- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, Josha, what what was that book you were referencing Sunday?
- 0:04Speaker 1: I think it was Relentless maybe by by Tim Grover?
- 0:08Speaker 2: Was was that it? Yeah? It was, yeah, Relentless Tim Grover.
- 0:15Speaker 1: When when did you first read that book? And how
- 0:18Speaker 1: have you sort of used it as inspiration? You're talking
- 0:20Speaker 1: about how you know Trey Bond was a cleaner on
- 0:22Speaker 1: Sunday just cures on how you even got to get
- 0:26Speaker 1: going with that.
- 0:28Speaker 3: I mean, I've been I really I haven't read the book.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I've been listening to the audiobook for about two years now.
- 0:34Speaker 3: And and Evan Ingram is another guy that you know
- 0:38Speaker 3: that I've experienced these moments with, and you know, then
- 0:42Speaker 3: having Trey Bond be introduced to it, and you know
- 0:45Speaker 3: him him learning some things from that book, and you
- 0:47Speaker 3: know it's it's a given take. It is a given
- 0:49Speaker 3: taking the book. You know, there's a lot of things
- 0:51Speaker 3: that you think are necessary, a lot of things that
- 0:53Speaker 3: are you know, I can I can, you know, I could.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Take something from it.
- 0:56Speaker 3: So you know, I'm not saying it to help everybody,
- 0:59Speaker 3: but you know what you're looking for, you can definitely
- 1:01Speaker 3: get something out of it.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And how have you seen Traybon sort of maybe embody
- 1:07Speaker 1: what you were talking about Sunday and just his growth
- 1:09Speaker 1: from since he got here.
- 1:12Speaker 2: I mean it was really just that one play, you know.
- 1:15Speaker 3: I mean, he you know, we just line up and
- 1:18Speaker 3: play ball at the end of the day once Sunday
- 1:19Speaker 3: does come. But it was just like at that last series,
- 1:22Speaker 3: you know, when he mentioned it to me, he told
- 1:24Speaker 3: me that he was this is how he's been feeling
- 1:26Speaker 3: all game, and so, you know, not knowing that he
- 1:29Speaker 3: was actually reading the book or listening to the audiobook
- 1:33Speaker 3: or whatever, just knowing at that moment he just mentioned
- 1:36Speaker 3: it to me, and you know, I just thought it was,
- 1:38Speaker 3: you know, really cool.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Appreciate you, Hey, Josh, thanks for doing this. This is
- 1:48Speaker 4: gonna be I think your sixth trip, you know, over
- 1:50Speaker 4: to London. There's so much different does it feel now?
- 1:53Speaker 4: And how much more comfortable is everything compared to maybe
- 1:56Speaker 4: your first time over there in twenty nineteen?
- 1:59Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, I definitely, it's definitely.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't think you can never get
- 2:06Speaker 3: used to the top, you know, the travel, but once
- 2:09Speaker 3: you get there, it is what it is.
- 2:11Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:12Speaker 3: At the end of the day, we had a game
- 2:13Speaker 3: to win, and that's really our main focus. You know,
- 2:17Speaker 3: we just have that extra week excuse me after that
- 2:21Speaker 3: to get you know, to get adjusted back to you know,
- 2:24Speaker 3: official timing out there. And you know, so week two
- 2:28Speaker 3: is probably more of a bigger, bigger change for us,
- 2:32Speaker 3: but we like it, and you know, we do get out.
- 2:35Speaker 4: There and being out there for you know, two weeks
- 2:39Speaker 4: last year, Just how much does that go to like
- 2:41Speaker 4: building the chemistry and just being around the team for
- 2:44Speaker 4: like that amount of time.
- 2:46Speaker 3: I mean, at the one hotel we stayed at the heck,
- 2:48Speaker 3: ain't nothing else to do, you know, So I think
- 2:53Speaker 3: that that kind of it doesn't force people to be together,
- 2:55Speaker 3: but it just allows us to find opportunities to connect
- 2:58Speaker 3: with others and just you know, just get to know
- 3:01Speaker 3: more people outside of it here. So like you know,
- 3:04Speaker 3: I know, as you guys know, in the locker room,
- 3:06Speaker 3: we've mixed it up a little bit. So you know,
- 3:08Speaker 3: guys are you know, not really blocked off and in
- 3:12Speaker 3: their groups now. So that allows us to get to know,
- 3:15Speaker 3: you know, the person next to us, and so moving
- 3:18Speaker 3: over there is gonna be another you know, we get
- 3:21Speaker 3: to know these guys a little bit more. So I
- 3:22Speaker 3: probably get to hang out with some people, you know,
- 3:24Speaker 3: to be sitting down there chilling majority of the time,
- 3:27Speaker 3: and someone probably be doing the same thing. And we
- 3:30Speaker 3: just started a conversation and you know, get to know
- 3:33Speaker 3: what everybody's about.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Appreciate Josh.
- 3:37Speaker 5: All right, go ahead, Mia and then d Rock.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Okay, another pseudo non football question. Josh. I'm sure the
- 3:45Speaker 6: answer is yes, but although you certainly do have a
- 3:48Speaker 6: day job, you're also focused on how much? How much
- 3:51Speaker 6: have you been following the WNBA playoffs?
- 3:55Speaker 2: I mean, okay, do you know that.
- 4:00Speaker 6: Your sister's in the final?
- 4:01Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, okay, I know, Oh yeah, I know that.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I know that. I know that, and I know she's
- 4:07Speaker 2: about about to win the championship. There we go, awesome crazy.
- 4:13Speaker 6: I was wondering if you were following it at all.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Obviously now you certainly have a lot going on for
- 4:19Speaker 6: you guys when it comes to going over to London
- 4:22Speaker 6: the Thursday night versus I'm sure you've talked to other teams.
- 4:25Speaker 6: I know you've only ever done it where you guys
- 4:27Speaker 6: leave with the shorter window, But what have you heard
- 4:30Speaker 6: maybe from guys around the league, if any at all,
- 4:32Speaker 6: that they leave earlier versus doing it the way the
- 4:36Speaker 6: Jags do it.
- 4:38Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think people trying to figure
- 4:40Speaker 3: out what we try to do more so than what
- 4:43Speaker 3: we you know, try to find everybody else to do.
- 4:46Speaker 3: You know, we've been going on there for six years,
- 4:47Speaker 3: so what advice is somebody going to give us about traveling?
- 4:51Speaker 3: And then you know with Doug, Doug's a you know,
- 4:54Speaker 3: routine guy.
- 4:54Speaker 2: He does it.
- 4:55Speaker 3: You know, he's been doing this for the past couple
- 4:57Speaker 3: of years now, so you know his timing isn't going
- 5:00Speaker 3: change much much of any other than this, you know,
- 5:04Speaker 3: hurricane that's happening. But you know, girls of that man
- 5:07Speaker 3: were going to put down there. Whenever we leave, we leave,
- 5:10Speaker 3: and you know, we play ball and we get ready
- 5:13Speaker 3: to go.
- 5:14Speaker 6: All right. Now, the football question their offense, how have
- 5:18Speaker 6: you seen them grow from the first three games on
- 5:21Speaker 6: tape they gave up fourteen sacks to the last two
- 5:23Speaker 6: where they've only given up four.
- 5:25Speaker 3: I mean, quick game and screams. You know, they gave
- 5:29Speaker 3: the balls, you know, they gave the balls to their playmakers.
- 5:32Speaker 3: They got a good receiving corps. You know, good offensive
- 5:35Speaker 3: line as well, solid offensive line and you know quarterback
- 5:38Speaker 3: who you know who's young but who can who can
- 5:41Speaker 3: make every throw? So we got to give credit what
- 5:44Speaker 3: credits due? Uh DeAndre Swift is a good running back.
- 5:49Speaker 3: You know, I still remember days you know him back
- 5:52Speaker 3: in Georgia, so I got to give my get back,
- 5:56Speaker 3: you know. But he's a good running back, and they
- 6:00Speaker 3: do a good job with scheming, scheming the defenses up
- 6:03Speaker 3: so at the end of the days, it's really not
- 6:05Speaker 3: about them. It's about us and make sure that we're
- 6:08Speaker 3: where where we're supposed to be each and every play,
- 6:11Speaker 3: and just to be able to play fast always.
- 6:13Speaker 2: And you know, I'm really most excited about that.
- 6:16Speaker 3: It's tiding to get back out there and you know,
- 6:18Speaker 3: another opportunity to go out there and dominate.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Does it feel like this team is where it's supposed
- 6:24Speaker 6: to be after Sunday? I know, obviously this fourth quarter
- 6:27Speaker 6: probably gave you guys a lot of stuff to work on,
- 6:30Speaker 6: But independent of that, did it feel like Sunday was
- 6:33Speaker 6: a step in the right direction?
- 6:36Speaker 2: Definitely?
- 6:36Speaker 3: You know, we were I'm not going to say we
- 6:39Speaker 3: were searching for week one, I mean one one, but
- 6:43Speaker 3: just waiting for that, waiting for that moment to come
- 6:45Speaker 3: so we can you know, have this fuel, have this
- 6:48Speaker 3: positive fuel in the locker room, in the in the
- 6:50Speaker 3: whole building as a whole, and hopefully he can keep
- 6:53Speaker 3: carrying on again. You know, even with this hurricane coming,
- 6:57Speaker 3: I think we still have a great plan of you know,
- 7:00Speaker 3: executing what we need to get done. And I don't
- 7:02Speaker 3: think this is a big distractions for all. I think
- 7:05Speaker 3: we all know that it is what it is with
- 7:07Speaker 3: the hurricane, and don't let that affect what we have
- 7:10Speaker 3: going on. And I think a lot of guys are
- 7:13Speaker 3: really hone into that. And so I can't wait to
- 7:15Speaker 3: go out there Friday in London and do what we
- 7:18Speaker 3: need to do and just you know, get ready for Sunday.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Then Josh's pass rushers do is there anything to facing
- 7:28Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback?
- 7:30Speaker 5: We in the media seem to make.
- 7:32Speaker 7: A big deal about rookie quarterbacks, But is there anything
- 7:35Speaker 7: different for you or for pass rushers and dealing with that.
- 7:39Speaker 3: I mean, you'd like to play against rookie quarterbacks, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 3: you'd like to play against them. They want to you
- 7:47Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I think they a lot of
- 7:48Speaker 3: them want to make the plays, make the big plays.
- 7:51Speaker 3: You know, when the numbers, when those numbers gets called,
- 7:53Speaker 3: so they get to tend to hold it onto the
- 7:55Speaker 3: ball a little bit more. And I know with this quarterback,
- 7:58Speaker 3: he does a really good job on you know, getting
- 8:01Speaker 3: them away from sacks, so that gives us more opportunities
- 8:04Speaker 3: to rush the ball because he I believe he has
- 8:06Speaker 3: all the comforting in the world that can't nobody sack him.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Obviously the first two weeks they gave him fourteen or whatever.
- 8:12Speaker 3: First three weeks. I don't know what he said right then,
- 8:14Speaker 3: but you know, even still on the tape, he tries
- 8:17Speaker 3: to do he does his best on avoided sacks. So
- 8:21Speaker 3: you know, we can keep our rush lanes and you know,
- 8:24Speaker 3: rush for more physically upfront. I think we'll have and
- 8:28Speaker 3: bus on the edge is we just went on one
- 8:29Speaker 3: on ones. You know, if we can do those and
- 8:32Speaker 3: affect him to make them step up and make them
- 8:34Speaker 3: retreat and just you know, really go chase stuff down.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Give our dvs. I know dvs probably gonna have to
- 8:41Speaker 3: plaster a little bit longer. But if we can keep
- 8:44Speaker 3: him in that pocket and hold him in there, man,
- 8:46Speaker 3: we'll we'll have a lot of success this week.
- 8:51Speaker 5: All right, we have time for two more.
- 8:53Speaker 2: We're gonna go to Gene and then end with Alessandra.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Hey, Josh, what do you make of It's only a
- 8:59Speaker 5: five game, Sam size. I realized that what do you
- 9:01Speaker 5: make of the inconsistency with the defense so far? You
- 9:05Speaker 5: had two really good games, you had another really bad.
- 9:08Speaker 5: You had a bad game obviously at Buffalo, not a
- 9:13Speaker 5: very good first half, against Houston, better second half, and
- 9:17Speaker 5: same thing with Indianapolis. Pretty good opening forty minutes, bad
- 9:20Speaker 5: last twenty minutes. Is this about? Is this about communication?
- 9:25Speaker 7: Is this about maybe missing some guys that would really
- 9:28Speaker 7: help out on defensive? What do you make of how
- 9:31Speaker 7: inconsistent the defense has been so far?
- 9:36Speaker 3: I think just players need to play, players need to
- 9:38Speaker 3: make We need to make our plays, and just you know,
- 9:40Speaker 3: start faster, and we can't be able to do that.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Man, We'll be right where we need to be.
- 9:46Speaker 7: How much how bopinsive is it for you that last
- 9:48Speaker 7: four games you guys have given up a touchdown on
- 9:51Speaker 7: the opening drive.
- 9:55Speaker 2: I mean, okay, we got to start fast. Can't allow that?
- 10:02Speaker 5: Thanks, Hi, Josh?
- 10:08Speaker 8: So uh, obviously you know Tyson Campbell's twenty one day open,
- 10:13Speaker 8: so to get him back?
- 10:14Speaker 2: Just what is the.
- 10:15Speaker 8: Versatility that he brings in just the uniqueness, especially as
- 10:18Speaker 8: a leader, but also just to what he does for
- 10:20Speaker 8: the defense.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I mean, he's a corner that you know that when
- 10:25Speaker 3: he's in his zone, like you don't want to you
- 10:27Speaker 3: don't want to bother on his side. Uh So that
- 10:29Speaker 3: so that lucks down on one side of the field,
- 10:31Speaker 3: and you know, Buster or Darby you know's done, is
- 10:35Speaker 3: done a good job so far, I guess on just
- 10:37Speaker 3: doing what they're supposed to do. So having Tyson back
- 10:39Speaker 3: and having Savage back, there's a lot of versatility, a
- 10:43Speaker 3: lot of a lot of more age, a lot more
- 10:44Speaker 3: experience in the back end, and so you know, with
- 10:48Speaker 3: with them, I think it just allows more confidence, you know,
- 10:51Speaker 3: throughout everybody else just to play free and just well
- 10:54Speaker 3: Tyson's back, and you know what I mean.
- 10:56Speaker 2: So just to have your starters back out there, you know,
- 10:59Speaker 2: it means a lot.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Even when Foyer gets back, it's you know, this is
- 11:03Speaker 3: gonna feel a little bit different. And because we haven't
- 11:06Speaker 3: had our full defensive you know, roster since Miami, So
- 11:12Speaker 3: just to be able to get everybody back at one time, man,
- 11:15Speaker 3: it's gonna be special.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And you know, hopefully you know, Tyson stay healthy because
- 11:19Speaker 2: when he's healthy. Man, he's a heck of a player
- 11:21Speaker 2: and I can't wait to play with him again. All right,
- 11:28Speaker 2: thanks Josh, thank you,
