Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When you're as last wee, what'd you like the FoST
- 0:02Speaker 1: about what you saw that the Running Game had finally
- 0:06Speaker 1: you know, come to life with Zach and Ken and
- 0:08Speaker 1: just the way Gino commanded everybody. You know, I think
- 0:11Speaker 1: we were only up. Uh we're I think down down
- 0:13Speaker 1: by one and uh half time and then just to
- 0:15Speaker 1: come out with uh you know the type of uh
- 0:17Speaker 1: energy that we'd uh had uh coming into the second half.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty good.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I would notice you when Ken went into each other
- 0:24Speaker 1: or see who was most physical.
- 0:25Speaker 2: But what does his physicality I do it is harst
- 0:29Speaker 2: just toughness for the girl.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I think, Uh he sets the tone, uh, especially in
- 0:33Speaker 1: the running back room and especially uh you know when
- 0:35Speaker 1: we're out there on offense. Uh just the way with
- 0:37Speaker 1: how he runs the ball, you know, plays never dead
- 0:39Speaker 1: or over whenever he gets the ball in his hands.
- 0:41Speaker 1: So uh, just for us to just stay alive. And
- 0:43Speaker 1: he's an incredible running back, you know, as y'all have
- 0:45Speaker 1: seen in the past two years. So just specially that
- 0:49Speaker 1: we have on our team, and uh, you know, just
- 0:51Speaker 1: looking forward to what he does in the future, Geno
- 0:54Speaker 1: having command, what what does that look like? Specif just
- 0:57Speaker 1: him being him, Uh, I think is the best way
- 0:59Speaker 1: to describe it. He always gonna make the right throw,
- 1:01Speaker 1: make the right read, and put us in the best
- 1:03Speaker 1: situation uh to be successful. Him and Shane you know,
- 1:05Speaker 1: have a unique UH relationship to where I see him
- 1:08Speaker 1: talking all the time, UH along with UH Drew and
- 1:11Speaker 1: UH Geo in the UH quarterback room, and they're always,
- 1:13Speaker 1: you know, trying to perfect every detail and trying to
- 1:15Speaker 1: make sure they're own point with all the def details
- 1:17Speaker 1: in the offense quarterbacks at times you hear about boys,
- 1:20Speaker 1: I'm not getting rouled by different situations.
- 1:22Speaker 2: How good is you know? It's staying in the moment
- 1:25Speaker 2: and not letting things bother Uh. He's done a pr
- 1:27Speaker 2: a real good job at it.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Uh. I never seen him uh pretty much get flustered,
- 1:32Speaker 1: UH since he's been the starting quarterback UH with us.
- 1:35Speaker 1: So I mean just the way that he commands the
- 1:37Speaker 1: offense and the way that he throws the ball with
- 1:40Speaker 1: so much confidence and uh like he knows, you know,
- 1:42Speaker 1: we're gonna catch it on the other end. So you know,
- 1:44Speaker 1: it's just him being him, Like I just said, Tyler
- 1:47Speaker 1: Lockett's unselfishness.
- 1:48Speaker 2: He gets two touchdowns one game comes back the next one,
- 1:52Speaker 2: seven targets three receptions and he doesn't miss it, be
- 1:56Speaker 2: goes about his business. Can you say about it? Just
- 1:59Speaker 2: this selfish?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Uh well, it's his birthday today, so happy birthday of
- 2:02Speaker 1: the lot. But uh how old is he forty five?
- 2:07Speaker 2: Uh?
- 2:09Speaker 1: But uh no, I mean just his presence out there
- 2:12Speaker 1: on the field alone is is I mean the defense
- 2:14Speaker 1: has to honor him cause, uh, you can't leave him,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, Scott free or just one on one, cause
- 2:19Speaker 1: he's gonna take advantage of that every time. So I
- 2:21Speaker 1: mean Tyler doesn't say a word. Uh, he always goes
- 2:24Speaker 1: out there, uh gives a hundred percent effort, runs every
- 2:27Speaker 1: route like he's getting the ball. So uh, just a
- 2:29Speaker 1: good uh big brother for me and uh Jackson, just
- 2:32Speaker 1: to continue to learn from and just you know, happy
- 2:34Speaker 1: that he's been my teammate and you know, my my
- 2:37Speaker 1: receiver duo the past five years.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Birthday. Yeah, yeah, good tell y'all. Yeah, locking to tell you.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Probably you told us last week at this time you
- 2:50Speaker 1: were fine, but then you didn't practice most of the week,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and that, I mean was last week did any difficult
- 2:54Speaker 1: for you physically at all? Or I mean, you know
- 2:56Speaker 1: i'd like to play tricks on y'all. Sometimes can't get
- 2:59Speaker 1: y'all everything, but uh, yeah, the ribs were farm today.
- 3:02Speaker 2: What did you learn about Tyler when you were going
- 3:04Speaker 2: through the on buying process with him?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Uh, he's very detailed and uh my financial advisor called
- 3:11Speaker 1: him very thorough. Uh he said he didn't expect, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 1: an athlete, uh, you know in the profession to be
- 3:17Speaker 1: as professional as he was. So he really just raised
- 3:21Speaker 1: my brows and I mean I just looked at it,
- 3:23Speaker 1: his locks, you know, getting me a house, so another
- 3:25Speaker 1: another favorite that he's done for me.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Yes, when it comes.
- 3:30Speaker 1: To third downs, I know that that's a room room
- 3:33Speaker 1: for opportunity.
- 3:34Speaker 2: What's the conversation at this point?
- 3:37Speaker 1: Because sometimes it's not about talking, it's executing. But it's
- 3:40Speaker 1: not happening right. I mean week two we had a
- 3:43Speaker 1: rough third down outing. Week two, I mean week one,
- 3:45Speaker 1: we had a rough third down outing. We Week two
- 3:47Speaker 1: we came back and did pretty good, and then we
- 3:50Speaker 1: got into another slump last week. So just standing third
- 3:53Speaker 1: and manageable first off and then just continue to execute
- 3:57Speaker 1: the players like we do on first and second down,
- 3:59Speaker 1: because I think first and tacond down where you know
- 4:01Speaker 1: top ten, top five UH offense in the league. But
- 4:04Speaker 1: you know when third down comes, we our awareness has
- 4:06Speaker 1: to just go up into executing the players. So we
- 4:09Speaker 1: can one continue to keep the defense on the side
- 4:11Speaker 1: of the on the sideline to rest and uh for
- 4:14Speaker 1: us to continue to put more points on the board.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Does it getting more complicated this week?
- 4:17Speaker 2: For as much as thirtynna blooz Uh?
- 4:19Speaker 1: No, I think that makes it easier cause less people
- 4:22Speaker 1: for us to try to defeat on defense.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Is there a significant difference in the way teams are
- 4:26Speaker 2: playing you guys on those early downs versus those third
- 4:28Speaker 2: downs this year?
- 4:29Speaker 1: Uh? No, I haven't seen. Uh, you know significant difference.
- 4:31Speaker 1: You know, teams try to hold their too sh too
- 4:33Speaker 1: hot shell and you know roll down at the last
- 4:36Speaker 1: minute to try to come down to one shell, stack
- 4:38Speaker 1: the box and try to stop the run.
- 4:39Speaker 2: First. What are the hallmarks of the strange defense? Uh,
- 4:43Speaker 2: they're they're blitzing. Uh.
- 4:45Speaker 1: They're a DC you know, came from the Ravens, so
- 4:47Speaker 1: he's known for cover zero blitzing. And then they got
- 4:49Speaker 1: a good front seven.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Uh. Their two d ns are pretty good.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Got big boys in the middle that can get out
- 4:55Speaker 1: of the quarterback and stop the run. So it's gonna
- 4:57Speaker 1: be you know, up to us with number one executing
- 5:00Speaker 1: and then just running our offense. They gotta continue to
- 5:02Speaker 1: guard us, not the other way around. Sharbonne finishes a
- 5:05Speaker 1: run like he did down near the goalingch what what
- 5:06Speaker 1: does that do for.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The the whole team? I mean it ignited everybody.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I've seen everybody jumping up, celebrating, yelling, Uh cause w
- 5:13Speaker 1: one we thought he scored, but two just to you know,
- 5:15Speaker 1: do a defender like that, uh after you step out
- 5:18Speaker 1: of bounds.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It is brutal. I don't I don't think you've played
- 5:21Speaker 2: in New York?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Is that something really excited you're all kind of playing
- 5:23Speaker 1: on that stage or uh no, sir? Uh, I mean
- 5:26Speaker 1: it's just another chance for us to go get another win.
- 5:29Speaker 1: You get.
- 5:29Speaker 2: How impressed have you been.
- 5:30Speaker 1: With the with the offensive lines played the last two weeks,
- 5:32Speaker 1: with the many guys banged up in the a Alaholl lineups? Uh?
- 5:36Speaker 1: I mean they had a uh a good test during
- 5:39Speaker 1: training camp going against our defense with as much as
- 5:41Speaker 1: they try to you know, scheme up looks and everything.
- 5:43Speaker 1: But uh so, just coming into the season, it doesn't
- 5:46Speaker 1: surprise me, you know, that week two, they don't give
- 5:49Speaker 1: up a sack until uh Gino starts to you know,
- 5:51Speaker 1: do his little Michael Vick and pr impersonation. But uh,
- 5:54Speaker 1: you know, they they've just played pretty good. Uh.
- 5:56Speaker 2: You know throughout this whole season, uh have stayed together. Uh.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I mean we've had like four or five different old linemen,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you know, from left tackle to right tackle. So uh,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I mean they all handle their business and you know
- 6:07Speaker 1: it's a a a n tight knit group. Uh and
- 6:10Speaker 1: they're no liner. How would you describe what Jamal is
- 6:14Speaker 1: like on the sidelines when he's not able to play. Uh,
- 6:17Speaker 1: I mean it's like he's already in the game, Uh,
- 6:19Speaker 1: except for he's not you know, hitting anybody. His energy,
- 6:22Speaker 1: I think is unmatched between anybody, and you know I've
- 6:24Speaker 1: ever been around. He's always excited, always trying to get
- 6:27Speaker 1: everybody repped up and ready to play. So just the
- 6:31Speaker 1: good to you know, have him back on the field
- 6:33Speaker 1: with us.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's set
