1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, James. How are you doing fine? About yourself?

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you? That was about as complete a

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: win as your team has had all season, wasn't it.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: It was um all three phases made plays in the

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: game to make a difference, and it's always good when

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: you can play like that. Special teams came with huge defense,

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: played great offensively, and you know, made the right plays

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: in situation football, scoring the red area. So give us

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: something to build off of. James, you ever feel like

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton hoggs the rushing touchdowns, I feel like in

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: other years, maybe you can hand it to you and

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: he's got He's got eleven rushing touchdowns now on the season,

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: and wherever he gets it asident it doesn't matter who

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: it is. Uh, he's really good down there in the

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: red area and when you had to one, two, three

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: yard line and making plays and be able to get

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: the football out, so by any means necessary, and nobody

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: really cares who gets a touchdown. James, I'll admit to

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: actually almost being concerned for I'm excited every time they

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: get the ball in your hands, but sometimes I'm a

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: little concerned for you because you get a lot of

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: those passes from Cam, I think three of the first

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: five pass plays called yesterday we're screen passes, and a

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of them are those uh misdirection screens behind the

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage to you and sometimes you sneak through

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: and it's a big play, and then sometimes it seems

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: like you just get like you just get it hammered

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: back there on that line. How do you how do

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: you practice for those? I mean, that's just got to

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: be preparing for those linebackers and those d linemen coming

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: at you like a million miles an hour. That's just

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: got to be rough. I mean, we pore a pretty

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: good screen team obviously trying to have that much success

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: on it yesterday, but I know Damie had a good

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: one to start a game, all the things of that nature.

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: But I mean they're prepared for us. You gotta get

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: credit to them. You just happen sometimes, But we'll continue

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: to get better at it, and they've usually get a

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of explosive plays out of that, so continue to

40
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: work at it. Cam Newton was twelve of nineteen throwing

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: the football yesterday today, but he only threw for sixty

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: nine yards. He did have the big touchdown pass to

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Nikil Harry overall, how did you think you're passing attack

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: look yesterday, Well, we probably left some plays out there,

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: for sure. We imagine nature of the game. Not every

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: game again, throw for three hundred yards and sometimes not

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna rush for one hundreds some yards. He's gotta find

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: ways and win football games, he said. Defense especials play great.

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: We played on a short field probably a lot of

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the game too, so we necessarily need to throw the

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: ball that much to win. Um, just do whatever it takes.

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Necessarily about the stats, Like I said, sometimes three hundred

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: sometimes through for a hundred is what it is, as

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: long as you get to win. I'm curious how like

55
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: the dynamic in the running back room how that is

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: because all of you guys sort of like take turns

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: as far as like who's having the big game? And

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, last year it was way more Sonny Michelle

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: than Damien Harris, and now Damian Harris is kind of

60
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: taken over. Even with the return of Sony. There are

61
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: some games where you know you might be targeted eight

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: nine times in the pass game and other games where

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: it's much less than that. Do you think the fact

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: that all of you guys came from college teams where

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: you kind of shared the backfield there. Does that help

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: in the ability to sort of support each other and

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: then knowing that it might be your turn next week

68
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: to have the big game? Yeah, they probably helps a

69
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: little bit. And I said, we all know we're not

70
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: going to be out there, you know, sixty plays, things

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: that nature, So we want to capitalize the opportunities that

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: we get. We compete one another and make each other better.

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: You know. I let each other know what we see

74
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: out there on the field, so we can whoever's out

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: there out there and do whatever needs to be done.

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: I said, no Baker in or anything in our running

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: back room. We cheer from one another, least try and

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: compete make plays. So, James, we saw the Patriots defense

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: again with another impressive performance against a mobile quarterback yesterday,

80
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: picking off Herbert, blitzing him, getting to him, hitting him,

81
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: keeping him in the pocket. You contain somebody that's exploded

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: on a number of other teams. I'm wondering, had you

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: seen this defense like the storm rising with the defense

84
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: the way that Ucha is going off now Winovich is

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: playing at a different gear. Must be great for you

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: guys to be able to practice against them because you

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: see it coming and it's also keeping you guys sharper

88
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, I mean, I think as a whole thing,

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: everybody's just trying to build each week In New Yorn't

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: we wanted to be earlier on in the season each

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: week and then everybody's regressively trying to get better playing

92
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: that complimentary football game. Defense has been building officely, we're

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: still building, especially since been getting better and better each week.

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: So hopefully just keep finding ways to improve. I only

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: have a few guaranteed opportunities less, so that made the

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: most up in a follow up. So now big win

97
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: at the same stadium. You're going to be playing another

98
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: game in just three and a half days. Sounds like

99
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: you might be a little tired, probably a little bit.

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Story just flew across the country. You just played three

101
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: hours of car act. You know, just big game against

102
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: the against the Chargers. Right now, how do you get

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: your body in your mind right for a football game

104
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: away from your comfort zone with just like you got

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: about eighty hours to get comfortable, get your muscles right

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and take on the Rams. Yes, sure, weekum, let's do

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: every can recovery wise, Listen, weights things that answer. Study

108
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: up on your opponent, the Rams or another good football team.

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: They've been playing well all year loan, so there'll be

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: a challenge for us. Um, you's got to study up

111
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Just do every Canada you know,

112
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: make sure you're at your best come Thursday. Finally, before

113
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: we let you go, what is the logistics of being

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: at UCLA like for you? As we understood it, there's

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: not going to be much socializing even with teammates within

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: the hotel. With the lockdown requirements in Los Angeles, you

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: can't leave campus. What do you do with yourself outside

118
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: of football all week? Staying your room, your room, watching

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: them here Washington whatever you know, watch the TV, whatever

120
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: you do. But let's trying to stay up one of

121
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: your opponent as much as possible. I mean, you got

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: plenty of time, um at not too much big groups

123
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. So pray by yourself a

124
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of the time. Um, but there's plenty of time

125
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: for us to study up one of your opponent as

126
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: much as possible and the extra bed. Queen's gamb It

127
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: on Netflix is good. Right now, you can watch Queen's

128
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: gamp It on Netflix. James thank you. Congratulations on the wind.

129
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. No problem thanking, Take Share,
