  Speaker 1: Up guys.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, now that was a good starting field position,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: so that was nice.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think overall, guys, it was.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You know, uh good to get the win, uh, you know,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: and to to do it in the you know, two
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: minute drive and get that big play to Jacks at
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the end was huge. And you know, just I feel
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: like the complimentary football, you know, not just today, but
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: all season has been really good, you know, and we're
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: just gonna continue to get better from there. But you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of credit to Arizona as.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you know that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I feel like they had a good, really solid game
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: plan and they fought all the way to the end.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, that's pretty much it. So what was
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: your message you want to side, Like, what did you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: do personally on that?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it was just all right,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: here we go. I'm gonna you know, get ready for
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: two minutes, warm up, and and just treat it like practice.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's at the end of the day, like
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: when you get in those two minute situations. We we
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: run through those situations so much in practice, so uh,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, it's you know, at the end of the day,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that's that's all I can do, is just you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: be me. Our guys go out there and not not
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: do too much and just do whatever the play is called,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and then if we got to make an adjustment from there,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we go from there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The last two drives, you had the big throws to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Jacks both times. What about him in those moments makes
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: himself good?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just comfortable in those moments, you know, And
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: he showed that, you know, even in the San Francisco game.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously we didn't get the job done when we played
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: them the first game, but he showed his big playability
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: not only in two minutes, but you know, throughout the game.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And so you know, we we have that rapport to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: where we can trust each other with different you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: routes and and kind of feeling leverage and all those things.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, too like our
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: our other guys did a really good job, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and and sometimes you know, in two minutes, I feel
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: like Jax does a really good job.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And and but you know, also you know, we're gonna.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Have other ops for for the other guys to be
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: able to shine, and I know they'll get their opportunities.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You though, you were have a good idea, you were
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: going to on that play on the file drive.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was just you know, reading out
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the reading out the play that was called. And you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: know sometimes we got to make adjustments and we make
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: adjustments from there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That Again, like I said, we've done so much in practice.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: But you know, we're just gonna continue to you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: for me especially, I'm gonna you know, treat every play
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: as its own and go from there. Last time you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: played in this stadium was the playoff game last year.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Uh mean anything to you to come back here and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: leave with a different.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Result, to be honest, not really. Uh, you know, it's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: just another game. Obviously it's in the same stadium. But uh,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you know it's week four, you know, and you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we we did a good job today, but you know
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff that we can clean up.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna enjoy this, you know, three day break
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: or whatever we got and uh, you know, watch some
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Ryder Cup so I'm excited for that. But it's gonna
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: be uh, it's gonna be a good time to be
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: able to just put my feed up, relax a little bit,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and get ready to roll for next week. Trust that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: third down play new hear the end zone where you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are scrambling at your right and Elijah looks like he's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: covered really tight.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have the trust to throw the ball down
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to it. He makes that play.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seeing him come along and here coming up with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: some big catches today, it's close.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an incredible play.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he showed his you know, big playability
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: throughout ot as in camp. You know, I'm really happy
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he came down with that one because I think I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: had twenty yards in front of.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Me of green grass. Uh, so I'm really happy he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: made that play. The next play was the long uns
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at the Biggest and Swamp of Turkey Verse.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one, you know, one of the one
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of the biggest I think. You know, Uh, it's just
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it's weird that it happened on that play. You know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: usually on you know keepers or nakeds, you don't usually
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have that happen. But you know, our O line did
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a really good job even on you know, the Keeper
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of Finishing and you know, I just saw the open
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: gap and took.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It a j Barner seems to just find the intone
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a while. What do you like about what you're seeing it? Yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know Aj is a great target.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Obviously, there's there's other guys that they gotta, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: respect on the field. You got Coop, you got Jack's,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you got Tory who's been making good plays. And so
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: when AJ gets his one on one opportunities, I feel
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: really good about him making plays.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You got one of the youngest offensive lions in the NFL.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You guys get the twenty eight seconds to go.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Talk about the maturity. Yeah, it's huge. You know the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: way that they stepped up on several drives too. Obviously
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of you know, ways to be
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: able to get better, not only for them but for
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: me in our entire offense. But you know when they
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: needed to step up, they stepped up in a big way.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Tight night, your kicker comes off the miss and comes
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: right back out and yeah it's.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: A fifty r game winner. Yeah that's Jami.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to keep bringing up golf, but I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: golf within this offseason, and uh, you know that's his
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: mentality and golf too, Like he hit a bad shot
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and you know he'll come back and stripe at the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: next one, and so you know he's got that mentality.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You know he gets you know, uh pretty frustrated when
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he doesn't make him, but then he comes back, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you know, it's almost automatic, you know, when when you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: know that he's gonna go in and you know not
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the next one down.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Good Thanks guys
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Mmm
