  Speaker 3: Hey, here's you guys going back to a place where
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: you just played a couple of weeks ago of that,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: do you let yourself feel the sting of that loss
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: in this same place where you're going to play again.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Now, of course we're gonna kind of feel that fear
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: that little bit, but we kind of want to move
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: on and just get ready for Arizona State. I mean,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: they're a good football team, and we kind of don't
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: want to just think about that game all over again.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: We want to move on and just get ready to go.
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: And you know we've you've heard the quote from PK
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: at the end of the year where you talked about
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: you want to grow as a linebacker, not just as
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: a good football player. I just want to ask you,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: can you maybe think of one or two things that
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: PK has taught you specifically about linebacking that maybe you
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: didn't know or didn't conceptualize, you know, in high school.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I kind of want to of course, my Coast Coast Nances,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I probably want to talk about it more just just
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: developing seeing stuff before the play and kind of working
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: all my food work, just not crossing over and kind
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: of understanding the pictures it tight splits and are they
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: going to run the over route or are they the
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: linemen on their heels?
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Are they pulling? Just little stuff like that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Where you kind of think about a high school that
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: just helped me develop Anthony.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: So there's certain people in life who transcend the life itself.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: There they love what they do so much that they
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: attract fans to them.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: You're one of those people. I'm just curious, where does that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: Come from from your mom, your dad, your aunt, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: and why do you love this game so much? Then
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: the follow on to that, would you ever consider being
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: miked up on the field for a game?
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Me, I'm gonna talk about the mic up. I don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: want to be micd up. I don't think that that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: gonna be a gobby for me. And just kind of
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: what a love of football just came from my mom
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and my dad and a little bit of my little
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: brother of me. And I've been a football fan my
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: whole life. I've been watching the Seahawks. I grew up
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: with Cam Chancellor, Boby Wagner them, and I'm a big gamer. So,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: like Derrick Johnson always tells me, how do I know
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: all these people? Because I was on I was on
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Ultimate team when I was a little kid, playing with
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Derrick Johnson and Tom Balley and different guys. So I
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: kind of just understand footby at the different level kind
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: of from just playing video games and playing with my
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: friends and watching football with my dad when I was
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: a kid.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Hey, Merry Christmas, Anthony.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: Hey, Michael Taff said after the Clemson game that you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: he learned some lessons from the success that club making
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: the offense had. What did you learn playing that Clemson
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: offense that will help you moving forward on?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: What I learned is kind of helped me just fine
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: tune some things in zone covers. I mean it was
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a couple of little bushs, and we'll all say that
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: we take accountability for those bushes. Kind of understanding that
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: when the down gets longer, just plashed during and and
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: and zone drops and just different landmarks that you want
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to stay in during the longer in the down.
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: PK just told us how collins past rush ability is elite.
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: He won that Freshman of the Year award recently. His
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: ball get off the first step or two is incredible.
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: Is that just God giving? Or what what does he
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: do to make that so special?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: That's just God given? I mean I love, like, of
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: course I wasn't. I was a freshman last year. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: kind of loved just seeing freshmen making players. I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: next year, hopefully a guy comes in and and does
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: what we did, like the.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Next couple of years.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: But he's kind of his get off, his understanding the
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: football has kind of been different. Just he kind of
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: been helping me a little bit. Just we're in competition
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: every week. Are you gonna get more sex? Who's gonna
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: get more sex? I mean, he got me right now,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but hopefully next week I can come get him back.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: But I kind of just love playing with him, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: we're kind of kind of.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Like each other. It's just kind of great playing with him,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and it's been pretty fun.
• 4:22
  Speaker 10: And I just wonder, what is your impression of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: way Ac and Vernon have played this season? Holding the
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: holding the point of attack? Yeah, and what what does
• 4:34
  Speaker 10: it do for a defense when you guys have these
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: goal line stands at A and M, you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Know, the one against Clemson? What does that do for
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: y'all mental?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: First of all, I just kind of say, well, Ac
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and Vernon, I kind of love how they've been playing
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the whole year. I mean, they play fast and physical,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and it just kind of helps the linebackers. When they're
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: playing fast, we can play faster back and can play fast.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of all tied to a string if
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: we're all playing fast and we can all play fast
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: together and them goal line stands kind of just just
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: test the point of how we practice and how we
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: execute in the offseason.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I mean some of these plays.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Mean, we went out on the field before that, after
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: that point, and we kind of said we're going to
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: get a stop, and the fact that we did it
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: was amazing, and we just kind of love that we
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: make those plays and it just helps to boost the defense.
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: Hey, Anthony, is there how simple or how complicated Peak's
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: style of defense? Is there a phrase he always uses
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: that you go to sleep and you can hear his
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: voice in your head.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: You know, learning the players when you first get here
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: are kind of hard, but once you get here and
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: months go by, years go by, it's kind of you
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: kind of realize how simple it really is.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, he kind of breaks down.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: We do a good job of getting younger guys in
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: meetings so they understand what's going on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: So I feel like he does a great job of.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Getting us going and putting young guys in position to
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: make plays. So we kind of like when we first
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: got here, of course, they kind of had me at
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: a smaller role. We kind of do that with some
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: of the freshmen so they can kind of play fast
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and Comprehendile's going.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: On, Anthony, We just had PK on here and he
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: said in the offseason, y'all moved to that post defense
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: middle of the field closed.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: How does that help.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Your position when you have you know, maybe either Drew
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: or Taff dropping down and.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Helping out on it kind of helps us play faster.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I mean we kind of kind of run a little
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: bit more covered three. It just helps us play faster
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: having an ashe guy in the box. I mean, we
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: feel like we've been stopping to run pretty well just
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: so far this year, and we got a big challenge
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: this week, so we kind of understand that playing some
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: of this cover through kind of helps us some of
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the posts and some of the curve rass that team's
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: been attacking us with last year.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: So it's been pretty useful for us.
• 6:37
  Speaker 12: Hey and camp Scattaboo said, he's the best running back
• 6:43
  Speaker 12: in the country. Fifteen hundred yards rushing a thousand after contact.
• 6:49
  Speaker 12: He's a five hundred yard receiver. But what do you
• 6:52
  Speaker 12: see from this guy on film? And what is he
• 6:56
  Speaker 12: different from anything you've faced this year.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I've been watching the tape and I mean he deserved
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to say that. I mean, he put up fifteen hundred.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I've been watching the tape. He's running guys over and
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: he's catching balls at the backfield, so.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I feel like he deserves to say that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, we have a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: challenge in winning the league defense, so I just.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Can't wait to play against him and see who's really
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the best.
• 7:17
  Speaker 13: Was a good mayde Christmas. I just want to ask
• 7:20
  Speaker 13: you talk about that challenge. To follow up on that question,
• 7:23
  Speaker 13: how much does it excite the defense? You know, going
• 7:25
  Speaker 13: into a game where you know they're going to try
• 7:27
  Speaker 13: to run the ball on y'all and its front seven
• 7:29
  Speaker 13: loves when the teams try to do that, and so
• 7:31
  Speaker 13: how much is that exciting for y'all?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: It's really exciting.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're seeing him running guys over on tape,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: We're seeing him do it all this different stuff.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: So we kind of see it as a challenge. You know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: we want to we want to.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Be the best, and we strive to be the best,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: so we want to play against the best.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: All right, that's some sound from Anthony Hill. Appreciate him
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: for that.
