  Speaker 1: Oh we done eight. Yeah, he takes me the the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that ll Jackson. Ever then kind kind of how that
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: played it off, Yeah, you know they they blitted the slot.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Uh Jackson had an adjustment on this route, which you
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: did a great job at. Uh you know seeing that
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: was able to get the ball out to him in space. Uh,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: He's he's a very dynamic player in space.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I thought that uh DK. I mean what about his block.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Right like he gets an assist on that play for
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the just a great block and the uh Jackson finishing off,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: finishing it off in the end zone, you know, big
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: for him, big for the team. Just great to pull that,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: uh pull that win out we have.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So many times a year professional years. What about the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: two man brow get you go three for three? Start
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that strider?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's uh uh first of all,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you know, talk about the way that we prepare.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Coach puts us in that situation every.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Single day in the VMAT, so it's not uh something
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that we're not used to. And uh, you know, I
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: think Coach Carroll does a great job and making sure
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that we're always ready for two minutes. So when we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: go out there, uh, it's just another day for us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: It's just like another like standard practice, and uh, you know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: yeah it's key. I mean, you know, you know it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: gonna be a passing situation. You know, the D line's
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: gonna be you know, getting off the ball. You gotta
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get the ball out fast, and uh you want to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: start with that first completion, but you know it takes
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: everybody all eleven and uh, I feel like in a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: two minute, you know, we're just passing the ball and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we're just you know, doing what we're we're good at,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and so we just wanted to go out there and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: make things happen. Feel I feel like, uh, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: if I look at my game, if you know, being
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: totally honest with you, uh, take away two plays, three plays,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and you know we're talking about a really good game.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But uh, obviously you can't can't eliminate those I mean,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: those things happen.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And again that's.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Something that I've been trying to you know, be better at,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you know, not having those mistakes because those can hurt us.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, you know, our team is such
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a scrappy team. We find ways to win no matter what,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: no matter what. But I feel like if I can
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: play up to my capabilities.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Play up to my standard.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Who knows, like I said, what we can be because
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we're one of the best teams in football if we
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: play right. That ignored and how that game again. Yeah,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's uh, you know, it's a collective effort.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys stepped up today.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Tyler gave us a little bit of a PEPs off
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on the sideline when on that last drive.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, Jason Peters, he stepped in there, he said something.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You know, it was like, you know, this is what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we practice and pre prepared for all week, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to get these wins and to be in these moments.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And so it's a collective effort.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But it it takes a ton of resiliency. Uh, a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys going out there and just fighting, just
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: fighting to the end and just believing. So that's all
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it took today is just us believing and fighting to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Did you see in that stretcher and the yet has
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: six posessions? We had four to three and ours said
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: were they changing up with they? What do you wanna
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: gether side?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But did you No? I think I think overall, man,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think they just made some great plays.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: The one interception, the DK.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know the last play up two minute, guy under
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: cuts it makes a great play. Uh D lineman drops out,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: We're throwing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: A hot route. He tips the ball up to himself.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: This is the NFL one of the best defenses in football.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We knew we were going up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Against a really good defense, and they made some place
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you know that really did hatch off to the Browns.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: They're a really good team, but uh you know we
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: are too, And so when you have those type of battles, man,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be back and forth. You can expect that,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but you know, the the ultimate thing is to get
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So I think we did a great job in fights
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: at the end.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You bet you did some years a pretty well to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: getting out over the guys twenty and NFL season type man,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he looks, he looks just like it's the first one.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: That guy is the ageest won that. I can't believe it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You know, his twentieth season, he actually probably played against
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: uh Seattle with the with the throwback jersey. So, I mean,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: just a special guy, man, and I think he he's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: had a hell of a hell of a career, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he's still out there battle like it's his first game
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: he did get free play on the inter session.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Jersey Day, No, not at all. You know, I was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just throwing in rhythm.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Uh got did a good job under cutting, and he
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: made a play. I can get the ball out faster,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: maybe lead him more to the salon, But I didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: see a flag thrown, so I didn't think if.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We play, you tell us about that Bobo rushing touchdown
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and both.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He guys been playing that play for a little while then, Yeah, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we've been practicing that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You know, Bobo again, just a dynamic player. Uh can
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be used in a multitude of ways, so versatile. Uh.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was a great call by Shane.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Right there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They were actually calling him for the seat, expecting the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: quarterback seek, and then we uh hit him with a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: quick jet sweep and uh Bobo puts his floot in
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the ground, goes in there and gets uh beat. It's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: tough and and scores that touchdown. I think, like I said, man,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: great call by Shane. Uh, great blocking up front and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: then Mobo this thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, and now I have touchdowns two straight base the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: rookie White or Skato. Yeah, Uh, it's what we talked about, right.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The process and.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Them just staying in the moment, you know, saying with
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the process.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know early on the.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Season, things you know weren't going as great for him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Uh obviously, like I said, we knew.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: We were gonna have more more opportunities to get them
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the ball and they were gonna be able to step up,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and I think they did. Sure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Is that's part of the nineties team. Yeah, old school.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Oh every thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Under it's not an interception, but you got you a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: jack down the same dage.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something that we gotta clean up. You know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I just gotta be clear with him and huddle to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: make sure that we're on the same page. And uh, you'
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: all do a better job of that. After the game
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: is a message from Shane who how what you was doing?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Take out a couple of ways to do. Yeah, it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is and uh, I mean it's hard. It's the NFL.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's never gonna be easy, and uh, you know, one
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: or two mistakes can cost you a game. But the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: reality is is that we figured it out today and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we gotta do do you know what's he about your
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: run game? And then the combination of you know, of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Wicker and also and why that challenges defenses. Yeah, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: think you got a perfect mixture with those two guys.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Uh. You know, Ken is uh the guy who's gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: make you miss. Uh.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He he can make you miss in the phone booth.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Uh you saw that first run he had. Uh, he's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: got speed, he's got agility.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And then he's powerful.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: He can he can drop the hat on you. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: then you look at you know, you look at Zach
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and you think.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Well, power back. But he's also shifty. So you got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: two guys who you know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Either one of those guys can get out the back
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: door and catch the great and past protection and.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Then with the ball in their hands in space. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: mean that's just as dynamics can be.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And so just really really good to have those guys
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and great to be a party offense with him kind
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of return the favorite to the defense.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Down of course, of course, our defense is playing lights
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: out football, and we gotta continue to uh, you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: reward those guys.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Because you know they're they're really one of the better.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Defenses in football. We got a chance every single week
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: when we have that type of defense, and so, uh,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we know that once we get out to a league
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and we score points they're gonna be able to pass
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: rush today we let them back in the game.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Because we did.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: We weren't consistent throughout, but if we could be consistent
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and continue to put up points, man, we'll we'll we'll
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: be pretty pretty good going away from.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Running game or you know, potionally on that rather than runs.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's just a result of circumstance.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Shane always does a great job of having
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a feel for what they're giving us, and uh, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we needed to get some things going, and so usually
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: when that happens, uh, you know, Shane's gonna either put
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the ball in my hand or you know, obviously getting
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the ball to Ken or Zachar won our running back.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So it was just a circumstance, you know, just a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: circumstantial thing. And overall, like I said, man, if it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: passed a run, we got to execute.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So I felt we did a good job today. Thank you,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you ever
