  Speaker 1: Has this been the craziest year of your career? Nah?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I threw a game away, so I mean

• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the best I feel like i'dn't been a part of honestly,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Like we gotta we gotta playoff nine early. Our record
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: is good, the guys are great, So yeah, I would
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: say so.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: I mean definitely. It's the things that you dream about,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: you know, since I've been here, we haven't won the division,
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: so it's, uh, it's a really big deal for not
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: only me, but this whole organization, this whole whole city.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So just excited to go out there.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: And have an opportunity to play.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I know they've made a point of like taking it
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: one game at a time and not talking about the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: goals or or what was on the horizon. But I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: mean this one, you kind of got to talk about
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it since it's winning hat T shirts kind of.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The game, right, Yeah for sure.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I mean we know, uh what's on the line, But
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day, we just gotta go
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: out there and bs and play our brand of football
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: and everything else to take care of yourself, you know.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Oh excuse me, what'll sends out of their front seven?
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Uh? They got some great players on their front seven.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: You know, I think their ends are really good. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: don't think a lot of people really talk about 'em
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: as much. I think they do a good job with
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: their hands, you know. Obviously, you know they have ninety eight,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: which is a been a good player in this league
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: for a long time. So I got a good front seven.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: How do you avoid as a team the chippiness that
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: comes and playing with an edge still but not going
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: over the line in a game like this, you know
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: they're gonna wanna, you know, try to uh get some
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: things started.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, it just decid It just depends on what
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: you wanna do. If you want your pocket to get
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: a little bit empty after and that's on you. But uh,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: you know, it was just trying to stay composed. Obviously
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of a lot of tension. You know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: we playing twice a year. They're in our division, so
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: it's always tension when we play. But it's just about
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: staying composed.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: I want him to be him, you know, and if, uh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: if that does happen to something, one of the older
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: guys should take it on one.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Nah, I ain't gonna say no.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Names speaking of Travis one. Uh, just what is what
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: he's been able to do this season? Just how special
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: has a big third time crossing a thousand yards and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I think it's one of the most yards receive it there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's been doing it his whole career.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: And you know, I've got the watch him from afar,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: like when he was at Clemson, But when I really
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: got here, I realized how truly special he is and
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: just how like slippery he is, you know, like he's
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: probably one of the hardest guys to tackle in the league.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: He always make somebody miss and that's a good thing
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: for guys like me who have to block for him
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: because it's say something goes wrong and he's able to
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: make him miss and and create a bigger play. So
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Chrav's a a special player and it's no surprise at
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: all he's doing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: What he's doing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: What are some just in general challenges of facing a
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: team a second time. I know it's been six weeks,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: but what's different about Tennessee right now?
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: I mean they're playing very well. Uh, quarterback's playing with
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: more confidence. They're they're understanding how to move the ball
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: down and field. Uh, you know, things are on time better.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: I'd tell you the run games looking very very physical.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: You know he's hitting the gaps Pollard and and Spears, Uh,
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: hitting the gaps, you know, the good running backs stuff,
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: getting guys the ball in space off mess rods and stuff.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: So you know, it's a good, well oiled team right now.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: And you gotta be in the right spots and make
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: the right tackles and hits and fits, uh in order
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: out of the field.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Why is Cam taking a step in the right direction?
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Cam Moardon, he's extending plays and seeing guys down the
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: field and then throwing things on time better. Just kind
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: of the evolution of a quarterback understanding the NFL game,
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: understanding his scheme and stuff, so you know he's doing
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: the thing necessary to take the next step, and it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: hard job to get out the field when he's on it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Last week, I don't know if it's necessarily a great thing,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: but this team was down ten and then didn't panic,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: came back, flought back on the road against the division rival.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: What can that kind of win do down the stretch
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: here this week and then beyond.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: To the playoffs.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: I kind of thing we saw with Arizona two. Just
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: finding ways to win. Is that like obviously going to
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: go through tough games the NFL, everybody professional understanding the
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: teams who win down the stretch no matter how it looks,
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: you know, finding ways to win is how winners win
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: here in this league. So executing obviously no matter the score,
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Like let's say you're down ten, it's time to start
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: executing with it up ten, got to keep executing because
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: any leads not safe. And then obviously when you're you
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: got to find a way to get the lead and
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: come back and win. So just sticking together and understanding
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: that anytime in the game, no matter how it starts.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Our best football that's able to be played. Let's go
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: out there and do it and execute for the team
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: and see what happens.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: How much division title talk is there this week or
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: is it just another week?
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Want to know again, No, we understand what we work
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: for this whole year. But understanding, like you know, it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: kind of been championship weeks for the past five weeks.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: You know, if we had lost one of these games
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: in the past five weeks, obviously you know we're not
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: for the division. So just continue to do what we've
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: been doing and executing how we've been executing, So about
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: the energy that we bring to preparation and then going
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: out there and having fun with the boys and stuff.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: So it's exciting, but understanding the task is kind of
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: handled throughout the week, not really just because it's a
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: division game. It's just the next game.
