• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It feels great, just momentum for our whole team. Um. Obviously,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the month of October wasn't our best our best month
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: if you just want to compartmentalize it that way. So
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: moving forward, just being able to get back on the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: right side of the win lost column, and um, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like I talked about the game, just just kind of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: what it took to win that game all three phases. Um,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: had to step up and make plays. And I think
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that's exciting for our team to kind of, I guess,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: be on the right side of a of a close
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: game and you know, it hadn't happened in a while,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: so that was that was great, um, But just moving forward.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: As you know, now we've already got our first practice
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: down of the week. We've we've flipped the page. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on every everything's going towards the Chiefs and it's a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: big challenge for us. So it's a big opportunity. It's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: going to Arrowhead Stadium, especially before the bye week. It's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a huge game for us to get some more momentum. UM.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So we're just we're excited to go play that game
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and everything's focused on that now. You know, it's it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: how consistent can you be and keep stacking games like that? Obviously, So, um,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it's good for us. We really, like I said, we
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: really needed it. You know, you look at our season,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it's kind of that point in the season halfway mark.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta start winning some games, start running
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: some wins off to give yourself a shot at the end.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So I think that's that's what we did, and we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: just gotta keep doing that every week. I have to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: back too much. When you do pack game, you like
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you're sitting making in day mountains day. Yeah, Yeah, you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: feel like that was that as well as you played in. Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I definitely think that was one of my you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: one of my better games, especially this season. Um, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: think you just look at accuracy, decision making, um, situational ball,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: all those things. I think that was one of my
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: one of my better games, and just as an offense,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: one of one of our better games. We just we're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: really good. You know. There were some some un scouted,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: unscripted looks that we saw and just being able to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: adjust and um, really do the next best thing. That's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: what we always talk about our quarterback room is it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not always gonna be exactly what you think it is.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna look perfect, but just do the next
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: best thing. And that's I think that's something that we
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: were able to do really well on Sunday and moving forward,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: just continuing that and um, yeah, so I thought, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'm happy with with how I played, but I said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that's it's kind of the past now. So we're moving
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on to the Chiefs. Did you watch your mic up segment? Yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I saw it. David sent it to me the other night,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I guess right before, right as it came out. So
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I saw it. That trash talking by Trevor Lawrence. Is that?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What do you consider that? Your version of trash? I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guess so, you know, I don't. I don't know. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: like have fun, you know, I don't. I don't talk
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: too much, but just just have fun. I mean that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he's probably talking about the one clip with with Denzel.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's he's awesome. We talked after the game,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but um, just playing guys like that. He was fired up.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You want to talk to me after he hit me
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and I just tell him, you know, I got six
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: yards and I don't mind it. You know, it doesn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: bother me. So just just going back and forth. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: think that's you know, that's how the game is meant
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to be played. You have fun, you compete. We're all
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: out there competing, and um, yes, that was that was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: part of it. Is that normal or is that Are
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you coming out a little bit doing that a little
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: bit more often and taking it to another level? Learn
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It depends on the game situation kind of what happens,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: what someone says to me. You know, there's so I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I would say it's somewhat normal, you know, not all
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the time. But um, like I said, it's just it's different.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: What I honestly forgot it was miked up. So after
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the game we're talking about it. I got fined in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: our room because I didn't tell everyone that I was
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: miked ups. I forgot. So that's that's a that's a no. No.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's not telling guys that you're miked up. So, UM,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it's just it's part of the game, you know. Like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I said, it makes the game fun. Every everyone's out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there competing and you go back and forth, and UM,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I really feel like sometimes I gets the juices. Juice
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is flowing and you kind of getting your element, and um,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: flip the switch and I feel like that kind of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: happened on Sunday and it was it was great. I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just curious you called fifty two when you're doing your
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: game prep during the week, do you think in terms
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of numbers or do you think in terms of their names?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Numbers? I mean, you know
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you know their names. And obviously no, no him, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: great player, Um, but just kind of see him. That's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just the first thing that that came out. So watch. Yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's whenever they're playing, that's that's that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: team you want to see play, especially on offense. They're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just the things they do really creative. Um, obviously Patrick's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a great player, fun to watch. But then also just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: kind of your prep each week. You know we're playing
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the that we're playing the whole a FC West pend Division,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: so you see them their offense against these teams that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we've played. You know, they played the Colts as well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: so you kind of see that on tape two. So
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: those are always it's always good games to watch. And um, yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it's you know, I've got a lot of respect for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: him and the way he plays the game is um,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it's you know, especially you know he's a great player.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So you have you ever tried to know the past
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: any game? I don't think so maybe like I don't,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: honestly don't. I don't think something maybe like a flat
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: route or something. But you know, you look people off
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and then I usually try to get my eyes back
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on it last second. But um, and now I haven't.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We were joking about that today actually, but when stands
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: up about of defense, UM, just you know their scheme,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they're they're really really well coached. They do a lot
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of different things as far as you just pressure wise,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: they have really good pressure packages. Um, and they just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got they got guys moving around all over the place,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and I think they do a good job of changing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: up the look. Um. Obviously Chris Jones up front is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a great player and great players, So that's a guy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You always have those guys every week, and they got
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they got a few of them, but especially him that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta have an eye on, you gotta have a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: plan for. And UM got a lot of respect saying
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for him, the way he plays the game, and just
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he's a he's a dominant guy into your guy. So UM,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: guys like that obviously make it harder for you. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know, our guys up front have have done a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really good job of blocking great d lineman this season.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You know, we've we've gone up against a bunch of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: great players. So, um, it's another challenge for us. Nothing new.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And just I'd say their defense is a whole seemed
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: really well coached. They do a good job of limiting
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the big plays. Um, and I think they're I think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they're playing well. Obviously, look at this season and they've
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: had a lot of close games and they've really and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: able to play really really good in the second half
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. You know, they might get behind, then
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they're they're never out of it. That's this is a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: team where you understand who you're playing, you understand who's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, and you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I got all the faith in the world in our defense,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but you you do understand like the explosiveness of their
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: offense and just kind of you know, we gotta we
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: gotta play a great game. And it's that way every week,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but especially this week. You see games that way. Benchmark
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: just like what do you mean, like just a big game,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like an opportunity for yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: like I said, it really it is a great opportunity
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: anytime you're playing a team like them or or whoever.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: teams in the league that you know, the Bills or
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: these teams that are that are playing great ball right now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You can you list a bunch of them. But anytime
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you're playing a team like that and that's had a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: bunch of success in the past and you're playing at
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: their stadium, especially Arrowhead, I mean, it's a huge opportunity.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't really add anything just because are all important.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: All these games are important, um, but just the fact
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that it's the next one makes it a big deal.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, this is a this is a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: great team, and I think, um, it would be huge
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for us obviously to go to win and and kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of measure ourselves up against the rest of the league.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But every week you got opportunity to do that. Do
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you eat up a little bit going into a place
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like a you've never been and you probably played on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: video games or whatever. It's cool obviously, it's you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: one of the more historic places to play at in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the league. And I think they what do they have
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the record for like the loudest stadium in the world
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: or something like crazy like that or whatever. So, um,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be exciting. Obviously, the environment's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. You know, a couple of our coaches
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: have been there and have coached there and they say
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's an incredible environment. So we're excited. Um, obviously
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: we've got our mind on one thing. But it's gonna
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be a cool experience for sure. Quarterback in the league,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: does that like have to make you elevate that offensive
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: line gift thing for Christmas? And you canna start thinking
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit higher. Wow, he's already on camera and everything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Now I guess I have to Now it's yeah, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: mean to answer your question, I guess yeah, it should.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: There should be like a you know, a tiered thing
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like depending on how that goes. But no, they're those
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: guys up front. They've been they've been great, and I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: think it's you know, it's one how well they've played,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: but too just how well we've all communicated. And um,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's the that's the best thing. We're a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: really close group. Obviously they're really close. But then including
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the tight ends and myself and the running backs and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you know, we're all really tight and um, I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the way we've been able to communicate and put ourselves
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in good situations, and Looke up front has done up
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: an amazing job honestly of just directing the traffic and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like I said from the very beginning, doesn't play like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a rookie, and just getting better and better every week
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and our relationship is growing more and more and we
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: start to see things the same way, and that's what
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it's about. You know, you have a plan during the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: week of how to whatever it's protection or run game.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But in the game, there's gonna be something that you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen, or that there might be one clip up
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: but we've already talked about, or it's a certain look
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and we're on the same page, so we can play
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that much faster. And that's what it's all about. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he's done a great job and those guys all have
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: so it's been great. Hollowing up on that just a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: little bit. All props to feld Ligne, but how much
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of this You talked about the Raiders at after the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: gaming of the day, saying, man, why do you gotta
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: get the ball off so quick are you getting do
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you feel like you're getting the ball off quicker? And
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is that just natural progression from being a second year?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And however many was it twenty one games on your belt? Yeah,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure how many. Uh, but um, yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's that's the number of sacks
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and protection, all that stuff at all. Is it's all
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of us to that. That's why I said it's those
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: guys up front are are amazing, and it's never about me,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and it's never just about them. It's it's about all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of us. And everyone has their own hand, and running
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: backs to have a huge part and in protection and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback too. It's getting the ball out, understanding
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: where your heart hots are, because there's gonna be pre
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sure is where you're not gonna be able to pick
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it all up. It's just impossible to see something certain looks.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But you gotta know where you're hot, you gotta know
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: where your problems are. And um, that's something that I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: feel like we've done a good job of. And the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: old line just reacting to different looks, whether that's squeezing
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. So um, it's all of us doing
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it together. And I think that's a testament to to them,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to getting the ball out quick from my perspective, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: also to the game plan whatever it is each week
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and you know it all plays together. Good. So yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Great to see you all.
