Speaker 1: Guys. Just the injuries from the game. Christian had a
Speaker 1: something with his calf, didn't return, possible calf strain. We
Speaker 1: have to see tomorrow on it though. Yes, that's why
Speaker 1: were laid in here. It was awesome. Well, didn't want
Speaker 1: to really try to not pay attention to it, didn't
Speaker 1: want to get our hearts broke, but we did right
Speaker 1: there at the end, and they pulled it out. That
Speaker 1: was pretty cool to see. We, I mean, we think
Speaker 1: will be all right. I don't know if he would
Speaker 1: have been able to go next week or not, but
Speaker 1: we'll have to find out more tomorrow. But he was
Speaker 1: moving around all right on the sideline, so hoping that
Speaker 1: it's not too bad. But I want to know tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I really didn't think about it. We
Speaker 1: were just focused on this. I'll definitely try to rest
Speaker 1: some guys, but I mean, you can't rest everybody. It's
Speaker 1: too hard. You don't have enough players. So we got
Speaker 1: to fill the team without a doubt. But and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a big week of practice, you know. I
Speaker 1: still think there's lots of things we got to obviously get
Speaker 1: a lot better at, and the only way you do
Speaker 1: that is playing football and practice and football. So I
Speaker 1: have a big Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, figure out our roster
Speaker 1: as the week goes, and decide what we'll do for Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's huge, uh, you know, in these last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: just we've been a little banged up and there's been
Speaker 1: a couple of positions that just we've been getting rolled
Speaker 1: thin at. Guys had to push through a number of
Speaker 1: spots and some of those guys are doing that. Hopefully
Speaker 1: this will help him out. I thought Elijah did a
Speaker 1: great job, you know. I mean when Elijah's healthy, I
Speaker 1: think he's as good as anybody. It's he's been working
Speaker 1: to come back. He was close to last week and
Speaker 1: has had had a real good week this week, and
Speaker 1: he was ready for the moment. And then when Christian
Speaker 1: went down, he just came in took over. So I
Speaker 1: thought I did a real good job. Still, how big
Speaker 1: was that? Yeah, he's I mean, he's at a hell
Speaker 1: of a year and that was a big Uh. That
Speaker 1: was a good call by Steve Collin. Zero quarterback had
Speaker 1: to get rid of it and Mooney was all over
Speaker 1: him and then he made the catch. I wish they
Speaker 1: would have blown it earlier cause watch him use a
Speaker 1: lot of effort, but it was cool to watch him
Speaker 1: almost score. I wasn't sure if he was down or not.
Speaker 1: But he's been playing his ass off for a little
Speaker 1: bit now and keeps getting better field. I was a
Speaker 1: little nervous at first saw him running around, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure we don't lose yards or
Speaker 1: anything like that, cause I thought we we were at
Speaker 1: least in field goal range. But he created bought some time.
Speaker 1: And then when I saw that ball leave going across
Speaker 1: the field and quickly looked to where it was and
Speaker 1: he was all alone, quickly was excited. So it's a
Speaker 1: hell of a play by him, and it's great to
Speaker 1: get seven there. Coach, you hear about that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't calling off script play when lots of times
Speaker 1: players don't work in practice, and when they don't work,
Speaker 1: the quarterback breaks the pocket and you just have rules
Speaker 1: and stuff. I'm coaching guys on how they distribute the field,
Speaker 1: and but yeah, anytime the play doesn't work, whenever we
Speaker 1: use it as a rep to do that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: And uh, he's got a good knack for it. Well,
Speaker 1: he's talk about how do you like I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not that I don't mind talking about football, it's just
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep trying to come up with things
Speaker 1: to say when there's four clips and each one of
Speaker 1: them is different, you know, So it's just a simple
Speaker 1: football play. And then I think it's real tough when
Speaker 1: someone does that and it's about football, and then he's
Speaker 1: got to answer questions all week about how his mental
Speaker 1: state is, how everything is. It's just how the world works,
Speaker 1: and it's just a football game. He studied his tail
Speaker 1: off all week, practiced well, knew some of the reasons
Speaker 1: he made some mistakes in the game before, and just
Speaker 1: treated like any other week. And I think it's good
Speaker 1: to get out there and didn't have any picks today,
Speaker 1: which I think would be good to not have to
Speaker 1: answer questions on those. But I thought it was a
Speaker 1: hell of a deal for him. I mean, I've had
Speaker 1: a lot of real good quarterbacks in this organization, and
Speaker 1: you know, just being told in there that he broke
Speaker 1: the record for the whole time yards in a year,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big accomplishment by him and everyone else
Speaker 1: in there. So it's cool to do that today and
Speaker 1: and to lock up to one seed kind of you
Speaker 1: guys on Monday across country flight. What does it say
Speaker 1: about what you guys have built here in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years to just be able to handle all
Speaker 1: of the adniversary you were talking about that. That was
Speaker 1: real proud of the guys today because it was it
Speaker 1: was a tough week. I mean, I think it was
Speaker 1: more about the motions of last week. Whenever you have
Speaker 1: a big game like that, and it's just it's so
Speaker 1: exciting to play on Christmas in front of everyone, those
Speaker 1: two the two teams with the records, and it's just
Speaker 1: the motions for everybody was huge, and then it's you're
Speaker 1: tired from that. Takes a while to get everyone back
Speaker 1: going again, not just physically but also mentally. So I
Speaker 1: had a lot of concerns about that throughout the week,
Speaker 1: talk to the players a lot about it, but you
Speaker 1: never know how they're gonna be till game day. And
Speaker 1: I was just pumped at they went out, don't worry
Speaker 1: about anything else and found a way to win. It's good,
Speaker 1: but important is he to what you guys do. It's
Speaker 1: tough to win without a left tackle you can trust,
Speaker 1: and it helps you win when probably have the best
Speaker 1: left tackle. Ever, he's a guy that we don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about. He's a guy that makes plays for
Speaker 1: us too. You know, being with Trend's rookie year all
Speaker 1: the way to now, he's always has been. He almost
Speaker 1: looks the same. I mean, he you think he's not
Speaker 1: gonna been to his knees much and walk through and stuff,
Speaker 1: which I give him hard time for. But once that
Speaker 1: ball snaps, he looks like he's twenty three. So he's
Speaker 1: as good of an athlete as I've been around. He's
Speaker 1: one of the biggest best leaders on our team. Football
Speaker 1: is very important Trent, and he really enjoys playing, he
Speaker 1: really enjoys studying it. And I just feel very fortunate
Speaker 1: to have him on our team. And I can't say
Speaker 1: enough about Trent any any emotions as far as today,
Speaker 1: you're no, not at all. This is I used to
Speaker 1: have those, but it's a totally different place here now
Speaker 1: and different people, and you know, there's nothing personal here anymore.
Speaker 1: The personal stuff is gone. As a coach, uh, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm he's with winning, and then after you win, then
Speaker 1: you kind of look at all the other stats, and
Speaker 1: especially after last week, I mean, the turnovers and penalties
Speaker 1: I think made it really tough to win. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad we cleaned that up, and I'm glad we got
Speaker 1: the W all right, all right, guys, thanks
