• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You guys clinched. But there seems to be that job's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not done mentality. Where does that come from? Is that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: from coaches? Is that from you guys?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just the culture of of what
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we're trying to build here. You know, coach Cohen has
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: done a heck of a job. And yeah, well it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: starts top now, you know, you look at James, you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: look at Tony, uh starts with them, and then you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: get the identity of the head coach and then you
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: know he brings the coaches that he feels like, that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: gonna you know, embody what he feels.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: And then you get the players. You bring the players in.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And embodies that can embody all these emotions and feelings.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And you know, as as a culture, you know, as players,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: as a locker room, I feel like, you know, we
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just embodied that you know, disrespectful tone and uh, we
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like it, you know what I mean? And you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we look forward to it. And uh, I'm not saying
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we enjoy it, but like it is what it is,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Like we're gonna keep playing football.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Told you a couple weeks ago. Man, we's just gonna
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: keep playing until you know, they say we suck. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we're in the Super Bowl. So and I'm cool with that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And I think everybody's lo locker room, everybody in this building.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: That's cool with that as well. Just getting only one
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: player in the Pro Bowl, does that add to that? Yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that was the That was the craziest. That's I mean,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I obviously you know what I'm saying. You know, shout
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: out to ross Man three P. You know, he's definitely
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: gonna be all another All Pro this year the way
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: he's been playing.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Uh So, kudos to him. He deserves it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But I think we have other guys that's on the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: team that deserves it as well. I know they changed
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the rules they told me to. They change the rules
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: about the alternate for the defensive line offensive line.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I think that's crazy, but it is what it is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: But then you look at Devin Lloyd, a guy that's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: deserving of every award, a linebacker, any defensive player should
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: should have He should be number one priority and the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: g for have a guy to you know, be an
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: alternate in that. But you know, to M, I don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: know what position they had 'em at. You know, if
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it's insa lineback, outside linebacker, I think it's would be
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the best insa linebacker in the National Football League. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you look at those guys in a list much respect
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of those guys, but nobody's doing what he's done. Yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know they need to put him
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: as a insal arnbacker anything that you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Know, it's inter saying, can that fuel you guys this week?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: You always looking for something to keep you guys on
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: edge a little bit.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean that's more of a you know, a Devin thing,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I I like, we love
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Devin and I and it kind of pisses me off.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But again, it it just goes back to the same old,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: same old thing that we kind of been experiencing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's it's expected.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know, he's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be an all program and we have other guys
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that's some of the team that deserves that as well.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But you look at just Devin in particular. Man, he's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: he deserves all the praises you know that a again,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a defensive player should have. And you know he's gonna
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: get at the end of the day, and once we
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: keep winning, he's gonna keep put her on the show
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and get put on that pedal store and we're gonna
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: hype him up every week. Oh the plays that he makes,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and he's gonna come up big for us.
• 4:03

  Speaker 3: just you know, some of the word choice, some of
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the fire mm.

  Speaker 2: Uh you know, we gonna let me think about that.
• 4:26

• 7:23
  Speaker 7: it our all. Uh still give it uh everything we
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: got ticket game by game, take it day by day.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Is there no celebrating at all that you guys made
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the playoffs?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Just business?
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: Nah? I I mean nobody even said anything about it
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: today like during means that anything. We still taking the
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: day by day, game by game and we just trying
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: to be the best that we can be day day
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: in and day out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Is that good?
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Also that it's not that you guys are treating it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: That way me personally, I think so.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: I think it just keeps us focused on the main goal,
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: which is coming in being the best that we can be,
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: uh today being where our feet are.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Like I said, taking everything day by day, take the
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: game by game. So I feel like that's the best,
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: that's the best thing for us.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: I think you guys have had a different leading receiver
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: five weeks in a row.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Let's that's say about your offense and roup everything. Uh
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: just shows how, I mean how versatile we are.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Everybody can eat, everybody can do everything, and just how
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: really how versus how the room is, whether it's the
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: wide receivers, tight ends, ie, like everybody can go out
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: there and uh, and do do what they do, do
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: their thing and do it, do what we know they
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: can do.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: You're gonna obviously play in the run game as well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: But is there an unselfishness for this group, but in
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: all of that not always having to be the guy
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: catching it, Yeah, but also delivering in the run game
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: in other courts.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: I mean for us to get what we want, we
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: know we gotta go out and go in there and block,
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: help them out, help get the run game going. So
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: I mean that's just how the offense works. We gotta
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: go up in there, help them out. And uh, because
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: they do the same thing with all the paths blocking
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: for us for to get to give us, give Trevor
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: of time and us time to get open.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Chacobe getting extended last week. Just how do you feel,
• 8:55

• 9:02
  Speaker 7: it's just it's a great, great great for him.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Right when did this locker room turn?
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's such a confidence or a chemistry here
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: that wasn't here at the end of last year.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Is there a moment in the season where you felt it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was like a specific moment.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: I just feel like just coming in with the news,
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: coaching staff and everything, I felt that the culture change,
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: the energy change around the building. I feel like we
