1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Um, Look, obviously I'm proud of the players in the 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: way they played tonight. Um, they had a good year. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: We've improved in every game. A Probably the way they 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: came out today and fought for sixty minutes. We knew 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: it was gonna be a game that went down to 6 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: the wire, as all of our division games do. Um. 7 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm probably the way they've played, and probably way they've 8 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: blocked out a lot of external factors and stuck together 9 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: as a team moved forward. So that being said, open 10 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: up any question to have about this game or whatever 11 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: it's going forward And Doug in the athletic Hey, Joe, 12 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have any Eagles gear laying 13 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: around you. You're breaking out tonight like what would to 14 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: night be like for you? You know what? To be 15 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: honest with. Um, I'm gonna go back to the office 16 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: right now, start watching Tampa. I'll have the game on 17 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: in the background and we'll see what happens tonight. Tom 18 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: Rock Newsday, what was your take on the the end 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: of the game there with the Goldman fumble? What what 20 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: were you seeing on the screen and what were you 21 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: being told by the officials? Well, we couldn't see anything 22 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: on the screen, but we were lying on right there 23 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: is the fact that they had already signaled the first down, 24 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: and at that point it's gotta be a obvious, clear 25 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: recovery to overturn that. So, you know, we're kind of 26 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more in limbo in terms of what 27 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: was going on through a view part of it, and 28 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: they're looking really more on the spot. You know, we're 29 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: talking through a lot of scenarios. I'm talking to Pad 30 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: on the headset in terms of defensive to go back 31 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: out there, talking offense in terms of you know, we 32 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: have to expect them to use their time out. That 33 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: will give him one time out left. Now we're in 34 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: victor formation. Um, just talking about scenario is going up 35 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: right there. It looked like when Wayne went down. I 36 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: still haven't seen a clean replay of it. Look like 37 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: when Wayne went down, he covered it right away between 38 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: his legs. Um, that's what I saw from the sideline. 39 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell it. That's the absolute end of it, 40 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: But I just know what they said on first down. 41 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: So we got our offense back on the field out there, 42 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: and then on on a somewhat similar play, the catch 43 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: by Pettis before the field goal. It looked like video 44 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: show that that was was that was an incompletion. We 45 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: surprised that wasn't challenged. No, I wouldn't say I was 46 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: surprised it wasn't challenged a scoring place. So they're gonna 47 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: review that up top anyway. Um, you know, look, as 48 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: far as we're concerning we were talking with the officials 49 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: in terms of what the scenarios are gonna be. I 50 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: was actually talking about the one right before the field goal, 51 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: the ten you are game to set up the him 52 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: to your field goal. Oh as far as that one 53 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: right there, uh, you know what to be Honestly, we 54 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: didn't get anything up top, you know, indicating from our 55 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: guys who were looking at from a different view that 56 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: it may be a challengeable type play. We got the 57 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: field goal team out there and just want ahead and executed. Obviously, 58 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: if they ruled it incomplete, we may play the situation 59 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: a little b differently. Wouldn't have been a field range 60 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: at that point would have made a decision between go 61 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: for that point or probably punt. Espn A Joe, what 62 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: did you say to your team about the idea that 63 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: you know, through sixteen games, they at least put themselves 64 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: in position where you're obviously if the sit week, but 65 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: you can't still win the division. Look, my words as 66 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: a team at the end of the day was just 67 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: pretty much how proud I was that they kept playing. Okay, 68 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: you know what they've been able to do, stick together 69 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: as a team, the progress we've made, and then ultimately, 70 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: whatever happens tonight, Right, whatever happens tonight, let's just be 71 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: ready to come into work tomorrow and do whatever we 72 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: have to do. You know, make the right decisions tonight, 73 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: make sure we're prepared that if something goes our way, 74 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: that we're ready to go ahead and play next week. 75 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: But we'll let tonight take care of itself. We had 76 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: opportunities for sixteen weeks, you know, we gotta make sure 77 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: someone's got a mute their deal right there, guys, all right, 78 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: we had opportunities for sixteen weeks. So look, we came 79 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: in today. It was a meaningful game, obviously put us 80 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: in position to have a chance. Our guys went out 81 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: and took care of business tonight. Uh so we'll see 82 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: what happens in another game. How much does it teach 83 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: you or tell you about this team that they were 84 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, this was essentially a playoff game and elimination 85 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: game for you guys that you were were able to 86 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: play well in this kind of spot, well, I think 87 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: it shows that we've had a lot of growth as 88 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: a team throughout the year in terms of their wherewithal 89 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: and fortitude. I mean, I think that showed up throughout 90 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: the entire year. And I keep saying I found out 91 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot more about our team when we're own five 92 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: and one and seven that I did down the stretch. 93 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: I think that showed what kind of team and culture 94 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: and foundation were built here, the foundation pieces we have 95 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: in this locker room going forward. You know the way 96 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: these guys came to work every single day, never complained, 97 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: never questioned, just came in and went to work all right. 98 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: And again there were times early in the season where 99 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: you're own five, one and seven and the sound on 100 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the outside maybe how are these guys are gonna hold up? 101 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: How are they gonna do? At all points, everyone start 102 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: question and looking around. The reality was they were probably 103 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: our best practices. Now we had to learn to practice 104 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: better as a team and be better in execution. But 105 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: terms of showing up every day to work and getting 106 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: the most out of our guys service of energy and buying, 107 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: and that's really the weeks we made the most progress 108 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: as a team. So you know, the thing was we 109 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: could just show him tape on Monday and correct the 110 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: mistakes and let them understand what we have to do 111 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: better to win games. And until we stopped from losing games, 112 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: we can't win them. Um, and this guy's understood that. 113 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: We just kept coming to work every day. So really 114 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: we learned a lot about ourselves in the first half 115 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: of the year and that carried us through this back 116 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: half of the year to have a lot more success. 117 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Bruce Back NBC, Jill, what do you think of your defense, 118 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: specifically the pressure you put on them today? Yeah, I 119 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: thought they did a nice job overall. I mean, obviously 120 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: it's an explosive offense to capable of scoring a lot 121 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: of points. Uh, you know, look, I thought Andy did 122 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: a real good job playing today, and you know, he 123 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: really gave us a headache pulling the ball down and 124 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: really kind of going ahead and create an extra yards 125 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: when he saw a lane they used somebody I've see, 126 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, when he pulled it at the end of 127 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: the game down there in the red zone to get 128 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: the first down. That was a big player right there. Look, 129 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: he's a smart quarterback, he's a tough quarterback, he's an 130 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: experienced guy. We knew he was gonna make plays throughout 131 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: the day. You know, our concern was really not letting 132 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: these guys make explosive plays with the ball in their hand. 133 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: And we knew he was gonna distribute it around and 134 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: kind of find some holes and zones and kind of 135 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: hit some matchups and man a man, at times we 136 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: had to do a good job of tackling, and you know, 137 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: there's some times we'd be better tackling executing as a team. Um, 138 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: but down the stretch, guys are to make some place 139 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: our forts New York Post. Hey Joe, um, how important 140 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: was it for you first of all too after that 141 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: late season skid of three games, that this was the 142 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: kind of game that you guys used to were winning 143 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: when you were playing well, you know, this was kind 144 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: of like that same form it was to get back 145 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: to that and also beating the Cowboys with a seven 146 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: game losing street organization had to him not you did 147 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: anyone around you, ownership or front office say anything about 148 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: finally beating the Cowboys? No, Look what we've really made 149 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: this about, you know, one game at a time here, Paul, 150 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: So that last three games obviously before today, there wasn't 151 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: a result we wanted. But we turn the page every 152 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: week and we truly are just trying to go one 153 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: and every week and keep our focus centered on that 154 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: week's opponent, learned from last week's mistakes, put our focus 155 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: on the team we had to play that Sunday and 156 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: play our best game. You know, in terms of anything 157 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: that's happened here before, um, we have a great respect 158 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: for the history of this organization, the players, the coaches, 159 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: all right, the stories, the games. That's a focus we 160 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: put on, all right. We put a priority in our 161 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: players understanding what's happened before them here. But in terms 162 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: of worrying about losing streaks, you know, look real simple, 163 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: there were different teams, and to be quite honest, next 164 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: year's team will be a different team as well. It 165 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter if it's the same players. It's a 166 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: different team. It's a different year, and all that matters 167 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: is what you do each week independently against that opponent 168 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: and how you play, So there's no curse hanging over. 169 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: There was no seven game losing streak for us, we 170 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: just knew that this team earlier in the year played Dallas. 171 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: We left plays on the field, and we had things 172 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: we had to clean up and correct, and we were 173 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: able to do that enough today to have success. Did 174 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: anyone um um since the game ended from the organization 175 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: express how much they like beating Dallas though? To you. Look, 176 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: there were a lot of smiles and hugs in the 177 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: socially distance hugs in the locker room after the game. 178 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: So I think everyone right at this point right now 179 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: is we've gone through a lot, you know, starting back 180 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: in the spring on zoom meetings, you push on forward, 181 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: you go through training camp and unconventional training camp. These 182 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: guys did a great job responding to what we asked 183 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: them to and along the way, it was the upper management, 184 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: all right. It was a scouting department, It was the ownership, 185 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: it was the trainers, it was equipment staff, it was 186 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: everybody in that building working with one vision, one direction. 187 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,559 Speaker 1: So you know the culmination of what we did today, Uh, Look, 188 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: everybody was happy. Everybody's happy. And again the focus isn't 189 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: on what mayor may not happened tonight. The focus is 190 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: on our goal this week was to beat Dallas, and 191 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: that's what we did in the record and hey, Joe 192 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: um in terms of the play when they're driving after 193 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: after Dalton pulled it on that fourth down run, you 194 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: get the pressure from Leonard on third down and the 195 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: balls up in the air. Are you how what's your 196 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: perspective on that play when the when the when the 197 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: balls in the air, well, you see McKinney in position 198 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: or you know what are you seeing? Yeah? I knew 199 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: we were gonna have help in that part of the 200 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: field because the defense that was called. We saw the 201 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: pressure Leonard gave on it and when he threw it 202 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: and it kind of float up. At that point in 203 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the game, the balls were very slick. You saw some 204 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: drops on that point. You know, I'd say in the 205 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: second half is kind when the moisture started by the 206 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: back of the fourth quarters, when the kind of really 207 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: start affecting receivers cross the board. But when you saw 208 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the ball kind of go up there and just flutter, 209 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, immediately mys went to the back end. I 210 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: saw z there in position. Uh, he was able to 211 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: make the play. He caught it, and then my next 212 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: thought was staying the damn end zone. So that though yes, 213 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: he did, so we stressed that enough in that situation. 214 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: How it played out, there's times were given the green light, 215 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: the rolling out. But you know, those guys are a 216 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: smart group. They play well together. Um, so he was 217 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: able to make the right play situationally from New York 218 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: Post Joe's Sterling. Shepherd's scores two touchdowns in this game 219 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: has probably his best game in the season here. Um, 220 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: he's actually the only Giant who's that played in a 221 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: playoff game in this uniform on your roster. I'm wondering 222 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: about what you thought of him here and in your 223 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: big biggest game in the season. Well, I think in 224 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: every game we count of all of our players to 225 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: give us production. Um, Starling's a guy comes to work 226 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: every day. We know he's got a focal point of 227 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: the offense. He's definitely a very competitive guy. He's a 228 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: guy that this week it was very banged up and 229 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: pushed through for practice and he saw him as limited 230 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: through practice. I'd say he was limited, but he was 231 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: really grinding through a lot of pain throughout the week. 232 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: But you know that when this guy gets the game day, 233 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna give you play, He's gonna give you production 234 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: that He's a guy that obviously he missed a lot 235 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: early in the season when he was hurt. We're happy 236 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: to get him back, not only for his ability to 237 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: make plays on the field, but also what he brings 238 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: to our team in the locker room and leadership throughout 239 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: the game. You know, he's a guy that really plays. 240 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: He plays tough, he plays down hill, he plays strong, 241 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: and our guys have a lot of confidence with him 242 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: on the field because he's that guy in his crucial moments, 243 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: he wants the ball and you want to find a 244 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: way to get it to him. And then how hard 245 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: is that played that gallman is making there at the 246 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: end of the game, to know you got the first down, 247 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: you should just go down. Like the balance of fighting 248 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: for extra yards versus ball security there. Obviously he already 249 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: had the first down when he fumbled. Yeah, Look, the 250 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: priority on that right there is we had to always 251 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: have ball scure. I don't care if it's the first 252 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: player the game or last play the game. So I mean, look, obviously, 253 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, Wayne's a guy we trust. He's gives a 254 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: lot of production. That was a heck of a job 255 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: at the line blocking there, him running and put in 256 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: that position right there where at that point in the 257 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: game under a minute they had two time outs and 258 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: basically that's secured the win right there for us to 259 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: go ahead and get into victory formation. So it was 260 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: a good run. Obviously, we'll continue working as a team 261 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: on ball security going forward. Um, that's always a priority 262 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: for our team, no matter what time of year it's 263 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: gonna be. Uh. We're fortunately get the ball back in 264 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: that situation and UH and Wayne helped us do a 265 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: lot of positive things today And obviously he's a key 266 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: part of while we won the game. On say two 267 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: more Nata Lombardo Za rose A Lombardo fansided, Sure, Um, 268 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: Lenny Williams had three sacks today. How big has he 269 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: been for you all year? And how important wasn't for 270 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: you guys to get that kind of performance out of 271 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: him today? Yeah, we need our guys make plays, and 272 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: we challenge our defensive line to be honestly, we really 273 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: challenged and we talked about last time I went down 274 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: to Dallas and quite simply, we need to have a 275 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: better performance up front, and we did on both sides 276 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: of the ball today. You know, Leonard's a guy that 277 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: we knows tremendous player. We love him in the building. 278 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: He's a great teammate, he's fun to coach. You know, 279 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: he makes your job a lot easier in terms of 280 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: coming to work and enjoying your job, but then also 281 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: making plays on the field, because really, you know, players 282 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: make coaches good or not. You know, you can't be 283 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: a good coach with bad players. That's kind of the 284 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: reality of it right there. And he's a good player, 285 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: so he makes us all look a lot better. We 286 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: needed to get place from him. He definitely stepped up. 287 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: And uh, look he's been a blasted coach Zaja dot 288 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: com and Jo what was the message to Evan especially 289 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, he had a couple of tough jobs and 290 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: then one of them obviously became an interceptions. I know 291 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: you've been really you know positive and them this year, 292 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: But what was the message after those? Yeah, real simple, 293 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I just stressed on, Hey, look the balls slick, let's 294 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: get our hands closer together, and I want to keep 295 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: drawing to you, so get ready to catch it. And 296 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: and what does Dante pettis showing need these last two weeks? 297 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: He had that touchdown obvious today and you showed it 298 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: a little something last week too. Yeah, I think Dante's 299 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: guys continued within our schemes and system of really having 300 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: some production showing you can get open to make some place. 301 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: So I made another one for us today. I actually 302 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: made a couple of for us today, So I mean 303 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: like he continues to be a player to keep showing improvement. 304 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: That's why we asked from all of our guys
