1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: How much work was it for you to just get

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: yourself physically rady for this game?

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: Bruh, It's sh like, right when I figured out it

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: wasn't the the same thing as the Browns game, it

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: was kind of a relief cause then though it wasn't

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: a fracture, it was just like a deep bruise or whatever.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about timeless hours in here to day

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: end and day. I'll just to get where we at

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: right now.

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: How come you seem pretty good spirits all week Long's

11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: had a reflection of your confidence that you probably.

12
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Be Oh, yeah, for sure, we got all the confidence

13
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: in the world.

14
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: And you know, I wanna give credit to our you know,

15
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: our physical therapies in there being uh little and Doney

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: Hue for you know, just getting me right where we

17
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: need to be.

18
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: You explain what kind of pain you were dealing with

19
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: and then how it maybe subsided as the week's going on.

20
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: At the time, it was hurting, like really bad.

21
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: I was kind of scared a little bit, like I

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: thought I had fractured it again.

23
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: And I was just all over the place.

24
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: Then, you know, in a big game like that, like

25
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: I had uh like millions emotions on the sideline, trying

26
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: to kind of holding together for my team, and you know,

27
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: just to see them get the dub and stuff. I

28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean that was kind of relief as well, just

29
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: to know I have an extra week just to figure

30
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: out what was going on. And we went and got

31
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: an MRI and everything showed up negative and it was

32
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: just a deep bruise and it was kind of painful

33
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: at the time, but that's the week on. You know,

34
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: like I just said, them doing a good job getting

35
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: all the pain away, getting all my motion and strength back,

36
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: and I I feel like they did our standing job.

37
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: You play as physically as you do, but still trying

38
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: to protect yourself. I ain't protecting nothing. Uh what does

39
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: it say about your team and the way they were

40
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: able to come back.

41
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: In your obsence?

42
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Oh?

43
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: That was that was amazing with how the game was going.

44
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: You know, every game has its ups and downs. And

45
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: you know, you got all the nacers about Brock this,

46
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: rock dead, this, that and the third. But when brock

47
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: Besch was needed, he went out there and capitalized on

48
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: the long drive. You know, the receiver's going out there

49
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: and making plays kidled from Christian and you know it

50
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: all started for the old line and they just went

51
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: out there and did what they.

52
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Was supposed to do. What do you respect about the Lions? Said? Again,

53
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: respect about the Lions.

54
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: They're winning, they playing good ball, and you know they

55
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: made it this far, so obviously they're a good team.

56
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: But you know, everything gotta run through Levi's I mean,

57
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: I can answer two questions at one time.

58
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: You you've been on the state so many times that

59
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: as a championship game, how important is it for you

60
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: to to break through?

61
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: And and how much of that play a factor?

62
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: There's like I gotta get back from this one.

63
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, a game like this, you know, like gotta put

64
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: everything on the line.

65
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: Cause if we've been here for out of the last

66
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: five years and uh three years we fell short and

67
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: then one year we fell short of Super Bowl, it's

68
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: kind of like what is it gonna take?

69
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: You know?

70
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: And I feel like we got all all the things

71
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: that we need and in this building from from Jed

72
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: John to Cale to all the players, so feel like

73
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: it's all hands on deck and we know it's his stake.

74
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: Did you learn anything from Rock on Saturday Night?

75
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: Not really, cause I I mean I've been around him

76
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: for two years now for like forever. But I mean

77
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: he's never like uptight or you know, the the moment

78
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: is never too.

79
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: Big for him. He's always poised cool.

80
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Even though I wasn't in a huddle, like I can

81
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: see it, and I can see like how the guys

82
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: are reacting to what the things he's saying. But you

83
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: know what, Rock being the commander of the huddle, like

84
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: you have no choice but listening just fall his lead,

85
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: and he went out there and did a great job.

86
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: You well, what's more stressful being on the field when

87
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: the game is on the line or being on the

88
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: sideline watching?

89
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Nah, Being on the sideline was that was different cause

90
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: it's like you can't do like, like nothing you can

91
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: do besides encourage your teammates and just try to give

92
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: him all the energy and all the everything they need

93
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: to win.

94
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: So I f I think it's more stressful just standing

95
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: there watching. For sure, you really know your emotions.

96
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: When you got a guy like Chauncy Gardner Johnson who

97
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: you guys got that back and forth on social media, I.

98
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Didn't no mind, man, You just gotta come in here

99
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: and strive it up.

100
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: You said about Jawan Jennings' contribution when you went out

101
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: he came and made big catches, he walked the.

102
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Guy to the gatorade.

103
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: That's just that's just what we see from Juwan, like

104
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: day in and day out, like throughout camp. And you know,

105
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: it's only a matter of time. You know, we call

106
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: it third in Juwan, you know, every like most of

107
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: the time we going to Juwan on third down. But

108
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean I wasn't shocked at all with the plays

109
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: that he made and the things that he's capable of doing.

110
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: Cause I mean I could go back to college when

111
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: we played him. When I was in college, we played

112
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: him every year, and like just seeing how he developed

113
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: from now, I mean from then and now, it's just amazing.

114
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: Well, what hell's different about this NFC Championship run versus

115
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the other three you've been a part of him.

116
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Uh kind of feel different cause we got home fiel advantage.

117
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: You know, twenty nineteen we had the home field advantage,

118
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: we won and twenty one twenty two were on the road,

119
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 2: backs against the wall, and I mean it's still against

120
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: the wall right now, cause you know, we we got

121
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: a great team coming in and just gotta be prepared

122
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: for everything.

123
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: Just hopefully we come out on the top. What is

124
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: the of the game.

125
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: Uh do what we've been doing all year long, sustained

126
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: drives and I turned the ball over converting on third down.

127
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: You know, defense being on our defense for us, like

128
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: being physical and then going out there and getting turnover?

129
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: Was does it feel different because you might have missed

130
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: it because of the injury.

131
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: And now you want you said, Mike not missing it? Uh?

132
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: One of the combine Over the last couple years a year,

133
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: a lot of players said that they modeled their game

134
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: after you and just the way you play and the

135
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: bully they do. You kind of see a little bit

136
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: of yourself and in Alman Ross, Saint Brown and maybe

137
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: how you've impacted that next generation of receivers.

138
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: Honestly, like no offense to h my Sam Brown.

139
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: He's a great player, but we don't too much as

140
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: an offensive player, we don't we really pay pay too

141
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: much about the other offense. It's all about what we

142
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: can do and how we gonna attack. They defenses like

143
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: they planning on a attacking ours. That's good.

144
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. You don't rock uh a or

145
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: right now
