1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Ay Julian obviously looking at the box, or you'd a 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: hundred and five snaps yesterday? What does that feel like 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: the next day? Uh? Yeah, somebody told me that my 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: stamps must have been high. I was in then to 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: lift this morning, and uh, I mean, I feel sore, 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like I always feel sore, 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I try to go hard on 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: him in there, and yeah, we'll see, We'll see how 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: I feel the next day. And so yeah, it's kind 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: of crazy too. And that's the second time in my 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: career I've been over a hundred. What was the other time, 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: But I think it was maybe my rookie or maybe 13 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: second year, maybe my rookie year because it was against 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles at the Eagles and I was starting, but 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: then I was also on all four phases of special 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: teams and so yeah, I added up real quick catch. 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: And that's one other thing. I just about your tackling, 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think you missed very many, 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: like you're always kind of like good for and cackling. 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Just like it's all more observations than a question like 21 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: where does that come from? Like why are you such 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: an attacker? I guess, yeah, I appreciate that. I don't know, 23 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: I take I didn't. I feel like, if you kind 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: of analyze everything I've ever said to you guys for 25 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: the past four years, I always say I take prior 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: of my tackling, and I think it's serious. I attributed 27 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: to being just a kid playing pick up ball all 28 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: the time like that. It's like, you gotta be a 29 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: good tackler. If you weren't, you were seen as like 30 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: the soft kid in the neighborhood. And so I take 31 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: it seriously. I work at it. I really grind away 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: at it. And yeah, in college as a corner I 33 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: was probably the most efficient on my team. It goes 34 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: back to high school. Um, I think it's just you know, 35 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: not being afraid to be physical. And also I don't 36 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: look at it, but I packed some strength. I really 37 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: kind of go at it in the weight room, and 38 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: so I'm able to to, uh, you know, bring I 39 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: want to see people and what I bring to the 40 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: table and tackles and so yeah, it's just it's a 41 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: whole mixture of things. But I really grind at it. Thanks. Hey, Julian, 42 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: it's so Paul. Hey, um, um, what do you make 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: the tie. What do you make of what's going on 44 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: in the playoff race here? I know you guys are 45 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: focused on the Eagles, but you know, you're a sharp guy. 46 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: You know what's going on in the conference and the 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: division everything else. And the fact that after the Eagles 48 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: you have the Commanders again with maybe a sense of 49 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: unfinished business. I mean, what's what's going through your head 50 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: right now about what comes next? Yeah, it was weird 51 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: my first tie, UM, And I don't know, it just 52 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: felt like the game was ended. It was very weird. 53 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if IVE ever been in a situation 54 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: like that before. UM, And so yeah, I think we 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: put ourselves in a good position, uh, for this game, 56 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: for the game Washington that we tied, But yeah, we 57 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: just didn't make the play that needs to be made. 58 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: And there's a few out there for us, and so 59 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: if you make you know, if you feel like you 60 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: make one of those, the game goes a different way. 61 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: And so we do get another shot. Obviously. Uh, we're 62 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: still in this thing though. All hard work we put 63 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: in all season has put us in the position that 64 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: we still have, you know, opportunities in front of us, 65 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: and so yeah, we're taking it as that you know, 66 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: you recover. We try to get guys back, stay healthy. 67 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: But we take it, you know, as we still have 68 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: opportunities in front of us. You know, when you win 69 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: a game, you help yourself. You know, when you lose 70 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: a game, you hurt yourself. What did you guys do 71 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: to yourselves moving forward? After that game? I think in 72 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: the building it kind of felt like a loss. Um. 73 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's better than a loss, it's worse than 74 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: a win. It felt like a loss a lot of 75 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: us because we're competitors. We felt like we should have 76 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: won that game and um with the opportunities that we 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: were given. But that's you know, for every every game 78 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: you feel that way. UM. And so yeah, I think 79 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: we just chip away at and grind away at it 80 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: and we get another chance against them. But we have 81 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity in front of us with the Eagles, and 82 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: so it's the energy is the same. Dave's is pretty 83 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: consistent and how he is after win losses are now ties, uh, 84 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: in addressing what we did well and helping us address 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and correct what we didn't do well. And one last 86 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: thing from when you know about the playoff scenario, how 87 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: do you think that tie affects you. I'm not sure. Um, 88 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: I you know, usually I'm I'm pretty analytical and kind 89 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: of I'm staying all that stuff, But I'm not fully 90 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: sure the full breakdown of these last five games. Uh. 91 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I just know we there's some wins out there we 92 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: need that we need. Thank you, Brian dan Levy. Hey Julian, 93 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: how are you do well? How are you good? Before 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: I get to my question, what's up with the sweatshirt? 95 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: Is there a reason for that? Oh? Was it out 96 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: Corn State versus Jackson State? Uh? Just you know, the 97 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: creator of this hoodie was a black artist, and so 98 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: I got this just to kind of support that I'm 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: in support black owned businesses. Uh. Yes, A nice little 100 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: vintage uh crew neck. I'm a fan of crew necks. 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: For anybody's looking for a Christmas gift for me for 102 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: the holiday season, and so yeah, that's what this is. 103 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: I passed that onto your wife before you, Um what, Jolian, 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: what uh what'd you think of the job Nick McLeod did? 105 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we made a big deal about you playing 106 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: every snap, but Nick McLeod was a guy playing no 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: snaps now not long ago. Uh. The job he did 108 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: settling in there at number two corner. Yeah, Neck's a 109 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: good player. I think when we brought him in and 110 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: give it gave him a few opportunities early on. We ever, 111 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: I quickly realized how good of a player he is. Um, 112 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's definitely on the rise. He he 113 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: he's physical, Uh, he needs to be. He's good in coverage, 114 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: he's fast, and so he has a lot of ability 115 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: to him. And so yeah, I think go into the game, 116 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: we felt I felt extremely confident in him because I 117 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: know the type of competitor he is, and so he 118 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: has that way about him that gives people confidence. Uh. 119 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: And so yeah, well, I mean we're looking to build 120 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: off of his abilities because right now we need it. 121 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: And then the flip side of that, obviously, when a 122 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: guy plays that much, somebody else doesn't play road Darius 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: and play and certainly seemed upset about it on Twitter 124 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: as a captain, as a guy in the secondary, did 125 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: you pull him aside, did you say anything to him 126 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: about keeping his head up about bent frustrations on social 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: media and any kind of conversation between you and him 128 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: that you could share. You know, we didn't have one 129 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: on one. We kind of talked to the We're pretty 130 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: open in this building in our position groups. And so 131 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: the reality is and uh, it fluctuates now with a 132 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of guys up and down. You know, matchups are 133 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: just different this week, and so we some guys had 134 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: to step up. He wasn't really training in some positions. 135 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: And like you said, like I said, Nick mccleoud has 136 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: been showing a lot. It doesn't mean we feel any 137 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: less about our Darius or Darious and he came in today, 138 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: it was just kind of lost it on the film. 139 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: He had good energy for us on the sidelines yesterday. 140 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,799 Speaker 1: And so it's a tough situation. I've been there before. Um, 141 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: but you know, you stay resilient because you know your 142 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: time's coming. He's a really talented player and so we're 143 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna need him down this stretch for sure. Thanks joining, 144 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: thank you, We'll take one more. Art Stapleton and telling 145 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: what top you know you've been a part of teams before. 146 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean you go back to college. You guys knew 147 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: what it was like to to be in a championship hunt. 148 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: You know, you go, you go for a for a 149 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: playoff spot, you try and you know you know the 150 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: meaning of each game. You don't really put the stakes aside. 151 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: You kind of focus on the stakes of those games. 152 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: Now it seems like you know the stakes are here 153 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: for the first time for you guys, and you know 154 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: you want the week to week focus. Is that a 155 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: strange feeling to not throw the standings up on the 156 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: board and kind of zero win on Okay, this is 157 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: what we need to do this week versus this is 158 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: what we need to do next week? Like your mindset, 159 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: how do you know does that appeal to you or 160 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: are you one of those guys that loves to kind 161 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: of attack you know, Okay, if we do this and 162 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: they do that, and you know, here's where we stand. 163 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Because you said you were an analytics guy. So I 164 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: gotta imagine if someone through the playoff fabilities on your 165 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: on your stool in front of the locker, you'd be 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: the kind of guy who we look at them and 167 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: not really be distracted by anything else. Yeah. I think 168 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: as a leader of this team, I gotta have some 169 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: sort of a big picture mindset on things, um, But 170 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: for the day to day for guys who haven't been 171 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: in this position, for guys who, um, you know, are 172 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: looking to me for a way to feel about you know, 173 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: this this hunt and these last five games, I try 174 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: to keep as animal as possible and just kind of 175 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: focus on guys is getting better of each week. You know, 176 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: say we didn't tackle well this game, Let's work on 177 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: tackling this game, you know, and stuff like that, and 178 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: that keeps us shart focus um on uh what we 179 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: have in front of us, and so yeah, there's opportunities 180 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: right now, but we have um and yet I see 181 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: it sometimes and I kind of know what the situation 182 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: could be. But you know, I taken away from this 183 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: past game. Our energy was really good. Um, we put 184 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: ourselves in great positions. We got you know, turnover after halftime, 185 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: which I'm really excited about because you know, the game prior, 186 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: we didn't start fast in the second half against Dallas, 187 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: and so stuff like that is stuff we need to 188 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: build on and kind of get back to. Author don 189 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: numbers on defense are really good this game, and so 190 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: just things like that. I think I was stressing what 191 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: we needed to get to. We wanted to win, obviously, 192 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: but the captain and me was kind of gauging and 193 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: scoping out our energy and the things that I thought 194 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: we needed to get back to. And so going forward. 195 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: We gotta keep doing that and fall our way. Kind 196 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: of like what you said just following up on that, 197 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: is there almost a compartmentalization of it where there's a 198 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: group of guys on this team, whether it's the leaders, 199 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: the captains, that can look at big picture and see 200 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: where you're at. But also when you step inside that 201 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: locker room and it's the full fifty three, you kind 202 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: of have to deal with it a different way. And 203 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you're running any organization, it's important that 204 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: you keep a majority of people on that on that 205 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: short term focus, short term goals, uh, and then you 206 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: know it creates a long term effect. And yeah, I'm 207 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: right now, we're I'm a part of the captain. I'm 208 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: a part of that group that needs to look at 209 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: things going forward. UM. And that's been going on the 210 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: whole year, whether it's scheduling stuff, and that's just kind 211 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: of generally how it is, UM and Davids has done 212 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: a great job of keeping us focused on each week 213 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: to week but also letting us know. I mentioned before 214 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: how we quarter her out a season, and so we're 215 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: doing really the third quarter now, we didn't play as 216 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: clearly as we wanted to, as we as we did 217 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, the second quarter, so now this 218 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the season, we got to lock in 219 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: and really get what's in front of us.
