• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with the tract people work out in yours as parsasst time.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you about your assistance here? What
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you doing? Was you got this year? Just being able
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to to play for fifteen games this year and reach
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that mark, uh was it is just a blessing. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it's not just a personal goal, cause it takes ten
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: other people out there on the field. So UH just
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: shout out to the old line, cause I know there
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was a ton of guys who've been rotating this year. Uh,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Drew Gino for being you know, stepping in the role
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and just being a great quarterback uh this year, Uh
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: for this offense, and you know Shane, Sanjay, Andy, Chad,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: all the running backs who who stayed in helped uh
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with protection and the running backs for you know, getting
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the tough yards when we need 'em so we could
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball. So it's just uh
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: uh a team accomplishment and not just a individual goal. Uh.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The way I look at it, he thought of relationships.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Why is just his consistency of not just letting me
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: uh just be you know, an average person or average
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: receiver or just uh just letting me settle with uh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know what I've done so far. He's always pushed
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: me every day. He always takes care of me, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: when I need an extra breathe or break, or anytime
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm frustrated, uh on the sideline. He's always somebody that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, talks to me or calms me down or
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: tells me, uh, you know, the next play, or to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: keep my head up or stay in the game. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he's just been, you know, more than a coach, uh
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: for me, a great friend off the field. So he's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just been a overall just a great person just to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have in my life these past few years. What do
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you be good or how do you feel about being
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in positions need to win and help? I mean there's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: just the the uh bed we lay for ourselves. Excuse me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: We gotta finish the season off strong, and like you said, man,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we need help just to get in the playoffs. But uh,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, once you get in this position, you just
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: start looking back all the games that you know you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: should have won or the plays that you should have made,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and then you know the the plays that you should
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have made. Just start to catch up with you. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it all just goes back to just being consistent and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just being uh, you know, the the same executing offense
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that you were. You know these past couple of weeks
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that we were we've been so uh it just gives
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: us something for to look up look forward to next year.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, just finishing strong this year is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: something that we have to do. See, they more of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a challenge this week, and you just kind of sight
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: what happened Sunday. Obviously it was a display loss. No,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I mean it's still a competition. Wednesday, we still gotta
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: come in here and go to work. We still got
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a game to play on Sunday, So just getting ready
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for the Cardinals and uh let the chips fall where
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they may after the game at all. No, uh, he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, even after the little gauntlet that we want
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and through uh, even during those games, the the messages
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: has still been the same. Always coming here, Uh Monday,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: tell the truth, Wednesday, come compete, Uh, turn over Thursday,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and then you either travel on Friday or you're playing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a home game. So now the the message has been
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: consistent this whole whole year. You look at the Arizona
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: out Buddha Baker is everywhere on the field. They got
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a young cornerback uh number twenty four. Their back end
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is solid, and they they played tough and they're they're
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: hard uh defense. And then on top of that, their
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: offense is uh rolling. Uh. They they have a tough
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: run run game, have some playmakers, explosive playmakers on their
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. But I think it's gonna
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: be a a good challenge for us heading into the playoffs.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's not of the plays that weren't made in those
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and what ways they those poss whether it's go to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just the feeling when you look back. I mean, it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: just you just look at those plays and you you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: start to think of, you know, the offense that we
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: could have been or the team that we could have been.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And I think the only positive light you can take
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: out of that is that we do have the players,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: we do have the make up, we do have the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: DNA to be you know, a great football team. We
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: just have to start coming together and putting it together
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to get what you uh, execution uh being consistent and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: then executing the players that they're called and not you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: getting in our own way of trying to do too
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: much or trying to uh you know, ba having bad
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: eyes or running the wrong route and on on my
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: part on some occasions, but just being consistent and being
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the executing offense that we know we can we can be.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Even at practice. You saw Jocks and finding the zone
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: again on Sundays. Where have you seen him grow the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: most from starting out this season? Well, just in first
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: off learning the plays and the offense, and after you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: got that downpacked, he really just started to become who
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: he is now and who y'all see, and that's an
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: explosive play maker and the wide receiver position. Who can
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know, run the fade ball or run a slant
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on catch for third on a third down, or run
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a basic for a third and ten plus. But he's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just been a very clutch player that you know, y'all
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: saw in college and now you know you get seeing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: here on Sundays. We've seen whatever it seems like whenever
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he makes a play, spoons like the first guy coming
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: off to greet him. Same thing the other ways. It's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: kind of cool to see the lapwond those two right, yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: well right after they got drafted. Those were the first
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: two people, you know, I saw my first day back
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up here in the building, and we were just sitting
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in Moe's office and they were sitting right beside each
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: other talking, and even during the training camp, they're always
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: battling with each other. So I think they've just built
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the bond that's gonna carry them, you know, throughout the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: next few years of their career, I know, in this building,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: but they're always competing and they're always genuinely happy for
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: each other cause, you know, they were the two first
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: round draft picks that we picked this year, and I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be great players in this league, as
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: y'all have seen, you know them do this year. Alright,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: thank you,
