1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Second time, you're playing on Thanksgiving Day. If I got 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: that right, Yeah, Dallas win. What's it like playing on 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day being one of those three prime time games? 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: It's dope. It's dope, especially when you have the opportunity 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: to go back home the same day, which we don't have, 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: so that that comment sucks. But other than that, just 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: knowing that you're one of the three games and you're 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: one of the games that everybody's watching. People who don't 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: normally get to see you get to actually turn on 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: the TV and watch it. It's fun. It's something that 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: you see as a kid and you aspire to get 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: to that moment and finally be able to do that 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: is it's like it's crazy yourself, like a slice of 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: Pumping Pier or something. The wife right on Friday. You know, 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: I ain't a punking Pope person, but I indulge in 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: and hitting the stuff that I like. You gotta ask 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: the the other teammates about me. I like to have 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: my my little sweets every now and then. I don't 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: know if you where you caught play high school football. 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: It's a big deal here on the Northeast. All the 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: high schools up day there Thanksgiving Day. A lot of 22 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: them are traditional. I don't know if you have any 23 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: memories of your high school. Yeah, yeah, so I'm from Texas. 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: Our big thing was you didn't really have games on 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving because by this time we were in the playoffs. 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: So he always wanted to make sure that you were 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: practicing on Thanksgiving. That was usually like we two of 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs, so that was kind of our one of 29 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: our mouthstones. You know, win district when the first playoff game, 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: and make sure you're practicing on Thanksgiving. So that was 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: always fun to do that. That's what I remember about that. 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: They're coming around a tough loss, but think of a challenge, 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: the big challenged. You know, every every team every year 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: pretty much has one of those those type of losses 35 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: where you just nothing goes right, you know, and the 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: other team is able to take advantage of it. But 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: you know what they have. They have a real potent offense. 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: Of course, they got eighteen and Dalvin and guys that 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: are able to make people missing. They're able to put 40 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: up a lot of points in a little amount of time. 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean you look at all their comebacks, it's like 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: it's crazy. So you know, they came off a loss, 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: and they don't want to get on a losing street, 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: so we know we're gonna expect that best shot. What 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: kind of conflicts does it put having Dalvin Cook in 46 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: the backfield, put the guy with Justin Jefferson out wide 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: where you got to really be under p's and q's. 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't really get too much worse than that. 49 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: You know, you got a guy who's I guess they 50 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: say he's on pace to to have like a two 51 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: thousand yards or something like that. And you got Dalvin 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: who's been doing this for a long time, who's been 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: a matchup problem, who could score from any part of 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: the field, in any position to the field. It makes 55 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: it hard. So they have that underneath option and they 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: have that over the top option, and you just got 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: to know where those guys are at all the time. 58 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Doesn't put a premium communication from you guys as the 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: safeties or anyone to particular. Uh, it's always a premium 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: on communication. So it doesn't really matter who we're playing, 61 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: but when you have guys like that on the other side, 62 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: you definitely have to know where they're at. Bill mentioned 63 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: earlier today that today would be the main day to 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: be able to get ready for everything when you I'm 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: playing in a short week, you know where some of 66 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: the keys in order to be ready for the Thursday, Well, 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: I would say the main thing is recovery and the 68 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: mental aspect of the game, just because you're not getting 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: those full speed reds, so the communication is even that 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: much more pivotal. So when we get out, there's no 71 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: playing around like you have to lock in and you 72 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: try to get through as many plays as you can 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: because you have the first half of the day that's 74 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna be early downs and then you go through the 75 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: second half that might be third red, third down reds 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: on whatever it may be. So we're flying through that 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: stuff fast. So when when we're when we're talking about it, 78 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: you have to be able to lock in and glue 79 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: it to your mind and something about turn for somebody 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: like j Hawkinson after playing still earlier in the season 81 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: for the team, I mean the same way that we 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: played against him in Detroit. I mean when we played 83 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: against him in Detroit, he had just I think he 84 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: had just came out the game having like one hundred 85 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: and eighty yards or something like that. So you know 86 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: he's a big play third and you know, he's super 87 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: savvy and his routes and stuff like that, so it's 88 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: kind of gonna be the same mindset that we had 89 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: playing them the first time, just knowing where he's at, 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: knowing where he's at, and making sure he's not running 91 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: down the field wide open. If we do that and 92 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: we give ourselves a chance to actually be hit to 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: hit with him, then we'll be all right. Thank you, guys.
