  Speaker 2: ball that we're capable of execute like we are, then
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we can do this you know often.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What's what was the key to that?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I think just s s kind of the key that
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: has been every week, men come out, like I said,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: play our style of football, get to the ball, make
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it feel, you know, like it's twenty guys out there,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and get out to the quarterback and see what happens.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: How much did Shakis kick off future and just help
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: everybody and you guys to play from the front.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I think that's that was electric to to to be
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: off two weeks, start the game off black like that
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in front of seventy some thousand people. That's that's a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: great way to start. Gave us a boost. But it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: also just confirmed what we knew, like let's go out
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: here and play our game and this will happen often
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: where the world obviously didn't hurt you guys having the delay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But what do you do during a twenty minute delay
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: when you're so hyped up.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Wherey to go? Oh that was kind of crazy. But
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we started back stretching again in the locker room, like
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we just started back warming up. The strength staff started
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: getting guys ready and at the end of the day
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we were just ready to play. So they they delayed
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it twenty minutes. But it's okay. You guys had two
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of your turnovers turned into fourteenth points for the offense.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: How much pride do you guys take into that, you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the complimentary football and the kick returning then you guys
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: contributing directly to fourteen points like that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's big, honestly, that's that's you know, that's Hoyle.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: We want to play that complimentary football. Getting turnovers on defense,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that's something we strive to do. And when the offense
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: able to capitalize and you know get you know, touchdowns
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: out of that builds our confidence and you know, we
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just want to go get the ball more now and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: give them more opportunities to just go get as many
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: points as we can. Yeah, just in the middle of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the field, seeing the tight end kind of chip and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, me and perty was looking down field. He
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: was getting pressured, I believe, and he let it go
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and I was running and just happened to be there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I think of the year he wanted like ten. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: think turnovers total, turnovers total.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it counts, it counts. Sure, No, we don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: start over.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I was playing pretty different than other quarterbacks.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: He can make all the throws, can extend and plays
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with his legs. I mean he was making ruins today
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and throwing it back across his body, which is crazy.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: But he was able to make those throws. It's a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: really good quarterback. But we were able to just get
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: after him to day and that's you know, that's what
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it was. He've been very vocal on your support for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: your quarterback this season.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What he did to you know, have the injury missed
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: some time and maybe whatever certain there was, then go
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: out and do this.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Father man been telling y'all, Sam's baller. He's gonna keep
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: showing up for us, and we trust saying him regardless
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of what anybody says, we know Sam and we trust him.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: He knew he was gonna play, even even Purell were
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: working sure about that. We played.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Your coach said, this was the most complimentary game that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you guys have played to this point, but obviously there's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: more still in front of you. I'm just wondering, kind
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of what's the vibe like in the locker room? What
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: do you have a win like that? But obviously there's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: more to do.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say we expected this, but well, like I said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we play our style to play games can look like
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: this often. We were able to do that on all
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: three phases today and that's just what it was. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I think for us, after the game, job's not done.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know, we got to we got one more game to,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you know, earn the opportunity to play in the big one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I always say, you can't win the Super Bowl nless
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you're in it. So don't worry about the Super Bowl
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: right now. Just always take one game at a time.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You guys run the sidelines and you're and you're watching
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the offense run the football the way do you guys
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: have the last three or four games here one hundred.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And seventy yard you rush to go to average pre game, like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: how much for the lift does that give you? Guys?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: When you're seeing your offense punish their defense and kind
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of impose their will lot on that I mean, it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a beautiful thing to see. I mean, lord knows, we
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we had to fight at all during OTAs and training camp,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: so it's a great sight to see, you know, them
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: running the ball. And I'm telling Kate nine all year, like,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: keep stacking, man, those holes, those lanes are gonna open up,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and they're doing just they're doing that. Just now.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know you've played with Cooper cup when he's lighting
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: up the world and breaking records. That hasn't been his
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: role this year, But what does he met for the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: team terms of I think he does.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I think he's been a lot in everything for that offense.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Just steadiness, regardless if he's getting the ball or not,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Coops the same person. Ultimately, Coop just wants to win.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And I think that's where you know that receiver room.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I credit those guys because you know, jack S gets
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of the love, but those guys are not
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: selfish at all. Man. They all go out there and compete.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Coop's been doing it a long time. So for him
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to take the you know, in a sense, take the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: back seat and not be the guy that's big, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that shows you know what kind of player he is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And we knew that how much is Mike's leadership styles
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: consistency is steady, is kind of set the foundation.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: For what you guys have been this year.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I think Mike's Mike's Mike's the biggest thing. I think
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: just being able to tell, you know, start day one, Hey,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: this is what type of team we're gonna be. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: we can't be that team unless we work for it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And he's constantly just had us working at it. And Mike,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Mike's a big reason why we're here, and it's a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: big reason why, like these games don't feel like no bigger,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they feel like just week with twenty something or nineteens. Yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: so good, thank you, thank you all. Beg
