Speaker 3: for those couple of days. You know, it's a different

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 3: kind of time. But dealing with everything, it's a it's

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: definitely an open case. So I can't be I can't

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: even say anything about it. Uh, I would be opening

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: any football questions or anything you want to know.

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: And I'm saying I don't.

14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: Want to be rude or you know, disrupt anyway. So

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: if anybody asked me a question that it's pertaining to it,

16
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,360

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: kind of know me at this point.

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,599

20
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 4: you yesterday on the field break and huddle and seems

21
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 4: like you're the leader out there at this point.

22
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Still you're at a football question.

23
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: Well, it's not about any sort of crime. It's just

24
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 4: about how you lead and how your teammates.

25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: Regarding football, I'm gonna continue to be the guy I've been,

26
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: you know, trying to finish the season strong. It's definitely

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: it's a good team on the other side of the

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: on the other side of the road, you know, in

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: the good heat. But going in with the right mindset,

30
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep the same mindset. I've been the leader

31
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: on this team. I've been the same person this whole time.

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: Don't expect no changes for me.

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: So how do you guys guard against distractions?

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: It's kind of been a thing throughout the year. You know,

35
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: we all deal with life stuff, you know, family stuff,

36
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: it's the worldly stuff. It's just you know, being a

Speaker 1: team to.

81
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 5: Parison moment?

82
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: It's it's like imperative, you know.

83
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: They he gave us a funny stat like seventy percent

84
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: of teams win games in the playoffs if they win

85
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: their last game.

86
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: So it was some stat like they don't quote. I

87
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: don't want to get wrong, but you're gonna.

88
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Have to ask Braves. But I mean, it's where you

89
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: want to go. You're gonna have to play good football

90
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: no matter what. We kind of look at it as

91
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: from top down, not just games.

92
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: With practice.

93
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: Whise how you practice and the habits that you built

94
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: throughout the year, they're gonna carry over good batter and

95
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: different If you can get better in certain areas and

96
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: certain periods of practice, I think it'll be good for us.

97
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: You know, we kind of took some losses early on.

98
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: We took a loss drout this season, not too many,

99
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: but we learned from every last one of them. So

100
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a good to learn from the success

101
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: that you have as well.

102
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,960

Speaker 1: H new Year's resolution.

104
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: I try not to go onto the new year like

00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: on some like I'm gonna switch a bunch of stuff up,

106
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: but try to cut back on the.

107
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Sweeps, the shouting gurdon there.

108
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's a it's a prayer, no hope.

109
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: But you know, I, like I kind of said it

110
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: last week, like, if it does happen, I'm always happy,

111
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, thankful and not just my success.

112
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: Is a lot of guys out there, you know, a

113
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: lot of guys blocking God throwing the ball, Remandre trading

114
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: on protecting them. So, uh, fingers crossed it happened. If

115
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: it doesn't, you know, I won't be I won't cry

116
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: in the corner. But if it does, you know, I

117
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: might shave it tear joy.

118
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the number one seed is still

119
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: up for grabs? If you guys never know, never know.

120
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on the other side of

121
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: what they're doing over there. But I know it's I know,

122
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: we gotta win, and if something happens with Racus where

123
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: we do get it.

124
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: You know good. If we don't, hey, we got.

125
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Some home games to but it'll be all hands on deck.

126
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: You think the Sunday everyone's gonna be flying out there

127
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: for us, Uh, nobody know we're gonna rest.

128
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's gonna be starting and going forward for tell.

129
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not on the scout.

130
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: Before you got didn't you just talk to Yeah, we

131
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: didn't get to that.

132
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: And I think I hope everybody's out there, everybody that's healthy.

133
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: At least home games that important.

134
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: I mean you, if you don't top, you could be

135
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: two or three.

136
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: If you're two, Yeah, is that important?

137
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: I think it is personal because I've been in the

138
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: playoffs just a couple of times. Playing at home when

139
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: you're in your comfort zone, you're sleeping in your own

140
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: bed as sometimes.

141
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: Uh, you being around the guys you don't have to travel.

142
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: Travel might be another thing guy's coming from like the

143
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: West coast or something like that, being adjusting. But I

144
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: think being at home is being comfortable and put you

145
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: in the Dutch spot in your home field.

146
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: You got your fans there, you got your family there.

147
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: It's different, but you know, if we got to go

148
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: in the road, we gotta go on the road. But

149
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: hosting those playoff games is something we talked about all year.
