• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Really really happy with the guys.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: The way those guys performed, I thought, you know, they
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: they did a phenomenal job. Uh, looking back up the tape,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like, uh, when you when you watch the film,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: you see all eleven guys, you know, playing connected, really
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: just executing the GA game plan.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: When you have uh as much depth as we have,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and you got a bunch of guys who are capable,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you see guys stepping up and making plays. And so
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I was really happy for those guys, you know, I
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I I had a great feeling about it, and it
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: was just good to see it happen on Sunday. How
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: were the Panthers creating so much with their their pass
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: rush and and just their their front seven and front form. Yeah,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I think their their defense is really you know, led
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: by that front front seven and uh when you talk
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: about their guys, a bunch of really talented first rounders. Uh,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: you talk about Brian Burns on the edge too, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal pass rusher.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Uh. You got Derek Brown, you know, real stout guy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in the middle.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You know, he plugs up all the holes in there
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and he makes it tough in the run game and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the passing game. And then a guy who you know
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: is really showing up and has shown up uh the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: past two years, is Frankly Louvu.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He's he's made a ton of plays. You know, they
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: move him around. Uh.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: He does a bunch of different things for their defense.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And so you're seeing aggressive bunch uh, a bunch of
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: guys who play play together, they play inspired and UH
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: as always, Man, it's gonna be another tough battle for us.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Uh as we expect every single week, and those guys
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: do a great job. So we look forward to, you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: another opportunity to to prove ourselves.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yesterday was talking to It's just the coverage that they
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: have forces you to throw some of those.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Underneath routes more than maybe other teams. What's the challenge
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in taking what they give you? Uh, that's always I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's a challenge. Uh. That's that's what we
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have to do as an offense.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Uh. I think for the majority of the time, you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the last two years, we've been seeing nothing but two
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: hot shells, and we can expect that with the talent
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we have at wide receiver and uh, the type of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: tight ends that we have in the in the uh
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you know, passing game, and so that's something that you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we're we're expecting.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Obviously, they can call any call they want, They can
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, make any adjustment they want.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: We just gotta be ready for it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And so whatever they have for us, we gotta go
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: out there and and uh, you know, make the proper
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that's mess if need be. But you know, it comes
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: down to execution, and so we got to you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: see what they're doing and make the right right calls
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and then you know, obviously go out there and execute
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the game plan.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You did that in Detroit taking with the gay girl
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in the game. How do you think that kicks started
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the whole offensive, scoring that drive and doing that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always our game plan. I'm never gonna try
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and force the ball. Uh, just always trying to make
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the right read and go to the right guy with
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the ball. And you know, for the most part, uh
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that that works out for us. And so I've got
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to always be on top of that and make sure
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know, the ball's spreading around based on what the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: coverage gives us.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, any given play, it could be any guy.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And that's the that's The great part about our offense
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: is that we got so many talented guys who can
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: make plays. Uh, it really doesn't matter who it is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: The key is for for everyone to play connected and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: do the right things and everything else will work itself out.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The team celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Super Bowl team.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You came in the league that year.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I know you didn't play the Seahawks, but just from
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a farwell, it was kind of the perception. What do
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you remember about that team coming up?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was actually in New York well when when
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they win and won the Super Bowl, and you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I remember, you know, just watching that team and uh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: just the type of passion they played with that game
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: was a tremendous game. I mean, they really you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: took it to the Broncos, who had a really good offense.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And you can see, like, you know, coming into the game,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: they might have been kind of thought of as the underdog,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so maybe they had that chip on their shoulder, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know when you watch them play, man, they were
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just physical, they were fast, everything that you know coach
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Carol talks about, and you know, that's that was a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: great team and it's fun to have a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: those guys who still come back and still you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: lend their expertise to the young guys. But it's great
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to have those guys being honored this weekend. You know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they're a great bunch and they mean a lot to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: this city and to this team.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: How important was that first drive last week? I men,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: just taking the open the kickoff and going down just
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: kind of giving I guess the way the previous week
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: had gone and kind of the atmosphere that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: There was there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's always important, you know, And we want to score
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: every time we get the ball, and we're not thinking
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: about the previous week when we go out there and play.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: We're thinking about doing our jobs and executing and you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: just making the play play at a time. So it's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: always important to go out there and and and start early, right.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You want to give you your team a lead.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You want to give you your defense something to be
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: excited about and your fans. And so that's our goal,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you know, to start fast every time anytime we get
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the ball, we want to score. We want to we
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: want to try and you know, do the best that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we can, no matter what the situation is, to score points.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And so uh, that that's always gonna be our our
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: kind of motto. You know, we just want to score
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: points as as much as we can and hopefully as
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: fast as we can.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: You know, how would you assess your run game averaging
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: like eighty three point six yards a game? And that's numbers,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: but how would you assess it just in terms of
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: it progressing and trying to get to where you you off.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Your lease to go?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think our run game is, you know, it
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: is what it's been. I think it's only two games
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to make an assessment on that based
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on two games. But we know we want to run
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the fall football here. We want to be physical up front,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and we got the guys to do it, and so
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: we just gotta keep plugging at it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: You know, Shane's gonna keep calling those runs, and we're
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: gonna keep giving it to our talent sed backs, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: our line is gonna continue to you know, press forward,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and so whatever the numbers are, you know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It is what it is after two games.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But I believe that those will obviously improve as the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: season goes along. And you know, those are things that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we got to continue to work on and practice. So
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a key to our offense. It's a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: key to our team. You know, it's a big part
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of who we are. And so we just got to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: keep plugging at it and you know, knowing those things
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: will work out.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: The three tight ends combine for I think like one
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty yards or something, and when you've got
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: a twelve or thirteen personnel and they can walk run
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: rounds to different things, just how valuable is that to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: your offense with what they can do.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's super valuable having three tight ends, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: really four tight ends with with Mabury, who can really
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: step in there, and they're an extension of everything we
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: want to do on offense as far as running the ball,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: play action and then the passing game. And when you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: can mix personnels, it just keeps the defense off balance.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know, you can see a bunch of things on
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: tape where their guys were kind of indecisive about what
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to do runner pass, you know, they got run fits
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and then they got you know, obviously these you know
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: coverages and and in in passing. So uh, as much
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: as we can get guys, you know, thinking about what
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to do and we can mix the personnel Uh, it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: gonna help our offense. But to have those guys out there,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to have them as a big part of our passing game, Uh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be vital for us in every single game.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I got gotta asks.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: You've never seen the Wire?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: No, I've never seen it. Man, no one's ever like recommended,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: like y'all like you gotta watch this. Nah. I grew
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: up in the wire, so I didn't have to watch it.
• 6:28
