It's it's been a long year and 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: it's uh been a lot of hard work. UM, very 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: proud of the guys. You know, we've come, you know, 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: and each week, UM worked hard, kept grinding and kept 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: you know, trusting our fundamentals and and we knew we 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: did that there'd be a lot of good things to come. 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: And we've got another big challenge ahead of us. Um, 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good football team. We're playing the 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: best team we've played, and UM, it'll be a big challenger. 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: Does this ever get old? Now? I mean it's, Um, 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: it's why you play the Game's what you dream of 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: as a little kid. Um. You know, there's so many 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: people that play this game for a long time you 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: don't get to experience it. And I'm just fortunate to 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: somehow find my way here to this organization and you 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: get to be a part of my third now because 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: I realized there are other players that don't grow the 19 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl every year. Yeah, you know, it's it's tough, 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: and UM, like I said, I'm just I'm just fortunate 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: that you know, Coach Belisha gave me an opportunity here 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: and UM, I get to be in that locker room 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,279 Speaker 1: with those guys. You know, you're in, you're out, and uh, 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's just a special team, special place. I please. 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: With the play of the offensive line, you seem to 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: get a real peak, particularly in past protection during the playoffs. Yeah, 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: there's always things we can work on. Um, there's some 28 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: things we need to improve on. Um, you know, but 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, we you know, we've been clicking. Well. 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: I thought it was a big challenge this week. You know, 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: no penel, we didn't do anything to hurt ourselves on 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: the road, and that was gonna be a huge challenge 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: with the noise and um, just that team has a 34 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: good defense and uh, you know, so it was a 35 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: big challenge. Um, our tackles have been playing lights out, 36 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: So hats off to those guys, and you know, us 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: through and the ends, I've been holding our own. So 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: and we just gotta keep going, keep moving forward and 39 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, get back to work here this week. But 40 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: with that noise factor, no false stots or anything that 41 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing. It's just a testament to the work 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: that was put in all week. Uh. You know, guys, 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: in our room, the whole team, um, you know, with 44 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: Tom everybody. So it was a lot of hard work, UM, 45 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: frustrating practice you know at times with you know the 46 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: music and all that stuff going on. And you know, 47 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: but that was a realistic you'll feel for what it 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: was like. Um it was hard to communicate. Um, you know, 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: guys were locked in, disciplined all day and uh we 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: do that pretty good. I know he's been talked about 51 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: a lot by Scott and the job he does with 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Can you just now it's uh, Scar 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: has been awesome. Um he's a tough coach to play 54 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: four times and uh, you know, but you know there's 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: there's benefits to the way he's coaching and um, you 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: know the way he harps on us and you know 57 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: it's it's to get our best and he knows what 58 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: our best is and you know we still haven't reached 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: that and uh you know, so we'll go back to 60 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: work here this week. Can you say about the performance 61 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: of number twa much time? I mean it's, um, it 62 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: just seems incredible. What what do you guys are waiting? 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: Bl Off? It's a team team, but he's he's a 64 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: he's a captain out there. Yeah, you know, it's it is. 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: It's the greatest team game on Earth, and um, you know, 66 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: but when you got a guy like that, and you know, 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not surprised. I feel like I've been 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: seeing this for so I was eight years old, so 69 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: you know, um, and I just get to be a 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: part of it. Tom won the Super Bowl in two 71 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: thousand and one against the Rams. You've got guys on 72 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: this team that are young enough where they probably don't 73 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: even remember that game at this point. Where does that 74 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: kind of sages about the long jevity and does that 75 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: give you guys at a confidence where you got a 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: guy it's been doing on that long Yeah, I don't. 77 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, the experienced stuff really doesn't 78 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: matter about who goes out there and plays the best. 79 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: But you know, it is, it's unreal what he's done. Um, 80 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: he's a once in a lifetime player and just fortunately 81 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: I get to out there in block for him. Matthew 82 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: Slat's ability as a plaint toss Super Bowl on this team, 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's like, yeah, you always choose his head, 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: so that's a good call. His dad, Yeah, dad, His 85 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: dad always chose that because that's what he told me. 86 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, but uh that was heads.

So no Tom Brady poster on 101 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: your wall, now, I probably had some Georgia posters on 102 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: my wall, just going back to it's always better to 103 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: win when you're a part of these But just you know, 104 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: the game itself, the Body Workers just two really tremendous, 105 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: well played teams, and you just maybe speak to the 106 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be that way, but it 107 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: really was a heavyweight fight. No, you're right, it was 108 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: a heavyweight fight. Um, it wasn't one sided. Um there's 109 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: a lot of punches thrown both sides of the ball. 110 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: M we threw hours, they threw theirs. You're just standing 111 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: at the end, you know, and you know, a good 112 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: situational football and that was it was a great two 113 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: minute drive.
