1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Morning, Good morning, victory shot time. There you go, man,

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: let's go unbelievable here were all right. Cheers, Cheers to you,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Cheers to your team. Very good. I mean for me,

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: tastes sweeter the farther this team goes. I don't know

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: about you that that'll work.

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: We'll keep getting them, We'll keep grabing them.

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: How big of a factor was the weather yesterday?

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it was probably a little bit.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean it was.

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: It was slick, it was the wintry mix. It wasn't

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 3: just snow. I mean it was you know, but everybody

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: played in the same conditions. I thought it was a

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: little bit of a factor. I mean, I don't know

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: if it mattered, I guess in the outcome of the game,

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: but you know, I mean it was it was noticeable.

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: Is a disadvantage when you're a quarterback like c. J.

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Stroud who plays inside a good part of.

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: The Again, having never played quarterback, I could couldn't tell you. Yeah, sure,

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: there's a lot of guys that have played in elements

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: and had good games. I'm sure it's different. It's probably

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: hard to recreate that, whether in Houston or whether you're

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: in a dome or not Mike.

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: When you look at this defense, especially, you know what

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: you guys were able to do again yesterday, talk a

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 4: little bit of about what you know obviously these players

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: is coaching staff defensively, the approach that you take in

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: every week, what you what are you seeing?

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 5: What are you loving from what they're doing? Well?

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: They play hard. I think that that's the thing. They

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: played full tilt to the tackle. I think that they

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: they prepare, They try to have a you know, an

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: understanding of what the plan is and what we need

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: to take away or what we're trying to do each

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: and every week. I feel like they're they're building confidence

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: each and every week. I think, you know, they knew

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: that the red zone wasn't where it should be throughout

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: the year. Guys, you know, we didn't teams didn't get

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: down there a bunch, but when they did, they were

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: scoring touchdowns. And you know, we've gone on pretty good

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: red zone streak here defensively the last probably three games.

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 6: Back to the weather, because it seemed like what you

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 6: said after the game was you were going to celebrate it,

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 6: but the guys weren't satisfied, so they weren't blaming any

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 6: of the mistakes on the weather. What did you mean

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 6: by not satisfied? And is it just they believe that

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 6: they could play better than what they put out yesterday

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 6: despite the win.

48
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think we are trying to.

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: You know, enjoy these things, but also not get caught

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: up and thinking that this is the end of the journey.

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: You know, we have another huge opportunity in front of us,

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: an exciting one that our fans and everybody part of

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: our ownership and team and everybody should be excited about.

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 7: Can you believe you're here like that given where you

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 7: were where you started your introductory press conference last January February,

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 7: all the all the games and all the practices in between,

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 7: that you are one went away from the Super Bowl.

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: You know, I joke about this, but I probably it's serious.

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: With no expectations, you can't be disappointed. So I just

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: try to come to work each day and figure out,

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: you know, what it is that we have to do.

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: And if we're getting ready for games, then I'm going

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: to try to get everybody prepared and try to have

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: a you know, a plan, and then if we're not,

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: then we'll figure out what part of the offseason that

66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: we're in so I just haven't gotten caught up into

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: it too much.

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: I just want to try to be great for for

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: everybody here.

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: Mike, when you when you start to look at where

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: you are offensively and maybe a little bit of the

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: struggles that you're having, but you're making the big plays

73
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: when you need to make a most What are some

74
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: of the things, especially from maybe an online quarterback standpoint

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: ball security, be able to create points off the turnovers?

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 5: What do you think you guys got to do a

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: little bit better this week?

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: Take care of the ball, not let the quarterback get hit.

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 6: You have been very good about not letting the outside

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 6: noise affect you, guys. But after in the locker room,

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 6: a lot of guys said they saw what ESPN that

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 6: that tire panel picked the text.

83
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: I knew they wouldn't listen to me.

84
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 6: And then the Texans defense was such a big point

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: of conversation going into this one. Do you feel like

86
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 6: your guys take that as a chip on they take.

87
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 2: To go and play well, I'm all for whatever it is.

88
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't.

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we have to try to outplay the other

90
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: team's defense each week, and.

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: You know, if you know, we get the ball.

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: Down and if there's a turnover, we have to go

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: out there and sudden change and you know all those things,

94
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: and so whatever motivates them, I figure that they're going

95
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: to be motivated by something. I hope it's just to

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: uh to make the plays necessary to win. Thing I

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: appreciate is that we're we're working together and fighting together

98
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: to create turnovers. There's a lot of group efforts going

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: into those turnovers, whether it's you know, a pass rush

100
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: or somebody tips a ball, or you know, the call

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: and the disguise or whatever that may be. I think

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: that that's been the thing that's you know, I've enjoyed.

103
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: Watching maybe a little bit different this week in your

104
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: approach because you're favorite in this game.

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if that'll be a different approach.

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: And we'll just try to come up with a message

107
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: and come up with some keys and the game plan

108
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: that we feel like gives us the best chance to

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: go out there. And I don't think that anything's going

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: to change whether we're favored or not favored, or you know.

111
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: We just got to go back on the road.

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 7: How much does it change your approach? Given Stidham in

113
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 7: there for Bonex who's done for the year. Do you

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 7: rely on any of the coaches here that had coached

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 7: him when he when he was here.

116
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, he hasn't thrown a pass in twenty twenty three,

117
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: so we'll have to kind of figure out.

118
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure that again, I.

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: Like Jared, I know that, you know, we did a

120
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: lot of work on him in the off season here

121
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: of free agency, and you know Josh has coached him.

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: He's probably you know, ready to go. Obviously preparing as

123
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: a starter each and every week, and really early in

124
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: the preparation, not sure how much things will change based

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: on the quarterback in there or what they're asking them

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: to do, and you know, we'll just have to you know,

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: get started here today and you know they got an

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: extra day on us to get going with this preparation.

129
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 5: How do you handle that balance?

130
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: It's because is this such an interesting dynamic that nowadays

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: guys with social media and being able to see what

132
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: people are saying about you know them, or the team

133
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: and the respect and you know who.

134
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 5: They're they're picking.

135
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: How do you handle that balance of like, all right, guys,

136
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: we need to focus on what's going on in these

137
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: walls and not let the outside distractions bother us. But

138
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: knowing it's a social media world and it's like at

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: their fingertips.

140
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think there's things that are interesting and there's

141
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: things that are important, and we try to focus on

142
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: the things that are.

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Important and not the things that are interesting.

144
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that are like okay, you know,

145
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is cool. But we have

146
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: to focus on what's important, and that's you know, how

147
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: we prepare each and every week, and you know, our

148
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: identity and the belief that our guys have in each other,

149
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: those are the things that are important.

150
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 7: Any thought that going out a day early, I don't

151
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 7: know what you've done in the past. When going to

152
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 7: Denver to get ready for the altitude, how do you

153
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 7: guys prep for that?

154
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: Physiologically? It takes about a week and a half. So

155
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: also they weren't gonna let us go last.

156
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Thursday to get ready for it. You know, a day

157
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: doesn't isn't going to do anything, you know, I mean

158
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: other than mentally. I think the better you play, the

159
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: less effect it will have.

160
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean, but physiologically, unless you're out there a week

161
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: and a half early, you know, so I've been out

162
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: there before and you know we'll have to play well

163
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: and you know, be ready to go.

164
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: And that's just what it is.

165
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 6: I love when they cut to you on the sideline

166
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: after a touchdown, but you keep a pretty good poker face.

167
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: The Kishan Boudi touchdown catch. How unbelievable was that for

168
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 6: you as a coach to watch because you kept it

169
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: pretty professional, But internally you must have been freaking out

170
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 6: like everybody else.

171
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: Sure, and I think that, uh, just Kashawan's growth as

172
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: a person and as a teammate. Really just seen him

173
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: open up since since I've been here, and you know,

174
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: he's really trusted Todd and Todd Doubting and his you know,

175
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: the rest of the receivers, and that's a really good

176
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: group just from the standpoint that everybody helps, everybody contribute.

177
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: You saw it again last night, and so anytime the

178
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: Kayshawan and I do feel I like his competitiveness and

179
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: that showed up last week, showed up last night, and

180
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 3: I'm happy for him.

181
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: You make it a point and you know I caught

182
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: a glimpse of it on social media. Uh in the

183
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: tunnel after the game celebrate and I forget who it

184
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: was you were celebrating with Do you ever get an

185
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: opportunity or a chance to just sit there and kind

186
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: of reflect on the genuineness that your players believe and

187
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 4: have in you, because it's so difficult to find, especially

188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: in the world of sports, eating in football, But.

189
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: Like I believe just watching it, I'm a part of it.

190
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: But I feel like they really believe that genuineness that

191
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: you give them.

192
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I try to be as authentic as I

193
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: possibly can every single day. It's not all smiles. I

194
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: mean it's it's not and so, but I try to

195
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: get around the building. I try to have some sort

196
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: of relationship with each and every guy.

197
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate, you know, what they do and how.

198
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: They play, and their their their style and their demeanor

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: and all that other stuff.

200
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't know, if I reflect back on it,

201
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

202
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: I try to do it every single day, not just

203
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: you know that little snippet after the game.

204
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 6: How do you feel like Drake's handled the playoffs so far?

205
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 6: The pressure of the playoffs and in the locker room

206
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 6: and out on the field.

207
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the pressure of that. I think

208
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 2: that there's.

209
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: Been some you know plays that again the ball security

210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: and the things like that. But you know this is

211
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: the ball security is. You know, we have to all

212
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: take ownership. We've been through this earlier in the year,

213
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: so you know, we have to take care of the

214
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: ball and then we have to take care of the

215
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 3: guy with the ball.

216
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: We have to protect the guy with the ball.

217
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: So there's a little bit of twofold there and then

218
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: I'll have to improve. But I don't think the pressure.

219
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: You know, he's made some big time throws. He made

220
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: a big time throw on fourth and one and bloed zero,

221
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: and he made some other really good throws. Uh, and

222
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: then there was other times where the receivers you know,

223
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: helped him out, whether that's Kashawan or uh, you know,

224
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: Stefan and third down.

225
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: And but I think it's been the pressure. I don't

226
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: think has been indusue protecting him.

227
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Do you feel like Will Campbell's been at.

228
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: One hundred percent one hundred percent how do you mean

229
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: one hundred.

230
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: Percent health wise?

231
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: Feeling good coming back?

232
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's anything that's limiting him. Okay,

233
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: he has to just uh, you know, Will one, he

234
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 3: has high expectations for himself and we have high expectations

235
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: for him too, and each opportunity out there is a

236
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: learning experience. And you know he's signed up to play

237
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: a tough position, just like Gonzo.

238
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and go yeah, just like Gonzo and CD.

239
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: You know, there's just places where you know, you have

240
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 3: to be great and that's the investment that we make

241
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: in those players, and those are the.

242
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: Guys that we want out there. And uh, you just

243
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: have to come back, bounce back.

244
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: It's like giving up a pass or a touchdown for

245
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: a corner, like you gotta line back up and you got.

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: To keep playing.

247
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: And CD challenges and competes and sometimes they call them

248
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: and sometimes we intercept him and sometimes we bat him down.

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: We had fourteen PBUs So you have to play aggressive

250
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: out there because if not, it's it's gonna be a

251
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: lot of pitch and catch it.

252
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: Saw Tye Law on the field pregame talking to Gonzo.

253
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Just be careful there. He's always advocating, telling these guys

254
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: they deserve more money, So just be careful, all right.

255
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: Ti has got a lot of stories. He tells a

256
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: lot of stories. Well some are accurate and some are

257
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: well that was I was Gonnap.

258
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean did you have a flask in the in

259
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: the locker room.

260
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: You never had a flask. You didn't have a flask.

261
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: And the stories sound good nowadays Tye sells a liquor

262
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: for a living, trying to push push his product.

263
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're not.

264
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: Don't let the facts get in the way of a

265
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: good story.

266
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 5: It's always the story is always better than the facts. Anyways.

267
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: But you talk about Will Campbell and he signed up

268
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: to play a hot position. Doesn't get any easier this week,

269
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: Benito and Cooper.

270
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: That's this, that's the league, that's the NFL.

271
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: So so what are some of the you know, I

272
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: know it's you can't you can't really give us all

273
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: the insight that you give them, but you know, you

274
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: played that position. You can help better than anybody. What

275
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: are some of the things that maybe you're telling them. Hey,

276
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: here's what you might want to think about going into

277
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: these games, especially when you got these unbelievable.

278
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean, every player is different. Every you know, scheme

279
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: is you know, play called dictates. You know where the

280
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: depth of the the quarterback is, or where the launch

281
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: spot or where the slide protection is or.

282
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Any of those things. So again, it's about us staying balanced.

283
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: You don't want to turn games into a drop back

284
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: game in this league.

285
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: You don't want to do that.

286
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: You know, when you get behind and you're forced to

287
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: throw and to get in a drop back game, that

288
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: that's not where we want to live. We want to

289
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: continue to stay balanced and you know, make sure that

290
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: we're all doing our part to protect the guy with

291
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: the ball.

292
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: And usually that's the quarterback. And we've talked about this.

293
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: When the quarterback gets hit, bad things happen for the

294
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: offense and good things happen for the defense.

295
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 7: Mike, you deflect almost all praise and give it to

296
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 7: the players. I'm curious, what has this team taught you,

297
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 7: if anything, as a head coach? What is what is

298
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 7: this season brought you that you've witnessed with these guys

299
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 7: that are on this team.

300
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so just going back and you know,

301
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: trying to reflect on you know, coming here with Robert

302
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: and Jonathan giving us to support to build this thing

303
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: and giving us to support to work with with.

304
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Elliott and Ryan and Stretch and myself. And I'm thankful

305
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: for that.

306
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: And I think that those guys have let me do

307
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: my job. They've allowed us to the resources to go

308
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: and build something in the offseason. And when you talk

309
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: about that, it was about bringing these guys together, and

310
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: I think just appreciating everybody's journey, whether it's a high

311
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: draft pick, whether it's an undrafted player, whether it's a

312
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: player that.

313
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: Had been on a few teams before this and is

314
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,160
