short field or a 116 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: long field. Defensively, what we did Sunday wasn't good enough. 117 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: It was not up to our standard, and I feel 118 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: like it comes down to us finishing blocks a little 119 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: bit better, having better communication, and then coverage wise, just 120 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: just being on the same page, using our hands, being 121 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: more physical, and getting a lot of guys to the ball. 122 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: So we're going to continue to try to do that. 123 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: We got to improve upon all the things we've been 124 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: working on through the course of training. Camp is you know, 125 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: for a lot of us is our first time playing together. 126 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: But that's no excuse. I mean change happens in the 127 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: league every year. We've got to figure out a way 128 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: to play as a as a unit, to be cohesive 129 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: and to be productive at the end of the day. 130 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Thanks Matthew, Thank you Matthew Chase, whenever it to be next, 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: Thanks guy.
