  Speaker 1: Take us through Jake Bobo is phenomenal catch there on
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the sideline and getting both feet down and bounds.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was a great play called by
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Sean Shane, sorry, a great play design by Kerry Joseph.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought Bubbo did an excellent job of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a double move, so he did
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: an excellent job of, you know, trying to get the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: guy to buy. Really didn't bite as much as we
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: thought he would, but he still you know, won at
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the end and was just giving him an opportunity ball,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you know, in the back of the end zone. I mean,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: phenomenal footwork.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: You know, now we can say Jake's probably up there
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: with Tyler when it comes down to the.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Toe drag swag.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: So you know, that was a great job by him
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and obviously an awesome call and great protection all around
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What did you see on Jackson's touchdown?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, another great design, man, you know, I don't think
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: they get any more open than that. You know, Coach
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: called it up, doted up for the right coverage.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We got exactly what we wanted. You know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: The protection was great, gave me a chance and then Jackson,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously ran this route, made a great catch
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and scored.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's great. It's great for him to get
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that first touchdown. Hero is involved. You know, I think
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it was huge, man.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I think it was huge for you know, not only
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Jackson and Bobo, but I think it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Was huge for just our our overall offense.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You know, to see those guys continue to step up
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and make great plays and for their confidence and and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously for the chemistry that we're we're building together.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I think it was great. And so obviously there's gonna
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: be a ton of guys who have an opportunity to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: step up on this offense and do great things. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: for those two guys, man, I'm just so proud and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: so happy for him. You know, I think we uh,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you know, if I'm being honest, I don't think we
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: played up to our standard.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I think I you know, personally, I feel like we
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: left a lot out there.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And I mean it's the league.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Any anyone you get you're gonna be happy with, right,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: so wins to win. But you know, it's it's kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of this weird feeling that I got, you know, uh,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: specifically that you know, feeling like I haven't done enough,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: haven't played my best game. But you know still, you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: know we're winning, and uh, you know we're getting the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: job done. But you know, a lot a lot left
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: out there, I feel like, So I'm so excited to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: get to work tomorrow so we can fix those things,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: clean up the mistakes that I've been making, and you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: try and play a complete clean game. Uh yeah, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: mean play call. I was a sprint left and initially
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: got covered. I thought Bubbo did a great job at
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know, extending the place to the second play he
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: wheeled up, was actually open on the sideline, was giving
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: him a shot, you know, was gonna throw that high
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: ball maybe he can get his feet in, and my
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: arm got hit, you know, obviously changed the trajectory of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the football. And uh, those are things again that I'm
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: talking about, right, Like, if we clean up those mistakes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: How good can we be? Right?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And so as always I put that on myself. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: no one else made that mistake for me, and so
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I just got to be better in those situations. What
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: about the again, just you know bad by me, a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: mistake you know that can't happen, you know, putting our
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: defense in tough situations. You know, Luckily, we have a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: great defense that we have that continues to go out
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: there and show us that no matter where where the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: situation is or what it is, they have backbone, Uh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they're they're gonna go out there and stop them.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And so I mean you talk about.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Playing complete team football, That's what it's about, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: offense and defense helping each other. But uh, I think
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we got to do a way better job and not
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: putting them in those situations. And I got to be
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: better in those situations myself.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know you moved up to number six all
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the time of the passing touchdowns? What does that mean
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to you as of right now?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just you know, happy to have this opportunity,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you know, happy to you know, be able to go
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: out there and compete and play with the guys, Happy
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to be a part of this organization. To even say that,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you know, my name is somewhere in the record books.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So just very thankful and grateful. This is the different
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: offensive line combination you've had in six games. Just what
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: do you say about the way those guys keep getting
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: job done?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I got the ultimate faith in those guys up front.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I know how hard they prepare.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You know, we communicate myself in the linemen, the guards,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the centers. We talk all week about you know, front, protections,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: run game. We're in this thing together, all the eleven
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: playing together, but it starts up front, as we all know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And just proud of the way those guys have, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: accepted the coaching they you know, coach coach Andy is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: doing a great job at preparing those guys during the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: week and having them on point for game day. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: so whenever whoever's out there, we know they're gonna get
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the job done.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, just happy to be a part of it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You haven't played the best game, you're still the season
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: as a whole, or today today, and just as a whole.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I just feel like I haven't, you know, played nowhere
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: near to where I'm capable.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And uh, I.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Mean, like I said, it's hard, man, It's tough. They're
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: out there, They're gonna try and stop us and shoot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I believe I you know, I have a tremendous amount
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of talent and uh, you know, I put the work in.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I study, you know, I know what's going on out there,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's just one or two mistakes, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in just about every game that I keep coming up
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: here and talking about. But I feel like if I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: can clean those things up, you know, where can we
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: go as an offense.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm starving for.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm ready to get back to work
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: tomorrow so that we can correct that. The series when
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you got to the one and then couldn't get it in,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: did they just kind of have good defenses against you?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Guys are sort of yeah. I mean they they did
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a great job at keeping us out. They you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: they they were styt up front, you know, And that's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: something again, like I said, we got to be better
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in the red zone.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: We got to execute better.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I gotta you know, help us out in any way
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that I can in those situations. And you know, those
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: are things that, like I said, you can look at
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and say, man, we're one of the best offenses and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: we still haven't reached our peak yet, you know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So that's that's a positive thing.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, we gotta look at it glass
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: half glass half full right here. So I think we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: can be a lot better, especially in the red zone.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think we did better.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: On third down today, But overall, we just got to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: keep working. If that's every player're excited about the throw that,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: but judging.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm super excited. I can't wait.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to you know, have them on and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: see the fans. You know, everyone's gonna be excited about it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Can you remember a.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Time in your any football league five different starting offensive
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: line combinations? Honestly, I don't even count, you know, I don't.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't remember a time. But I'm not even looking
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: at it like that, you know, I'm I trust every
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: single guy who's who's out there, I know. I mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it's think about being an offensive lineman, right, like just
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you know how hard they got to work throughout the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: game and they rarely receive the credit they deserve. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: without those guys, nothing happens, nothing can go. And so
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: any guy that we have out there, we trust those
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: guys to do their job, just as all all the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: other guys.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Got to do his job.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm just happy to have those guys in front
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of me, and they've been playing great, and you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I just got to keep keep you know, making them better.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Right, Thank you
