Uh, he was a lot of 20 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: times you have to lean on the running game. You know, 21 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: it was not a lot of production maybe from you offensively, 22 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: but you know it was kind of a game you 23 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: had to like grind through and stay close and not 24 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: not you know, doing anything crazy.

Um. 28 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: I think the guys up front did a did an 29 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: incredible job getting movement opened up holes and then uh 30 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, Book and and uh you know, Eli did 31 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: a great job hitting them.

Throughout the week. Sorry, 47 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: what did you reserved and practice about Xavier McKinney's skill set? Yeah, 48 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: I think he, Um, you know, he's a smart player. 49 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: I think he understands what quarterbacks are doing and and uh, 50 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: you know it was good good reading eyes, good reading, 51 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: uh you know, in his coverage and and he makes 52 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: you know a lot of plays back there. He's obviously 53 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: got tremendous physical skills and and uh you know he's 54 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: a smart player. And um, you know, played played big 55 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: time today for sure. The wide receivers weren't especially involved 56 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: tonight any thinking all of the like four targets to 57 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: the wide receivers something like that. Was it something the 58 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: Raiders are doing to take them away? Was that kind 59 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: of the game plan? Like? How do you think that is? Um, 60 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot. It has a lot 61 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: to do with with how well we were running it 62 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: and trusting that. I think, Um, you know, when when 63 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: you're able to do that, when the offensive lines playing 64 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: playing like that, then then uh you know, you lean 65 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: on it and and um, you know, we have the 66 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, the versatility of a team as a team 67 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: to be able to play different ways, and um, you 68 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: know that was working so so we stuck with it, 69 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and um, you know those guys stepped up. They didn't 70 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: make some you know, big plays when we needed them. 71 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: So um, you know this team, you know our team, 72 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: we can do a lot of different things and and 73 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: uh you know attack different ways. So um, you know 74 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: gotta uh keep keep working on itaders when the readers 75 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: get the ball for that last series there for an 76 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: offensive player like yourself, what is the stress level like 77 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: when you're kind of watching that and you don't have 78 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: any control over it? And can you talk about that 79 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: defensive stand you guys made it? Yeah, yeah, I think. Um, 80 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: in those situations, you're always uh preparing you know, both ends. Uh, 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: you know, if we get to stop if we're uh 82 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: you know in a four minute situation where we're trying 83 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: to you know bleed the clock, or or we're you 84 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: know in two minutes and we've got to go down 85 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: and kick a field goal. So you're kind of preparing 86 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: for both those situations and staying focused on that. Um. 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: But defense stepped up and did an incredible job like 88 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: they did all games. So um, you know, ton of 89 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: credit to them. I know you're out there and that 90 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: whole did where are you able to watch did you 91 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: realize when had happened until you know, it's just here 92 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: in the crowd and kind of tack off. Yeah, I 93 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: was able to see. It's hard not to watch what's 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: going on, you know, And and uh watched them out there, 95 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: but um yeah, like I said, they stepped up, played 96 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: played huge and um some some really big plays down 97 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: the stretch. So ton of credit to them. And at 98 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: that time of of the game, the defense is on there, 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: the crowd is rocking. This building hasn't been like that 100 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: a lot, especially this year, and you know in recent years, 101 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: really did you kind of take notice of that and 102 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: how the energy level is pretty intense and emotional? Then yeah, 103 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: I did. I think, Uh, you know, that was big force. 104 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: The crowd really got into it down uh, you know, 105 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: down the stretch there, and and uh, you know, we 106 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: we we really appreciate that support and and uh you know, 107 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: don't don't underestimate how they can, you know, impact the game. 108 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so they did a great job 109 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: and we appreciate all the support and the way Booker 110 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: ran the ball. And then specifically when he was out, 111 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: did you sense that Eli Penny, you know, he's a 112 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: guy who likes to get his touches there at the 113 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: end of two sense how he stepped up there. Yeah, 114 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Like I said, both those guys, uh played really well 115 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: for us. And and uh, I think a lot a 116 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of credit goes to the guys up front. I 117 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: think they did a great job control the line of scrimmage, 118 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: opening up some some holes for those guys, and and 119 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: and they found him and and uh, you know, played 120 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: well for us all all day. So I think both 121 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: those guys as well as offensive line, um, deserve a 122 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: ton of credit. Extating is the possibility to get shape 123 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: one back. It's certainly they can have all your playmakers 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: posed by it. How many better can as well fans 125 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: be with everybody together. Um yeah, that's you know, exciting. 126 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: And I know those guys are working hard to get back, 127 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: and um, you know, we'll keep keep preparing and keep 128 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: uh you know, game planning based on on who's available, 129 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, I think guys who who 130 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: stepped up in their places as I've done, done a 131 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: really good job.
