Speaker 1: Far out was the maybe not the greatest play on
Speaker 1: the pick six, So you you were checking out of
Speaker 1: that because you saw something. What went on from there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we just got into in a second play.
Speaker 2: You know, we had ba as my first option on
Speaker 2: the left. I felt like wasn't there, so I came
Speaker 2: backside to Christian and you know it was it's somewhat
Speaker 2: of a safe play that we had on and it's
Speaker 2: really one to two, and so I just tried to
Speaker 2: getting the ball to Christian being backed up, felt like
Speaker 2: I was in the end zone and wanted to get
Speaker 2: the ball out. So, you know, looking back at it now,
Speaker 2: obviously it was in a lot of coverage and stuff.
Speaker 2: Christian had a bunch of guys around him, so on
Speaker 2: my end, I didn't put him in the best position,
Speaker 2: and obviously our team in the best position. So I
Speaker 2: gotta learned from it.
Speaker 1: What kind of goes through your mind there? Your teamates
Speaker 1: always say you were the same You're the same guy.
Speaker 1: Are you the same guy? In your head when something
Speaker 1: like that happens, the crowd's going crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously we're up by three scores, three touchdowns,
Speaker 2: and and uh, then we just give them one like that.
Speaker 2: So now there it's a two score game. So now
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's real and game is back in
Speaker 2: the play it felt like in terms of them being
Speaker 2: back in the game. So for myself, it's all I
Speaker 2: gotta be smart with the ball up. At the same time,
Speaker 2: I still got to have that aggressive edge to myself
Speaker 2: and not being afraid, you know, to rip stuff in
Speaker 2: tight windows still and move the ball, get first downs
Speaker 2: and score touchdowns. That's where I was out of my
Speaker 2: mindset moving forward. So obviously it suck going through it.
Speaker 2: Got to learn from it, but in terms of who
Speaker 2: I am and playing this position, that can't change. And
Speaker 2: so that's what I had to keep telling myself.
Speaker 1: The touchdown that it was not very long after Kyle
Speaker 1: said it was not the throw we thought you were
Speaker 1: gonna make. It was something underneath what you're just you're
Speaker 1: determined to make that throw. Do you do you know
Speaker 1: that thing's going to be open when you're dropping back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not like, all right, I messed up,
Speaker 2: and you know, I got to prove myself or to
Speaker 2: my team that I can make a big play to
Speaker 2: get us back in. It's nothing like that, you know,
Speaker 2: we had actually ran the ball really well that drive,
Speaker 2: and so for myself it was all right, be smart
Speaker 2: with the ball, take what the defense gives me. So
Speaker 2: we sort of had like a rollout set up play
Speaker 2: and I just went through my progression. I felt the safety.
Speaker 2: He came down on the right side just enough for
Speaker 2: BA to get behind him and I ripped it. But obviously,
Speaker 2: like you know, looking back on it, there's there's a
Speaker 2: guy underneath as a checkdown that was open to that
Speaker 2: would have been a big gain and for us to
Speaker 2: eat the clock up and stuff. But like I said,
Speaker 2: went through the progression, trusted in BA being there and
Speaker 2: just let it rip. Brought me on.
Speaker 1: Christians touchdown RNE and didn't look very promising. I think
Speaker 1: he was like at the thirteen yard line a bunch
Speaker 1: of trap and.
Speaker 2: What was your view of that? And are you surprise
Speaker 2: he did that?
Speaker 1: But still how.
Speaker 2: Pressive was Yeah? I mean Christian makes runs like that
Speaker 2: all the time. I don't know if people really realize it,
Speaker 2: you know, just the open field and stuff. What looks
Speaker 2: like isn't much, you know, he he just keeps his
Speaker 2: motor rolling. Guys get behind him and push or he'll
Speaker 2: uh you know, just spin out of something and get
Speaker 2: a couple of extra yards and on that play, it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, we're gonna be down inside whatever the
Speaker 2: ten And then he just kept going and fighting and driving,
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, that's that's Christian McCaffery. Man, he's
Speaker 2: a dog and you just never know when he's gonna
Speaker 2: keep going or get out of something. So for him
Speaker 2: to do that didn't really surprise me. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, like you know, I look up to I
Speaker 2: look up to that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He gives us a.
Speaker 2: Spark man and an energy to the offense when we
Speaker 2: need it most. So respect to him.
Speaker 1: What's going through your mind when you went back and
Speaker 1: kill health next week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we just wanted Thanksgiving. You know, we're gonna
Speaker 2: enjoy this one. We're gonna, you know, take the next
Speaker 2: couple of days to recover and clear our minds and whatnot,
Speaker 2: and when we get to the game plan, we'll get
Speaker 2: to it, you know, next week. But I'm enjoying it
Speaker 2: right now. Obviously it's gonna be a big one on
Speaker 2: the road and stuff. We know that, everyone knows that.
Speaker 2: But we're just taking one day at a time and
Speaker 2: and we're gonna enjoy this one.
Speaker 1: Is just having the full faith that is gonna get
Speaker 1: to that spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's sort of where we're talking about
Speaker 2: earlier this week, just him being where it needs to be.
Speaker 2: And obviously I wish I could have, you know, hit
Speaker 2: him more throughout the game and stuff, but when we
Speaker 2: needed it the most, you know him being there. And
Speaker 2: you know, as a receiver, never you never know. You
Speaker 2: know when that ball's coming your way. NBA did his
Speaker 2: job and I got him the ball in the right
Speaker 2: spot and you made the rest happen getting it getting
Speaker 2: into the end zone. But that's that trust, man. It's
Speaker 2: the faith in each other. That what we do every
Speaker 2: single day at practice and stuff, and then it's showing
Speaker 2: on the field.
Speaker 1: So it feels good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was sweet. I mean just growing up, you know,
Speaker 2: you're with your family and stuff watching the NFL games
Speaker 2: go on. You see the postgame interviews and the turkey legs,
Speaker 2: and it's just like a good time, you know, watching
Speaker 2: it with your family. So to be able to be
Speaker 2: out with my teammates after the game on a on
Speaker 2: a win on the road, you know, eating some turkey
Speaker 2: legs and stuff like that, it was fun. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be something we'll look back on and smile about and whatnot.
Speaker 2: So very thankful your teammates on.
Speaker 1: Social media, you heard or saw the announcement that you
Speaker 1: want the Player of the Week award this week. What
Speaker 1: does that kind of support mean to you? And did
Speaker 1: you hear about that or see that or what does
Speaker 1: that mean to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw, you know, Kyle and some of
Speaker 2: the PR people told me, you know that that I
Speaker 2: had wonted last week and stuff. So it was cool.
Speaker 2: And then my teammates, you know, have my back, and
Speaker 2: you know, going through a three game stretch like we
Speaker 2: did and losing and then coming out and just playing
Speaker 2: football and winning again. So for them to have my
Speaker 2: back through all of it, man, it's just it's real.
Speaker 2: You know, the love is real. And I appreciate every
Speaker 2: single one of those guys in the locker room and
Speaker 2: I want to go to war with them every day
Speaker 2: and and so to see them, you know, just sort
Speaker 2: of show some love like that after the game was awesome.
Speaker 2: So love these guys. Touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You waited for Brandon on the sideline and looked like
Speaker 1: you had a pretty intense moment there.
Speaker 2: What was that about, man. I mean we had to
Speaker 2: talk you know, throughout the year and stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: like after practices and stuff. It's like, man, you know,
Speaker 2: we have an opportunity to do something real special here,
Speaker 2: you know, like hey, him and I Deebo, Christian George.
Speaker 2: But I always talk to like BA like, man, like
Speaker 2: time's coming. Man. I know, I know you're hungry for it.
Speaker 2: We could all tell because you know, he goes ball
Speaker 2: to the wall, you know, like a practice and meetings.
Speaker 2: He does everything right and so you know for me
Speaker 2: to you know, tell him, you know, a week after
Speaker 2: week like it's coming, it's coming, and then finally we're
Speaker 2: seeing it. It's it feels good just to know that, man,
Speaker 2: the work that we put in, the trust, the talks,
Speaker 2: you know, we're seeing it now. Obviously we have a
Speaker 2: long ways to go and stuff, and it's gonna be
Speaker 2: game by game, day by day. But I'm really happy
Speaker 2: for him. He's a really good receiver, and I think
Speaker 2: I think he you know, I think he deserves more
Speaker 2: credit around the league and stuff, but that time will come.
Speaker 2: Thanks
