1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Ted, can you hear me? Okay, yes, can you hear me? Mike?

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: I got you loud and clear. Good to talk with you, absolutely.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: How are you great? Are you doing good? Good holiday?

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Great holiday? How about for you glad to hear it? Yeah? Great?

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Here as well, awesome. Had a couple of football ones

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: for you here. The screen pass seemed like you guys

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: were pretty effective with that in the game yesterday. What

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: from your perspective, makes for a good, you know screen play?

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think earlier in the year, with changing

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the rule on cutblocks down field, we had to adjust

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of little details, and our coaches

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: do a great job of, you know, prepping everyone for

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: their specific role on a screen and you know, we've

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: been able to go out and execute it and we've

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: been practicing it well, and you know, very very happy

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: that's been showing up a production wise in games. And

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: for the running backs, obviously you're not seeing them when

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: they run because you're blocking for him in front of them.

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: But with Damien and Romandre is in that some more

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: of the traditional running back role, not including Brandon coming

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: in in the passing situations. When you rewatch the tape,

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: like what do you see from these two guys, Damien

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: and Romandra sort of teaming up there and creating a

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: little bit of positive momentum for you guys. Absolutely, I

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: think they're both playing great. I think they're both bring

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the production to our team. And I

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: think just the way they've been playing is emblematic of

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the way this whole entire team has been playing, you know,

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: with great effort, attention to detail, and you know, executing

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: when your numbers called, and you know we all strive

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: to do that, and you know, those two have been

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: been a big part of why we've had recent success.

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Next question, Zach Coox. How's it going? Ted great? How

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: you doing? Zach? Not too bad? We were talking to

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Matt Judon a couple of weeks back, and he, unprompted,

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: said that europe player who really exemplifies the kind of

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: physicality that that the team wants to play with. Uh

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: two part or one? How much pride do you guys

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: take in and being a physical team, especially upfront and

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: to what's it like to practice against and share a

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: locker room with Jude On It seems like a quite

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the character. Well, that was very nice of Matt to

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: say that. Um, he's been a great teammate and someone

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm very you know, I got to know over the

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: past you know, a few months, and um, you know

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: really really have enjoyed our time, you know as teammates. Um,

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: and you know, we do want to be physical. I

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: think I'm just doing what I've been trained to do.

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I go out there. I've you know, been very lucky

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: to be in this program for a long time and

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: uh kind of was trained and raised in this program

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: and playing the way that you know, they want alignment,

53
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: they want us to play. And you know we've had success,

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: but we have to keep working. And you know, we

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: got a big, big challenge ahead of us here on

56
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Monday night. Um, you know, for for for a lot

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: of stakes. Well, next question, Nicole Yang, Sorry Hi Ted.

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: With this week being my cause my cleats, I was

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: wondering if you could tell us why you chose the

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Village of Murci and just a little bit more about

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: that organization and what it means to you. Yes. So,

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: the Village of Murci was founded by one of my

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: best friends mothers and it is the only facility in

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Indiana that provides independent living for adults with developmental disabilities,

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: So the public education system ends at eighteen for people

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: with autism, down syndrome and any other developmental disability. And

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: the village provides a place with independent living. It's their

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: own apartment, their own furniture, there's a great employment rate,

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: and it allows for them to live, you know, a

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: normal life, an independent life, and you know, pursue what

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: they want to pursue, just like the rest of us.

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Does your friend's mom know that you'll be repping the

73
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: organization on your cleats on Monday? I was gonna a

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: surprise her on Instagram. We have the pictures from the cleats. Um.

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: They came out awesome, and you know, I'm really excited,

76
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: you know, I we try to do an event every year,

77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: um for the village. I stopped by there once or

78
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: twice a year, but obviously COVID has been been a

79
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: factor against events. So I'm really excited that, you know,

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: finally we get to do my cause, my cleats for

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the village in Maricci. Thanks ed, Thank you. Any other questions?

82
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Can I jump in with one more? All right? So

83
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: to just the season, you know the way it started

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: for you sort of like biding your time, right and

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: then you've sort of been been in there, and I

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: think through your performance you've stayed in there. Um, how

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: would you describe what this season has been like for you?

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Just given that flow, I guess if I'm looking for

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: a better word of the way it's unfolded for you. Well,

90
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: just like any season, Um, you know, roles can shift

91
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: and adapt, and you know, opportunities arise, and I've been

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: fortunate to you know, perform solidly. Um, you know in

93
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: the in the opportunity that I got, and UM, you know,

94
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm just really what I come in try to do

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: every day is you know, whatever role they want me

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: as to do my best and you know, just try

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: to be a productive member of this team. And um,

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think everyone kind of has that same mentality.

99
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: So it's been a lot of fun so far this season,

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: and it's really exciting that coming down the stretch here

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: we have a lot of big games. This is exactly

102
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of games you want to be

103
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: in in December and m Monday Night in Buffalo is

104
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: certainly going to be a great challenge. But where you

105
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: want to be if you love football and I know

106
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: you're you're putting this last one behind you and moving

107
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: ahead here to but just watching myself watching it over today,

108
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I would by how physical it seemed to be in

109
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: the trenches. Um, you probably not. I don't know, do

110
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: you like was that the most physical game? Or was

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: that a thought maybe that you had coming out of there? Yeah?

112
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, they have you know, they had

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: a lot of great players up front. They're a physical

114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: team as well, kind of a similar style as as us.

115
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: Obviously with coach Frabel being from here and um, you know,

116
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: obviously we didn't up to win. There was a lot

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: of things that you know, going over the film today

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: that you know, we can improve on moving forward, but

119
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: definitely was great to get to win and now, you know,

120
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: set ourselves up. It's going to be another physical game

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: against a great defense and a great program up there

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Did I see you down there in the

123
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: end zone with Damien and Mac there at the end

124
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, Yeah, you did. I well, two steps,

125
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: but just more of like a victory relief dance. So

126
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: just excited, excited for our guys and everyone's been you know,

127
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: so great. You know, as teammates this season, we all

128
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, rooting for each other and you know, sharing

129
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: the success has been a lot of fun. So I

130
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: would be accurate to call that the two step. That's

131
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: what you can call it. Everyone did it was my

132
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: my my friends and family were all over me for that.

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: So but yeah, I was definitely, I was definitely excited.

134
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, that was kind of putting it away and

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: we knew that, you know, the bulk of the work

136
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: was done, so it was very happy relief. Ted, thanks

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: for the time as always, Thank you guys. Thanks Ted.

138
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: We'll wrap it up there. Thanks to all right, thank

139
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: you
