1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Already see reality of four and twelve. It sucks, Um,

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: no one be four and twelve, But no matter if

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: it was four and twelve, we were eight and eight

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: at the end of we're not going to playoffs. Uh,

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: that's your whole objective of the season, um and all season,

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: that's what you're trained for. Us could people a championship.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: So it sucks, but you know you gotta let to

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: step burn and fill your fire and you know, learn

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: from it and hopefully it helps build us and build

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: character for us to compete next year. How much probably

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: you take it for you set the giant record with

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: a thousand yards in each of your first two seasons. No,

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: I mean nothing filing level four and twelve. It's only

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: hit that mats. We went well in the sixth down play?

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: Why that works? Um? We kind of we were talking

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: about the sideline, me and running backs and all the

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: coaches and um, you know you can see they were

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: kind of setting out early to to south the run

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: and they kept diving themself inside that. I felt that

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: we all felt that if we were still the edge

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: and black and right and get a scene. I said

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: to my job and try to make someone miss and

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: try to take it to the crib and lum, well

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: ever do that? How tough was their defensive front to

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: run again? So it's tough, you know. The other stuff.

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I love going against those guys. Um, you know, it's

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: always fun and it's always were always talking crap to

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: each other out of love and I respect you know,

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: the hell of a team. Um, you know, And I said,

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it's always fun to go and I guess those guys

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: over the tough and each other. And actually, how would

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: you sum up your season just with just pointed any what? Why?

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: What was the most the thing that bothered you the most?

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: We don't make players. I'm not trying. I'm not trying

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: to be like will be short, but that's just what

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: it is. You know, at the end of the day

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: of the map, be four and twelve or not these

38
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: twenty teams, I'm making the playoffs, um, and those twenty teams,

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: we all feel the mission and then there's only gonna

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: be one team and then to win the Super Bowl.

41
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: So those are the thirty one teams, all feel the mission.

42
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Take one obviously, as you know, when things like this

43
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: happen in terms of this mess, and there are consequences

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: in terms of people losing their jobs, what are your thoughts?

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Just give me mean Yeah, I asked me this question. Ready,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I said that I believe in the coaching staff obviously

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: as a result based sport in business. But you can't

48
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: point a treamer on one person. Um, there's a lot

49
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: of things in these games that I could have done better,

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: like this person and that person, and this person that

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: person is good done better. At the end of day,

52
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: it's a team sport. Um, it's a team sport. We

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: all got find a way to win games. But at

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: the end of day, whatever decision does happen, that's above me.

55
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't get paid for that. My mind sets is

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: come here and every single day and work and try

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: to get better. Like this team has played off each other.

58
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: The offense plays off defense and success defense plays off

59
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: offensive success. How much is that kind of speak how

60
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: this group has been I would disagree. I would think

61
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Uh you know, I think that's where

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: we got to be better next year or whenever, because

63
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: the football starts again for us. We gotta play complimentary

64
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: football and that's not that's what we hadn't been doing

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: this year. Uh. You know, the cop going to what

66
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: you're saying with the energy and how we are the

67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: team and but you know, the friendships that we have

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: is you know, it's amazing. You know, we're all respect

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: one another, we all hang out outside of football. We

70
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: have that we have that we have that mindset. But UM,

71
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: comple learning football something that we haven't been doing well

72
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: this year. Special teams playing here often playing here, defense

73
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: playing here, rice versa and vice versa and rice porsa.

74
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, when we went at the teams are in

75
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: playoffs and or that going to be competing in the playoffs,

76
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I would say, they do that really well. Um, And

77
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: that's what we didn't do, in my opinion. While all

78
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: this season frustrating and like this, uh, definitely frustrating. Um,

79
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter how how it ended. Uh. You know,

80
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: no matter if we lost, we won, I was gonna

81
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you the same thing. Um, Yes,

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: it would have felt better to go to win, finishing

83
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: season off strong. That's what the mindset. That was the goal.

84
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. We're not going to

85
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: playoffs no matter what. There's something that we could have

86
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: did to change that. Um. The only thing we were

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: able to do with finish teason off strong and spoil

88
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: someone else's playoffs shops, and um, we weren't able to

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: do that. So no matter what, I don't care if

90
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: it was nine and seven, don't care it was one

91
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: of fifteen. We didn't make the playoffs. So at the

92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's gonna be a frustrating this

93
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: point in season. Yeah, we're just seeing the cooling Daniel

94
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Jones player. He's a couple of player. He's gonna be

95
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Um. Uh,

96
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: that's that's a fact. Um. I know that for sure,

97
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: not just because it's talent, he's very talented, but putting

98
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: his talent aside his work ethic, the way he comes

99
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: to work when the last people and one of the

100
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: first people went, when the last people to leave, you

101
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: can see how passionate, how how much you actually cared

102
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: about this sport. He's rare. He's very rare. Um, he's

103
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna be very special one. Um. You know, for all

104
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: the ones that doubted him or didn't think he was

105
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: the right draft pick, Um, it doesn't even matter because

106
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: you're not going to go prove that to you guys,

107
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: But you guys will see it and I think you

108
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400

119
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: my game to another level. Um, just seeing it feel differently,

120
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,880

121
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: ups and down. You know you respect that. I'm not

122
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,680

00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: man also. So um real thankful to having a lot

126
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: for sure we're talking to all season. Do you just

127
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: think this team, you know, even though there's many games,

128
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: who was last year, it is building something and if so,

129
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: will that building be interrupted if it's a home coaching people.

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: That's a great question. That's a great question. Um. Yes,

131
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: I do think, um, that we have something here. I

132
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: don't think I know that we have something special here.

133
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: And you know, we just got to continue to stick

134
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: to the process and continue believing to it. But um,

135
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff or whatever, I really said what

136
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I had to say. I believe in those guys. I've

137
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: expect those guys. Um, they have turned me to a

138
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: better player. Um. But you know that that decisions above me.

139
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: So UM, this gotta continue to come to work every

140
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: single day. UM, and that's all we can do as players.

141
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: Have you talked to guys in the league who had

142
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, league a little bit, we had coaching changes

143
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: and things like because that's not that's not our focus.

144
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Our focus is not whether we're gett a new coach

145
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: or now or we all like we all have you

146
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: heard me say, you're DJ say everyone has talked to

147
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: her to say that we believe in the coaches. After
