  Speaker 2: Obviously, that's when just from that any fect there's.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Week like team wise in terms of like, yeah, playoffs
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and distraction from that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think for us we're treating it,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you know, just another week, another game.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That's that's how everyone, especially in that locker room like
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: we got We got such great guys in that locker room.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Mature you know, leaders at every.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Position group, so you know, everyone's just ready to go
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: attacking the week, you know, per usual, and getting ready
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to go up against a really good forty nine ers
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: team you know that's been rolling and we're excited to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: go up against them.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Would you learn about the playoffs last year first time? Yeah?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, it was a little bit different too,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: just because it was a neutral site game being in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Arizona with you know, the fires and whatnot that happened
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in LA, So that neutral site game was a little
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: bit different. But I think for for me, like it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just continuing to to treat it as another week, just
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like I did last year, but just having that same
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: mindset and and you know, I guess letting the gut,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: letting the guys know. Maybe you know, it's it's just
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: another game. Obviously you prepare the same way. But when
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we get out there, we know Looman is going to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: be rocking, So it's you know, it's a it's an
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: important game. You know, we don't we don't get it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: twisted at all, Like we understand, you know, the implications
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of the game, the playoffs. It's it's awesome to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: playing in games like this, especially in January. But yeah,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: we're we're treating this week as as another week and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: we're excited about it. The Week eighteen game, obviously it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't a colimination game, but like really high stakes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Did that sort of feel like the playoff game? It
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: did for sure.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You know, just the the crowd, you know, just how
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: how into it they were, especially from you know, our
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: first drive. You know how loud the crowd was, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco. You know, obviously it's going to be
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you know, home field advantage for us. You know, being
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: able to use cadence is going to be huge, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then having our twelves there obviously making noise when they're
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on offenses is crucial. So you know, it's it's gonna
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: be an awesome atmosphere and something we're all looking forward to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: How many new things do you think they could throw
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at you, you know, kind of changing yours?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's uh, like I say all the time,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but we're looking at everything. You know, we we understand
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: kind of you know, what different looks they could they
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: could present. Yeah, they can obviously present some some new looks,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but you know, I think for us, it's just if
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that happens, just understanding our rules.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And and communicating and and going from there. Sport coaching views,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they asked you, you know what's the best part of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: working with.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the thing that jumps out to me
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is consistency. He's consistent day and day out. He's honest
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: with the players. You know, obviously great scheme, all those
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: things football wise that matter, but yeah, his his consistency
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and how he is with the players is uh is incredible.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And several hate and chitarized. What's gonna come besides that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they had?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for us, it's starts with the offensive line,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the way that we're able to run the football. Tight
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: ends included, receivers, everyone included, you know, full back, running backs,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: being able to run the football. But it starts with
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: those guys up front, the way that they're able to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to get things going in the run game for us
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to be able to play action off of it, do
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the things that we want to in the past game,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: especially on first and second down, just keeping the ball
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: moving forward. I think that's that's been a huge key
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: for our offense the entire year.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And nothing changes Saturday.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Else you need to get sorry, do you need to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: get you like, the treatment or something.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Like run the bog down before Saturday.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah we'll be we'll be getting some treatment.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But like I said, I feel really confident about going
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on Saturday.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I will make sure we've got the street.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You said it was during the walk through this morning.

  Speaker 2: No, No, it was during practice, yep, during practice, during
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: routes on air, and like I said, just felt a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: little something and didn't want to you know, make it worse,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and it was just a cautious, you know, precautious, precautionary
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: thing to be able to get in and get some.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Rehab on it. Yeah, you need to get anything like that.
• 5:08
