1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Hey, Rob, only one cash day, but you're very active

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: in the run game. Is that still a fun game

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: for you even though you might not have the impact

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: on the stat sheet. Yeah, that was. That was a

5
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: real fun game out there, just the way we were

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: executing whatever whatever coaches call, whatever plays we call, we

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: practice all week, blocking, receiving, no matter what it is,

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: whatever plays called. You just gotta go out there and

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: do your job. And we had a lot of run, run, run, action,

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: running plays and just gotta do your best job at it.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: And it was a great overall offensive unit that we

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: went out there and we just put plays together and

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: put up points. Rob. Today, the Chargers put together a

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: lot of six and seven defensive back packages. So for

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: you in the run blocking game, what's your approach to

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: essentially trying to clear away for the runners against that

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: particular alignment. Oh yeah, Well, I mean when you do

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: get that, you get a lot of defensive backs out there,

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: you just gotta you gotta run the ball. You gotta

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: put your hand down and yards the old way, the

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: old fashioned way, and that's by running the ball. And

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: we did a lot of that. We also had a

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: great job executing in the past game It opened up

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a lot of play actions, a lot of stuff like that.

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: So just being able to run the ball have four

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns I think Sonny had three. I mean, he did

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: great job. Everyone, the offensive line, we all did a

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: great job overall together. Rob Obviously, the first drive was

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: very impressive, the eighty three yards or whatever it was,

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: but it seemed like the most important drive maybe of

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the game, was the response drive to them tying the game,

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: and you guys march right down the field and in

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: the first half, it's just seemed like you guys set

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: an offensive tempo. What was it about the tempo you

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: were able to establish. Yeah, we went out there and

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: we were just driving the ball from the very beginning.

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean that first drive we had, it's always good

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: to put up points. I mean, how many ever plays

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: it was, it wasn't no gimme. It was just working hard, grinding,

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: getting the yards we can get, taken them and just

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: moving forward and Julian doing a great job on third

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: downs the ball, breaking a couple of tackles, getting the

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: first down. I mean, that couldn't be any more any

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: more huge of a play by him, and just overall

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: we just kept executing. We just kept grinding, We kept

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: pounding the ball, and we had to do what we

47
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: had to do. And that's what you want to do.

48
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Every time you touch the ball, you want to score.

49
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Rob When you were on the field, there seemed to

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: be this discernible increase in level in volume in the crowd.

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Do you feel the love from the crowd today? I

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: always feel the love from the crowd. I mean didn't

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: really have haven't been having all the reception stuff, but

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: I had one today and you could tell just it's

55
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: definitely great to get the love from them, even on

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: just the one catch, which is super neat rub along

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: those lines, it's it's possible. In your quotes, this is

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: your last game in Jolt Stadium, could you speak to

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: the possibility of that? And did you take a look

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: around after the game? Before the game, during the game

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: soaked that in. I was focused on the in la

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the whole game, and it's gonna be the same thing

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'm all in right now. We got to

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Now it's gonna be another week of

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: preparation and I haven't thought about anything like that. So

66
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I just gotta go all in, keep our focusing, keep

67
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: on doing what we gotta do, and I gotta keep

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: on doing what I gotta do to help this team

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: out to win next week. All right, So the game

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: is over and you haven't started preparing for next week yet,

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: So do your thoughts right now about that my thoughts

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: about you right now? Then I'm gonna have to enjoy

73
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the win. That's what we do. You did, you get

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: one night to enjoy the win. Actually, you're out here,

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: you do. You get one night and then when you

76
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow morning, it's on the Kansas City so

77
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: you get a couple hours. So I'll be doing that

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and then I'll be thinking about next week. Rob, What

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: do you think it says about you that you seem

80
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: to get similar satisfaction from maybe you know, clearing a

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: path for one of your teammates as you do from

82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, catching the ball yourself. And and can you

83
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: describe for what it's like when there's bodies like hanging

84
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: off you and you still don't go down? Uh? I

85
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: mean the run games huge. I mean I believe it's

86
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: it's a huge asset of the game, and it helps

87
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: open the pass game and it helps open the receivers.

88
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: In the past game, but running backs in the past

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: game and just to be able to run the ball,

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: to be able to block. I mean, I've always never

91
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: not taking it for granted, I've I've always loved run blocking.

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I love to do the balance of both. But whatever

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I get asked to do, whatever coaches wanted me to do, teammates,

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: and if it's run blocking, pass blocking, whatever going out

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: for a pass, I'm down to do. Sort of on

96
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: that point as a tight end, I was wondering if

97
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: you had any thoughts about sharing the field today with

98
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates. Not sure if it's his last game, but

99
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: he's been doing it since like two thousand and three.

100
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I was wondering if he's had any impact on your

101
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: career watching him, modeling anything after him, and what it

102
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: was like today. Yeah, I mean, Gates is a monster.

103
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I've been watching him since high school and just to

104
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: share the field with him again is definitely an honor.

105
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: Just always looking up to him ever since he's been

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: in the league. So got to see him after say

107
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: what's up to him and wish him best of luck

108
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: from whatever he does from here on out. But he's

109
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: a great player in a great moment, role model for

110
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: the league. Question, Frank, I know the Patriots slogan is

111
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of to ignore the noise. But after the game,

112
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Brady said, you know, people doubted us, people said we sucked.

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: What part of the ignore the noise are you able

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: to really realistically take and what kind of noise gets through?

115
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: And how do you use that for motivation? I mean,

116
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: you got in or the noise throughout the week. I mean,

117
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: you can't really get too amped up about it because

118
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: you gotta focus, you gotta do what you gotta do.

119
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: But you do hear things like that, but you got

120
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: to ignore it in a way where it doesn't, you know,

121
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: ruin your preparation, ruin what you're trying to do, ruin

122
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: what you're trying to accomplish that week. So if you

123
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: take it in, if you take it for motivation, that's great.

124
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: But other than that, you can't let it get you down.

125
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: You've got to keep on preparing how you prepare every week.

126
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: But we've been hearing things like that for forever now,

127
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: for a few years, so we just laugh at whatever

128
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: whatever they say, and we just keep moving forward. All right, guys,

129
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: thank you
