1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, give me one second. Here. We'll start with

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan, followed by Matt Forture. Hey, Stefan, how are

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: you yea? How you doing good? Uh? I wanted to

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: ask you a little bit about the mindset of the

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: group having won four or five and yourself personally going

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: into this matchup against the Rams, and where you feel

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: things are at collectively. Yeah, I think we UM. You know,

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: we took a step forward this last couple of weeks.

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: We're trying to get burn and very week and you know,

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: I feel like we we got a great team coming

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: in UM this week is the Rams. You know, they

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: have a great team, great defense, great offense. UM. So

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's another Marriager in stake of UM.

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: You know where we want to be. You know, we

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: have to go through these guys to get to where

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: we want to go. So I feel like, you know,

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: the other opportunity you want from then to play these guys.

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Phillips was talking after the game yesterday about the

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: identity of this defense and you guys being kind of

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: a punch first type of defense. UM, what are your

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? And you know, is is that part

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: of who you are as well, or you want to

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: establish yourself and not be you know, reacting and is

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: that defense kind of taken on that mentality, and I

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: think we have an aggressive mindset, you know, going to

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: each every every game, we you know, we try to

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: throw the first point, first plunch, and you know, I

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: feel like we play physical, you know, in the back

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: end and up front, and um, we feed off each other,

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: whoever may play lea exciting for each other, and we

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: try to keep that going each and every week. Thanks

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: not vture followed by my increase stuff. On the last

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: time you, uh you played the Rams, you had a

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: pretty memorable moment in there that for that that interception

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: is is there uh is there a picture of that

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: or something from that game or something from that thing

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: in your house right now? Is there something that uh

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: you took from that moment that uh that that that

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: you've you've kind of kept as as as as it keepsake.

40
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: I have a picture of that in my house, um

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: on my wall, and obviously I have the trophy you

42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: know that reminds me at that moment, but um, you know,

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: it was one of the best parts of my career,

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: you know, playing in that game against those guys, and um,

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: you know it's the new year. You know, they kind

46
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: of have the same players, they have the same quarterback coach,

47
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: and um, it would be a big opportunity for they

48
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: playing great ball right now. So I'm just looking forward

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: forward to it. When you think back to something like that,

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: is that kind of when you're is the sort of

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the feeling in the and and being in a moment

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: like That's something that's still fuels you when you prepare

53
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: now to try to try to keep keep moving forward,

54
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: keep getting better, to keep keep being successful. I just

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: think it's just you know, a memory, one of a

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: great memory of my career being in New England. Uh,

57
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, something that you always remember, but you know

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: it take a lot of hard work to get there

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: in those big moments, and uh, you know, it's just

60
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: a big moment that you that you always remember. I

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's nothing bigger than that. Next question my priest,

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: followed by Zach Cox. Hey, Stefan, how you doing you good?

63
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Is it important to just make sure you're representing South

64
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Carolina just where you are? That's our calculated move right there. Uh,

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: actually I just brought it um a pathetically. I always

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: wear my stuff sometimes, so I always tell people that,

67
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, we had a real USC, so I try

68
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: to try to I wear it up here. There you go. Um,

69
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: So Thursday night, it's gonna be great. Everyone's gonna be watching.

70
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: We had two of the top corners in the game

71
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: on both sides. Um. I know I've talked to you

72
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: in the past about Jalen. I mean you're studying receivers,

73
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: not necessarily him, but you also know great corners. Like

74
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: just what are your thoughts on his game and sort

75
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: of like, do you guys have much of a connection

76
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: outside of just respecting each other's game. Yeah, I definitely

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: respect his game. He's one of those young guys that

78
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: came in the league and you can always you could

79
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: tell from the jump where he's gonna be a special player.

80
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, I talked to him this offseason. We did

81
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm like a Instagram live thing together. We a little

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: bit on social media, and uh, you know, I'm happy

83
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: for him, you know, him being in LA now you

84
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: know having as he's having. Um, you know, he's you know,

85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: one of those athletic guys that can do it all

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: that place physical, They can run, they can cover anybody.

87
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: You know athletic, and I just think he has You're

88
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a great loan career, and he keep working

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: and and keep having that mindset that he has. And

90
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: then I had one other one, Steff. There was one

91
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: play yesterday, third down play. You were lined up across

92
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: from Keenan. I don't know if you'll remember what I'm

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: talking about, but you jammed them and it was a

94
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: pretty powerful jam. And my first thought was ty would

95
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: thy law would be proud seeing something like that. Um,

96
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, I mean, does that remind you of

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: Tie at all? And and is there any connection, you know,

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: like with you guys. You know, I know you guys

99
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: have hung out together and talk to each other, but

100
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: is that like is that part of your game that

101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: you sort of look at Tye and say, hey, you know,

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: like I modeled, not model myself after it? Yeah, for sure.

103
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: You know, obviously everybody know Ty was a great corner.

104
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: He played the game very physical. Um. You know, I

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: always try to you know, do um you know, get

106
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: physical with receiver at certain moments of the game, you know,

107
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: not not play the same technique each and every snap

108
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: to switch it up. So um, yeah, I mean, you

109
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: know those guys paid the way. You know, I looked

110
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: up to like guy like Tyle low and and try

111
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: to take little things that what he did to alter

112
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: it to my game. So um, you know the game

113
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: has changed since he played. You know, he probably could

114
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: have could have could have donned a little more. But

115
00:06:50,720 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, I take it next questions at Cox here stuff,

116
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: I realize that you got or I notice that you

117
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: guys were able to disrupt a lot of passes in

118
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: last night's game. I believe you had overall the team

119
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: you out of season high in pass breakups. I was

120
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: wondering just if that was a point of emphasis going

121
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: into this game, or if that's just kind of something

122
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: that happens when you're playing good all around defense. I

123
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: just think we you know, we got up on them,

124
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: and you know, we we made it a one dimensional game.

125
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, we made them start passing the ball and

126
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: they gave us more opportunities to make plays on the ball.

127
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: And I think if we do that, you know, we

128
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: stopped to run, We played complimentary football. We get up

129
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: on them. I think we played the entire hand and

130
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: that allowed us to make plays. Pass one moment. If

131
00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: there's any final questions okay, thanks Steph. Appreciate everyone,
