  Speaker 2: this time instead of dropping it like I did in
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the Rams game.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Were you surprisy through that? I was not surprised, because
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: like I knew the routes or anything.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I just didn't. I mean, it was like kind of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: right to me. So I just didn't know what he's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: seen or what.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, it happens four straight where you were.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think for us, I mean, we've been living in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the like we call it the the the death zone.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: We've been living in that for the last four games.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Each game is the playoff game in our eyes, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we're w We've been in the playoffs four or five
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: weeks now. Just continue to win these games and each
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: game is a new game for us. So we got
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a good uh ponemic a a really good opponent opponent
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: coming in and you know, we gotta go out there
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and win, and it put us in a great position
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to keep going and playing the playoffs.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: All the way to winning the Super Bowl.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Of course, there's a mentality of that sustainable for two months. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It just depends on the guys. You got in that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: locker room, and I think we got the right guys.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Of course, when it gets the playoff games, it's do
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: or die, so at that point it's really you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it's heightened. Everybody knows it. Then it's it's one play
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you could win, one play you could lose. So we're ready,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we're locked in, and we're just gonna keep going.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Arizona drive clocks.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Right now, game is pretty much in hand, but you
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: could tell you guys still really cared about keeping them that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I understand we didn't.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We didn't want him to score, didn't want the We
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we want to be dominant, and you can't just be
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: dominant in certain times. You gotta be dominant throughout the game.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So that's one of those things we work on. What
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: do you like about the way Kobe Bryan says, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: mean shoot everything. It's communication. The way he's just relentless
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to the ball. I mean, you feel real comfortable in
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the back end knowing that him and you know Jay
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Love's back there, so he's a baller.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He's a baller. He's a baller. How does the Kobe
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: affected with you? And tires played you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: To tell they that they got their their communication, their
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: own you know connection, which it just feeds down to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the rest of the team.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And me and to night.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: You know, we go go with no worries, knowing that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: they're gonna communicate that all we have to do is,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, stay stout in the run and then get
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: give give up, get back in our zones to give
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: them help and they're gonna handle the rest. I got
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Chris McDonald play calling and having him in your headset,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: would you like, Man, it's I wish y'all could have
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a day in the life of being in the head
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: sat It's it's fun. It's fun. He's always talking to me.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I always say he's It's almost like he's the first
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: DC I've had that's been in the game with us.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Like it's like he's playing linebacker right next to us.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He sees it and out through our lens and he
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: kind of expects knows what's coming next, and he's been
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: great at it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What makes it different than other Yeah, just like kind of.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I just think he's it almost feels
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: like he's in the game with us. Like, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: when we're out there playing football, we start getting tennessees
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: from what the offense is doing by demeanors, and of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: course he's on the sideline, so he doesn't get all that,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: but he's somehow, he's he's been spot on with calls
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and he's been doing a hell of a job.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Whould that help with the transitions coming over in mid
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: season when you got that voice and voice and the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: head satay this guy, na, I mean, it was definitely helpful.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I mean we always joke in the linebacker room, like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: five six coaches on that staff's coach linebacker. So anytime
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we do anything in practice, we get coached like seven
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: times because everybody sees it and wants to correct it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So we get coached a lot.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And you know, we've been able to go out there
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and make plays and help this team back to back
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: turnovers the league as did to you know, deficit into
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a double digit lead. But do you feel like, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you were kind of stuff getting them.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They didn't really do much for another couple of quarters
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: after that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I mean we we we knew coming
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: into this game that you know, they as far as
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what they've said that they didn't like the way the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: last game went for them, and they were coming out
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: hungry and we knew coming into the game. Once we
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: get on, like get up and get a lead on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and we go jump on them and we put them,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: put them out.
• 4:51

• 4:54
