Speaker 1: Welcome to this week seventeen postgame victory edition of the

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kolera. The Browns took

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: down the Pittsburgh Steelers in Huntington bank Field on Sunday

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: by a final score of thirteen to six. On this episode,

Speaker 1: you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Shade or Sanders,

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and defensive end Miles Garrett. Up first, here's your head

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski with his thoughts on the win.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean they have to play and empty the entire

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: game and chip both sizes or two eligibles you know

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: that aren't getting out in the route immediately, So it

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: affects how teams play.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: Us coming you talked about the way this the effort

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: and the way these guys are playing. You know, the

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: way this season has gone, it would have been easy

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: for a lot of people would seem.

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: To kind of pack things up. What is it about

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 4: this group that they don't seem.

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 5: To Yeah, I just I know this group too well.

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: I know how important this game is to them, how

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: important it is to me.

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: We only know one way.

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 6: What can you say about Denzelder at the end, Sure,

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 6: Rogers targeted all game and then yeah, he played really well.

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: You know, he's a great player. Great to have him

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: back out there. You know, that's a lot of time

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: there for a Hall of Famer. So we knew they

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: were gonna make their plays, but our guys made one

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: more than they did.

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 7: What can you say, just in general about this defensive

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 7: effort to hold them down and hold Aaron Rodgers.

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: Down the way they did outstanding, outstanding, and.

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: A bunch of individual efforts, obviously Miles getting all the

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: attention he got. I thought Tyson was outstanding. I thought

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Carson battled and fought like he always does and ends

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: up tackling the guy to the ground. You know, just

36
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of individual efforts and just that was what

37
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: was required today.

38
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: Talk about individual efforts. The special things have been sort

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: of aligned all season.

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: But when you needed the field clip, how big was

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: that punt that.

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: Corey got off?

43
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: That was that was that was huge?

44
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: You know, Drake coming through in his field goal attempts,

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Corey when we needed him, doing a great job playing

46
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: that field position game.

47
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought the guys did a great job.

48
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 7: About Shador, How do you wrap up Shador's performance today?

49
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously he wins, you know, got to win. So

50
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: that's great for the young man, gets to beat Pittsburgh,

51
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: gets to beat a division rival. So uh, it's it's

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: they're always they're not gonna be easy, not in this division.

53
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: So proud of them for that. There's always things he

54
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: can clean up. I thought we got a little unlucky

55
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: on that first interception. We can certainly learn from the

56
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: second one, and he will. But yeah, he continued to battle.

57
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 8: Okay, now, what do you think changed that? Because it

58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 8: seemed like Sor was really in control and soul. You know,

59
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 8: he got a hit on that first in exception that wasn't.

60
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 9: Really used for.

61
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 8: But after that, you know, just some mistakes maybe you

62
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 8: would have liked to have back.

63
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: What do you think maybe change.

64
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't think any change. Anything changed, Daniel. I think

65
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: it's a good defense. You know, we made a few

66
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: plays early. We'll look at the ways that we can

67
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: make a few plays later.

68
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 7: To how hard is it to lose Harold your top

69
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 7: weapon in a game like this.

70
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was unfortunate.

71
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: You know, had the four tight ends up just because

72
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: of that injury on Friday. So he's a huge part

73
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: of what we do you saw it right away when

74
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: it happened. But that was an incredible job adjusting to

75
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: that football. It was a good read by Shador and

76
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 2: then to get in the end zone was great. But yeah,

77
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: he was missed.

78
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: Like you can imagine, Kevin did let it reaggrevate the cab.

79
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: It looked like Carson was fighting through something. Did you

80
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: see that too?

81
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was fighting through I'll update you guys tomorrow,

82
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: but a bruise.

83
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: And then you.

84
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 6: Mentioned the winning at home in your opening, but just

85
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 6: how special was it to win the finale.

86
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: This year after Yeah, you know, we love playing in

87
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: front of our fans.

88
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: We love that they stick with us, We love the

89
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: energy that they bring to this building, and we wanted

90
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: to reward them with a win versus a division Opponent's.

91
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 7: Some satisfaction in preventing the Steelers from from clinching today

92
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 7: on your breath.

93
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Honestly, Mary Kay, that's a division game. That's really all

94
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: you have to say. I'm aware of all those type

95
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: of things, but that's not what's important to us.

96
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: How much was the wind a factor?

97
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: Is that why you didn't go for the one huge factor?

98
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Didn't know that the wind was going to be it's

99
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: as significant as it was today. Thought there'd be more precipitation.

100
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: There was not, at least throughout the game so early,

101
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: just watching through pregame, thought that it would be the

102
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: best thing to take that football and then get the

103
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: win in the fourth try the long field.

104
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 7: You talked about this a little bit, but what is

105
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 7: it about this football team that they are fighting so

106
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 7: hard and they show so much heart and soul and

107
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 7: here they are at the end.

108
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just our dna Mary kay.

109
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Obviously, I know it's we can talk about the big

110
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: picture later, but in the meantime, small picture, a division

111
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: opponent in front of us. They love playing together, they

112
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: love playing next to you know, their brothers, and that's

113
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: just what we're about.

114
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you guys, Next quarterback shoot or Sanders have.

115
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: A big statement.

116
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 6: So how next field should to get the win against,

117
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 6: you know, a rival team that was trying to clinch

118
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 6: a playoffs fot.

119
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 10: It felt good, felt good getting to win overall, and

120
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 10: especially the team we won against. I think it's a

121
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 10: bittersweet because I feel that offense, we gotta do our part.

122
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: I gotta do my part, you know a little bit more.

123
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 10: We can't be happy with only ten points ten thirteen, Yeah,

124
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 10: thirteen points on the board, so you know, we just

125
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 10: got to be able to to put more points to.

126
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 4: Get that win though. Your first win here at home.

127
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 4: How cool it's that in front of the fans.

128
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, it's extremely exciting to get to win at home.

129
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: For sure.

130
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 10: I ben't need to win at home for a minute.

131
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 10: So that's that's what's good. That's what I'm excited for

132
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 10: that we brought that feeling back in this place.

133
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: You started out hot, the first two series went worked

134
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: out of the field, and then there was a lot

135
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Do they get.

136
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: Jus team or it's just a tough fuck game.

137
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 10: Throughout I'm not sure. I'm not sure honestly. Like they

138
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 10: got good players, they got good coaches too, So of course, whenever,

139
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 10: whenever we're having a lot of success, they're gonna make

140
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 10: it Smiths and everything. But I haven't watched the film

141
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 10: to be able to know, you know exactly, I know,

142
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 10: h it was a couple passes, you know, like for

143
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 10: sure to get back down to the check down, to

144
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 10: get back down to there, but I just didn't do it.

145
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 10: So you know, it's just something to learn from.

146
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: You just maybe address the nice job that hero old

147
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 7: Bannon did on the touchdown catch and then how tough

148
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 7: was it then to see him have to leave the

149
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 7: game after that.

150
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: With the grain entry.

151
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I kind of like we kind of

152
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 10: knew going into the game he was banged up, so

153
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 10: it wasn't really like super surprising. You know, we got

154
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 10: we got great players on a hungry dogs. So, uh,

155
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 10: Sal was able to come back in and be able

156
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 10: to get his feet wet.

157
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: The conversation with that, I heard Snoop called you, uh

158
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: before the game, just you know, no.

159
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: I call him, So.

160
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 10: I think I think I think I don't know, I

161
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 10: got a chech the phone, but I think I had

162
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 10: like a miscall from him and then or text something.

163
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 5: I don't know that.

164
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Just call over like six point thirty. Call him.

165
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 10: I'm like, dang, bro, why are you still up?

166
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 9: He was like, Bro, I'm excited.

167
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 11: Bro.

168
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: He was excited they just got to win.

169
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 10: And he you know, he was definitely words of encouragement

170
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 10: and stuff for me. But that's just how he is. Like,

171
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 10: don't he not just doing that just because it gives them,

172
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 10: you know, a chance. Now, I think I think the

173
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 10: overall person he is, and the time that we spent together,

174
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 10: he did nothing but speak life and to me, and

175
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 10: I truly appreciate him for that.

176
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 12: Sure, how much you guys as an offense front, who

177
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 12: appreciate what Andre Schids been able to do since the

178
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 12: early season struggles and now he's been so consistent.

179
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll say just the relationship with Andrey for sure.

180
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 10: We had a conversation, you know, when he was going

181
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 10: through it, you know, and then since then, since then,

182
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 10: it had been nothing but up. So I'm very happy

183
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 10: that he was able to get out that hole that

184
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 10: he was in and that he's able to see the

185
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 10: other side of things.

186
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 9: Uh.

187
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 10: I think, like that's that's the only thing I think

188
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 10: about whenever I look at him, whenever I see him,

189
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 10: I'm like, I'm just excited. I'm just happy that that

190
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 10: that he was able to see the other side of things.

191
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: How impressure was that performance by the defense? Did you

192
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: gotta stop scoring for a bit? They were able to?

193
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the That's how the Browns defense usually is.

194
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 10: That's how they usually are.

195
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 12: Or seven weeks ago, you came into a home game

196
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 12: against the Baltimore Ravens and you felt that you didn't

197
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 12: play that well in your first opportunity. What would you

198
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 12: say about your maturation and your growth since then to

199
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 12: have this home victory against a division rival, to Pittsburgh Steelers.

200
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 10: I'll say overall, I'm able to see the field and

201
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 10: the game slow down, for sure. I think, Uh, the

202
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 10: main the main thing is is like I just like

203
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 10: throwing the ball. I just like throwing the ball a lot.

204
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 10: And you know, in some situations you can't just throw.

205
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 5: Your dog a bone. Sometimes you gotta.

206
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 10: You gotta be able to know, like when it's calculated risk.

207
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 10: But like, I feel like our players are better than

208
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 10: their player. So I just gave my guy a chance

209
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 10: and just we just ain't come down with it. And

210
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 10: that's just how I go.

211
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 8: A lot of a lot of the vets in the

212
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 8: locker room, we're talking about how you know, they're not

213
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 8: really worried about draft pick position and stuff like that,

214
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 8: and how really like they're focused players about you know,

215
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 8: especially especially Joey, he said, this is about sitting in

216
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 8: culture for a lot of young guys like you. In

217
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 8: the Wichard class, you've talked about changing the culture here.

218
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 8: How do you think that this win, you know, takes

219
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 8: a step forward and doing that.

220
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: I think.

221
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 10: I think in the building and everything, we've been pretty

222
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 10: consistent with what we've been doing. The only difference is

223
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 10: now we got the result we were supposed to get,

224
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 10: you know, So I don't think the difference between a

225
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 10: win and loss is a couple of plays. It wasn't

226
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 10: about how you're going about your business, how you're doing everything.

227
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 10: Everybody's going about they've been in the same way. Everybody's

228
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 10: extremely locked in, extremely focused on what they got to do.

229
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 10: But today we just got the result we was looking for.

230
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: Did you know Snoop before he was here, whether you

231
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: were in training.

232
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 9: Camp not personally no So, how did.

233
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: That connection between you two develop as quickly as it did?

234
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 10: I think because I always smile and he always smiled.

235
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 10: I think that's what it is. And then we just

236
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 10: like just talk, you know, and had a conversation about

237
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 10: God and why he feels like he was sent here,

238
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 10: you know, just to give me the words of encouragement

239
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 10: to keep me going to understand history and understand how

240
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 10: things panned out for him. Also, so he always told

241
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 10: me be ready, and anytime I talk to him like

242
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 10: he always positive, And that's kind of like people with

243
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 10: the same vibe usually like get along.

244
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: With each other. Did you watch last time?

245
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 10: I was like one drive and then I went to sleep.

246
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 10: Ye'a'll be going to sleep early nowadays. I feel like

247
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 10: I'd be running out of time.

248
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 7: Even though this season didn't really go the way that

249
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 7: you guys wanted it to, it really seems like there's

250
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 7: a close knit bond on his football team of brotherhood.

251
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 7: There's something special going out here. Can you sort of

252
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 7: describe what you know what that is and how you

253
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 7: feel about it.

254
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 10: I think I think it's a group of guys that

255
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 10: have been through a lot of things with their self

256
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 10: and I think we all like banding together and being one,

257
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 10: you know, through any situation, through like things that we

258
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 10: can't control, you know. We we all agree with a

259
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 10: lot of things, and I think I think we're the

260
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 10: cornerstone of this for this team.

261
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: If you could give yourself advice for that first time

262
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: you walked out of the field to where your it's

263
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: kind of like with you, yes, but if you could

264
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: set if you could give yourself a message.

265
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: Today for the first time you walked out through what

266
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: would you say?

267
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: What?

268
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 9: What what do you what did you need to know?

269
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 10: I'ld say, like, I'll say, definitely know you you supposed

270
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 10: to be out there dominating. I think I think what

271
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 10: you kind of got to understand also like sending everything

272
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 10: like that and just watching like it's a mental thing.

273
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 10: So it's like dang, you start questioning a lot of things,

274
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 10: you know, and then and then sometimes you got uh

275
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 10: like me, like before the game, stuff I got, I

276
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 10: have a lot of like built up anger like with

277
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 10: it within myself because like that that's why I gotta

278
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 10: play with that fire, with that different emotion within me,

279
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 10: you know. And I think I think when you go

280
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 10: out there the first time, I think it's more of

281
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 10: like dang, like this.

282
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 9: This dude over there, like they cool.

283
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 10: But then like when you actually out there, You're like,

284
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 10: I don't care who it is, I'm trying to dominate them,

285
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 10: you know. So I think it's that it's kind of

286
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 10: like what I do in the pocket sometimes, like whenever

287
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 10: people be falling and stuff. Yeah, kind of like that.

288
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: A little one, a little unrelated to football. I saw

289
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: a pre game that so we gited you as a

290
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: big carpet.

291
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 10: How was that you got it? Yeah, yeah, we got

292
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 10: at the house. Now, Yeah, I'm Uh, I really love gifts.

Speaker 10: I don't think for Christmas I got much. Uh So

Speaker 10: when my house got wrong, So appreciate that.

298
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Finally, defensive end Miles Garrett.

299
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 7: First of all, how are days? How good does it

300
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 7: feel to you know, to beat the Steelers, to prevent

301
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: them from clinching, and to close out the season like

302
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 7: that at home?

303
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 11: Yest, you know our rival, you always want to beat

304
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 11: them a matter of circumstances, and we line up, you know,

305
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 11: we want to beat those guys, and so I'm glad

306
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 11: to have the opportunity to do it and get the

307
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 11: job done.

308
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: Did you feel like it came close a couple of times.

309
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 9: Into that record, for sure?

310
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 11: But I mean they kind of fell in the same

311
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 11: line of thinking that the Packers did. You know, we'll

312
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 11: just throw everything at them and see if we can

313
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 11: we can muster effort to win without it.

314
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: How much you do feel, Miles that you presents like

315
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: until they dated them to throw as.

316
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 9: Quickly as they did quick I mean, that's them.

317
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 11: But of course they're gonna throw even quicker when I'm

318
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 11: lined up now on that side, you know they had

319
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 11: a chipper there, sometimes two chippers and uh shout getting

320
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 11: out quick. You know, sometimes they're rolling away. They're doing

321
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 11: a little bit of everything, and I kind of come

322
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 11: to expect that. I know they didn't want me to

323
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 11: be the one to break it against them.

324
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,119
Speaker 4: I know you talked about playing.

325
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 6: Hard at the ends and all that, but what does

326
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 6: it say about this team to do that and week

327
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 6: seventeen against the team trying to get to the playoffs.

328
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 11: So it's hard man shows grit. I'm proud of those

329
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 11: guys in there. You know it's not easy, you know,

330
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 11: getting up out of bed and you know, doing what

331
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 11: you're supposed to do, you know, taking care of business, preparing,

332
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 11: you know, the way you did at the beginning of

333
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 11: the season, knowing that the ending is in sight. But

334
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 11: that's how you you're measured as a as a man,

335
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 11: as a football player. Know what you're doing, you're backing

336
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 11: against the wall or or the writings against the wall.

337
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 11: So you know, those those guys had had a choice,

338
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 11: and you know we made the choice to come out

339
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 11: there and get the job done.

340
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 9: Get a win.

341
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 7: I supposed to see Denzel just close out that game

342
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 7: there in the end. You guys have been together so long,

343
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 7: and I mean, just how good did that be? Able

344
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 7: to see him be able to do that.

345
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 11: I mean, he's a foundational piece for a reason that

346
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 11: we got special. Anytimes he's on the field, he's a

347
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 11: game changer, he's he's a playmaker. So you know, I'm

348
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 11: not surprised that, you know, he was the one that

349
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 11: they came up with the big play to win it

350
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 11: for us.

351
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: Well, I was on the other side, Tyson his first

352
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: game and knew was like against these guys like three

353
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: days after you and just the way he is sort

354
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: of settled in and made I mean, I thought to night,

355
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: multiple plays you know that the winning plays to break

356
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: up pass its. Just what has he met on the

357
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: other side of that that that.

358
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 11: Second memory, I mean, the second day was crucial today.

359
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 11: And in general, you know, they're they're trying to get

360
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 11: it out quick. You know, we gotta be sticky in coverage,

361
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 11: you know, we gotta you know, I gotta be got

362
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 11: them quick, and I got to use those five yards

363
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 11: to you know, hold them up and try at least

364
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 11: give them give ourselves time to get to the rush,

365
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 11: but if not, you know, you gotta you gotta be

366
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 11: there when the ball's out.

367
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 9: And I mean they.

368
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 11: Were, they were everywhere they were, They were making plays

369
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 11: across the field. I mean dB DV punched out the ball.

370
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 11: There were multiple no forced fumbles from the the line

371
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 11: behind us. So those guys were, you know, just intent

372
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 11: on coming out of here with a win. And that's

373
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 11: the kind of, you know, kind of attitude we want

374
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 11: for the rest of the season.

375
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 7: How much do you guys also love to go out

376
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 7: there and lay it on the line and fight so

377
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 7: hard for Kevin Stefanski as as you're head coach.

378
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 11: I mean, we fight for each other. I mean that's everybody.

379
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 11: I mean it's not that I don't think they're fighting

380
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 11: so hard because of me. You don't think they're fighting

381
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 11: too hard because the Kevin will fight because you know,

382
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 11: we have each other.

383
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 9: This is the brotherhood.

384
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 11: You know, we don't get a second chance at this,

385
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 11: so you want you want to make the most of it.

386
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 11: Every time you step on the field, and you know

387
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 11: what they guy next to you has put into it.

388
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 11: You know what what he what this means to him,

389
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 11: And uh, you don't want to take this for granted.

390
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 9: You know, one second, Alix's Samer.

391
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: He doesn't just to drop up about draft picks. And

392
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 4: I know it's finished sentiment, but that's.

393
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 13: Always left for you guys.

394
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,240

395
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: the Bronco.

396
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 7: Just black with the drafted.

397
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 11: No one signed to lose, No one signed up to

398
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 11: lose at all. So I don't, I don't care know

399
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,919

404
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 11: Has always been that way. No, but I'll be damned

405
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 11: if I'm just gonna go out there and lay down

406
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 11: to another team just because we we want some more

407
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 11: draft picks.

408
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 9: That's just not me.

409
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 13: Happy early birthday of Miles On that last drive with

410
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 13: uh the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers, what were your thoughts

411
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 13: as he was moving the ball down the field, and

412
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 13: you guys are finally able to make that.

413
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 11: See, it's not gonna be us. I've seen it a

414
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 11: thousand times with this guy. I mean, he's incredible gonna happen,

415
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 11: but it's not gonna be us. I just gotta make

416
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 11: one play and stack those one play at a time,

417
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 11: gets fourth down and what happens happens. But it can't

418
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 11: let it be us. We can't be in his his

419
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 11: Hall of Fame room.

420
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: Still's confidence ever, you get the.

421
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 9: Record next week, absolutely, oh should not.

422
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 11: Be get four more quarters, sixty more minutes, but you

423
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 11: want to draw it up, it'll get done.

424
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 4: Seem like a couple of fars.

425
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you were very down and it was just

426
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: like almost like you take the football. I mean on

427
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: a couple of those places away. He was, you know,

428
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: just throwing it out there the Warren or game or

429
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: something like that. I mean, is that what you're talking about?

430
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: Just the way, even more so than the usual getting

431
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: rid of.

432
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 11: The ball foot Yeah, I mean to an extent, I

433
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 11: feel like they're they were more worried about keeping me

434
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 11: away from from Aaron than you know, getting to win.

435
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 11: And I think that's what came back to bottom. So

436
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 11: you know they'll have to, you know, if it out

437
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 11: with Baltimore next week. But I'm just proud of the

438
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 11: guys for fighting and getting this one. That's the main thing,

439
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 11: and I'm always gonna keep it that well, even though the.

440
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 7: Season didn't go the way that you guys wanted it to.

441
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 7: Is there something special about this team just in terms

442
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 7: of heart and soul and brotherhood and.

443
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,760
