So obviously you're 78 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: out for the remainder of this season with injury like that, 79 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: and that one hurts not only just thinking about, you know, 80 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: the future of his team, but really just feeling for 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: Aaron in general. You know, the season end of injuries 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: is no no fun for anyone who you know, me 83 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: personally experienced something like that. 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: It's tough. 85 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: So really just reaching out to him after the game, 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: I feel like it was really important to all of us. 87 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: He seems to be doing well now, So. 88 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: What kind of dude? Is he a good guy? 89 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: Because you watch him from Afar, but then he joins 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: this team in April, he's here throughout the off season 91 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: and you have a relationship that others don't see. Yeah, 92 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: in terms of they're watching hard knocks and picking off 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: a little bits and pieces. 94 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funny because I get that question asked a 95 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: lot like family, friends, or what he's. 96 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 4: Like, what's he like like? 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: To be honest, he's just a normal dude.

And I think that's 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: real special because you know, not too many guys are 105 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 3: willing to do that, and for him to come in 106 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: and do that, try and build relationship with everyone, and 107 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: I thought that was really cool. 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, what happened at halftime?

And you know, 178 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: credits to special teams get and all that, but it's 179 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: really cool, exciting, you know, for Xavier. For a guy 180 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: to come in day one, works his tails off or 181 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 3: works his tail off and you could always just he's 182 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: grinding in the playbook every day this and asking, you know, 183 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 3: a lot of questions, always doing the right thing. Really, 184 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: so for him to get that spotlight Monday night football, 185 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: I mean, what more could you ask for? 186 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: And he definitely deserved it. 187 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: Storybook I need, So that was week one. 188 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: This is a seventeen chapter book though, yea, indeed it is. 189 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: So what happened in Dallas. Jets fans obviously upset disappointed 190 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: this morning. You're disappointed, but you got to turn the page. Yeah, 191 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: from your dvantage point, what happened in Dallas because you 192 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: guys got behind the eight ball early and then never 193 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: could kind of get that momentum. 194 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think, you know, for offense in a whole, 195 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: we just never got into rhythm. You know, I think 196 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: our game plan was was coming in. We knew how, 197 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: we knew we had to run the ball. We knew 198 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 3: we had to run it well, and unfortunately, you know, 199 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: we didn't. Like I said, we just couldn't really get 200 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: into the rhythm and were forced to, you know, be 201 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: throwing the ball pretty much all second half. And uh, 202 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: I mean it is turning into the passing league. But 203 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 3: the end of the day, you gotta be able to 204 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: run the ball, and like I said, we just weren't 205 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: able to get it going. So credit to their defense, 206 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: you know they did. They did a good job of 207 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 3: shutting it down early. And that's that's pretty much it. 208 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: Man. 209 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: It's just that's all I could say about it. So 210 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: we couldn't get into the rhythm, and yeah, so now 211 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: we gotta gotta put the page and move on to 212 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 3: a big game this week, Patriots at home. 213 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 4: We all know what type of game that is. We 214 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: all know what's going to be a dogfight. 215 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 3: So everybody in the building is isn't happy about you know, 216 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: last night or yesterday's game. But uh, we had to 217 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: come in and fix those corrections and make sure, you know, 218 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: we turn the page. 219 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: How good is Parsons because this guy lines up all 220 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: over the place and moves around and he's so explosive. 221 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's a it's a good Eleven is a 222 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: good player. Definitely. 223 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: Uh we seen it yesterday on the field. I mean 224 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: we've seen it for the past two years now. Uh say, 225 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: credit to him, he's definitely. I would say that the 226 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: leader of that defense I wanted to get them going, 227 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: makes a big plays for him, and yesterday he was 228 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: all over the field, So getting credit to him in 229 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: their defense. But yeah, I mean, good player. You know, 230 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: we had our good plays against him, he had our 231 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: good He had his good plays against us. So that's 232 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 3: how it goes. 233 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: It seemed like you guys situationally weren't in I guess 234 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: traditional first and tense situations like a lot of the 235 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: time that you will facing. Okay, you gotta definicit right 236 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: out of the gate. Yeah, they get the lead, they 237 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: take the ball, go right down the field. 238 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: It's seven to nothing. 239 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that fake punt early in the first quarter, that 240 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: a nine yard run from Breese. I just thought this 241 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: was a microcosm of how it went offensively. Nine yards 242 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: on first down, and then second and one can't convert, 243 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: third and one can't convert, and then before you know it, 244 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: you got a punt away and third down was a 245 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: problem all game. 246 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's what I'm saying about earlier when you 247 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: asked me the questions, like we couldn't just get into 248 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: the rhythm. I don't know what it was looking at 249 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: the tape, you know, it was either we were one 250 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: block away or or we were just shooting ourselves in 251 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: the foot, you know. And that happened pretty early on 252 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: in the game. And then once that happens, once you 253 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: don't come out fast, you know, especially in this league, 254 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: it's hard. It's hard to I guess, get the energy 255 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: back or pick it up, you know what I'm saying. 256 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 4: So, yeah, we just didn't come out. 257 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: You were close though, because Garrett Garrett score. They were 258 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: dominated line. But then it's ten to seven. 259 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing, Like we were, you know, we 260 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: were very close, and our defense, you know, we didn't 261 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: obviously put him in the best situation, so you know, 262 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: our defense was able to keep us in the game 263 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 3: for a little bit. But yeah, it's just right when 264 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: we got closed, then just started to slip away again. 265 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: And uh, like I said, that's something that we got 266 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: to look at and figure out why, you know it 267 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: whether it's you know, one block away or shooting ourselves 268 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 3: in the foot or or miscommunication whatever it is. You know, 269 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: so we got to take all that and turn the page, 270 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: move on to Patriots and figure out the best way, 271 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 3: you know, to get this win. 272 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: There were two plays there in that first half where 273 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: you guys almost had a lead on the sauce Sauce 274 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: drops of route on the sideline for ceedee lamb. Yeah, 275 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: he catches that ball, he's probably making a call and 276 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: you guys have a lead. And then they're at that 277 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: of the half. What did you see Because Zach makes 278 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: enough a few nice plays with his legs and then 279 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: he's got Garrett open in the end zone it and 280 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: somebody just gets his hand on the ball. Otherwise that's 281 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: probably a touchdown. It's a four point game at the half. 282 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So. 283 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: That's another thing too, Right, It's like we go into 284 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 3: your two minute drive and then and half you know 285 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: we're moving. The ball is actually do in a real 286 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: good job in the pocket making plays with his legs. 287 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: Old line is you know, holding up, you know, with 288 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 3: protection pretty well. And then it's just like that one 289 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: play where Garrett's open and then someone you know gets 290 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: to that that slightest bit of his hand that kind 291 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: of throws out the throw. It's those plays that I'm 292 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: talking about. It's you know, you never know what play 293 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 3: it's gonna be, so technique always has to be there. 294 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 4: You always got to be sound with that. 295 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: And that's just one of those plays where it just 296 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: didn't work out for us. Like I said, where one 297 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 3: guy is you know, unblocked for a split second. 298 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: What was it like in the locker room after the game? 299 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 4: The the energy was I said, energy was low. 300 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: It's always gonna be low after after a loss, right, 301 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: especially one like that where we know we're we're going 302 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 3: in there and with high energy and then we just 303 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 3: come out knowing that we beat ourselves. Right, Like I said, 304 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: credit to them, they're a good team, but we did 305 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 3: a lot of things to ourselves that we could have prevented. Right, 306 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: So you go in knowing something like that, or you 307 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: go into the locker room with the end of game 308 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: knowing something like that. It's just one of those, you know, 309 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 3: weird goody feelings that if we were just if we 310 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 3: just did this and we just came out, you know, 311 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: like this, and we just didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, 312 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: like I said, you know, it'd be a different outcome. 313 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: But you know, we happed on a plane, came in 314 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: this morning, watched all the film.

And we really tape, you know, 353 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to say it wasn't it wasn't bad, 354 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: but there's definitely some things we could work on.

I mean I had pulled a hamshing before, 404 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 3: but I never had anything with upper body issues. So, 405 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: you know, I just a normal punch, just like any 406 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: other punch I've done, you know, my career, than some 407 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 3: odd reason, you know, weird free accident.

I didn't know what it was. 410 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: I thought i'd be out, you know, probably three four 411 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 3: weeks really at most. Yeah, I mean, because I just 412 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 3: didn't know what it was. I didn't know it had 413 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 3: completely been torn off.

You 416 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 3: know it's real tough mentally, but you know, I got 417 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 3: through it, came in, got my rehabit, and. 418 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 4: I'm feeling strong this year. 419 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: What was rehab like a lot of hours. 420 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: In the facility when nobody else is here during the 421 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: off season, So you know, I got a crab out here, 422 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: you know, living my wife and stuff. Coming in here 423 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: every day for about three or four hours, you know, 424 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 3: get the rehab in, maybe a little lower body lift, 425 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: you know, when I could do that. And it's a 426 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 3: lot of hours man too. And surgery is obviously no 427 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: fun for every for anyone. No one ever talks about 428 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: that too. But yeah, the surgery, I like doing all that. 429 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: No, I know, how long does it take you to 430 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: put weight back on, because you're saying, like I come 431 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: in and I'm get my lift in and doing the 432 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: lower body stuff.

I think people probably thought 505 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: Aaron coming in knows the system. You guys got to 506 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: pick it up that maybe you get off to a 507 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: faster start. Now you got Aaron out, you got Zach 508 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: back in the lineup, but he's learning the system him 509 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: as well. But for you specifically, what's been like the change. 510 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the change, I would say it's it's been. It's 511 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: been pretty fluid right from the start of the OTAs. 512 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 3: I think Hackett. 513 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 4: Uh. One, I think he's a good office coordinator. 514 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 3: Two, I think he's a cool, funny guy, which not 515 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 3: many people may know, but dude's actually hilarious and he 516 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: makes those opposite meetings fun and and uh just makes 517 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 3: you feel, I don't know, more relaxed or whatever you 518 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 3: want to call it. And then you know Key Carter 519 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 3: as well, coming from Tennessee with a good running game 520 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: coming in, I think he really knows how to coach 521 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 3: will and knows a good scheme as well. He's come 522 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: in and I like him. You know, he's a real 523 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: physical all that or brings a real physical mentality to 524 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: the office line play. But sometimes you don't see anymore. 525 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: So I think both those guys, Hackett and coach Carter 526 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 3: do a real good job together. 527 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: All Right, we're seeing you all over the nation right 528 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: now in commercials.

I think it's always cool, 534 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 3: do you when you get to represent Yeah, when you 535 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: have an opportunity to represent your culture. 536 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 4: Right.
