Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna get a lot of criticism from
Speaker 1: people for floting him play and not disciplining him in
Speaker 1: some way. You've been around this game a while. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the way Joe is approaching it.
Speaker 1: I think he's handling it the right way. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, guys make mistakes. Josh has been a guy
Speaker 1: who's been a great teammate since he's been here. I
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten in much trouble, if any that I know of, um,
Speaker 1: And you know, at some point you I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: let the legal process take care of whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And but as far as the team, we're moving on.
Speaker 1: We're moving forward. We understand that obviously, uh, Josh made
Speaker 1: some mistakes and needs to have a little bit better judgment. Um,
Speaker 1: But you know, we're getting ready for the Giants. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you can address this or if you
Speaker 1: have a perspective on this, but a lot of fans
Speaker 1: don't understand what players do need guns. Um, you guys
Speaker 1: are going to you know, obviously high profile, a lot
Speaker 1: of work, a lot of money, fancy cars and everything.
Speaker 1: Is there is there any it's like you you have
Speaker 1: you know that if you just talk about UM gun ownership.
Speaker 1: Whether you're in the NFL, you're a regular American citizen,
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have your opinion on UM gun ownership.
Speaker 1: But you know, we have the right to bear arms
Speaker 1: and people it's you can legally own guns. And so
Speaker 1: I don't think we're any exception to that. Obviously, just
Speaker 1: like anybody else, we have rules and regulations as to
Speaker 1: where we can take those firearms and where um or
Speaker 1: what we can do with those um and we follow
Speaker 1: those rules. UM. So yeah, I mean it's there's no
Speaker 1: need to really get into, you know, whether it's justified
Speaker 1: more more justified for us as athletes to have them us.
Speaker 1: It's our American right and some guys choose to practice it.
Speaker 1: Welcome As a leader, and as Josh's peered, do you
Speaker 1: basically talk to him and say, hey, look, you know
Speaker 1: this is you messed up, but let's let's not let
Speaker 1: this happen again. Yeah, I mean, you know, you you
Speaker 1: you got to keep the big picture of mine, you know.
Speaker 1: Obviously he I think he already understands. Um that last
Speaker 1: and judgment, Um, could you know, not only just jeopardize
Speaker 1: what we're doing as a team, but jeopardize you know,
Speaker 1: his own well being, his own UM, livelihood. UM. And
Speaker 1: so I think he recognizes that. UM. But you know,
Speaker 1: you you don't want to act like he's just you know,
Speaker 1: a bad apple. This is a guy who we've relied
Speaker 1: on heavily, never had any problems with UM until you know,
Speaker 1: we won't let one mistake, UM, you know, ruin our
Speaker 1: feelings feelings about him, but you know he will have
Speaker 1: to deal with whatever consequences do come UM from a
Speaker 1: legal standpoint. UM. But you know he's a girl man
Speaker 1: and we were looking forward to to moving moving forward
Speaker 1: with him. Where do you feel like you guys are
Speaker 1: as defense right now? Coming off watching it in bad
Speaker 1: game Minnesota, real good game and then Sunday night, a
Speaker 1: lot of really really good things for fifty five minutes
Speaker 1: and then not a great finish. Do you have a
Speaker 1: sense of where you guys are? I still think we're
Speaker 1: really good defense. UM. I think the last two weeks
Speaker 1: we played really good UM. Obviously Sunday Sunday night we
Speaker 1: played a really good offense and the Cowboys and we
Speaker 1: were putting some some tough positions with you know, the
Speaker 1: fake punt to turnover and did a good job of
Speaker 1: making stops toward the end of the game. When we
Speaker 1: needed some big stops, we got them. Obviously we didn't
Speaker 1: finish the way we wanted to, especially in overtime, but
Speaker 1: we didn't really give up the big play. You know,
Speaker 1: they earned something, you know, uh Dac did a good
Speaker 1: job of extending play. Sometimes when we had everybody covered,
Speaker 1: had him lockdown, he just made a play, you know,
Speaker 1: in a few times where you know, you watch on tape,
Speaker 1: we're close and to either getting to him getting a
Speaker 1: sack or forcing the turnover and just came up one
Speaker 1: play short. Um. And so you know, I think it
Speaker 1: doesn't change, um, what we feel about ourselves. We thought
Speaker 1: we played a really good game. Um, Like I said,
Speaker 1: we just just one or two players here there that
Speaker 1: we can come up with really changes the whole outcome
Speaker 1: of the game. The only reason we really are sitting
Speaker 1: here feeling you know a little bad about um where
Speaker 1: we are or even the reason that we're questioning that
Speaker 1: is because the outcome wasn't what we wanted to be.
Speaker 1: But if you watch the game, we played some good ball.
Speaker 1: Like I said, they made some players. They're a good offense.
Speaker 1: But we're playing some good some good ball right now.
Speaker 1: On defense, well, I mean it's you don't just show
Speaker 1: up on Sunday and all of a sudden think you're
Speaker 1: gonna finish the games. It's the way you go about everything,
Speaker 1: whether it be your meetings, your practices, your drills, your lifts, um,
Speaker 1: you gotta finish everything. And and it's got to be um,
Speaker 1: you know, a lifestyle. And I think this team understands,
Speaker 1: um what it takes and what things we understand how
Speaker 1: to mess it up at this point and what things
Speaker 1: do mess it up, whether it be turnovers, um, you know,
Speaker 1: missing your job or whatever, um. And I think that
Speaker 1: that's something that will moving forward, have to emphasize that
Speaker 1: as the game gets tighter and the game comes to
Speaker 1: an end, those mistakes are you know, exponential, and that's
Speaker 1: when you need to be able to focus in more.
Speaker 1: You need to be able to come up with some energy,
Speaker 1: some momentum and do your job you know, you know,
Speaker 1: finishes and about somebody making a spectacular player at the
Speaker 1: end of the game. It's just about having the composure
Speaker 1: to do your job and do the simple things over
Speaker 1: and over and over again for the duration of the game.
Speaker 1: And that's that's where we're working towards. And once we
Speaker 1: start doing that, I think our outcomes will will will
Speaker 1: be what we want days and be easily and witting.
Speaker 1: In that group two, Cruise and Beckham and Sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: another really good cast. Receivers was a challenge this week.
Speaker 1: From what you've seen on the table, well, you know
Speaker 1: Odell is Odell, He's he's one of the most unnamed
Speaker 1: receivers in our league. UM Eli is doing a good
Speaker 1: job of getting the ball out. They move him around
Speaker 1: a bunch, so he's in the slide, he's at the
Speaker 1: ex he's at the z um shepherds in the slide
Speaker 1: as young player is doing really good runs, good routes. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're another NFC's passing attack. You know,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of um unique matchups in this
Speaker 1: in this conference, so I'm I'm I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1: Um Obviously thirteen is probably get the majority of the attention,
Speaker 1: as he should, but you know, they're doing a good
Speaker 1: job of getting the ball out of Eli's hands. So
Speaker 1: we got to be able to match up and cover
Speaker 1: early in and down and give our Russian a chance
Speaker 1: to affect the quarterback as well as stop the run.
Speaker 1: Lost three straight on the road and you don't have
Speaker 1: the division win. Is there a great report on this
Speaker 1: one then? I mean, yeah, you know, we hadn't done
Speaker 1: that well on the road. You know, we got to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get a role win, and
Speaker 1: pretty much all but one we had a chance to
Speaker 1: really all of them. But really we had control of
Speaker 1: the majority of those games on the road, and somehow
Speaker 1: it didn't finish or didn't come up with enough place
Speaker 1: to get the win. So this is this is really
Speaker 1: big for us. It's our next game, but we got
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get a role win, especially
Speaker 1: here in the division. Would have been your impressions, Jail
Speaker 1: and Miss Development. I mean, I think he's been playing well. Um.
Speaker 1: I think last week for him was it was a
Speaker 1: little different the first time we asked him to play
Speaker 1: the nickel, so it's a different spot for him. But
Speaker 1: you know, other than a few players here or there,
Speaker 1: I think he's played well, especially for the amount of
Speaker 1: reps and the amount of snaps he's played for US
Speaker 1: as a as a rookie. He's moving along well. Okay,
Speaker 1: cool day. Yeah,
