1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,199
Speaker 1: One of the stars from the last victory at Lucas

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium against Kansas City Chiefs Kyland Grants, and we're

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna go over what happened during that game and what

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: to look forward to with the Tennessee Titans coming to time.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: But first and foremost, a lot of people have asked me,

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: who has more fun playing this game than you? Absolutely nobody.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: This has been a long time coming, a dream ever

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: since I was a kid. So every time you see

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: me out there, I just know I'm playing with a

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: smile on my face because I'm having the time of

11
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: my life. Listen, I'm down on the sidelines. I see that.

12
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: I see the joy and stuff, especially making big plays

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: down in at the one the fumble recovery, like that.

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: Anything goes out here. Coaches ask you to do something,

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it absolutely hundred percent. You know, gotta

16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: be a jack of all trades. That's kind of my style.

17
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: I can do a little bit of everything, and I

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: try to do it well. You know, from a standing standpoint,

19
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the win was huge, but also from a mentality standpoint,

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: psychological perspective, how big was that first victory against a

21
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: marquee team like Kansas City. Oh, it's definitely different when

22
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: people come to our house, you know, a home opener,

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: big game. You know, we didn't start the way we wanted,

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: so we knew this was a chance to send a

25
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: message and show people who we really were, because up

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: until that point we had and I think we did.

27
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, sixteen play drive, eight minutes down

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 1: by four crunch time, everything's on the line. You guys

29
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: got it done. The offense delivered. How much confidence does

30
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: that permeate into the rest of the team. Oh, I mean,

31
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean absolute confidence. I mean the defense trusted us,

32
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: they got us to stop, and I knew, you know,

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: with Mo and Jilani and all the receivers, I knew

34
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: that we were going to move that ball pretty well

35
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: down the field. And just watching as we went play

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: after play, we kept it alive, doing what we had

37
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: to do, and it was just awesome to see. And

38
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: then you know the nightcap Jelanny with the walk off

39
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: TV is pretty awesome. The quarterback in that situation, Matt

40
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: Ryan right, forty three career game winning drives, you know,

41
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown there with twenty four seconds. Did you see

42
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: him in the huddle? Do you do you understand what

43
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Maddie Ice means. Did you physically get that representation? Oh yeah,

44
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean I've I've been seeing it. I mean, but

45
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean it just it showed itself even more on

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: that moment, because I mean it was business as usual.

47
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm cool, collected. It was like we're out at practice, like, hey,

48
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: get up on the ball, snap it. We're just rolling,

49
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: We're just doing what we do. And I mean, yeah,

50
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: he's a different type of dude for sure. Kylan Grantson

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: right there, I mean you're you're You're still a big man.

52
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean you you dwarf Taylor and I. But in

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: the room of the tight ends and this team, you

54
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: are the small man right there. You bring a different

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: sort of a you bring a different sort of angle

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: to your game and stuff that these big guys do.

57
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: What is that and what is that that the coaches

58
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: like that they can do with you. Oh, you know,

59
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I can move around a little bit. You know, I'm

60
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: a little I'm a little elusive. I got a little

61
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: juice to me. So yeah, I can definitely fill in

62
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: some spots, you know where people might be thinking, oh,

63
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: maybe they brought them in so he'll run a route

64
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: and then I run block. You know, I can just

65
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I do a lot of different things, and you know,

66
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: it just kind of makes a defense kind of getting

67
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: their head a little bit and be like, oh, what's

68
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: he in for? Is it a pass? Is it a run?

69
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: What is this? So you know, kind of it's like

70
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: a I'm like a little little trick car. They don't

71
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: know what I am. Well, keep doing what you're doing.

72
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: Like fans and sports writers are a little bit different

73
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: than guys in this locker room. Oh in one, oh

74
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: one and one. After the Texans game, oh one and

75
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: one after Jacksonville, after getting blank? What was this locker

76
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: room like? And obviously a big win against Kc'll turn

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: that around everybody on the same page and that thing,

78
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: what are we doing? We got Matt Ryan, your best

79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: running back in the league, offensive line, etc. That hide

80
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: to low thing? How do you guys stay key O?

81
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: And did you notice anything like that after starting out

82
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: O one and one? I mean, we have a standard.

83
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: There's the reason we have those standards no matter what,

84
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: no matter whether we're O one and one or we're

85
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: one one and one, the standard is always the same.

86
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: And so that's what gets us back in the building.

87
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: No matter whether it's a great win or a terrible loss,

88
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: We're always going to come back, be honest with ourselves

89
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and analyze the film, see what we can do better.

90
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: And then we got to move on because it's a

91
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: week to week league. We got to move on because

92
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: we have another opponent that very next week. So I mean,

93
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that standpoint, that mental toughness to move

94
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: on flushed out last week is what allows us to

95
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: be successful week to week. Kyl. And you have some

96
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: great plays on special teams. You had the funnel recovery

97
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: setting up the first touchdown on that muff punt. Then

98
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you also down to punt at the one yard line.

99
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: I took a pretty harsh bounce on your your toes.

100
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Your toes, your tippy toes are right on the edge

101
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: there the goal line. How How close was it in reality?

102
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was pretty close. I mean,

103
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I've never been to a canyon, but I mean that's

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: about as realistic as I ever want to get with

105
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: my toes on the edge like that. But yeah, it was,

106
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: it was. It was decently close. I still had balance.

107
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: I think even if Luke didn't pull me back, I

108
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: think I'd got it. Well, a guy in your in

109
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: your room that had a monster game, two catches, two touchdowns.

110
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Jelanni Woods, rookie guy, first career catch goes for a touchdown,

111
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: then he has the game winner with just under thirty

112
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: seconds left. That's how happy are you for for his progress?

113
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Because he's been coming along and then to see it

114
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: all kind of come to fruition there in week three. Dude.

115
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean I was over the moon for the dude.

116
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean when he when I was on the sideline

117
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and I saw him run the route and I was like,

118
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, Matt's going to throw the ball. I'm like,

119
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: how cool is this going to be? And he made

120
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: the catch and we I freaking sprint out. All I

121
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: saw was him catch it, and then all of a sudden,

122
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: I was celebrating the end zone. I kind of blacked

123
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: out for a second. But I mean, it's just awesome

124
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: to see how far he's come along since Camp. I mean,

125
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: the dude can make plays. He's a big body, and

126
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: he can move really well. So I'm hoping he gets

127
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: more and more snaps as this year goes along, and

128
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean we'll see, man. I think he's two for

129
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: two and two tutties. Come on, man, he's gonna he

130
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: gets more touches like that. I wonder how many touchdowns

131
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna get. A great star, A great star for

132
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Jolanni Wis all right? This is my Nobs question of

133
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: this interview. No Bs Nobs on the road in Texas,

134
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: on the road in Jacksonville to come home to a

135
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: home environment, I guess one of the elite teams in

136
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: the NFL. How big does home field advantage in that

137
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: crowd play in your rise and it's no BS one.

138
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Are you playing differently with that crowd behind you? Oh yeah, definitely.

139
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: I mean, as I said, home turf, it's a different

140
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: because it's our house. We take pride in Indianapolis, because

141
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: this is where we play, this is where our families

142
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: come to see us. So when you step on our field,

143
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: our field, it's different, you know. So definitely a difference

144
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: with the home field Advanish
