• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, So when did.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: If you didn't want to.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Leave, when did you get there?
• 0:08
  Speaker 4: Well, when when they shut down Paul Sylvia's I think
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: was the last time it's still making, you know, reports
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: from the stadium or whatever, whether that was when I
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: felt like it was probably time.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: What so, kid, make you want.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: To go out there? I mean, obviously it saw something
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: you do after every game. What made you want to
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: go out and kind of spend extra time on the field.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Before my grandkids? Yeah, my grandson's that was what it
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was about.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, we're heading to UH Tennessee and UH a little
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: bit of a short week. We got to modified a
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: little bit to get that done. We've already already in
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: that I want to do this better than we did
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: our last short week, and so we're determined to. We've
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: changed a couple of little things here about it. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: want the guys to really be ready to go again,
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: because I know that UH coach Rabel's got he's got
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: a style for his club that is really obvious. They're tough,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: they're physical, they're strong and big, run the heck out
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: of the football, they believe in it. They're really aggressive
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: on defense, and we've got to get ourselves ready to go.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: And so, uh we got to have a fantastic week
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: here to make that happen. We'll see some things, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: we see Gina will come.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Back to practice. He's going to practice.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Today and go full go and and we and we'll
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: see how that works. That's that's exciting for us. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and uh so there's a lot of a lot of
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: interesting stuff about this week and we gotta get cranked up.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Do We got three games to go and this is
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: the only one we can focus on, so I hope
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: we do a great job of that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Momentum is an interesting thing when you have a win
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: like you have the other night, how much can that
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: potentially spring this team momentum going forward?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: You know it because we've had to work so hard
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: for everybody that we've played, and we've it's been frustrating
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: and we're not getting what we want, but the guys
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: keep coming back. So the mentality and the resolve is there,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: but there ain't nothing like the rewards of you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: of the victory and and uh so this was you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: it was I hope we took took it right and
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: we're gonna you know, take the next step, not being
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: drawn back into it. But yet it was Uh, it
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: was reinforcing, and it was reinforcing because we finished so well.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: And that's you know, that's what we're always in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: battle cry around here is finishing and and we we
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: did that on both sides of the football and and
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: uh in special teams as well. So we were all
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: really there together at the moment when we needed to be.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: And that's crucially valuable. And so I'm hoping we can't
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: carry that with us.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Guys did a really nice job on the deep end. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we did.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Our guys did a really good job on the back
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: end and kept them underneath us and and uh, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: we knew it was gonna be hard to get to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: the QB so elusive and they're good, good pass pro
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: group also, but we needed to keep them from from striking.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And uh, this Julian's play was such a big play,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: both of his big plays.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Uh, we were in good shape and.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Mike was on top of an opportunity to so we
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: we did a really nice job when we had the chances.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: And I think we you know, we we just minimized
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: their ops by playing really well and disciplined on the
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: back end.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: You said after the game.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: You hadn't got a good look yet at Jackson's touchdown
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: catch when you saw that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Slow down to figure.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, somebody put a clip together from I think
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: the Rose Bowl or something like that. It was almost
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: identical play and catch. Why I bring that up is
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: because we've seen him make catches on the practice field
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: ending games already that you know he can make those
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: plays and you really kind of count on him doing it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: He's just that good at it. He's got amazing body
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: control and all that. So even when he made the catch,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to me, it wasn't I didn't think it was like
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the greatest catch ever.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't didn't know it was close, but uh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Because he's so comfortable in those situations and so you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: it was a fantastic play as the timing of it was.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Holy Mackerel was really close on the sideline there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: All season long, when either he or Devin Witherspoon makes
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: a play, the other one's one of the first ones
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: to celebrate it. Just what have you liked about the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: way those two coming in together.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do have a They really have a cool relationship.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: They battle against each other in one of the ones,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you know, when we get a chance, and uh, it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the fierce competition and they take a lot of pride
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and beating the other guy and all that, so that
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: it's it's really healthy. And Uh, I think it's you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: it's nice for both those guys to have a you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: kind of a partner in the steel as they're going
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: through their first time around and with all the notoriety
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and the pump and the hype and all that kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of stuff.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I think they're very fortunate to have each other.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: How is Devin and what's the plan with him and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: practice this week?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: We're gonna take it one day at a time. We
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: don't know yet. He's much better. He's moving around better,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: just you know, just getting around the building. Uh, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: we don't know what's gonna happen during the week him
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: so with him, so we'll just have to just take.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It one day at a time. Today's all walk through
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: day for us.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: He he won't be out there participating and he'd be
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: with us, but he won't be in the movement stuff again.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, and we'll just see how it goes tomorrow.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: The walker is that part of what you talked about
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: adjusting the Yeah, what.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: About Jamal Adams, what's the plan with him this week?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: He's still in recovery mode. I mean, he's been in
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: recovery mode for I don't know months, months, and ma
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: he just continues to do everything he can possibly do
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to try to get right and to get back and
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: we've just seen it as the rigors of the season.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's just been taxing and all.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: So we have to I mean, every day is a
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: day that we have to reevaluate and see if we
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: can get him to the next day and all. I mean,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: this is like I've said, he couldn't do more than
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: he's done. He's been ferocious about the attack on this
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and then there's time when we need to quiet him
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: down and then we you know, try to get him
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: active and try to get him.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Right and all that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: So we're still we're still in that mode right now.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I mean just I just talked to him a little
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: bit ago, and and you know, today is not the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: day to go.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not ready for this day, but he.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: That's just we're just one day at a time and
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I admire everything about how he's dealt with us and
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: handle it. I've tried to, you know, make you guys
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: aware that it's a difficult injury.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's different than the knee surgery.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: It's a different case for him, and so it's just
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: taken a really long time and it's been really frustrating
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: for him. But he's battling. He's doing everything he can
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: to compete to get right. We kind of don't talk
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: about that, you know, but it's it's been something. It's
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: been something that we have acknowledged, you know that that's
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the decision. But he he's so far he's wanted to
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: keep going and driving and see what he can make
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: of it. And and uh, uh man, I just support
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: everything that he's where he's coming from in every way.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And uh so we'll take it one t one shot
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: at the time and we'll figure it out together.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Is he I mean he hasn't had setbacks out of it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's pain, it's discomfort, and it's it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: but it's it's more just functional.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know that he feels good and feels smooth and.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: And explosive on it and and uh you know, so
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's very difficult.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Did he feel like he could play uh Monday night?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Was he pushing to play.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: He he he thought he could play, you know, he
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: we talked about it earlier in the week, but we
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: needed to see how, you know, how right he could
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: be for the game and all that, and we just
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: had to just take it. He really couldn't work during
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: the week, so just let us down that road.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We just had to. That's that's where we wound up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Did he work out pregame? No, Julian Love was then
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: in his role, in a larger role.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He's playing any different, it thinks for you this year,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the fact that he is a Player of the Week,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: how much does that reinforce.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: With Yeah, I mean it's it's a it's a really
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: good story.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: He's you just look at his last month or so.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: He's just been playing great football, and he's practiced really well, and.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: He does so much stuff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: He's in teams, he's in everywhere, you know, and he's
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: made the you know, the Niner game he had responsible
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: for a couple turnovers and he comes back again. He
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: had during the week, he had a couple in practice,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: and and he comes out in the game time and
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: he makes his plays there too. So he's been a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: he's been a uh a really a great addition, he's
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: been very, very productive here lately.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: When you look at the Titan's team, it looks like
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have to get ready for possibly two quarterbacks
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: not knowing who disorder is, what's the challenge and what's
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: the style difference between love.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And Yeah, well, w uh, Will Levis has has come on.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: He's really he's really shown a lot of bright spots.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: He's very aggressive, very strong thrower. He's quick, he's fast,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: he's tough. He looks he's handling the system, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the system and all that. So I can see why
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: they're fired up about, you know, Hi growing with him
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: and seeing him develop. Ryan Tannehill has been a good
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: football player for a long time, and they got off
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: to a pretty even start with him, and then he
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: got hurt and he's been down for a while because
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Will hit the scene four touchdown passes first right out
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: of the shoot show and got him going and all that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So they gave you know, Levi us a chance to play.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: But Ryan comes back. He's an accomplished, established, experienced quarterback
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: that can run this offense and and you know, so
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: we've got to get ready for all that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: You said, you know, go does he have to prove
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: any finger in the week to be.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Able to play Sunday, or he's just got to make
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: good day to day, you know. I mean, he's got
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: to go through today and see how he is tomorrow
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: and just just do that like anybody else that's coming back.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: But we're really encouraged that he's going to be all right,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and we won't over attax him, you know, during the
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: week either, but just the workload being mounted should give
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: him the confidence and the trainers and everybody supporting him
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that you know, he's ready to role.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: He said last week it was an open competition for
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: that quarterback spot through Mike Jack and to is is
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: that the case this week?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Or are you going to Noah, We'll see, we'll see.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't really expound expand on that last last week,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: and I'm not no, no, no.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Why was it so important for you guys to run
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the ball the way you did uh in the third
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: quarter on?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Well, it's because we didn't get to do it in
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: the first quarter like we wanted to do as one
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: part of it. We wanted to see where we were
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: right off the bat.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But we you know, like we've talked about our drives
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: got messed.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Up, and we didn't we didn't get at it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: You know, Mike, you watched this for a long time.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: You know, the the rhythm that you get when when
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: the when you can run the ball with with success
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: that comes off of everything off of that, the passing
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: game and and the pass rush, uh, the play actions
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: and all that stuff that you can do. It just
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: makes you as as complete as is a team as
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: you can present with your opponent, you know. So I
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: love the attitude of it, and love seeing the big guys,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: you know, getting fired up about the fact that we
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: were able to do it and and and uh in
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: that fashion. Guesst a really good club. Those guys were
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: giving up eighty yards a game rushing or.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: You know, so uh it j I think it just
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: adds to m M to the the overall pres presentation
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: of how we wanna play.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: That was the the first game Abel Lucas has played
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in the full way for you guys since he got back.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: How'd you feel he made it through? How he is
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: now from a outstandpoint.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: All the way back and he's fine. Yeah, he's he's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he's in full flow. He's he's ready.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: How did How did week respond to the open competition
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Playing he's battling. He's battling. Yeah, battling just like that's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: what it is.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Competition is a is a marvelous factor. And uh, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: really it's because guys deserve the chance. And Trey Brown
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: has played well too, you know, the guys have all
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: played well. And uh, with that, without definite, it just
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: opened up kind of an opportunity for guys. We just
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: try to make the most of it. It doesn't mean
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: anything about going forward. There's no statement we're making about it,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: you know, for the future or anything like that, other
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: than we're always competing and we're trying to figure out
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the best way to get our guys to the very
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: best they can be.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: What did what did Already Burns? Oh Arty Burns?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: What what did he?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: What did he provide for you guys last week?
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for asking about it. Already played great. He
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: played a really good football game and he made his hits.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: His coverage stuff was good, his disguises were good. He
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: pressured a number of times in the game. He really
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: filled despite knocked the ball down one time, had a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: couple of nice tackles. I thought he made a point
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: about it, you know that he was one of the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: guys that really played a really good football game for
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: our club.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: He did, he didn't I remember until like May, but
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: just kind of getting him getting back against the time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: A guy he's got a lot of experience of being
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: able to kind of play a role like that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, and I I think already came
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: back with a different little bit different resolve this time.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And and uh, and he's been the best he's been.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Really, he's he's been and he's been consistent, whether he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: been corner, playing inside, he's been consistent about it, special
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: teams as well. Uh, it's it's it's really been fun
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to see because he's a great kid and r Hedy
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: loves him and to see him do well and support
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: and help the team and all that kind of stuff.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: And really he's playing the best he's played for us.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: And so that's that's a great statement.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Ken Walker had his first big game since coming back
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: in an injury, and like Curtis asked about Lucas coming back,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: it feels like the first time all year you had
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: your running backs and your offensive line all healthy at
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: the same time.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: What does what do you what does that mean to you?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I guess at this point with three games.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Left, I think you we could feel the continuity, he
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: could feel the confidence that it comes from those guys
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: all working together. Uh, Kenny's a marvelous player, and uh,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: you could see how how he contributes a running game,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: throwing game in such special ways.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So to have him because when we didn't have him,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: y you could feel it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: You know, he's got some some stuff to him that
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: makes them really unique. So it just helped everybody's feeding
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: off of one another kind of in that regard, you know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: And uh, it's really a good compliment for the guys
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: up front to feel that and feel their impact in
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the game that way.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: When the amount of mistackles he was able to create
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and that warner, how big.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Was that for you guys to have him do that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the number is on that one.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: It's specifically personally for him, but just the playmaking, you know.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: And and it's so exciting when you have a runner
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: or or a player that s it's kind of surprises
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: you with the the great things that they do. It's
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: you you're always in anticipation and maybe he's gonna go here,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: maybe he's gonna go there. And when you play a
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: guy like that, you you defend accordingly. You know, you're
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: concerned every time there's space, you're worried that something could happen.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: And sometimes when he's in trouble, he gets out of
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: trouble and makes things happen.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So you just never at EA's about it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: And that's a it's a great factor when you have
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: that on your side and you you make the other
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: guys have to feel that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So he he definitely does that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: When you look at the San Stevens, they are really
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: good in the red zone. What is it that they
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: that they do differently when you get.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Side, they're really tough.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: They're a tough group and they play freely physical to
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. When they have all their guys,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: they're there as good as anybody we play. And uh,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: they they're aggressive, they're gonna make you have to beat him,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and they don't let you run the football. It's really
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: what it's so so good about it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: A lot of fans have noted after the game, you're
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: now four and oh when you wear a hat, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: what do you what do you make of that stat?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: And you do you feel any pressure to.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Wear one going forward? Really?
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. Well, we're gonna have to take
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: that under consideration.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: How big were oh Man? Thanks for asking, Thanks for asking.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know that we you know, with all the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: things that were going on that we talked about it
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: clearly enough thought what an incredible finish he had of
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: that game.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, he he just rocked the house. Man.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: He every every every play, the route that he ran
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: to get open, the low ball that he catches, the
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: other phenomenal grab that he makes in traffic and hangs
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: on to a football that you know, nobody would think
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: he could catch, beautiful play he makes on the deep ball,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: guys all around him on a great throw, and all that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: But coming through if you noticed he was really focused,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: he did. He expedited the timing of the of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: sequence as well. He had the ball in his hands,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: you know, for almost sixty yards of that that drive,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: but he had to keep the rhythm of it going
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: by getting the ball back to the official and doing
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: the the discipline things that we do. He did everything
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: just impeccably. I just think he he he took the
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: game over, is what it looked like. And and uh
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: thought it was a it was a great thing to watch.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: When you this spring, would you learn about him that
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you liked?
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's really smart, really bright, kid in command, confident,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: really impressive.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He's a very impressive guy.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: And uh, you know, we we thought we thought he
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: was as as good as a prospect as anybody in
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: the in the group there did.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: So, are you taking too surprise.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Starting, No, it doesn't at all.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: No, he he's he's so he's so sharp that I
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: he could handle it and put it in the right perspective. Man,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know that to you really get with him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: But that's what our impressions were, and we really thought
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of 'em.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Kay, in the youth of your team, how did they
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: how do you get them or coach them to handle
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: the success.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: They had Monday night after the failures 'em.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Gray, That's so important to me to to deal with
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: that and to always be on that that that we've
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: been working a you know, all throughout the season and
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: as long as we're together. It's it's there's a mentality
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: about how you handle success as well as how do
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: you handle the the the setbacks and we we work
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: to develop a discipline by our routine that makes us
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: get back into the habits that get you, you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: focusing on the next thing that's out there. And so
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: we go right back to basics and fundamentals and uh
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: and really make a big deal about it. And I'm
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: pitching like crazy to try to draw our focus into
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: all of those aspects of what happens on the football
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: field so that you can't be you can't.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Be occupied with what's going on before.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: And so I think that's as important, uh, particularly as
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: you're finishing the season and particularly when you get into
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: playoff time. And so we're trying to develop the discipline
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: that it takes to really own that so that when
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: the time comes, we can be at our best, you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: to take advantage of here we are, fourth quarter, you know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: it's closing time, and I'm hoping that we can do
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: that this week and we'll try to crank it up
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: again next time.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: They are mastering that mentality.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our guys do bounce back.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: We've played hard throughout the season, and so that that's
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: that's the first indicator, is.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Everybody focused on the end to it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I've always played well, but We've played hard, and I
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: think the the challenges of the schedule as it's been
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: to get us to this point right now have have
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: made us the best we've been all season.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I think we're at our very best right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Now because what we've we've been up against, we've been
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: sharpening it against the best the NFL can offer. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: so hopefully we can use that down stretch here and
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: it could we can play really good ball and and
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: you know, in this game and then.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: We'll take it to the next one. But we couldn't.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: The setup, as hard as it was, couldn't have been
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: better for us, And so we'll see what happens
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Anything else.
