1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Is it always special to play against guy like Drew

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: who's been around the league for a long time as

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: well it has done some magical stuff. Yeah, Drew, you

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: know known Drew a long time and uh I watched

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: his career and obviously, uh you know what he's be

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: able to do in New Orleans and um is impressive. So, um,

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: you know, a great person, a great quarterback and and

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, always always fun to compete against him

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: because like anyone, one is nice. But how do you

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: concentrate here and follow up? How do you build something?

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: How do you gain momentum? Yeah? I think it's just uh,

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think last week we had great urgency

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: and understanding, Um you know what we had to do

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: to fix it and get better. I think you have

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: to have that same intality. We gotta fix things from

16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: last week that where there were mistakes. And I think

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: that's the mindset is to getting get better, improve each

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: and every week. Is it a mistake to go in

19
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: there and think we got to score thirty or forty? Yeah?

20
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know you you all you

21
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: do is game plan, your game plan, You see what

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: players you like and you go execute. And so that

23
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: that's all you can worry about. You never put a

24
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: you have to score this amount or that at amount.

25
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: You all have you know, kind of goals you want

26
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: to hit in general. But uh, you play the game

27
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: and you don't know what you know, what's gonna happen

28
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: or or what the circumstances are. You just gotta be

29
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: ready for whatever game it turns out to be. Like

30
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: they're giving up only three yards per rush, which is

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the best thing defensively, is there's something special about their

32
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: d that that seems to stand out. Well huh, and

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: you know they do a good job. They're usually you know,

34
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: they like to play a lot of you know, a

35
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: lot of single single safety and have a safety down.

36
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: So um, you know they're pretty big upfront and in

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: their front, uh, their their D line and stuff. So um,

38
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, they do a good job against the against

39
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: the run. And we just gotta you know, we gotta

40
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: find find all find the run game and and but also, um,

41
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, see if we can hit some some plays

42
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: in the past game as well as you do inspirational

43
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: for he's able to do with thirty mine, Yeah, I

44
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: know it's been impressive. You know what what he's be

45
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: able to do. Um, you know why he's playing this year,

46
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Um, you know he hasn't

47
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: dropped off. Still moving around and making plays and throwing

48
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: it as good as ever. Is there one thing that's

49
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: I see you the most. You're surprised to you about

50
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: about where his production and um, they're no surprised, you know.

51
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: You know, so you gonna watch Drew playing college and

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: and his whole career. Uh known him for a long

53
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: time and so um, you know, just he keeps doing it,

54
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: and he keeps uh you know, um bill throw throw

55
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: the ball accurately and still got great arms strength and

56
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: get down the field, still runs around and and and

57
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: and looks you know, looks young out there. Is it

58
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: nice to play against the quarterback and we can call

59
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: it your kid? Uh No, that's uh, you know, you

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: know again, you know, and he Drew does a great job.

61
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: But you know, our focus is on their defense and

62
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: just trying to get get prepared to go play them.

63
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Coach was talking about there were a number of opportunities

64
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: last week where you could have had a home run

65
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: ball where there's a big play mentality with with your

66
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: club when you have a chance to do that with

67
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: so many guys, so many weapons. What does that mean? Well,

68
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta Um obviously there's gonna be

69
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: opportunities to to take some shots and um, you know

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: you gotta be patient. Can't force him. Um, but you know,

71
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: we got guys who can get down the field. Uh. Um,

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: you know. And some of it's not you know, not

73
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily throwing a uh you know, a fifty yard

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: throw with our guys. Uh, you know they're shifting there quick.

75
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: You can hit them, you know, I throw it actually

76
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: out of breaks. Uh, when they're on the move. Then

77
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: they can turn you know, short throws in the big games.

78
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: On top of it, around the repleat right now is

79
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: sort of like how they're protecting the quarterbacks. Have you

80
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: seen guys approach the way they come at you and

81
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: eat you any differently? Years? You know, I haven't. I

82
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: haven't noticed that. I haven't seen it, uh, you know

83
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: from from you know, personally being out there. So um,

84
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know guys are you know, they're conscious

85
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: of it the way things have been called in certain hits.

86
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: So um you know, uh, not a concern for me really, UM,

87
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with it. What do you think about

88
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the overall impression of them wanting to protect the quarterbacks

89
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: to this degree. I mean I think they I think

90
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: they understand it. They're trying to make you know, make

91
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: it safer. Em you know, obviously as a quarterback, you

92
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: don't mind um, you know, them trying to eliminate some

93
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: of the you know, driving driving you into the ground

94
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and lemit you know, just to you know, the players

95
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: that could cause injuries. So uh, you know, I see

96
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: both sides of the of the of the equation there.

97
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: What what one thing that the reconstituted offensive line really

98
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: do well last week? Did you can see them building

99
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: off of going forward? You know, I think they did

100
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: a good job just picking up picking up something, you know,

101
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: the pressures, um, you know, just competing, just keep fighting,

102
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: you know. Uh and um, you know, so I think

103
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: just you know, I think just had that mentality, um

104
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that they were, um, you know, gonna block up some

105
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: good players, you know, a good defensive line, and they

106
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: were tough and just kind of hung in there and

107
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't get you know, if they gave up, you know,

108
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, the team's donna give a sack or you

109
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: know something stuff like that. Going happened. Just not getting frustrated.

110
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Don't let that, you know, affect the next series. How

111
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: outsciting is this home game? Good team coming in early

112
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: in the season, trying to get things going. What's your

113
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: message this week? Yeah, you know, I think everybody's excited.

114
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, I've been on the road two weeks in

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: a row, and uh, you know, get a get a

116
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: home a home game, and uh, you know, go out

117
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: there and and hopefully get our first win at home.

118
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: I think guys are excited about that opportunity. Did you

119
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: notice a different attitude from the other line last week

120
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: or Its simple, as technique figures, is everybody is being

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: dialed in and to to you know, what our jobs

122
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: were doing, doing our job better. Um, and that's that's me.

123
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: That's what the offense line just being on the same page.

124
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: We're communicating things and and so just an urgency to

125
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: make sure, um, we know exactly what we're doing, what

126
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: our college were wound be, and so guys can play

127
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: fast and and uh, I know exactly what's going on,

128
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, and Drew for a long time. You remember

129
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: when when you met him, was it at all? Miss?

130
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Was it you? Even with that I think I met

131
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Drew he was still at Perdue. I think he was

132
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: at you know, we're both at a Cults game and somehow,

133
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, being at Perdue in Indiana, I was that

134
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: I was at one of Peyton's games and uh and

135
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: he was you know, came to the game. I think

136
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: you met him in the sideline or met him. Uh

137
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: maybe the locker room after. Um, so I would have been. Yeah,

138
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: probably was was at ninety. Uh. I was, you know,

139
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: in high school or in college at the time. So.

140
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: Um and just kind of kept up the you know,

141
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: they're just you know, just knowing them, known them since then,

142
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: and watched his career through a lot. Um, have you

143
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: ever been through anything quite like that game a few

144
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: years ago in him to Dome. Uh, that was a

145
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: while one, you know, and just uh, you know, just

146
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: back and forth and high scoring and and um, you know,

147
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to win at the end and

148
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: then had a crazy kind of you know, you know,

149
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, kickoff return and field goals. So um No,

150
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've been anything, you know, quite

151
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: like that one.
