1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: It's like, when do you feel like you're already in 2 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: a position to be a pump leader on this team. UM. Yeah, uh, 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: you know I felt that way since since I got 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: drafted it. Um, that's something I wanted to do. That's 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: a gold mine. But I know you can't just take 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: on that role from day one. You gotta grow into 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: that role and um, you know, earn a respect to 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: your teammates and UM that's something I'm continue to trying 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: to do every single day's growing into that role and 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: or in the respecting your teammates. Part of going after Julia, 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: going after Julius Peppers are responding to him going after 12 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: you the way you guys did Um. I mean it's 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: not not really so much as that, it's just, um, 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: the way the way you carry yourself, the way you work. Um, 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: come to work with your head down. UM, try to 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: do anything you can possible to to help the team. Um. 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: Those stuff goes a long way. UM, and obviously you're 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: you're playing the field goes along way too. But the 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: trying to be one of the first people in here 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: working butt off in a weight room, asking questions, try 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: to prepare yourself like a pro, like a vet um 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: stuff like that. That's what what um, what sits well 23 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: with your team? And um, that's that's how I try 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: to continue to grow into that row. Coach Rumor was 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: saying that he sat with he had the plane a 26 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: little bit of the way back and talked over about that. 27 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: Is there anything that he get parted to you at 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: all but that it reinforced that or Yeah, Um, coach 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Meumer sat down on a plane with me. Uh and 30 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: you know set some some some very some great things 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: that needed here. Um. But obviously that that's some conversation 32 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: between me and coach Meummer. It seems like every game 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: there were two or three players where someone's just tripping 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: you up by a shoelace and preventing it from going 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: to distance. Is it hard to be patient to know 36 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: that you're like a shoelace away from from going through 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: the endine? Uh, yeah, it's not. It's not hard to 38 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: be patient there. Um. Obviously you get frustrated because you 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: know it's so close, um, from from breaking those big ones. 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: But you also got to know how how those big 41 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: ones developed. And you know it's just like in the 42 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: game this throughout the season, and you gotta be patient. 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: You gotta take your time. UM. You gotta give, you 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: gotta take what the defense gives you. UM. But understanding 45 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: that when your opportunity comes, you gotta be willing execute. 46 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: And we've been capable of doing that sometimes this year. 47 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: But that's something where we can expand also as a 48 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: as a as a team, and as an especially often 49 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: size as a ring game. In the ring game, for 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: a guy who you know comes from college and you win, 51 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: who's one of two games, it's a you know, it's 52 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: really awful, UM that if you win Thursday night, you 53 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: can be right in the thick of it is you know, 54 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: NFC East Chase, I mean, is that surprising? You you know, 55 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: are frustrating? Shocking? What is it? You know? Not? It's 56 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: not frustrating, It's not shocking. UM. At the end of 57 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: the day, like I think everyone's goal is to to 58 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. UM. And that's that's still in play. UM. 59 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: And in my opinion, if you ask me, UM, you know, 60 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: like you said, what, I think we're a game behind 61 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: in the division. And I mean, I know I haven't 62 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: been in the NFL for a long time, but I 63 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: think if you win your division and you automatically go 64 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Uh. So everything, like I said before 65 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: a quote that koch Schrmer said a couple of weeks ago. Um, 66 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: everything that we want for our season is still the 67 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: only thing that's not capable of doing is having an 68 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: UNDERFFEWI season. I think only two teams are still allowed 69 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: to do that. So and you know, everyone want to 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: win every single game, but that may not be the case. 71 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: So the cases making to the playoffs and trying to 72 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and all that still in play. 73 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: So we have to keep that mindset that. Um, this 74 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: game is a big game. It's a huge game coming 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: up because it's the next game of our schedule. UM. 76 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: And obviously it is in our division, but we have 77 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to treat it like it's the biggest game in the 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: year because the next game of scheduling, come out, want 79 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: to win. Even though it was a loss on Sunday, 80 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: What did you take away of the offensive way and 81 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: this team that scored three four instance before you got here, 82 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: um Um I think uh, I think that showed what 83 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: what we're capable of. And we put up thirty points. Um, 84 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: But I think we left a couple still out there 85 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: also too. Um. So UM, Like I said, I've been 86 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: saying from day once since I got here that I 87 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: believe in his offense, I believe in his team, I 88 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: believe in the coach and staff, and I believe the 89 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: sky's limit and UM, and you know it's it. It 90 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be pretty from day one. UM, we would 91 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: have wanted that way anyway. We gotta continue to keep growing, 92 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: continue to keep working in UM to be able to 93 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: put up three points and obviously lose a game like that. 94 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: I think that game show you know, there's the toughness 95 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: of gret Um, the passion that that we played with 96 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: as a team, and UM, obviously it wasn't a way. 97 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: The outcome wasn't what we wanted to be UM, But 98 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: you can learn a lot of things from that game 99 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: and take that game a long way on. I even 100 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: watched Eagles tape this year, but they're known for playing 101 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: that wide nine defense with the defensive linemen spread out. 102 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: Why the cost source on a cross the field? Is 103 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: that a different style of defense. But you wasn't running 104 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: back to a jack, you know, you every every defensive 105 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: style is a little bit different. You have to attack 106 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: in different ways. And see in different ways. But at 107 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: the end of day, it's all about UM, keep your 108 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: shoulders square, to aligne of scrimments, UM, trying to set 109 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: the blosophy, running for your a lineman, UM to get 110 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: to the next level, and UH taking what they give you. 111 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: When you get the opportunity, you gotta gash them. And 112 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: you know the Eagles, UM, I think they probably on 113 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: the top rush defense in in the league. UM that 114 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, when you watch more film, they they stand out. 115 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Just like every team in NFL. I saw what I'm 116 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: starting to learn. Every team in NFL is legit. Every 117 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: week you go into an NFL is gonna be a 118 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: ball game, and you gotta fight and grind and find 119 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: a way to win. UM. But yeah, like I said, 120 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: there's a very talented team, but we're very talented team 121 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: to UM. So it's gonna be it's gonna be a 122 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: heck of a game. And obviously it's a short week. UM, 123 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: but we gotta get our money right, you get our 124 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: body right, and come out to play out to the 125 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: best of our abilities.
