Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, hold you twenty six, you go
- 0:05Speaker 1: twenty five?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Yeah, as I ask pobulous too. But how far away
- 0:13Speaker 2: do you think you guys are from being the team
- 0:15Speaker 2: you wanna be right now?
- 0:17Speaker 3: I think in in a lot of the games that
- 0:19Speaker 3: we play, we showed spurts of that. I think we're
- 0:23Speaker 3: just uh, we're losing the consistency aspect of uh being
- 0:27Speaker 3: the team that we wanna be. Cause if you turn
- 0:30Speaker 3: on a lot of the games, we are scoring, we're
- 0:32Speaker 3: stopping uh teams and you know our special teams is rolling.
- 0:36Speaker 3: But we just got to do it at a more
- 0:38Speaker 3: consistent basis.
- 0:39Speaker 2: How do you do the too? As a result for that, maybe.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Just going back everything goes back to practice. In my opinion, UH,
- 0:45Speaker 3: if we practice like uh like we're a consistent team
- 0:48Speaker 3: and we hone in and on every detail, I don't
- 0:50Speaker 3: think uh a lot of the details will escape us
- 0:52Speaker 3: or or we'll lose 'em when we uh line up
- 0:54Speaker 3: to play football whate The.
- 0:56Speaker 2: The hope obviously is to get Geno back, But if
- 0:58Speaker 2: Drew were to play again, just how much confidence do
- 1:00Speaker 2: you guys have in him with what you should what.
- 1:02Speaker 1: You softened him?
- 1:03Speaker 3: Uh? I mean that first drive showed us everything we
- 1:06Speaker 3: need to know. He went out there, he executed the
- 1:08Speaker 3: offense the way he needed to be and uh we
- 1:11Speaker 3: scored and put points on the board. And that's all
- 1:13Speaker 3: you can ask a quarterback to do is just execute
- 1:15Speaker 3: the plays that uh you know Shane calls. So he
- 1:18Speaker 3: did that, and you know we had the most confidence
- 1:20Speaker 3: in whoever's out there quarterback.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Were you surprised you do that that step as first
- 1:24Speaker 1: first drive?
- 1:25Speaker 2: No?
- 1:25Speaker 1: Sorry you recovered?
- 1:26Speaker 2: No, H is that the kind of play that.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Well get the ball off quickly? Is why one of
- 1:33Speaker 1: the reasons you guys was so well in the doubtas
- 1:35Speaker 1: that means no longer debout deep play.
- 1:37Speaker 2: How did what's the balance on offensive where of the
- 1:40Speaker 2: deeper shots and in the shorter routes.
- 1:42Speaker 1: And in finding the right mixx that you found? Uh,
- 1:45Speaker 1: I think we have. We just got to execute it better.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And this just goes back to what I said earlier.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Sometimes you know, one guy gets off on a blocking assignment,
- 1:53Speaker 3: or you know one guy messes up on a route
- 1:55Speaker 3: and it just throws everything off, cause you know, all
- 1:57Speaker 3: eleven guys have to work and uh, you know, uh
- 2:00Speaker 3: cohesively together. Uh for every play to work uh successfully
- 2:03Speaker 3: against a defense. So we just all have to be
- 2:06Speaker 3: on the right, on the same page and do all
- 2:08Speaker 3: of our jobs uh the best that we can, and
- 2:11Speaker 3: uh we'll be a very executing offense.
- 2:13Speaker 2: When you when you were an ag ever a team
- 2:15Speaker 2: into Mississippi, did you did you talk about this, like
- 2:17Speaker 2: any somebody, we're both gonna be in the league, pro
- 2:20Speaker 2: Bowl player, you know, a thousand years here or just
- 2:22Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff that's coming frusher.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I mean, just from our our time at Old Miss,
- 2:27Speaker 3: we knew that we were only gonna be there for
- 2:29Speaker 3: X amount of years, and we knew what we had
- 2:31Speaker 3: to do to get there. We just had to work
- 2:32Speaker 3: at at work everybody, and that's just what we did.
- 2:35Speaker 3: You know from day one. Uh, we didn't like each
- 2:37Speaker 3: other coming out of high school cause we always played
- 2:38Speaker 3: each against each other. But then when we got the
- 2:41Speaker 3: Old Miss together, you know, we knew were we were
- 2:43Speaker 3: going to be a tandem uh to be dealt with.
- 2:45Speaker 3: So I mean we I needed him, he needed me,
- 2:48Speaker 3: and you know, we put our differences aside and start
- 2:50Speaker 3: working together.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And what ways did he challenge you the most at
- 2:53Speaker 2: in practice or or meetings in college.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Well, he was always a better route runner than me,
- 2:58Speaker 3: and he always caught the ball all naturally. So that's
- 3:01Speaker 3: something I always tried to, you know, do better than
- 3:03Speaker 3: him or try to. I always admired how he did that,
- 3:06Speaker 3: so U I just tried to you know, copy him
- 3:09Speaker 3: and do everything that uh he did. But you know,
- 3:11Speaker 3: put my own spin on it. But Aj is the
- 3:13Speaker 3: ultimate competitor, one of my good friends, and you know
- 3:16Speaker 3: I definitely would not be and from you all today.
- 3:19Speaker 1: You know if he wasn't my teammates.
- 3:20Speaker 3: So uh, just hass off to him, and you know,
- 3:22Speaker 3: congratulates to everything he's he's done since he's gotten the lead.
- 3:26Speaker 1: He got a big mobus against these guys.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And then maybe that's at rolling that just the coaches
- 3:29Speaker 2: coaches are different or whatever.
- 3:30Speaker 1: But did did you kind of think about that at all?
- 3:33Speaker 3: Uh? No, sir, cause you know, y, every game is different.
- 3:36Speaker 3: So I gotta do it again, uh Monday night when
- 3:38Speaker 3: we play him. So uh, I mean, just gotta continue
- 3:41Speaker 3: to replicate uh the past except for the first time
- 3:44Speaker 3: we played on Landing due too hot there, but uh,
- 3:47Speaker 3: the past two times we played.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Him, Right, you don't expect up in challenge before.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Nah, man, you like drama, don't you?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Uh, Mr Schwartz, we played him already, so
- 4:02Speaker 1: he's good. Yeah. Most most people.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Think, uh, getting to ten wins gets you guys a
- 4:06Speaker 2: good shot making the playoffs? Does this week kind of
- 4:09Speaker 2: represent the start of the playoffs for you guys cause
- 4:11Speaker 2: he kind of have to went out to get to
- 4:12Speaker 2: that spot?
- 4:13Speaker 1: Uh?
- 4:13Speaker 3: I think uh, Ever since we've started uh playing the Rams,
- 4:17Speaker 3: it's been in like that playoff mode, cause teams really
- 4:19Speaker 3: start to hone into who they are, find their identity.
- 4:22Speaker 3: And you know, the the past four or five games
- 4:24Speaker 3: we played have been you know, uh championship playoff contender,
- 4:28Speaker 3: uh type team. So uh, I think every every week
- 4:31Speaker 3: from here on out is gonna be that type of vibe.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Yes, sir, alright weekly uh ASL question, what what did
- 4:36Speaker 2: you sign after the touchdown in San Francisco?
