  Speaker 1: It's at good yet you're doing good.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You do all right? Think was that the best game
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: you've seen from Jackson? So Park's suspect.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I mean yes, their game wise, yes, sir, But like
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I said, I mean he's been doing that in practice
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: ever since he's gotten here. So just really waiting on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: him to you know, really blossom and just show who
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he really is out there on the field. The final
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: numbers were not in the offensive favor, but what encouraged
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you during the game. And I'm kind of thinking about
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the first drive and how many different books do you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: guys showed, I mean just us not you know, attacking
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: ourselves or beating our selves or shooting ourselves in the foot.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: When we you know, get on drives and when the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: defense plays that well is just just try to compliment
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: them so you know they're not always you know, out
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: there on the field and trying to force the three
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and out when we can't put points on the board.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So I mean, it's just a team game that you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: all three aspects of the game have to play together.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: On the opening drive, I don't know that you use
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the same look twice.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It's fun to watch from the sidelines. What kind of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: field does that have on the field. Uh, I mean
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it's a first drive, so we're just trying to Uh,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: everybody tries to break tendencies, uh, you know in the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: first drive. So after the first drive is really just
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: settling into our own and just you know, taking what
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the defense gives us, but also attacking them at the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: same time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: What have you made out of this Arizona team through
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: six weeks seeing what they are in our new head
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: coach and what they're gonna bring.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Those table this weekend. Well, they show a lot of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: different looks as well, and they try to you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: have a they have a v a variety of packages
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that they throw at you. But they play hard. I mean,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a new head coach and you know
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they're still trying to establish themselves as a as a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: team and try to find their identity. So I think
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they just play hard. And it shows up on filmed
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the penalty.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Board at list Guys Technology, they said that you're trying
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of up towards the top of that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: How much does that bother.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: You or is that just kind of the the.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Nature the game goes And sometime.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: He intensity gets in the way.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was just a board to me.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna change the way I play.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the penalties, there's a taunting,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness, face mask holding, and I think it was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one more in there. So I mean, I'm I'm doing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: pretty good if I look at it and judge myself,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know, on how I play and just try to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: be consistent and you know, half clean hands or whatever
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the case may be. But you know, I'm not gonna
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: change who I am as a as a player or
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a person, any of the personal.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: A case of you're momentarily losing not control, but just
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like getting caught up in the moments too much.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Have you had a bad deal of work? Sometimes? All right?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So that's all I kneeled it down to nobody's perfect.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm my own person, Like I just said, I'm a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: competitive person. So I'm not gonna shy away from because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he put a penalty board on the screen. I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna continue to be me.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Said, She'll tell you about the sort of the whistle
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: issue with you not being able to hear at field.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I just asked him to blow his whistle. He said,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'll try my best and that was it. You got
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your pressed on this, but you said for like going
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: or in the team one people champions problem.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like you've mad progress in that area
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: support for Stone.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna leave that up to everybody else. I mean,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like that was a problem or I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: need to make progress in a certain area. Football is
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a violent sport and it's my one opportunity to be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: violent on game day. So I'm just gonna continue to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: do that. How much do you think your reputation precedes
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you were efficiently at this point? I mean, every time
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: we before a game, it's always, hey, let's try to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: play a clean game today. And I was like, yes, sir,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: good luck, good luck doing that. Let's try to make
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: all the right calls as well. So nobody's perfect, so
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just continue to put it behind me and continue to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: play football. Good coming to you to say that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: H No.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I mean the way the warm ups are set up,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I jog up and down the sideline, so I have
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to cross a couple of them. Are not again they
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: see you specifically? It's not just start telling every player.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean I don't look at every
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: other player. Yeah, in that regards. I guess, uh no,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't thought about it that way. They're just going
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: off what they see on film, and I gotta respect it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You and you and gudda banker are always kind of
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: gonna be linked because of that one play.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But playing each other twice here or just other connections,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have you got to know him at all a little bit? Yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: because he's from up here, so we work out with
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the same trainer every now and again. So yea, I've
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: got to build a relationship with him. He made me
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: back this week. Is he got you enjoyed compete against Justin?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I mean just watching him on film, He's always going hard.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He's never a guy that takes a playoff, So I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: mean that's very inspirational once you get to go against
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a guy like that to try to outwork him in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a sense. So that's something I look forward to every
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: time you know he's on the field. What did you see?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I guess in your guys just spread zone issues on Sunday.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: We just got to finish the drives. I know, we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: threw a pick in one one scenario and then right
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: before the pick it was a penalty. So I mean,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: just being clean with you know our hands and keys,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, just finishing drives in the end zone
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and not letting the defense, uh, you know, dictate us
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or hold us to three points, jack of the two
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: or nice catches. He's obviously been really involved in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: blocking in the run game as well.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Just what if you thought he doesn't get a ton
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of stats with the way he's taking advantage of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: opportunity gets.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like you said, man, when he goes
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in there, he goes hard and he plays hard, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know, he knows his job, you know, to a tee,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: whether they throw you know, one look he's seen that practice,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: or if they never thrown the I mean they throw
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a look at him that he's never seen. He's always
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be on his point. And I mean, j he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just a great football player in my opinion. So he's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: just taking the advantage of the ress that you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: he's been given in the game. So hopefully that that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: starts to increase.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Going back to the red zone thing you just mentioned,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you said, not let the defense dictate us. What do
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you mean by that?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We call plays, we gotta finish, uh execute him. Uh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: if the first reason not open, go to the second aide.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, the defense can't cover all eleven people
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that's on the field, So we got just got to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: make the quarterback right and make the OC right. DK.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: What what's the successful is the offense that's been putting
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: points up on the board. Knowing how bad you've been
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on third down up to this point, do you look
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: at it and be like, if we can just get
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: going right here, like we can be really explosive. How
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: how do you kind of read with where you guys
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: are at on that? Uh?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I mean just there's always something to improve on and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: third downs are is just something that you know sticks
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: out like a sore thumb, you know in this offense
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: with as many points as we put up in uh,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you know our red zone issues is another thing that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that sticks out. So if we you know, correct those
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: two things, who knows how good this offense can be
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with you know how many explosive players we can already
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you know, generate from the players we already have. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: just like I said, man, just eliminade mistakes and you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: who knows how far this offense can go?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Ye?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Else?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks good? Yeah, thank you
