1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce head coach, at least the interim head coach.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 2: What do you think ap Is? Uh, he's considered the best,

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: one of the best leaders to ever done a New

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: York Giants uniform. Now I didn't get to play with him.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: I just got to meet him in passing kind of

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: when I was first drafted here. But just hearing the

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: stories of what type of man he is. The Raiders,

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: the Raiders they found I found a great guy to

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: lead that team. There's a reason they promoted the linebacker

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: coach over at DC and I think they fired the

11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator today. But obviously ap Is is that kind

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: of guy.

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: When you're going in to take on a team that

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: made changes like this, do you expect to see a

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: fired up ball club when you get to Las Vegas.

16
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll be fired up and then there'll be a

17
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: lot of energy there. You know, we won't know what

18
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: to expect. I know it happened when I was here.

19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: You know, when when we was coach mccandew got fired midseason,

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: inspect Nolah came in. There's there's definitely an energy guys

21
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: when to impress the new staff and everyone's everyone feels

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: like your job's in the line, so it's it's uh,

23
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: it's definitely something that you have to look forward.

24
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Tom under pressure a little bit because you know, everybody

25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: expecting years, you know all.

26
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, there's a there's an expectation,

27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: like all of a sudden. No, these guys, I'm laughing

28
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: because of this, right here's got to be a professional. Yeah,

29
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: it's working. They have a lot more time for him there.

30
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: Any element of pressure is added. I mean there's always

31
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: pressure on. We're going to better play a game, and

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: if we don't do our job, we're not going to

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: have jobs either. So it's like the pressure is always

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: on no matter what. Now is there more pressure? I mean,

35
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: they're still a football team. They're three and five right now.

36
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: They have one more win than us, So the pressure's

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: on us to go win a football game in a

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: hostile environment in Vegas. The fans are gonna be all

39
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 2: jacked up. They've been calling for the coaches head all seasons,

40
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: so now they're gonna be all geared up too. So

41
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: the pressure has always been on us and it will

42
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: be until we start winning these games.

43
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: You're looking forward to play with Daniel Jones.

44
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Yes, what do you expect, you know, just today getting

45
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: in practice and have him get in the huddle and

46
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: his command of the huddle, command of the offense, it's unbelievable.

47
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, he knows it inside and out. And so

48
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: you know, we just operated at a high level. And

49
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: say we didn't with tie Rode either. We were doing

50
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: some great things too. But it's good to get everyone

51
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: that was supposed to be the starters going into the

52
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: season out there and hopefully we get some of the

53
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: offensive lineman back and then you know, start rolling. You

54
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: don't see many defensive ends or edge rushers playing ninety

55
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: seven percent of their team's defensive snaps like Macco backs Crosby.

56
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: What what makes him different? Kind of deal with him?

57
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: He's out of his mind. We played him last year

58
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: the last full game I play when we had that

59
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray run around for forty five seconds. We came

60
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: back and beat them. Max. I would be I was

61
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: playing left guard at the time, and all of a sudden, i'd,

62
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: you know, play would end and he'd be all the

63
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: way on the other side of the field and I'm like,

64
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: where are you coming from? And he just is relentless

65
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: with his effort. It's just you know, he's he's gonna

66
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: make plays. He's a great player. There's a reason he

67
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: is where he is. He's got to keep throwing bodies

68
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: at him, keep getting after him, match his intensity, and

69
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: never never let that down.

70
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: If I say to you, you're two and six and

71
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: clearly out of the playoff picture right now, what's your response.

72
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: We're two games out right, I would just that's the counter.

73
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter whatever your record is. We still

74
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: you're playing. Every guy in here has a why as

75
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: to why he's playing. You's got to dig down deep

76
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: and go fight for that because if we don't go

77
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: out there and fight and win games, we're all gonna

78
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: be looking for jobs too. And I've seen that having

79
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: time and time again. So the pressure is, go fight

80
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: for your job, Go fight for your livelihood, Go fight

81
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: for the fans. Like we had to win games, Like

82
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: everything's still in front of us. We go start rolling

83
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: off some wins. It'll change a conversation
