Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, once you looked at the tape and everything, how
- 0:01Speaker 1: do you guys play up front?
- 0:05Speaker 2: Room for improvement, But I thought we played well. We
- 0:07Speaker 2: played well enough to win.
- 0:10Speaker 3: But I know, since you know later in the season,
- 0:13Speaker 3: the better the team, the more details we have to
- 0:15Speaker 3: really keen into upfront. That's rushing, the passions, that's stopping
- 0:19Speaker 3: and run as well. So I think there's areas where
- 0:21Speaker 3: we improve on. But it was a good start, you know,
- 0:23Speaker 3: a good building point from moving forward.
- 0:25Speaker 1: How different is this week from game playing from who
- 0:28Speaker 1: you're playing the experience of those.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Guys on the other side, I mean about to play
- 0:32Speaker 3: against a very explosive offense. Offense I like to throw
- 0:36Speaker 3: the ball, but also has a good running back and
- 0:38Speaker 3: also can run the ball as well too. So stopping
- 0:40Speaker 3: and run is you know priorty number one first and
- 0:43Speaker 3: foremost and make them one dimensional. But again you still
- 0:46Speaker 3: make them one dimensional. They still have playmakers that can
- 0:49Speaker 3: that's what they want to do. So you know, us
- 0:53Speaker 3: up front, it's a it's a big game for us,
- 0:55Speaker 3: and we can dial in and hone into what we
- 0:57Speaker 3: need to do responsibility wise and the physic the cality
- 1:00Speaker 3: like that.
- 1:00Speaker 2: We like to play with you know, we'll we'll have
- 1:04Speaker 2: a good game.
- 1:05Speaker 4: How different road game, but it.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Can be the opposite as well. We don't dolland we
- 1:09Speaker 3: don't do that, it'll be a bad game.
- 1:11Speaker 4: So how different road games?
- 1:13Speaker 5: What can you learn about a team first road game
- 1:14Speaker 5: of the year.
- 1:17Speaker 3: You know, I think that I think the difference is
- 1:20Speaker 3: like we're on actual timing now, you know, we're wake
- 1:23Speaker 3: up from the hotel. The bus leads at this time,
- 1:25Speaker 3: so more regimented. But I think again, we have a
- 1:28Speaker 3: locker room full of guys that have done it before.
- 1:30Speaker 3: We've had a lot of experience during the preseason of
- 1:33Speaker 3: how you know the young guys can kind of manage
- 1:35Speaker 3: their time. And you know, we're looking forward to this
- 1:38Speaker 3: away game. You know, we all get to be together,
- 1:41Speaker 3: you know, we land there, we can go to dinner
- 1:43Speaker 3: or something, just connect, you know, as a brotherhood. And
- 1:45Speaker 3: then you know, finish our night with meetings with up
- 1:48Speaker 3: early in the morning ready to play some football.
- 1:50Speaker 2: And yeah, gosh, there's.
- 1:52Speaker 6: Always weird results and weird things that happen in Week
- 1:55Speaker 6: one of the NFL season.
- 1:56Speaker 5: So when you're looking at the Bengals, how much do you.
- 1:59Speaker 7: Look at last week's tape and just try and maybe
- 2:01Speaker 7: take that one another great assault.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like you gotta you gotta look
- 2:05Speaker 2: at that player.
- 2:06Speaker 3: You gotta look at there, But then you also got
- 2:08Speaker 3: to look at the defense that they're playing against and
- 2:10Speaker 3: really compare how much does that defense play what we
- 2:14Speaker 3: play when we look at you know, the Browns, they're
- 2:17Speaker 3: very aggressive up front. They like to attack, so they
- 2:20Speaker 3: had a lot of schematic players to kind of offset
- 2:23Speaker 3: them a little bit.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And we gotta you know, we can't expect the same players.
- 2:27Speaker 3: But we can expect what we do up front, how
- 2:30Speaker 3: they trying to get how they're trying to scheme to
- 2:31Speaker 3: get us out of gaps, out of alignment, and uh
- 2:34Speaker 3: so we have to be you know, be aware of
- 2:36Speaker 3: that and know that it's gonna happen. But again, be
- 2:39Speaker 3: physical upfront, you know, getting off back, handle the run,
- 2:43Speaker 3: make them one dimensional, and have our pass rushers rush
- 2:46Speaker 3: and have our dvs cover rush to cover baby. And
- 2:49Speaker 3: they got a hell of a player over there too.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Actually that can that can go win the games. So
- 2:55Speaker 3: even more touch the details that we have to be with.
- 2:58Speaker 6: I just mentioned know that those think of a world player,
- 3:03Speaker 6: maybe it's Jarry and maybe it's nice and whoever's going
- 3:05Speaker 6: up against these kind of moments that you don't get
- 3:08Speaker 6: him every week in the NFL, but to really make
- 3:10Speaker 6: a name for yourself.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Man, at the end of the day, you know, I
- 3:13Speaker 3: trust that they're gonna do what they need to do
- 3:14Speaker 3: in the back end, but that puts a bigger emphasis
- 3:17Speaker 3: up front that we got to get there. We got
- 3:19Speaker 3: to help him out. No matter he could just throw
- 3:22Speaker 3: the ball up fifty fifty balls to anybody else can
- 3:24Speaker 3: be you know, him a higher statistic both those guys.
- 3:28Speaker 2: So upfront, we have to do our job. Plus two well.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Plus one, I'm not gonna say plus two brought back memory,
- 3:35Speaker 3: so plus one and uh, you know we got to
- 3:40Speaker 3: get after.
- 3:40Speaker 8: Him in the upfront.
- 3:41Speaker 4: What would it mean?
- 3:42Speaker 2: I mean, how you caught it? Caught it?
- 3:46Speaker 9: Yeah, we ain't catch it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Now he's starting, he got it.
- 3:58Speaker 4: What would it mean for the team to move the two?
- 3:59Speaker 5: And would be the first time since twenty eighteen that
- 4:02Speaker 5: the Jaguars were too and the start season, I.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Mean, you know that's the goal. We go down there
- 4:07Speaker 3: to win. We play every week to win, and you
- 4:11Speaker 3: know we're preparing for that. You know, I don't want
- 4:13Speaker 3: to you know, hopeful thinking, you know we're going to win.
- 4:16Speaker 9: We're gonna win.
- 4:16Speaker 3: We gotta go out there and got to earn the win.
- 4:18Speaker 3: That was very hard to win a nasketball league. We
- 4:20Speaker 3: all understand that. Hell, it's even hard to lose, you know.
- 4:25Speaker 3: So if we can dial in and again stop the run,
- 4:29Speaker 3: making one dimensional, defensively do what we do best, and
- 4:32Speaker 3: then offensively control the ball. Think we do a great
- 4:35Speaker 3: job of controlling the ball and taking advantage running the
- 4:38Speaker 3: ball well and uh, you know, making our making sure
- 4:42Speaker 3: our receivers get the ball a little bit and take
- 4:44Speaker 3: advantage of that.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Is it tough to see one of your guys traded?
- 4:47Speaker 5: I mean, Tank, you kind of changes to the fabrick of
- 4:49Speaker 5: the locker room all it has been.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Here a few years.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I love taking man. He was a he's
- 4:52Speaker 3: a heck of a teammate. You know, he will be missed,
- 4:55Speaker 3: but he's a guy that I constantly talk to a
- 4:57Speaker 3: lot on a daily basis. You know, we had a
- 4:59Speaker 3: call right after I got the news. We got on
- 5:02Speaker 3: the phone, and you know, we try to talk positive,
- 5:04Speaker 3: keep it positive and keep that you know, what's what's
- 5:07Speaker 3: positive on both sides of the ball and what's positive
- 5:09Speaker 3: for him.
- 5:10Speaker 2: He's going to a.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Situation where you know, he's going to be able to
- 5:13Speaker 3: play and you know, play on the platform where you know,
- 5:18Speaker 3: the Eagles are brought to be national television every week,
- 5:21Speaker 3: and that's going to a big showcase for him. So, uh,
- 5:24Speaker 3: not miss those moments and not living in the past
- 5:26Speaker 3: and just be where your feet are and take advantage
- 5:28Speaker 3: of the moment.
- 5:29Speaker 7: You could talk to the young guys, you know, two
- 5:31Speaker 7: young backs about seize the opportunity of it's here.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Of course as well.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Of course, man, I think, I think, I mean, I
- 5:36Speaker 3: think they've they've done it. They're doing it right now.
- 5:39Speaker 3: The you know, you know, you look at the quick
- 5:43Speaker 3: you know he's a late round guy and you'd.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Be like, all right, we already got four. Maybe he'll
- 5:47Speaker 2: be the first one out.
- 5:49Speaker 9: Nah.
- 5:49Speaker 3: He competed every single play. You know, when you look
- 5:51Speaker 3: at training camp, you look at it, you know all
- 5:53Speaker 3: the players that he's taking His past blocking skills is
- 5:56Speaker 3: some of the best I've seen out of a young guy.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I think he understands and he's also a tough running
- 6:01Speaker 3: back too. Uh, you've seen him the plays that he
- 6:03Speaker 3: made during the same game. I loved it jumping over guys,
- 6:06Speaker 3: trying to make some shaking and you look at uh,
- 6:09Speaker 3: you look at two him.
- 6:10Speaker 8: I mean, I think he's.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Gonna be a very special running back. And then that's
- 6:14Speaker 3: really for a very long time. And then and you
- 6:16Speaker 3: had Travis in there, man, and a guy that can
- 6:18Speaker 3: do it all, can catch, can block, can run in
- 6:21Speaker 3: between chapters, can take it outside pitch and go on
- 6:24Speaker 3: hunt it.
- 6:26Speaker 2: So I think we got a good we got a
- 6:28Speaker 2: good special group.
- 6:29Speaker 9: Man.
- 6:29Speaker 3: But those guys are dialed the man, they were locked in.
- 6:31Speaker 3: They want the ball too, So it's exciting to see.
- 6:33Speaker 9: I was just out of very strange.
- 6:35Speaker 8: I feel like I just reminded me of my rookie year,
- 6:37Speaker 8: my second year when h James got traded. Uh. Just
- 6:40Speaker 8: the nature the NFL is just uh just the business
- 6:43Speaker 8: for real.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Uh.
- 6:44Speaker 8: I feel like easily could have been could have been
- 6:46Speaker 8: any one of us. Uh, and it just it just happened,
- 6:49Speaker 8: you know. So I mean we have to just keep
- 6:51Speaker 8: going in the thick of the season and uh wish
- 6:53Speaker 8: the best for him. Know he's gonna do great things.
- 6:55Speaker 8: He's behind a great old line now and a great situation,
- 6:57Speaker 8: so uh great, Just thanking for him and uh, knowing
- 7:00Speaker 8: that he's happy in the situation.
- 7:02Speaker 1: You guys build a bond obviously coming out of camp
- 7:05Speaker 1: all those things. I mean, does it kind of stun.
- 7:06Speaker 6: It a little bit at first when you just settling
- 7:08Speaker 6: into the early part of the season.
- 7:10Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, but I feel like I just
- 7:13Speaker 8: just being my figure in the NFL.
- 7:15Speaker 9: I don't know if anything stunts you no more.
- 7:17Speaker 8: You know, you just kind of expect the unexpected at
- 7:21Speaker 8: this point and you kind of just gotta roll with it.
- 7:23Speaker 8: I mean, it's not on me to I'm at the GM,
- 7:27Speaker 8: I can't make those moves, and I just gotta roll
- 7:29Speaker 8: with it. At the end of the day, the GM
- 7:32Speaker 8: don't care how I feel about the situation. So I
- 7:35Speaker 8: just gotta continue to put myself in a position and
- 7:37Speaker 8: just be the best of it I can be for myself.
- 7:39Speaker 6: What do you see from those young guys and have
- 7:41Speaker 6: seeing that they're ready to take kind of big or
- 7:44Speaker 6: roll now behind you.
- 7:46Speaker 8: Just the willingness to be coachable, for they're very coachable. Uh,
- 7:49Speaker 8: there are sponges. They're soaking information each and every day,
- 7:52Speaker 8: and they got the willingness and want to get better
- 7:55Speaker 8: each and every day. And I feel like, long as
- 7:56Speaker 8: you have that growth mindset that coach I'm preaching, you're gonna.
- 7:59Speaker 9: Be able to do great things in this league.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Was your game the other day, whether you meant it
- 8:05Speaker 1: to be or not, a statement game for you?
- 8:08Speaker 8: I mean I wouldn't say stay in games. Uh if
- 8:11Speaker 8: I've been playing football for a very long time. Uh
- 8:14Speaker 8: just uh just does a statement for my old line.
- 8:17Speaker 8: I feel like I can't do any of that without them.
- 8:19Speaker 8: And uh, I feel like a running back to the
- 8:20Speaker 8: refection of his O line and uh, they had great
- 8:23Speaker 8: hosts for me to run through. So I just give
- 8:25Speaker 8: all the credit to them, and UH really appreciate them.
- 8:28Speaker 2: And and you guys con.
- 8:29Speaker 8: Teaged, I guys kids just being disciplined, trusting those guys,
- 8:31Speaker 8: and uh, great things will happen.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And I'm sure you heard the rumors or you know
- 8:36Speaker 1: about the potentially being traded in the off season earlier.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Did that bother you? And what do you what did
- 8:42Speaker 4: you make about that?
- 8:43Speaker 8: I mean, I feel like for me, I just focused
- 8:46Speaker 8: on being the best version of myself cause I know
- 8:48Speaker 8: who I am when I'm healthy, and I know that
- 8:50Speaker 8: anyone is lead because he was a player like me.
- 8:52Speaker 8: So whether I was here, whether I was someone else,
- 8:55Speaker 8: You're just gonna get the best version of me. And uh,
- 8:57Speaker 8: it didn't matter where I was. And uh, I just
- 8:59Speaker 8: approached with that mindset, and I was ready for my
- 9:01Speaker 8: opportunities whenever they came.
- 9:02Speaker 9: When the coach is talking all she's about the running
- 9:05Speaker 9: game or game, Zach, just give me confidence when he's
- 9:09Speaker 9: preacheting what he's kind of trying.
- 9:10Speaker 8: To you, guys, I mean, yeah, and no, I feel like
- 9:13Speaker 8: I mean, y'all all know how it.
- 9:14Speaker 9: Is an NFL. It's a week to week basis.
- 9:16Speaker 8: Uh, No one whenever the game picked off, no one
- 9:19Speaker 8: cared what happened last week. So we can't build the
- 9:22Speaker 8: fast in security just off of what happened last week.
- 9:25Speaker 8: We got to come in each and every day, work
- 9:27Speaker 8: hard and put great things. Uh just put out put
- 9:30Speaker 8: a foot one foot and for it another so whenever
- 9:33Speaker 8: we get out there, we put the work in so
- 9:35Speaker 8: we're able to go out there and repeat it again.
- 9:36Speaker 8: Anybody could do it once.
- 9:38Speaker 1: People to learn how to be even keeled like this
- 9:40Speaker 1: takes the ege and four us in this league. I mean,
- 9:42Speaker 1: do you think you handle all this stuff now just
- 9:46Speaker 1: as well four years ago or is it something that
- 9:48Speaker 1: you learned now.
- 9:49Speaker 4: I feel kind of about this.
- 9:50Speaker 8: I throughout my whole career. I feel like, uh, last
- 9:53Speaker 8: year really humbled me a lot, just coming off of
- 9:55Speaker 8: back to back one thousand yard seasons and uh, just
- 9:58Speaker 8: understanding that it's the NFL, Like I just kind of
- 10:00Speaker 8: just know going into that year is gonna be a
- 10:03Speaker 8: great year, because all my years having great to that point,
- 10:06Speaker 8: and like that just kind of humbled me. And just
- 10:08Speaker 8: knowing that it's a week to week each and every week,
- 10:10Speaker 8: and knowing that nothing is promised. NFL stands not for long,
- 10:13Speaker 8: so I have to come in here and just make
- 10:15Speaker 8: the most of my opportunities. And uh, just having guys
- 10:17Speaker 8: behind you who are hungry, competition that pushes you. So
- 10:20Speaker 8: it's just grateful just to be here, thankful for the
- 10:22Speaker 8: opportunities that getting. I just gotta keep making the most
- 10:24Speaker 8: of them.
- 10:24Speaker 7: Get a lot of reaction, family friends texting me about
- 10:28Speaker 7: that at one point.
- 10:29Speaker 10: H yeah, I had a family of reaching out, you know,
- 10:32Speaker 10: not just for that one play, but you know, all
- 10:34Speaker 10: my players in there just getting into the game, you know,
- 10:36Speaker 10: congratulating me on all the works.
- 10:38Speaker 9: That's playing off.
- 10:39Speaker 10: So I just got to keep building on a stacking
- 10:41Speaker 10: on it and you know the train gonna keep going?
- 10:44Speaker 7: Is your vision kind of what one of the things
- 10:46Speaker 7: that you pride yourself in and how big your vision is?
- 10:48Speaker 9: Oh?
- 10:48Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I will say so. I work on it
- 10:50Speaker 10: every day in and out of practice. The way we
- 10:53Speaker 10: run the ball, the holder are supposed to be looking
- 10:55Speaker 10: at defenders, we're looking at So that's one thing I
- 10:57Speaker 10: try to, you know, harp on every time I get
- 11:00Speaker 10: the ball, and I think I'm doing pretty well at it.
- 11:02Speaker 7: How about kick return? Are you ready for that? I mean,
- 11:04Speaker 7: coach mentioned that you're in the mix now to be
- 11:06Speaker 7: the kickoff return.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:08Speaker 4: I like that.
- 11:09Speaker 10: I did it, you know, my junior college, so I
- 11:13Speaker 10: have some experience on it. I'm just looking forward to
- 11:15Speaker 10: going out there. Just like offense, special teams is important
- 11:18Speaker 10: as well, just as important for me. So going out
- 11:20Speaker 10: there and performing is my sole duty.
- 11:23Speaker 11: Just excited to get back out there as one and
- 11:25Speaker 11: oh team, keep stacking games as defense.
- 11:28Speaker 5: I know you're not huge on the individual achievements part
- 11:31Speaker 5: of it right now, but I mean, how nice is
- 11:33Speaker 5: it to kind of get recognized on that like NFL
- 11:35Speaker 5: stage for what you're able to do?
- 11:37Speaker 11: Yeah? It's definitely good. It feels good for sure, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 11: but it's a testament to everybody. You know, we gotta
- 11:46Speaker 11: win the game, for one. It seems like to get
- 11:47Speaker 11: that award never won. I've won an NFC a couple
- 11:50Speaker 11: of times. Never in the AFC.
- 11:51Speaker 4: That was. I felt real good. I was talking to
- 11:53Speaker 4: Josh about it last year. How hard it is. You know,
- 11:55Speaker 4: got so many prolific players over here and stuff.
- 11:57Speaker 11: So obviously starting off the season playing well as a
- 12:00Speaker 11: defense that felt good, and then getting awarded for it.
- 12:03Speaker 11: I feel like I was more of a team award
- 12:04Speaker 11: than than really mine, cause I feel like everybody kind
- 12:06Speaker 11: of helped get it. Everybody was balling that day, So
- 12:09Speaker 11: whoever they wanted to give it to, I feel like
- 12:10Speaker 11: we deserved it as a as a Jedguar defense.
- 12:12Speaker 4: How much of a test was this beg of offense?
- 12:15Speaker 11: Uh, it's good. You know, they got a prolific guys
- 12:17Speaker 11: from the outside. Obviously, the quarterback's real good, linemen are big,
- 12:21Speaker 11: running back dangerous, so uh, hands full, But you know,
- 12:24Speaker 11: we gotta keep on stacking on what we showed from
- 12:26Speaker 11: week one to week two.
- 12:27Speaker 9: Get better. Uh.
- 12:29Speaker 11: We already talked about that even right after the game ended.
- 12:31Speaker 11: Let's just get better, keep this going through the through
- 12:33Speaker 11: the year. I'm excited to see how we can keep
- 12:35Speaker 11: going to the defense.
- 12:37Speaker 8: I want.
- 12:38Speaker 6: So obviously teams the team like you bet, we were
- 12:41Speaker 6: up for the years and meantil together us.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's gotta feel good, right, I mean
- 12:46Speaker 1: for people to recognized remember Thursday.
- 12:48Speaker 11: That the same fix, Yeah exactly, and then somebody went
- 12:51Speaker 11: off as a defensive lineman went off that week too,
- 12:54Speaker 11: So that's what I was saying.
- 12:55Speaker 4: I remember Thursday.
- 12:56Speaker 11: I was like, well, I had a good week, and
- 12:57Speaker 11: then somebody else went off on a Sunday or Monday.
- 12:59Speaker 4: I was like, nah, it's tough over here.
- 13:00Speaker 11: But kind of like I'm saying, since I came to Jacksonville,
- 13:04Speaker 11: coming to this AFC, understanding who I'm playing against, I
- 13:07Speaker 11: think all we can do really is focus inward and
- 13:09Speaker 11: try to get better ourselves, and then as we win
- 13:11Speaker 11: more games and as we become a great defense, all
- 13:15Speaker 11: that stuff's gonna come with it. So obviously we played great.
- 13:17Speaker 11: We got an award, So that's why I say it's
- 13:19Speaker 11: like a team award. Obviously I got I came on
- 13:21Speaker 11: the plus side with them, turnovers and stuff, and I
- 13:22Speaker 11: want to keep doing that for the team. We're harping
- 13:24Speaker 11: on getting turnovers and stuff, but keep playing hard. I've
- 13:26Speaker 11: always played hard, and like I said, get our eyes back.
- 13:29Speaker 11: We're around the ball a lot more. And I want
- 13:32Speaker 11: I told myself, I want to be more of a
- 13:33Speaker 11: playmaker this year. Keep getting the ball back for the
- 13:35Speaker 11: boy A win. I always want to get better. I
- 13:39Speaker 11: like winning and then practice. You're excited to get better
- 13:42Speaker 11: after winning. So we are just have practice and I'm
- 13:46Speaker 11: already thinking about stuff we could have done better out there.
- 13:49Speaker 4: And that's kind of my heads out with that. What's
- 13:51Speaker 4: Burro like free snap?
- 13:53Speaker 9: What makes him so good when there's pressure coming?
- 13:56Speaker 11: Yeah, it seems like he knows where the pressure's coming.
- 13:57Speaker 11: Does a good stuff with like his hard accounts and stuff,
- 14:00Speaker 11: and understand where his hots are. A lot of quick
- 14:02Speaker 11: game that can turn in a deep game. So the
- 14:04Speaker 11: ball can come out right now if he needs he does.
- 14:06Speaker 11: He's not scared to check the ball down if he
- 14:08Speaker 11: needs to, because you know he has dangerous skill on
- 14:10Speaker 11: the outside. So get the balls to the playmakers and
- 14:12Speaker 11: then obviously they can do what they do. So it's
- 14:14Speaker 11: gonna be on us to match that and make sure
- 14:16Speaker 11: we keep our rush lane so we can't extend plays
- 14:18Speaker 11: and stuff.
- 14:19Speaker 4: But really, team defenses is a way to go.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Coach Cohen said.
- 14:22Speaker 5: That with the playmakers they got, you gotta prepare for
- 14:24Speaker 5: the adversity. They'll probably make a play at some point.
- 14:26Speaker 5: How do you prepare for that? You know, at some
- 14:29Speaker 5: point one of those guys might go up and make
- 14:31Speaker 5: like a crazy play. You did everything right and they
- 14:33Speaker 5: just go.
- 14:34Speaker 9: Up and do something. But you gotta play, keep playing, right.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Yeah, we're competitors at the end of the day.
- 14:38Speaker 11: We compete to have them not make those plays, and
- 14:40Speaker 11: if they do, that's competes and have them not making
- 14:42Speaker 11: them again. They're you know, great players in their own right,
- 14:46Speaker 11: but I think we have great players as well.
- 14:47Speaker 4: So really our.
- 14:48Speaker 11: Mindset is compete to have them not make those plays,
- 14:50Speaker 11: and if they make them, don't let it happen again.
- 14:53Speaker 11: And then, you know, all the way through the game,
- 14:55Speaker 11: just be competitive.
- 14:57Speaker 6: Differentiate with Travis this last months, a few months that
- 15:02Speaker 6: maybe led.
- 15:03Speaker 1: To this kind of performance and what he's doing right.
- 15:05Speaker 4: Now testament to the whole offensive line as well.
- 15:07Speaker 11: But Traves, my dog man, I've been talking with Travis
- 15:09Speaker 11: real close this whole off season, so and he was
- 15:13Speaker 11: on my Winter Dog team, but I've been talking with
- 15:15Speaker 11: him and making sure his head was right and competing
- 15:17Speaker 11: and running, and he's talking to us about the whole
- 15:19Speaker 11: new scheme and stuff. And I've talked to him about
- 15:21Speaker 11: backs that I've seen maybe if you used to watch
- 15:23Speaker 11: and stuff, and he'll come to me like, oh I
- 15:24Speaker 11: think I should, I'm like, yeah, I would have worked.
- 15:26Speaker 4: So uh. He's been a real student of the game.
- 15:29Speaker 11: He's been coming in earlier, doing more with his body
- 15:31Speaker 11: and stuff, being a real pro, which I'm not saying
- 15:33Speaker 11: he wasn't before, but it's been really cool to see
- 15:35Speaker 11: his growth as a player in this league, and then
- 15:37Speaker 11: obviously for it to come out with the big game
- 15:39Speaker 11: like he did, you know, if you're gonna stay on it,
- 15:42Speaker 11: And then obviously I'm going to credit off in the
- 15:43Speaker 11: line they've been blocking since OTA, since training camp. I'm like, man,
- 15:48Speaker 11: y'all blocking a little different, so keep doing that.
- 15:50Speaker 9: I'm just excited for the for the matchup. It's the
- 15:52Speaker 9: next one.
- 15:52Speaker 12: So when your next one got to be the best one,
- 15:54Speaker 12: So you don't really excited for the matchup you.
- 15:56Speaker 9: Play against stars in this league every weed yeah right.
- 16:00Speaker 1: But sometimes it's magnified even more.
- 16:02Speaker 4: You feel like this is.
- 16:03Speaker 1: An opportunity to showcase who you guys are as a
- 16:06Speaker 1: defense or who you are as a corner.
- 16:08Speaker 9: Yeah of course.
- 16:09Speaker 12: Uh obviously you know they have a great guy quarterback
- 16:12Speaker 12: and uh to uh good receivers. So you know, anytime
- 16:15Speaker 12: you get to, you know, have one of those matchups
- 16:17Speaker 12: and you get to go do it out against them,
- 16:18Speaker 12: uh obviously, you know, you get a different type of edge,
- 16:21Speaker 12: you know, for those games. So uh, you know, I'm
- 16:23Speaker 12: just really really excited to go and do it with
- 16:25Speaker 12: my brothers.
- 16:25Speaker 4: How did you do on Sunday?
- 16:28Speaker 1: I'll be outside.
- 16:29Speaker 12: Uh I think I uh a made some plays and
- 16:31Speaker 12: uh obviously you know it's some of them that you know,
- 16:34Speaker 12: wish you could have back. But I think the more
- 16:36Speaker 12: comfortable that I get, uh, you know, going back to
- 16:39Speaker 12: my natural position, and you know what I'm saying, more fun,
- 16:41Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying, to be uh obviously you know,
- 16:44Speaker 12: uh some of the small nuances from being inside and
- 16:47Speaker 12: going back outside. Uh excellent, as far as like where's
- 16:51Speaker 12: the ball gonna be?
- 16:52Speaker 9: And you know what I'm saying, it is your relation
- 16:53Speaker 9: to the route.
- 16:54Speaker 12: Obviously it's different, but you know, I'm having a lot
- 16:57Speaker 12: of fun doing it, and uh, my coach trusts me
- 16:58Speaker 12: go get a job done.
- 16:59Speaker 9: So I think that's my folks every week.
- 17:01Speaker 4: What's mentality you gotta bring for a road game.
- 17:03Speaker 9: In the NFL?
- 17:05Speaker 12: Shits me like, I I ain't no mentality, no nothing like.
- 17:08Speaker 12: I live with this every day. So and I think
- 17:10Speaker 12: my brothers do it too. So I mean, I don't
- 17:13Speaker 12: think it's like a different mentality that you bring. I
- 17:15Speaker 12: just think it's doing with your practice every.
- 17:16Speaker 9: Day as a defense.
- 17:17Speaker 5: Do you look forward to going into like and quiet
- 17:19Speaker 5: in the crowd in the other people's stadiums?
- 17:21Speaker 9: I look forward to going against anybody with eyebrows.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Start to think exactly, exactly exactly what's it mean in
- 17:39Speaker 1: this room to guys like Fourer et n have the
- 17:42Speaker 1: days that they had to been around this single while
- 17:44Speaker 1: I've been around you guys leaders in the locker room?
- 17:46Speaker 4: Does it mean something to everybody else?
- 17:48Speaker 12: While so Hay see uh Foyer going cras out there,
- 17:51Speaker 12: and it's crazy because I've seen him make those exact
- 17:53Speaker 12: same plays and practice every single day. I've seen et
- 17:57Speaker 12: he practiced hard as like Hardert Hell, Like he finishes
- 18:00Speaker 12: runs really really hard, you know, just to see him
- 18:03Speaker 12: do it in the game. And I was really really
- 18:04Speaker 12: excited for those guys. And you know what I'm saying,
- 18:06Speaker 12: they're just gonna continue because that's what they practice every day.
- 18:08Speaker 9: So you know, I was excited for those guys.
