  Speaker 2: people in fans film, how are you preparing for this week?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: What was your grip rec Yeah, just like any other game,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: just try to not build it up too much. In
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: my head and just try to go out there and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: play my game. Does it at least feel different though,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: just because this is like NFL style tournament in a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: way playoffs? Yeah, I mean maybe not right now, but
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as it gets closer maybe so. But like you said,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's never been a home hosted playoff game,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: so that'll be cool for sure. Did you take away
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: from last year when you guys played Washington in that
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: playoff experience the first time? Few?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Obviously, what can you take away from that? What'd you
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: learn from that experience?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, for all the guys that have came
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: back after that, we got a lot of experience and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in a big time game like that, and you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we took away that in games like that, things are gonna.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Go wrong, things are gonna go right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Just gotta keep playing when the I mean, just try
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to get the battle of the playmakers and let them
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: go to work at the end of the day. It's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it sounds like a simple answer, but I mean that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: kind of just how simple it is.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Quinn, you and Taff were exactly the best terms in
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the twenty twenty one state championship game. You know, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: intercepted you obviously on that final play. But could you
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: have ever imagined that that guy would have been like
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: such a reliable teammate now.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Like during the game or like after the game.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I knew he was a good player obviously in high school,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and like you said, he's just like the backbone of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that defense and ultimate, I mean, really just a backbone
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of this team. Everyone follows Taff and believes in what
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Taff says, and he's just an.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Awesome teammate to have, for sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I guess, like looking at it, you only think about
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the good whenever you're a kid. But that's just life though,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, stuff's gonna come your way. It's just you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: gotta keep keep moving forward. But it's been fun for sure.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: What's what's been the most enjoyable part and what's been
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the most miserable, most enjoyable man, besides talking about here,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I'd say just getting to know all these guys from
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: different different demographics and.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Just learning their stories and just getting to know guys
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: from all over the country. That football, I mean, football
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: has given me the opportunity to opportunity to get to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: know them.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And without without this team and without football.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have been able to build
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the relationships that I've built over the past three or
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: so years. Yea, most most what was it miserable? Man,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It's all just been a learning experience and and nothing's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: really been super miserable for me.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: It's all.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's all been a good time. Well, I think just
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I think we're hurting ourselves at the end of the day.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got no problems moving the ball and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: having explosive plays and whatnot. But you know, whether that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: be penalties or.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Loss of yard, it's on passes, runs, whatever it is.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, we just got to remain confident when we
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: past that twenty thirty yard line.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Quinton much recruited by Clinton and Dado Caniana High.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: School and it's been a while, I think a little bit,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: but I don't think I got offered by him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: And so much of that twenty one game was maybe
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: to be against Katee and what you guys would do
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: in the futures and talking.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: About back to full circle and all of the.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Quarterbacks of their home of this again and do you
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: have any relationship with them?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's definitely cool for sure. And meet me
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and Kaid having good relationship and he's a cool dude.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's definitely cool to get to play each other again.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Like you said, it comes full circle and whatnot.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the full circle being, of course, the UIL six
• 4:46
