1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Oh, definitely an exciting moment in life. You know, I 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: always wanted to be a dad. Um. You know your 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: wife goes through a lot, you know, giving birth to 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: a kid. So, man, it's an excited moment for both 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: of us. Pole talked about the field's defense and one 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: of the best of the league. You talk about the 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: challenge you guys have coming this Sunday. Oh, it's a 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: great challenge. Every time we play. These guys give us 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: a great game and their physical defense. They're smart guys. 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: They disguise well, they're good. And the defensive line, linebackers, 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the safety position, corners, so I mean they have everything 12 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: they need. They play sound football, smart football, and men. 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great challenge for us. Tough environment. Um, 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: you guys see who we're made of. How much doesn't 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: hurt losing a guy like James Devill and he breaks 16 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: with this team, It's tough, man. Um. He's a great teammate, 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: great football player and a great person. Um, And you 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: hate to see a guy like that go down. He's 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: a focal point of our offense, you know, not teams. 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: He's a fullback, but he's a guy who changed the 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: game for us. So tough to see him go down. 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: You'll talk this week about Buffball being a tough environment 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: to play. Is that a hard place to going in 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: and try and get a win. It's definitely tough. The 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: fans are into it, to tell, gating, so you're pulling 26 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: up to the stadium, they're yelling at the bus, all 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: things of that nature. It's NFL football. It's exciting, but 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: it's everything you can ask for. And it'd be a 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,639 Speaker 1: great challenge for us though. See we're made of another 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: road road game, another challenge. I go out there and 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: execute for four quarters. You have to worry about any 32 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: foreign object game hope not. Hope not this year. Never 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: know with the fans out there, never know. Julian back 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: out of the practice field today, Can you just talk 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: about it. It's toughness, his resilience. I mean, you know 36 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: he walked off the field someday people know if he 37 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: was coming back here. And he's a tough guy. Um 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: takes a lot of hits going across the middle, and 39 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 1: he always gets back up and it's a physical player 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: and he does a lot of things that I mean 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: a lot of receivers probably wouldn't take some of those hits. 42 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: So he's a tough, depend dependable guy. What's it doing 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: for you guys in your team? Win again, Mike on 44 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: a day like today?

Um, it's not easy. Um at this 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: point the season, even earlier this year, guys aren't one 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: hundred percent. So everybody's battling through something. You take us 49 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: back till last weekend kind of just when you got 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: the call you have to go in obviously your number 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: one priorities your wife and and your baby, and then 52 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: watching your team take care of the Jets as well. 53 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: What was that like for it?

Like, like you've seen, we've had quite a 65 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: few guys have babies during this season, so they've been supportive. Obviously, 66 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: So once in a lifetime opportunity. So he's let let 67 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: our guys experience it. Give you some advice on how 68 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: to maybe deal with it. Once you knew the day 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: was starting to come, Oh a little bit of me. 70 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: Just give them the heads up and let them know 71 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: what's going on and keep them updated pretty much. What 72 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: was it like watching your team? Mean, obviously you wouldn't. 73 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: Kind of a different life comes first. What was it 74 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: like watching it? Was definitely weird. Um, I feel like 75 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: wasn't a part of the team for a second. But 76 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: I said, those guys they went out and played well, 77 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, Rex played a lot, Brandon played a lot, Sony. 78 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Those guys did a great job. And I said, it's 79 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: a big division one type. Were you screaming at the 80 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: TV and I couldn't scream baby was sleeping? No this. 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: I was excited for those guys. Man, It's it's never 82 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: easy playing against the Jets, and those guys did a 83 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: great job. Person a little bit behind the scenes as a, Hey, 84 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: what can a guy like Damian Harris learn from that, 85 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, as a rookie kind of getting assimilated into 86 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: the system as a rookie running back. Oh, I mean, 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: just continue to work hard, practice hard. You may not 88 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: be getting the game reps, but never know when you're 89 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: never gonna be called everyone no, never knowing that opportunity 90 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: is gonna pop up. So just practice hard, show the 91 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: coaches that you're paying attention to the game playing, that 92 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: you're going to continue to learn, continue to grow, continue 93 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: to ask questions. So whenever you're out there, you go 94 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: out there and make the most opportunity that you get. 95 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: James your first day with Cody Kessler today, But what 96 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: did you see from him? And what kind of player 97 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: is he that you know? In the background. I've seen 98 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: him play for a while. I might have played against 99 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: him in college. It's going to Stanford Southern. I might 100 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: have played against them in college. He's a good football player. 101 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Obviously it's just won practice. But sure it's a lot 102 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: to learn. It's a quarterback stepping in for your first day, 103 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: so true to continue to work. You know, it's guys, whatever, 104 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: make sure so you got a little X man
