  Speaker 1: as a a challenge to me cause I've never missed
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: UH a game before, just to try to wear a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: different hat and just try to you know, try to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: watch them and just see what the dbs were doing
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: or see if I could tell them, you know, anything
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that they could fix uh during the player or during
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the route. But you know, they all bust their ass, uh,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, every play and played their bus off, So
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just congrats to them on all the success that they've had.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Could you be clear you playing on plans Sunday?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Uh? Yes, sir, that's the plan?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Was the hip a little more seriously because you saw
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: it happened and then he came back and played the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: rest of the Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Well they told me before I got up here, I'm
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: not supposed to talk about injuries, So yeah, I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that's a peak question.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Going back to last week, how was it having guys
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: here at the walkthrough and seeing him do the twelve player?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I know you guys have that friendship.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Going back to yes, sir, I mean it was special,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a special moment for him, you know, knowing that everything
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that he's been through just to be able to, you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: live his life on dream of you know, being at
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a Seahawks game and raising the flag and doing something
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you know most people only dream about. So, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just just blessed to be able to know who he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: is and know him because his story is motivating to me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's defense numbers look really good when when you look
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: at them, Okay.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: What jumps out of you?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Their pass rush is definitely elite, and then they have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: some very good DBS. So it's gonna be a challenge
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think for us just to you know, continue to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: build on what we did last week. You know, we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: got better and third down, you know, still have to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: get better in the red zones. So there's just another
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: challenge for us to go out there. But you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it's just against a better defense. So I think it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a good challenge for us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Bobo's touchdown?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, it was crazy. I've never seen myself get that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: excited for somebody else at a minute. But he came
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: over to the sideline and gave me a look like
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was I in. I was like, yeah, you were in,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: bro And and then you know, after the review, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: everybody was just excited for him. But h I mean
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: he's electric player and you know at any moment he
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can make a catch like that because he does it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: every day in practice. So I mean he's fun to watch.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: How cold, How can the esch help you guys?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Once he kind of gets yes, sir, d Eskridge is
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a very explosive player. You can line him up anywhere,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and you know he's fast, and I think he just
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: has to get back on the field and uh, he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: back to loving football again, I will say that. So, uh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it's just good to just have him back at practice.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: He's been the meetings for the past couple of weeks,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: so just to have his presence back is good. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna help us out a lot on
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: offense just by his explosiveness.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And you know, it was really critical of himself after
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the last two games. Uh what you thought it is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the way he's played so far this year. Uh.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, with a great competitor like Geno,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: he's always gonna be you know, competitive and uh, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: always look to improve on every little thing that he did.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I mean, uh, it's just great to have him
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: as our leader, as our quarterback, to always trying to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: better himself and better the team. And uh, I mean
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's only gonna make us better because we have to,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, level ourselves up to his standards. So, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: just to have a leader like that on offense, especially
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and the guy throwing you the ball, is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is just you know great, cause it's motivating to me
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: cause I gotta be better, you know, in every aspect
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of my game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Can you move back and watch soay, what did you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: like about how you guys operated on third down?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, I mean it was better than the week before.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So just continuing to move forward and just uh, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: going from uh fifty to fifty six percent to you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: jumping that up to sixty seventy five percent or even
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a hundred percent. So uh, just continually and gradually getting
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: better throughout the year. Cause you you don't wanna peak
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: too early and definitely don't wanna peak too late. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just continuing, uh to get better.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: All good? Take a paggage, is it
