  Speaker 1: Good evening.

  Speaker 2: You to some part hits, serve that and if you're
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: feeling okay or yeah, I'll be fine getting ready for
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: What did you what did the the fourth Dayn't play
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: where they call Alliot Tyler? What what did you see there?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: What they said that he picked the guy?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I think you probably could see, we all could see
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: he made no contact with the guy. But you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in a situation like that, critical drive like that, you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: that's kind of sometimes the difference in these games, you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and fortunately the rest got that control, got that power.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: What are your words to the beeing at you importing that?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, just keep playing. You know, it's really no words
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to say. Man, we're all in this thing together. You know,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we don't expect things to be easy. Adversity, UH is
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a good thing, especially early in the season, and so
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for us to come out the way that we did
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in the second half, and uh, you can see the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: fight that we have on this team, the resiliency we
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: have on this team, and just the type of men
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: in that locker room, you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Know, the way that they all fight for one another.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: You know, we got ourselves back in the game and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: gave ourselves a shot at the end. And uh, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that's really all you can ask for when you when
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you start.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Out like that, Like what do you think?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're just a group of bad and efforts. Man,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that's just the type of guys we got on this team.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And no one, uh, no one had any doubt, you know.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing that you know, you could see
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: when we walked out there on that field. Uh, we
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: were down fourteen, but there was no doubt that we
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: were gonna give ourselves a chance to win. Unfortunately, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we didn't do enough. I didn't do enough to get
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that done. But it's one game, move on.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Go to next week.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: What did Walmart?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You guys said, Oh, man, he's special. He's special. Man.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: You see the plays that he's making.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think any other running back could you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: do some of the stuff that he's doing. I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised every time he makes, you know, one of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: those just crazy plays. And you know, to have him
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and Zach back there, to have that one T one
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: two punch and uh, to be able to utilize both
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of those guys within our offense, that just makes us
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that much better. And so just having can uh back man.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's great. You know, I just enjoy having
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: them on our team. That's something you saw, Yeah, I mean,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you know, at a certain point, you know, you just
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got to try and make a play, and you know, coach,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you know call some plays that we're a little bit
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: longer developing.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: H we needed that at the time. And you know, uh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Aidan rochesster man.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: He he's getting up the field pretty fast and they
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: were getting a pretty solid rush and so just being
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: able to step up and help our tackles and get
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: up and out in the pocket and then you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: create something on the scramble, whether that was on the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: move or pulling up, you know, just trying to make
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a play and give us a shot there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Uh. I just think that's how the game unfolded. You know.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Obviously we want to be aggressive. You know, that's something
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that we always want to do. And you know, when
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you're behind in the game. Coach Grubb, he has tremendous
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: uh confidence in us and and and myself, and uh
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you know, I have no problem with him putting the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: putting the game in my hand. You know, I'm I'm
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: actually hoping for that every time I go out there
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and so uh, you know, whenever that's the situation, man,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Gotta do what I gotta do to make the right place.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Hats off to the old line man.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of pass protection out there against a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a really good defensive line, and uh, I thought they
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: played tremendous and and it really gave.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Us a shot. Snap. Yeah, we were uh, we were,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, down on the clock right there.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Really I was thinking either you know, in that situation,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably not best to use your time out.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So I was just gonna take it d take a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: delay right there and just take the five yards and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: give ourselves a shot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Uh. You know, Connor saw the clock running down and uh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you know, his instincts kicked in. He snapped it. Uh,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and you know that was that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, we were kind of scrambling ba but basically
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: became scramble drill at that point. Uh just looked up
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and the clock was down, you know, it was just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: low and uh I we had a shift on it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: You know, we just had d didn't have a chance
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to really get the playoff at the time.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Did you go back backs?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: They just compared last year, how much more style department
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was good. Ah, it wasn't that hostile. You know, we
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was out there doing our thing as you can see,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But uh, hats off to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Lions. Man, they beat us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Today, exceeded, uh as says he h.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: No, you know, we're three and one, that's what it says.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And now we gotta get onto the next one. You know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that's just Football's NFL football, you kN you know, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: think the only talk only team that went undefeated was
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: seventy two Docins. So you know, we're just trying to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: go out there and win every game we can. And uh,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, today we didn't get it done, but that's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: why we got next week. So we're gonna improve and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and get back on it and get ready for next week.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You're working, Oh, you're working.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think about like two weeks, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago, Grub put it in and you know
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: he was just ready, you know, getting it ready for
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the right moment, and he.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Called it at the at the perfect time. I thought
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the execution was great.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Jackson had a great throw out there and uh Zach
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: got up there and made the first down.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I thought all around was a great player. You guys
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: fourteen yards in this game. What are you great suit?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, I I I'm seeing, first of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: all starts with protection. You know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Actually it starts with grub calling a great call and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: then obviously getting up to the line of scrimmage, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: setting a protection and then you know, think about thirty fourteen, right,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: those are longer situations. Players have gotta develop, right, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: gotta get to the sticks if if not, get close
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to 'em.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So the lines gotta you know, protect for a little bit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And so I thought the protection was.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Great on those situations and then obviously a couple of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: 'em where you know, I was able to scramble and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: make some plays on uh with my legs and uh
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: give us some extra time. And I thought the receivers
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: did a great job a you know, finding windows and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: getting to the right spot and.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, it's just all around great execution by everybody.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, uh man aj AJ's growing up in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the past two weeks. Just you can see his confidence growing,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and it was great for him to get his for
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: touchdown tonight. I think he's gonna continue to excel and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: continue to get better, you know, he's a guy that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we're gonna count on, and so, uh, it was great
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to see them that happened for him. Did you like
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to did you like going to you? Then?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Did you before?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I did think he caught the first one. I have to,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, go back and check it. But I you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I thought he got his feet in and then you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, coach said go for two.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We go for two. Uh. I like, I like the confidence.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing wrong with that. Uh. We just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: got to execute it and get it done for him.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Anything else. Thank you, guys, Thank you
