1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Just overall thoughts winning the FC South.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very proud of this group, the resilience, resiliency

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: of this group, the mental toughness of this group. You know,

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: obviously started a little bit hot and ways and then

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: had a tough stretch and you're up twenty and in

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and end up losing a game, and

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: then to turn this thing around and for these guys

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: to stay the course, keep allowing us to keep coaching.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: They're a fun, special group to be around.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Why was it important today for Trevor to get to

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: the four thousands? Seemed like you guys pulled them right

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: after that.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think just the year that he's had, especially

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: since the buye, the way that he's playing at an

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: MVP caliber. He's earned it. He's playing at such a

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: high level. The players all love them, they trust them,

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: they believe in them, as do we his coaches, and

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: so you want those kind of things for players like that.

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: Liam, How happy were you with the response from this club?

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 4: You go three and out, they get the ball, they

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: come down, score a touchdown, but then you guys blow.

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: Them out of the Yeah, you know, it wasn't an

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: ideal start by any means, you know, Simmons kind of

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Simmons does early on and made a great play. We

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: went backwards on the first drive, which was an ideal,

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: and they obviously had a good drive that they put

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: together on us with a critical third down conversion. And then,

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: you know, it's just the maturity of this team. I think,

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: you know, nobody flinched, nobody blink. They just kind of

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: kept doing their job, one play at a time. We

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: talked about championship execution throughout the entire game, and I

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: think after that you saw.

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 5: That Liam, you and Tony and even James, you know,

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 5: exchanged a hug there at the end. The validation of

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 5: I get that all the goals are really in front

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 5: of you, but the validation of winning a division title

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 5: in year one and thirteen wins do all these things

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: that this franchise has never done. What does that mean

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: for you in that locker room.

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, Tony and James and I are

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's a pretty cool relationship. It's it's obviously

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: goes beyond just a working friendship, and I can't thank

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: them enough for their support and we truly do it

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 2: all together. That's the cool part. Like everything that we do,

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: every decision that we make is together, is a group effort.

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: And just to be to have Tony, to have James

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: and their roles and how you know, the continuity that

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: we have. I think the players feel it. I think

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: the guys in the in the locker room all believe

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: that we're on the same page and that the amount

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: of time that that we put into these guys, the

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: amount of energy that gets put into these guys. Tony

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: says it all the time, it's all about the grass.

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: It's all about the grass, and it's all about these

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: players and trying to make their lives as as as

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: nice as good as possible. Is continuing to elevate and

57
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: raise the standard. And I think those guys are.

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: All in Coach, how much of what you've seen throughout

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: the course of this season and what we've seen kind

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: of mirrors or matches what you would vision when you

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: were first draining the facilities here fifty or so weeks ago.

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: It's been a hell of a turn around, obviously.

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's you know, I mean, you never

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: know going into a season what it's going to truly

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: look like, right, because every year is so much of

66
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: its own entity, and you know, you're only trying to

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: focus so singularly on getting better each week and improving

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: and not trying to live in the results. And I

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: think that that's something that we've excuse me, tried to

70
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: do since we got here, was really focused on the

71
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: process of you know, phase one, Phase two, phase three,

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: OTA's training camp and just live in those moments, which

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: is I think what allows you to now enjoy these

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: kind of moments to where you win thirteen games. You

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: know a lot of records and stuff that are really

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: cool for these guys, both individually and collectively as a team.

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: To win the division in year one for sure, very special,

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: but a lot of work to do still.

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: You've talked about on a week to week basis, how

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: you know, arguably the most impressive part of this group

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: is when there was some early downs who overcame adversity.

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: Now this eight game win streak where they haven't necessarily

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: gone overboard as far as being positive, How do things

84
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: change or do they at all? Now it's win or

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: go home?

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of been how

87
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: we've been playing in a lot of ways, in the

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: way that we've been approaching each week has been almost

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: playoff mentality for a while now. We haven't talked about playoffs,

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: but I think that they understand the severity of what's

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: at stake and where we're at, and that truly it's

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: win or go home at this point, and they've taken

93
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: it so, like we talked about last night, today is

94
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: the biggest game of franchise history because it's the next one.

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: That's it, because it's the next one. And that's been

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: the mindset of mentality of this group. They've stayed even killed,

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: and I think that, yeah, there's confidence. This team has confidence,

98
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: but they're not overlooking anybody, and they know that whoever comes,

99
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: he has to play us.

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Just in terms of how much a crowd can affect,

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Operation Pass Rush all that, How important

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: is it to have a home playoff game.

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: It's huge, you know. I've seen so many cool pictures

104
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: of the twenty two game here at home and what

105
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: that crowd did and what the community can do for

106
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: a football team, and what a football team can do

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: for a community. And I think that the majority of

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: these guys like they all want to play, they all

109
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: want to play the whole team. They want to play

110
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: in front of this crowd. I remember hearing Brenton Strange's

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: comments a couple of weeks ago about, Yeah, it's cool

112
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: to go on the road and play in some cool atmospheres,

113
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: but there's nothing like playing at home in front of

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: this crowd, in front of this community. So we need

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: them all, We need all to do all to come out.

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Hayley, im just ah. Antonio Johnson picked six. It seems

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: like he's able to do so many different things for

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: you guys, whether he's a backup or starter, what does

119
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: he meant to this team and set.

120
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: We were talking about him before the game, actually, Tony

121
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: and James and I were talking about Antonio's just his

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: growth since we got here and how much he has

123
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: continued to grow as a person, as a player, as

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: a pro and man. Every every week, it just seems

125
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: like he's making a big play for us and stepping

126
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: up in critical moments. And you would say, I mean

127
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: that play really kind of took this game into a

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: different direction, and so I really am proud of Antonio

129
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: in the way that he's continued to grow. Mm hmm

130
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: all good, Yeah, thank you. Thanks
