• 0:12
  Speaker 1: game one the game two and how they played their
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: best football in the fourth quarter.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a great way to finish the game.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: In particular way Sam in particular finish some plays on that. Yeah,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I I think Sam's had a really positive start to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the season. I love how you know after an early
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: early interception off of a great play by Ramsey, that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: he was kept firing and kept kept staying confident.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And UH can't say enough good.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Things about what he's been as a leader for our
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: offense and our football team.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: What aspect of his game stands out most games.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: In two years. Uh.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: He his accuracy, He's accuracy, he's aggressive, and you know
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: he's uh he reads the defense extremely well. He's he's intelligent,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he checks every box as as that he wanted as
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. He made great play with his legs at
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the end of the game off.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Of a off of a.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Tough protection, he went and made a play. Him and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: AJ so great players are playmakers, and that's what Sam is.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: What have you learned about him in two games?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't know until the game's got real about Sam. Uh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it's been the same way he's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: been throughout training camp. He's really he's really steady. You know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get too high, too low. He's just onto
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the next play, has a short memory and uh continues
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to stay aggressive calm.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Is that for the guys on the sidebar?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta imagine it. It's it's a it's good
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for those guys. But that's just how Sam is. He's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just that's that's the way that he leads. That's uh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that's how God made him.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And he just stays the course. He keeps playing.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Walk up to him after a drive, but it doesn't
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: go so well.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I think we're pretty similar that way, is that we're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we're both pretty uh, pretty steady guys. And that's what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: makes it fun when you see him get get animated
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and get excited. You know how important it is to him.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So it's fun to fun to be a part of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: being the fire with him and all of his teammates.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Do you ever get that late?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Sometimes?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just try to just try to be myself. Just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like that's all ask of the players. Just be yourself,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be your best self, and none of us can fake
• 2:09

• 2:11
  Speaker 1: best Sam.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Sam was telling us earlier about how Cooper cups one
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: of tho one receivers he's seen that spends a.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Bad times with the quarterbacks, like in the media and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: all that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you've been around receivers who are quite
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: as like into it as Cooper.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: No, he's uh, he's He's the one of the best
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: teammates I've ever been around. He's a he's a leader,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and it's no no bs. Like Sam said, he's in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: there as long as the qbs are. He's got great questions.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's always pushing our offense forward and pushing the coaches
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: How much does his just that the way he sees
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the game shape the player he sees so many times
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he's just in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: The right spot making plays in traffic.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yard got to catch just how much of that's kind
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of the three bulls side of the game.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a huge part of his game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But I really do think he's an elite, elite athlete.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean elite ball skills. And you know, people talk
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: about how smart he is and that's great, but this guy,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Can play the game.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He is athletic, he can he can make every catch,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and he's been a fantastic leader for not only the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: receiver room, but the whole offensive team.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It sounds like he's not afraid to share with you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: guys like what he sees in his input. Is that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: what you mean by pushing the coaches as well?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's he's seen a lot of football,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he's been coached, he's been really well coached, and he's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: got he's got input that helps us every week.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Jaylen Sindel, what are you seeing from him?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And how is he you've pacted that line.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Jaylen's done a heck of a job
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: early on. Uh, you know, we got a long way
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to go. He's he's playing well. You know, he had
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to come out of the game a little bit that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: last week, so he's fighting through some adversity there. But
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I've been been pleased with him and just you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the whole starting five.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I said, the greatest compliment he can give grays Abel
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: is that he doesn't play like a rookie.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Can you just expand on that and what what you've seen?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: What are some of those things that he's doing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think he had a he had block Hayward,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know for a six three snaps last week. One
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of them is gonna be a Hall of Famer. So
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I think he did a solid job. He's he's up
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to the task. You know, he's got he's got talent,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but he's got talent between the years. He's a very
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: steady player. So excited about you know what he brings
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to our offense.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: With George, buts are doing the preseason for you with Sack.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Doesn't pick that this week? What kind of you have
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you seen out of dwarg and this full package w
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: to bring with Davinians.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: There as Yeah, I've just been so impressed with George.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You know, every time it gets an opportunity, makes the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: most of it. H He's just all he does is work.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't doesn't talk a whole lot. He's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just about getting better, about improving and about putting his
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: best self out there. And he's done that every time
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we've asked him go out to practice, and then in
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the preseason as well, but.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: She used obviously a lot of fullback and people think
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: about that from a physicality standpoint. I think you also
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: led the league last year enforcing based defense for defenses.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: How much of those two.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Things connected, and wanted to use a full back to
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: kind of dictate to the defense what personnel packers they use.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I think that part of it, But is just part
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: of us getting you know, getting our best eleven out
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: in the field. And you know, I think Robbie's had
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a had a really solid start to his career and
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: we just want to keep building on some of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: progress that he's made.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Argue with the tight ends of the passing the targeting
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: of him so far.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's time.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I've spent a whole lot of time thinking about just
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: thinking about winning. But the our guys that have been excellent,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we're going to keep spreading the ball around.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That's part of That's part of winning every week is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: getting everybody involved. And that's that's part of my job
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that I can do better.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigbu.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Remind you of anybody that you've either coached or watched
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: a play before.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just this has nothing to do with
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the stature.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But when I was growing up with my dad coached
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, and Andre Johnson was a really was just
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: an elite teammate that was all about the work, like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the way I described George Hallani about getting better and uh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: just a a quiet worker that loves football. So he
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: kind of minds me of Andre.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Mike kind of.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Said, you guys need multiple really good backs scrapping one A,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: one B, ideal situations can and Zach, why is that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the case that you need? Boltipal the tam I'll just
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: just a long season. You know, we're we're rotating them
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in and out. Those guys are playing special teams. It's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not just the sixty four snaps of offense. It's the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: extra twenty snaps of teams that you get. And uh,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you know definitely like to have guys that and utilize
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: their abilities. You know, guys that are better in the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: past game, guys that are better in the run game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But in our offense, you gotta have guys that are
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that can play all three downs and in our running
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: back coach Kennedy does a really good job of getting
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: all those guys ready to go. Is the split how
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it's been so far as mcnonzacht the two games, is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that where you would like it? Yeah, I want both
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: those guys to play as much as possible, so we
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: gotta keep finding ways to get them both involved.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But I see two.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Starters about the operation I went on the road. There's
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: like the third and ten where you guys took a
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: time out in the third seven.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: It was getting close to the clock, Like, what's kind
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of going on there?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are two dead plays that are on on
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: me that I could got to get to play in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: faster and be better for our guys on.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: The fourth and one that turns into a pick.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Like I said, you guys like to play.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Went into the game obviously, but I.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Guess that look you probably want to get out of it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: But whole kind of went wrong there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, credit to the defense.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They made a made a really good play and definitely
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: one you want to have back. And I'm proud of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: our guys for, you know, stepping up in the fourth
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: quarter after something went wrong, fighting.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Through some adversity. That's gonna happen.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have good plays, you're gonna have bad plays,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and you just got to move on to the next one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Anything else, Thanks guys,
