- 0:00Speaker 1: Miss, what's up? Where were you at on the field
- 0:04Speaker 1: for the raion pick? And right next to him? Uh
- 0:10Speaker 1: my reaction? I was just telling him. I don't even
- 0:12Speaker 1: think I had one at that moment, but I just
- 0:15Speaker 1: remember going to the southeline, like running with him quiet,
- 0:20Speaker 1: just like oh like oh yeah, like just not having
- 0:27Speaker 1: no emotions. But then like getting to him and realizing
- 0:31Speaker 1: we just beat these dudes. You know what I'm saying,
- 0:33Speaker 1: Like this way the way we wanted to the way
- 0:36Speaker 1: we should have been, you know what I'm saying. So
- 0:38Speaker 1: like that moment was just a special moment, not only
- 0:40Speaker 1: for myself, but I know for this defense. And when
- 0:43Speaker 1: I looked up and I see Calwill running on the field,
- 0:46Speaker 1: so it was just like that was just it was
- 0:48Speaker 1: an awesome team win. Been involved in a walk off
- 0:52Speaker 1: defensive touchdown like that, I can't say I have, uh not.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I mean in college you know, striped sacks when in
- 1:00Speaker 1: the game, you know, Other than that, that that was like,
- 1:03Speaker 1: that was probably one of the best ones I've ever
- 1:05Speaker 1: been a part of. Did you only give him a
- 1:07Speaker 1: backslap in the end zone? That had of courtesy knowing
- 1:10Speaker 1: everybody was just gonna mob him. Man, I was so tired,
- 1:13Speaker 1: so I would had to had to catch my breath
- 1:15Speaker 1: for a minute. Um. But man, I'm so happy for
- 1:19Speaker 1: Richard Man. He's been this year. Man, I've it is
- 1:21Speaker 1: the best football I've ever seen him play. And he's
- 1:24Speaker 1: making plays that you know, well actually coaches putting him
- 1:27Speaker 1: in a position to make plays, and he's making he's
- 1:30Speaker 1: capitalizing off of every one of those opportunities. And I
- 1:34Speaker 1: want him to continue to grow because not only when
- 1:36Speaker 1: he's playing good for us, he's playing good for the
- 1:38Speaker 1: whole everybody. He's a momentum setter. Uh, he's one of
- 1:42Speaker 1: our core pieces, and he's just a guy that you
- 1:44Speaker 1: know that that brings it every week. A little bit
- 1:47Speaker 1: about his interesting because that's the one thing he was
- 1:50Speaker 1: in his zone. I think this game, man, I think
- 1:53Speaker 1: you know when you have one of those games and
- 1:56Speaker 1: when you're just in that zone or just everything is
- 1:59Speaker 1: just coming to you, you know, Because it was the
- 2:01Speaker 1: funny thing about that pick looking back, like I think
- 2:06Speaker 1: it was I think we messed up, you know what
- 2:08Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not gonna get it out too deep
- 2:10Speaker 1: in that, but like it was like the luck of
- 2:15Speaker 1: the draw, Like it was just happened to be, you know,
- 2:17Speaker 1: right place at the right time, and it worked out,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and it was just it was I'm glad it did
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm glad it played out the way he played. Uh
- 2:27Speaker 1: but like I said, I sho, man, he's only crap
- 2:30Speaker 1: eight with the eighteen tackles. Eighteen tackles, two picks and
- 2:38Speaker 1: what do you say after the game? It's one of
- 2:40Speaker 1: those games you dream about when he was a child.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And again, we've always looked and we've always talked about
- 2:46Speaker 1: when we were going through those losing streaks, we're gonna
- 2:49Speaker 1: have a moment in this season when it's going to
- 2:52Speaker 1: be one of those performances. And I think he was,
- 2:56Speaker 1: like I said, man, he's always been those guys. He
- 2:58Speaker 1: always been that guy right right there. And I think
- 3:01Speaker 1: this was just one of those moments. And I think
- 3:03Speaker 1: it's gonna carry us for the rest of the season.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It's just going through all that, of course, I mean,
- 3:12Speaker 1: you know, we never want to We never tried to
- 3:14Speaker 1: put our put ourselves in that position. I think we
- 3:17Speaker 1: had to go through some learning, you know, curves on
- 3:20Speaker 1: on how to handle adversity. I think we handled it
- 3:23Speaker 1: pretty well. Uh, just we never wavered it was always
- 3:26Speaker 1: been we gotta finish, just like how we treat the game.
- 3:29Speaker 1: The game doesn't end until it says zero zero zero
- 3:31Speaker 1: zero on the clock. And as long as we have
- 3:33Speaker 1: a little time with the cloud, we always have a
- 3:35Speaker 1: chance to win. And that's how we look at it
- 3:37Speaker 1: throughout the season as well. And I think that's how
- 3:40Speaker 1: you know, that's that's been our message all year, and
- 3:43Speaker 1: I think it's gonna continue to be the message to
- 3:45Speaker 1: we get to it. We need to get to this
- 3:48Speaker 1: team week and to be able to We've never it
- 3:55Speaker 1: was never because we were all struggling, you know what
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'm saying. Offense, defense. I think we all struggled in
- 4:01Speaker 1: our moments. Uh so like it wasn't we couldn't blame
- 4:05Speaker 1: one person for the mistakes or whatever. Like we knew
- 4:08Speaker 1: Trevor Lawns Trevor Laance, and we knew what type of
- 4:10Speaker 1: player he is and he just had to find his
- 4:13Speaker 1: group and he found his groove. And now this is
- 4:16Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawns that we knew, we all have, you
- 4:19Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So we never looked at him
- 4:22Speaker 1: even after the Philly game, it was never him. Man,
- 4:27Speaker 1: you gotta do better. Got. It was never like, let's
- 4:29Speaker 1: get this, let's get it right. You know what I'm saying,
- 4:31Speaker 1: Let's let's work on those and let's continue to grow.
- 4:34Speaker 1: And I think Trevor has continued to grow mature. He's
- 4:39Speaker 1: so mature for the second year player and for him
- 4:42Speaker 1: to come here and step up and play the way
- 4:44Speaker 1: he's playing. Even after he fumbled the ball, it was
- 4:47Speaker 1: never it was let's get the ball back to him,
- 4:50Speaker 1: Let's do what we need to do. Let's get the
- 4:52Speaker 1: ball back to him. Did what we needed to do.
- 4:55Speaker 1: We gave the ball back to him, and they did.
- 4:57Speaker 1: We didn't need to do the hand of the hand
- 4:59Speaker 1: of the game. So, yeah, this is how other guys
- 5:04Speaker 1: on other teams feel like Kansas City, you win all
- 5:08Speaker 1: those years, bals you get says that this is how
- 5:12Speaker 1: he must feel like you got you got that guy. Yeah,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you know, you know. For me, I mean, I love
- 5:24Speaker 1: Trevor like he's I think he's he's going to continue
- 5:28Speaker 1: to grow. I think he's gonna get better than the
- 5:29Speaker 1: performance he had yesterday, you know what I'm saying. And
- 5:32Speaker 1: I think this is a normal you know, I think
- 5:34Speaker 1: if we all continue to do what we do because
- 5:36Speaker 1: we feed off each other, you know, and I think
- 5:39Speaker 1: we've always have. I think that's why we're in the
- 5:42Speaker 1: locker room always joking and playing with each other, because
- 5:45Speaker 1: we know what type of chemistry and relationship that we
- 5:47Speaker 1: all have. So we really all play off each other
- 5:50Speaker 1: and we try. Trevors just one of the guys, you
- 5:52Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And uh, he plays ping pong
- 5:56Speaker 1: in the table, you know what I'm saying. I know
- 5:58Speaker 1: y'all probably seen him right before practice probably you know
- 6:01Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But he's one of those guys and
- 6:04Speaker 1: but we know when we step on that practice field,
- 6:06Speaker 1: we step in those means, all sense of urgency has
- 6:10Speaker 1: to kick. And he's one of those guys that that
- 6:12Speaker 1: gets prepared every week. You're saying, and the Chargers postgame
- 6:15Speaker 1: locker room were different. We're different. Well after that five
- 6:20Speaker 1: straight losses by one score and then now you've recovered
- 6:26Speaker 1: from that, you kind of feel like, I don't know
- 6:29Speaker 1: that this team is now getting some rewards from all
- 6:34Speaker 1: the work that it's put in instead of, you know,
- 6:36Speaker 1: the brakes are going your way now they were not
- 6:38Speaker 1: going your way in October. Its uh I think, uh,
- 6:42Speaker 1: you know, coach Peterson has always preached us, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 1: it's all about how you finish, it's not how you start.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And uh, that's always in the games and the season
- 6:50Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, we we started fast and then we
- 6:53Speaker 1: kind of had a little moments of growing pains, But
- 6:57Speaker 1: it's all about how you finish and playing meaningful Know,
- 7:00Speaker 1: He's probably said this many times, playing meaningful games in December.
- 7:03Speaker 1: I've never been a part of a meaningful game in December.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And we put ourselves in a position to almost get
- 7:09Speaker 1: away from that, but we also put our positions to
- 7:11Speaker 1: get back into that conversation. And like I said, but
- 7:14Speaker 1: we never wavered. We never doubted that this was all luck.
- 7:18Speaker 1: It was the work that we put in throughout the week,
- 7:20Speaker 1: is the way we practice, the way we prepare, the
- 7:22Speaker 1: way we communicate with players and coaches at all, and uh,
- 7:26Speaker 1: you know, and it's not just luck. I don't believe
- 7:29Speaker 1: it's luck, you know what I'm saying. I think this
- 7:31Speaker 1: is the preparation. I think this is the just the
- 7:35Speaker 1: attitude that we come into work every day, the attitude
- 7:38Speaker 1: like today, you know, guys coming in here and getting
- 7:41Speaker 1: the bodies right back right because we got a game
- 7:43Speaker 1: this Thursday. I think that's the maturity that we have
- 7:45Speaker 1: in this locker room. And uh, because it is gonna
- 7:48Speaker 1: be a quick turn around at MetLife on that turf
- 7:52Speaker 1: with those type of degrees. So you know, we gotta
- 7:55Speaker 1: we gotta come back and gonna get ready to go.
- 7:58Speaker 1: This is a team of destiny, man, I'm taking them
- 8:02Speaker 1: one week at a time. When we win the Super Bowl,
- 8:05Speaker 1: then we can say something like that. But for right now, man,
- 8:07Speaker 1: it's you know, saying we're playing against a lot of
- 8:10Speaker 1: nameless opponents. And you know, the next challenge that we
- 8:13Speaker 1: have is you know, the New York Jets, which is
- 8:15Speaker 1: a good team, so we have we're gonna have to prepare,
- 8:18Speaker 1: you know, prepare the same with the sense of urgency
- 8:21Speaker 1: and then uh, and then we gotta go on. But
- 8:25Speaker 1: you know, we keep doing what we do. You know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: we're gonna achieve everything that we said we can gieve.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So then we'll go from there out yesterday And just
- 8:35Speaker 1: how big was it to have you know, so many
- 8:36Speaker 1: guys contribute to the pasture s you the war on
- 8:39Speaker 1: art and just when you guys really needed Jip and
- 8:44Speaker 1: we gotta do what we gotta do. You know what
- 8:45Speaker 1: I'm saying. I know Trey Barn before Javis birthday too.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I know that sucked for him, but you know, he
- 8:52Speaker 1: was one of the guys when we came into the sungline,
- 8:53Speaker 1: who's right there, you know, telling us what he sees
- 8:56Speaker 1: and how he sees us playing. And we took that
- 8:58Speaker 1: and we ran with it. You know what I'm saying,
- 9:00Speaker 1: things like, hey, yeah, I think you need to do
- 9:01Speaker 1: this movie on he said he oversey, you know, so
- 9:04Speaker 1: beat him inside or go to speed of power and
- 9:07Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, he wasn't there, but he was
- 9:09Speaker 1: always been there. Sorry about that. Um, you know, we
- 9:17Speaker 1: just need to get him back. You know, Trey Barn
- 9:19Speaker 1: is a love Trede Barn, you know what I'm saying,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the way he comes to work every day. But he
- 9:24Speaker 1: needs to get healthy and nobody wants to play with
- 9:27Speaker 1: a half hurt person. So vous Trey Barn to get
- 9:31Speaker 1: healthy soon, man, And uh, I'm ready for him to
- 9:34Speaker 1: come back on a short week and a win like
- 9:37Speaker 1: this one kind of help you in your preparations since
- 9:39Speaker 1: it's i mean not a normal kind of deal. Now
- 9:42Speaker 1: we gotta get back to work. We gotta start from
- 9:44Speaker 1: scratch all over again. Uh, surely it's a you know,
- 9:48Speaker 1: you know when they say when you lose, you gotta
- 9:50Speaker 1: have short tim memory. It's even like that when you win. Uh.
- 9:54Speaker 1: You know, this is a feeling that we want to
- 9:55Speaker 1: get used to. UH. So it's how quick can we prepare,
- 9:59Speaker 1: especially now with and Coach Peterson's preached before the Titans game,
- 10:02Speaker 1: we have fifteen days, We have fifteen days, We have
- 10:05Speaker 1: three games in fifteen days, so the sister urgency has
- 10:08Speaker 1: picked up and this is just the third game of
- 10:10Speaker 1: that stretch. Uh. And we know that and we're preparing
- 10:13Speaker 1: this way. That's why I said, Uh, I see a
- 10:15Speaker 1: lot of guys in her early Getting Up Bodies background
- 10:18Speaker 1: because of the sense of urgency that we put on
- 10:19Speaker 1: ourselves begin the beginning of the week. So, um, quick turnaround,
- 10:25Speaker 1: we can get through watch this film, get through it,
- 10:27Speaker 1: get the corrections, and then move on to the move
- 10:31Speaker 1: on to the Jets. And I think we're gonna I'm
- 10:33Speaker 1: excited about that. I'm excited about to play against the Jets,
- 10:35Speaker 1: get to go back home for the first time. And like,
- 10:38Speaker 1: I'm excited, and I know we all are. You guys prepare,
- 10:42Speaker 1: especially on a short week for a team you don't
- 10:44Speaker 1: necessarily know who the quarterback is going to be. We'll
- 10:48Speaker 1: see when we get there. You know, we didn't know.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I mean, we knew Tyron got back from injuries, and
- 10:55Speaker 1: we it was a oh, he's playing this guy, he's
- 10:57Speaker 1: playing this side. Okay, now you have to you have
- 11:00Speaker 1: to go, you know what I'm saying. So we just
- 11:02Speaker 1: have to watch the type of players they did do
- 11:04Speaker 1: with certain type of quarterbacks and be prepared or be
- 11:07Speaker 1: ready for anything that happens. We played in a lot
- 11:10Speaker 1: of games where somebody rotated in, and now we have
- 11:13Speaker 1: to We can't get caught off guard. So I think
- 11:16Speaker 1: coaches gonna gonna put us in a good position to
- 11:18Speaker 1: play against both quarterbacks, and uh, you know, because they
- 11:22Speaker 1: both do good things. They do a lot of good
- 11:23Speaker 1: things well and uh, offense really doesn't change as much
- 11:27Speaker 1: when when either ones in the game. Uh So, but
- 11:31Speaker 1: we'll see. Starting at twelve, you mentioned not having played
- 11:41Speaker 1: meaningful games in December. Well, now you know your team
- 11:44Speaker 1: controls with their own destinies. So just how big is
- 11:46Speaker 1: this game Thursday night? For you guys? It's it's it's
- 11:49Speaker 1: the big game because it's the next game. It's uh,
- 11:51Speaker 1: it's It's what we preach about. You know, the next
- 11:55Speaker 1: game is the most important game. You know, we handle
- 11:58Speaker 1: our business the week of and then we come on
- 12:00Speaker 1: Sunday and we do we need to do handle that business. Now,
- 12:04Speaker 1: what's up to the next one? Uh So Thursday night,
- 12:09Speaker 1: madlife against a good team. It's uh by the end
- 12:12Speaker 1: of the day, it's about us, and we're going to
- 12:15Speaker 1: prepare such like I said, that's a good team up there,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and no knocks to them, but you know, we're excited
- 12:22Speaker 1: to play against him. And you know, whoever comes back
- 12:24Speaker 1: healthy and praying for Cam. I don't know what's going on.
- 12:27Speaker 1: He just went on. I just I hate to see
- 12:29Speaker 1: anything happen to anybody that gets hurt, so so shout
- 12:32Speaker 1: out to everybody. Any truth to the rumor that Bland smooths.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Do you guys give him more? Do you give him?
- 12:45Speaker 1: Never know, I'd rather give him a hard time for
- 12:47Speaker 1: that play in the player I had crap. I told
- 12:50Speaker 1: him after that. I was like, I was like, yeah,
- 12:52Speaker 1: so we're gonna have smooth play then, and I'm gonna
- 12:54Speaker 1: go ahead. We're good on that. So but uh, now,
- 12:58Speaker 1: what a heck of a play. You know, what huge
- 13:00Speaker 1: play just like we already had that against the Raiders.
- 13:05Speaker 1: With the Raiders, there's a similar play on the sideline
- 13:09Speaker 1: on the whorl roude. You know what I'm saying is
- 13:11Speaker 1: you're doing doing what you gotta do when when you
- 13:13Speaker 1: when you plays being called and uh, you know, shout
- 13:16Speaker 1: smooth Smooth had a heck of a game as well
- 13:18Speaker 1: with the five type of losses. Uh, a lot of
- 13:22Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback pressures. So I think I think
- 13:25Speaker 1: everybody's finding that groove. Man. I think the sense of
- 13:27Speaker 1: urgency that we put ourselves under, uh to be ready
- 13:30Speaker 1: and prepared for each week. Uh, it's putting us in
- 13:33Speaker 1: a good position to play fast and free. Is that?
- 13:36Speaker 1: Is that the key for you guys want to do
- 13:38Speaker 1: going for a lawyer? Were getting turnovers and now you're
- 13:41Speaker 1: back turns, you know a little more free. Yeah obviously
- 13:47Speaker 1: so Uh. Like I said, I think Coach Card was
- 13:49Speaker 1: putting us in a lot of positions to to to
- 13:53Speaker 1: to do what our strong suits are and now it's
- 13:56Speaker 1: just up to us to really go out there and
- 14:00Speaker 1: pay free. And we know our opponent and I think
- 14:02Speaker 1: that comes with preparation as well. I know your opponent,
- 14:05Speaker 1: So when stuff does happen, you can kind of play
- 14:08Speaker 1: a little bit faster, and I think a lot of
- 14:10Speaker 1: guys be prepared. I know Rashad. I know Rashad has
- 14:13Speaker 1: been from heck the way he's been playing in the
- 14:16Speaker 1: four year as well. Um, so we gotta continue to
- 14:19Speaker 1: go and say, man, we got to get opponent this week,
- 14:21Speaker 1: and you know, we're excited to play against him. You
- 14:27Speaker 1: mentioned coach Caldbill coming on the field to celebrate. He's
- 14:29Speaker 1: always that kind of calm and presence. That's the most
- 14:31Speaker 1: excited you've seen him since he's been here. Yeah, just
- 14:35Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, Yeah, what a great feeling that was,
- 14:39Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, especially for him, I think,
- 14:42Speaker 1: you know, because I know we're out there playing, but
- 14:44Speaker 1: he's out there calling what we're actually doing. So for
- 14:48Speaker 1: him to win the game and be a part of
- 14:50Speaker 1: something like that, I know that was. I know that
- 14:52Speaker 1: was a special moment for him as well. So we've
- 14:55Speaker 1: got to continue to go, continue to get them takeaways
- 14:57Speaker 1: and you know, continue to pick just since the urgency.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Thank y'all,
