• 0:07
  Speaker 1: had in Bastville Christmas?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: A lot? Yeah. How grade of a a setting was that?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And the way he won the whole thing? To get
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to see him.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: It would be good to win by more than three
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: four points at a time. Uh, some games, but you
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: know we got to win and onto the next one.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: What was uh?
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: What was the experience like meeting your teacher the person?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Uh? It was good.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, just to meet him in person, and just to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: see his family, uh cause he talks about him a lot,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: but just to see him in person, meet his family,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: his daughters. Uh, they told me Merry Christmas and happy
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to meet, uh, meet me in person. So I was
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: just telling him likewise, and uh just had another lesson yesterday.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So it was a good experience. Is that the sideline
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: interaction with you only find he saw him? Yeah?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Where did you s in Tennessee?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Where in Tennessee is he? Uh? Knoxville.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: HM.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Back to back games obviously with the come back when
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you drive two different quarterbacks, what does that tell you
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: about this offense that you can get that job done
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: twice in arown even with different quarterbacks. I mean we
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: got the playmakers all around to where you know you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: can plug any quarterback and and then you know we
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: can make our offense work. But I mean, Shane calls
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the plays and we just bring him to life. I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: think that's the the real model of what's been going
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on in the past a couple weeks. It is a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: little bit of a kick to think that the scores
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: ended up being exactly the same touchdown drive from quarterback
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: late defensive stock.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: As a tame score or all that when it kind
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of played out. Uh No, I don't think it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, just as long as we get a win
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and get a get on up out of there, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: don't think it's it's too much to think about.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: But uh just speaks volumes of uh our two minute
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: preparation or how we finish games. Uh, just how we
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: can finish in that fashion. I mean we j we
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: just gotta learn how to I keep k keep saying this,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but beat teams in the first, second, third quarter to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: where U the fourth quarter may not even matter, getting
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: those late.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Minute drives like you just mentioned, the way you're this
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: team is able to fight back the last couple weeks,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: how much does that really kind of set the state
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: for this home struct trying to finishing strong here.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, I mean it says to stays pretty well just
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: by how we finish the past couple games, and you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know all about the central theme of the program is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: compete and uh always finish and uh taking care of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the football and all of that. So everything just pretty
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: much tied together, uh to what we have to do
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: these these last two weeks.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: How much your job is is being patient?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Uh in the context of how often your double teamed
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: or have to run a decoy route or something for
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: someone else. I don't think it's patience. I think it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: just staying in the game and uh just take and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: play each play like it's its own entity and not
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: just think too far ahead or or uh think back
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to what they did in the first quarter.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Things.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: That's continuing to look forward and just be in the moment.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Uh cause uh run play maybe coming to my m
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: coming my way, and uh I may have dropped the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: ball or been open one play. I can't think about that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I gotta you know, do my assignment and make my block.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Uh that may spring us for you know, seventy yard
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: r uh touchdown run or Uh the next play is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: gonna always gonna come. So that's just the the thought
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: process that that that I'm going through through the game.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Did you get double a lot as a rookie?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: No, sorry, I don't r I don't remember that. No
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like that at all.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Mmmm.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Just so it started that second year? Yeah, yeah, not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: third year thirty Oh it didn't So you didn't not
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: even the second year? No? Yeah?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Is that? What was that like that first couple of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: times getting racketed.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And double older.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, Tyler was getting a lot of attention, so
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, my first t uh two years, Tyler Locker
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was getting a lot of attention. And now I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: rolls are have slightly reversed. I'm getting a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: attention and Jackson and and Tyler are starting to, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: go off right now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Does it happen more in the red zone than in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the rest of the film?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the red zone since it's such a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: condensed space. Uh, it may look like at at times,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but no, I don't think. Uh, I've been doubled as
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: much in the red zone as in the past.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Is like what you'll see a lot of Philly Porter
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Junior this week. This got an NFL player ask for sure,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: what do you what similarities do you see in guys
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: who grew up around the game or around locker rooms
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: in different players.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I think they just car themselves differently, and uh they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: they're a lot smarter than than their age. Like he's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a very smart corner, you know, for him just being
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a rookie, He's made a lot of plays and has
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: taken on a lot of uh big receivers. So he's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be a fun matchup just going against him knowing
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: his dad was, you know, a a heck of a
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: football player for that same organization. So U I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a good matchup.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're never surprised anywhere, but where you surprised at all?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: They had to go to replay to make your touchout?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah I was surpris Well, No, I wasn't surprised,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: no cause I adn't even think I I got my
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: feet in like when the uh refs told me, uh
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it was incomplete, and you know I just believed them
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and start going back to the huddle.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, no, no I did not was not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: really a celebration.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I w I would of course
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a hundred percent celebrate a few t uh signal to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: touch down.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I definitely had one in mind.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, going going back to being double stuff knowing that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you are a bracketing double a lot, what goes to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: your mind when you see a looking.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm singing it up right now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I mean i'd just say finally and just go win
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: my one on one route and you know, if the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ball comes to me, it does and if not, I'm
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: waiting for my next opportunity where they singing me up.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Are are hurdles in your future for your next offseason endeavor? No?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I had to save it for the right
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: right time, in the right corner.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: They were. They were small out there, so I knew
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they were going for my legs.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: For that hurdle. Uh.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: One of the first play of the game, I saw
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: both of 'em were like five eight five nine, So
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, alright, they're definitely low tacklers.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Kid.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: What do you see from uh Jacks with the jit
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that just his finch to be tail And I was, no, no,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: moment is too big. Yeah, Uh, I think he just
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: starts he's starting to understand the offense and uh, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: plays and concepts around the offense, like when like uh
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: for uh going back to Philly for uh the go ball.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: He knew he was one on one, and he knew
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he had to win the third down conversion in Tennessee
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: last week. He knew he had to beat man and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: man coverage, and he knew his timing of when to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: get open or when to celebrate from the separate from
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the UH defender. So I just his his feel for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the game has just grown a lot. And you can
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: see how how often he's getting open. What were you
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: guys don't think of when they call that play for
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Kobe kind of get crowd on the other side of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the field so that maybe you can't see that uh
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: uh all of yeah, I knew what I knew what
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was about to happen. It was just a matter of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: completing the ball or.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Not anything else that I think. Thank you
