• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like it does. We do
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: play in the rain a lot. It's just something that
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you just got to do whenever the forecast calls for it.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And we get that a lot in Florida. And then,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you know, we come up here and get it here too.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So it's just both teams have to play in it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is the good thing. So I think it's something that,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you know, you have to just adjust and play in. And,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't let it affect you too much. Obviously,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it can affect play calling a little
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: bit depending on how bad it is. But I thought
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we managed it. Pretty well, besides a couple series in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the second half that weren't great offensively. It'll be some
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: stuff to clean up, but definitely great to get a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: win here. Yeah, great start. I thought offensively for the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: most part we played really good in the first half.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Go back and watch it and see. In the second
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: half we just kind of got in a little bit
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of a lull and didn't play as good, but I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: thought did some great things in the first half. That
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: opening drive was huge just to set the tone, especially
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: when you get the ball first, you know, and if
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you're going to take the ball, like that's something that's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: important is to be able to go and get points
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: right away. I'm not sure. I think just guys, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: being ready to play, um, From the jump, I think
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that's something where I've been on teams before where it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: like we don't necessarily start as fast and we maybe
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: play better in the second half or whatever. I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we're just ready to go from the jump, and it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: something that I think is really important not to get
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: yourself in a hole early, and that's something that we've
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: done a good job of is even if we don't score,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: defense gets a huge stop or a turnover or something
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like that to start the game to where we feel
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: like we're not starting off behind or we're down seven
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: right away, and I think that's been helping.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Us for sure.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah pretty close you know we had josh in the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in the flat there that i could have taken you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: know probably four yards or so right away and then
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they started to rally up to that and i was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: just kind of looking at all my options there and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: i saw nate get in behind the corner which was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: really like a safety like a weird cover to look
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and he just i guess just kind of fell asleep
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on nate sneaking behind him so saw him pretty late
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and I was glad that Nate kept it alive and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: then he stayed up and broke a couple of tackles
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and made.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: A big play.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's just in general, you know, I love Nate.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great player. What he brings to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the table in every aspect, run, pass game, and he's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: making more and more plays in the passing game, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I think is something that obviously there's always a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of talk about when you get new rookies and players.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And I think he's really proven that. that he can
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: do it all. And that's just another example of, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: just having a good feel for the game. You know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily like he went off script and did
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: anything crazy, but he just has a good feel, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: kept the play alive and makes a big play. Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been good as far as scoring offensively.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I think we've done a nice job. Honestly, today should
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have been more. You know, defense gave us a few
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: short fields and we kicked a bunch of field goals.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So that's something that we need to improve on. But
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, continuing that, obviously scoring a lot
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of points is a good thing. And we should continue
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to find ways to get better. There's improvements that need
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to be made. And I think we're all realists enough
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to where we can look at ourselves in the mirror
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and say, this is, you know, we won the game.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: That's what we came here to do. We did some
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: good things, but we do have to improve. And I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: think You look at the stretch coming up, we get
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a few days off here, and then it's go time.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's going to get real, and I think we need
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to make some improvements, and we will, and that needs
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to be the emphasis. The late first half, how did
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that develop? Yeah, it was cover zero. Baltimore does– they've
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of different defensive coordinators, but I feel
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like they've always done a good job of showing a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure, sometimes bringing a lot of pressure, giving
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you some interesting looks, and I think that that was–
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: part of their plan today for sure. And that was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: one where it was cover zero. And so we got
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to the protection check and Parker had a seam and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he just crossed faced on the cover zero safety there
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and made a great play. I saw what he was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: going to do. And so I let it go early and,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, he did a great job winning the route
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and then taking it to the house. It's hard. I,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't get hit. So, I must've done
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a good enough job getting there, but you know, I'll
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: see it on the tape tonight, but you know, in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the game and you know, all you have is the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: pictures on the sideline. It kind of skips, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you miss some stuff. So I'm not sure, but you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he came up to me right after and mentioned it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to me. So, you know, we've got a bunch of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: guys like that that are really aware of their job
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and what they need to do. Thanks guys.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: They had it in there on film. They'd done it
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a couple of times, you know, Red zone-ish and everything. And,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you know, just the feel of the game. Got a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: new quarterback in. But, you know, they're going to give
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: their players the ball in situations they feel that they
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: can make plays. And that's going to be the wildcat
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and the eye candy and stuff. Getting 22 streaking, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: trying to hit the second level and try to have
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: him take over the game that way. So, first play
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: of the game, bam, wildcat. And I made sure I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: told the guys, like, you're going to just expect it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You know, we've got to have our eyes right for
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it because a lot of times they try to, like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: get you kind of low to sleep and normal, normal,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and then boom, wildcat for a whole drive. They can
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: get some positive yards on it. They're going to stay
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: with it until you can stop it. So loved how
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: we played. You know, they had an extra fitter for
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the run scheme when you had that because now the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: quarterback is basically the runner. So it was kind of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: very physical, everybody kind of helping each other out, making
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: sure that we had our gap falling back. Henry's great
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: at running that stretch to finding the open gap on
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the cutback. We talked about that all.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: All week.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So I love how we prepared in the short week
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and really just owned the game plan and understood like
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: it was a strain game from start to finish, strain game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: We had to do our job to make sure we
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: get the lead. Otherwise, you know, it's going to be
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a treacherous run game. So we got the lead. They
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: still did run it the whole time, but I like
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the way we played in the end. It's about stopping
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the run. I see how great our DBs are at
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: breaking on stuff, and we definitely practice our coverages and stuff.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: But it's really anticipation after we get them to throwing downs,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: being able to own.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Coaches do a great job.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Of breaking down film and relaying that information to us,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: what to expect in certain formations. DBs watch extra film,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and then everybody kind of owns their part of the play.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: So when they see XYZ happen, they know this is
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: probably going to happen off of it. And they do
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a great job of catching the ball, but we got
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to get into those throwing down after stopping the run
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and then be opportunistic when we anticipate the plays. And
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: they do a great job of that. Football weather right there.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: You know, we are, we are a gritty team, gritty,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: not pretty, make it as ugly as possible. We got to,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you know, that's football, you know, you go back to
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the 19, whatever that's football, you know, translate over to today.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: If you can own those types of games, you don't
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: want to let those kinds of games slide. So let's
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: make it an advantage for us. Um, Just bring your
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: hard hat and keep playing all the way through the down,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: through the game. So you got to ask the offense
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: if they don't, you know, they're the ball handlers, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: we just see opportunities for turnovers and stuff. They fumble
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: some snaps, handling the ball. If we can own, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: stopping that run, the ball's going to have to come
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: out eventually, yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: First game without the ball, and then we get the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: test with Derrick Henry and all that stuff.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: How do you guys deal with that?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to keep building, keep building, keep leaning
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: on each other, Everybody has, I wouldn't say slack to
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: pick up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: We're going to keep owning our job.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: But every time, you know, the ball is put in
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: the running back's hand, it's important that we're all doing
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: our job. And Devon was a great player, is a
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: great player, and we're going to miss him. But, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: it's on us to make these calls come to life
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and be successful in them. We still have a high
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: standard for whoever steps in. Everybody needs to do their
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: job just a little bit better, and we're going to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: keep building. As the year goes on, we all want
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: to be better at the end of the year than
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we are in the beginning of the year. So it's just–
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: keep putting our best foot forward and understanding that we
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: all need to lean on each other and trust each
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: other and keep hunting how we do. Just that little phrase, anytime, anyone, anywhere,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: or something like that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It's really, it's us, man. Like, just put the ball down,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: spot the ball.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: We got an opportunity to play, play another down, play
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: a game, you know. And nobody cares about what goes
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: on until that ball is played.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Like, all y'all judging is, you know, what it looks
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: like then and there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: So let's erase outside stuff. Play for each other. Play
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: for our brothers. We have one standard and one way
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to play. And I think that, you know, we do
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: a good job of coming in a building. We're pretty
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: close in the building. And it's kind of funny the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: way that we always jaunt on each other and stuff
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: like that. But it's building that culture, you know, that
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: kind of chip on our shoulder mentality. No matter what
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: people are going to say, positive, negative, we have a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: chip on our shoulder to prove every day the type
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of team that we want to be and we show.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So it came out today, but we got another opportunity
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: next week. We got to keep improving because as fast
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they love you, as fast they hate you. So we
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: all know that we've been through a lot here as
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a team. A lot of the leaders on the team
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: have been through a lot. We keep relaying that to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the young guys, making sure that they're ready whenever their
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: time is called because it's not sweet.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So we can make it sweet when we keep winning.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So we got to keep doing that. Is that what
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you're stressing?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Because, like, it's wins I love. Nah, see, you got
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: me fucked up. See my language. Yeah, it's, you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you win and it feels great. We can't let wins
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: mask stuff. We always got stuff to improve.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: We learn.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I've been here a while. Went through winning, winning, winning.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And one season we let a lot slide because we
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: were winning. So we got to keep learning in wins
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: and stuff because it's all about who's playing the best
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: in December.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And then you make that run, what, January, February, make
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that run.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: So we got to keep improving all the way through
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the year, get the advantageous situation going into the playoffs.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But right now, we kind of focus on getting better
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: every week. And we've got to keep winning games in
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: order to get there. So that's kind of what we
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: relay to the young guys and the old guys, kind
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of know it's a test every week, and we've got
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: to keep passing them.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Thanks for it. All right. Thank you, guys.
