  Speaker 1: Obviously, it got the ground game going. What did you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: see out of the offensive line today, Man, they played awesome.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I mean just the consistency and the run game. How
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: we were able to keep drives going because we could
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: run the ball. Those guys moving people obviously, Cole van Landon,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I mean stepping up big time with Anton out, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I mean it's just guys ready to play. I mean
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Cole played guard, played left guard last week, started it
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: right tackle today and that's impressive. I mean, I don't
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think in many people, including myself, know how
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: hard that is to do. And he was he was awesome,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and the whole group up front was great and just
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: playing with that fire, that energy, you know, moving people physical.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The backs did an awesome job seeing it running hard.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I mean everything receivers, tight ends blocking.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Tur Her back to the wristband today. But it was
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: that first time this year. What was the reasoning for
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: that and how much did it help today?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You think?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was something that we had talked
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: about earlier in the season potentially doing it, and then
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: just had gotten used to not using it, so we
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: stayed away from it. And then after last week I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: felt like we were kind of down on the play
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: clock a couple of times, and we just decided, hey,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: let's let's do it for situational stuff, third down, red
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: zone and some other things in some of the longer
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: calls and just try to get the operation moving a
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: little quicker, maybe, you know, limit some of the penalties
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of just because we're getting to the line a little late.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So I think it helped today. You know, I felt
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: like we got out of the hudle pretty quick. There's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: still some stuff we can work on getting in and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: out and getting up there, and we got a few
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: off late.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But I thought I thought it helped for sure.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Liam talked about this team. You could tell last night
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you guys were really pissed about obviously what happened last week.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So could you tell that not just individually with guys,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: but that the whole group was kind of pissed after
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: what happened.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I mean just last night, yeah, I mean just the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: whole week.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I think guys understood how important this game was today
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: as far as just our team and where we're at.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And it's a game you gotta win.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You're playing a good AFC team getting into November later
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: in the season, you know, you start to look at
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: your schedule and the games and you're starting to run
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: out opportunities. And I just think for all of us,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we know how important this game was after we gave
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: one away last week in Houston, obviously, and it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a great way to bounce back for us. I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: complimentary football, offensive defense, special teams, everyone you know pitched in.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We've fed off one another, the energy of the momentum,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: It was a fun day.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: What does that look like? The being angry part? Because
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Liam also said, you guys are kind of quiet all week?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Is it you guys talking about it in the locker room?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Does it show up on practice? Does it show up
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: pre game?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I mean I just think it's you know, as far
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: as your team and the maturity and leadership.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Of your team, just knowing what you have to do.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And it's not about trying to convince yourself and all
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the raw rad and hyping yourself up. It's about guys
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: just knowing what they have to do, playing loose, playing free,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: playing confident. I think that's something that we did today
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and guys just excited to be out there. That was
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: something we talked about too. Is just you know, don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: put any extra pressure on yourself. Just go out there
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and play.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know, we prepare hard all week, We're ready.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Just go cut it loose on Sunday and I think, guys,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it was a great example of guys doing that today.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And of course there's always stuff that we can clean up,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: but it was I mean, it was a great, great
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: day for us, and it was fun, Trevor.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I know, it's always fun to execute as well as
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: you guys do today, but a lot of new wrinkles
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: in the game plan plays we hadn't seen all year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: How much fun was it putting everything together this week
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: and saying, oh, we may have these guys a couple
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: of times here.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It was. It was cool.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I felt like we had a really good plan, had
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: some had some good stuff, and we missed a couple
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: opportunities too, you know. You know, so I'm walking over,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I was kind of kicking myself about the one third
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and short to Quinton down the left side. Obviously had
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to kind of get out of some pressure, but wish
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I would have hit that one. You know, we had
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: some we had some great stuff, had a great plan,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: guys executed it, but we also stayed on schedule, we
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: didn't have penalties, didn't have sacks.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: O line played awesome.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, guys ran hard, kept ourselves in manageable situations,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and we converted on third down. So we had a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: lot of opportunities to get all these things off the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: card because we just stayed on the field just dominated.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Especially what was that like calling it just like everything
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was clicking at GasPort.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I just think on offense, we stayed really focused all
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: game long, and we understood how important each possession was
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and trying to take advantage of it and and obviously
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: get points, go score touchdowns, not set not settling for
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: field goals. So you know, like I said, running the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: ball I helped did all those things. We ran the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ball really well, converted when we needed to on third down.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: We hit some stuff in the past game obviously didn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: even have as many opportunities because we ran.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The ball so well. But uh, guys were just sharp.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know. The protection was great.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I think the communication up front with all the different looks.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, LA does a good job of presenting some
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: different looks on defense, and.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We we really prepared hard for it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Guys made plays, you know in the back end and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and they did, I mean did an awesome job. So
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I think just stay on schedule was huge. And for us,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we got down the red zone when the quarter flipped
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to the fourth quarter.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And we knew this was that was a big drive.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: We gotta finish it to score a touchdown, chance to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: potentially put them away. The game's not over, but we
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: felt like if we can go up and get a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: touchdown here.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It was. It was big for us.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: What Logan say to you after the game about not punting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: No punts, no punts, no field goals today, so uh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it's a good day for the specialist. So that's that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: his first time ever having that, he said. So we
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: took a they wanted to take a picture in the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: locker room holding up the zeros for no punts, so
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, obviously Ross still had had to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: stress on third down in case we didn't get it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: He gets himself pretty hyped up. But I didn't have
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to punt today.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So it was great. Did you get in the picture, Yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I got it. It was it was me Ross and Logan,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: so it was it was good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's cool when you can give your
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: your punter a day off, So that was the first
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: time I think I've done that as well.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So it's cool.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Treever, You've been teammates for Josh for a while now.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Just what was it like seeing him break the franchise.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Record he just walked in, I asked, right in front
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of him. No, I can't say enough good things about Josh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We've been through a lot here together and man, just
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the way he works, the way he goes to work
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: every day, the person he is, you know, he deserves it. Man,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he's a great person, great player. Obviously, that speaks for itself.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But it's cool seeing the right people, you know, be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: able to do things like that. So there's a lot
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: more in front of him and for this team, a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: lot more for us to do.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great year.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And but definitely should give him his flowers because that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a that's a big deal, franchise sack leader. Thanks guys,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: appreciate it, joshuas it mean to you to get the record,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but get it in and a win and such a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: team win all the way around, such a blowout fashion.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, it felt great.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: I think our energy was up all game from the beginning,
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: from the first playoff defense, try to getting an intentional grounding.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: I wish they can call those as sacks, but you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: to affect the game and then first, second down and
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: third Now just getting off the field, you know, our
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: energy was hiding and special teams you just here had
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: a heck of a game on kickoff, made a lot
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: of big plays for us in an offense. Man, it
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: was just unbelievab to be a part of and for
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: me just to break the record. You know, it was
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: just cool from the many achievements that have happened today.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: So cool to be, you know, be a part of that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: And let's keep stagging.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, Josh, how did it feel to see guys like
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Danny Stragou, bj Green, you know, everybody coming, Christian braswell,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: just being able to come in and do what they
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: did today?
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Manoks, Man, those my rooks, man, And I'm so I'm
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: I'm so proud of those.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: I'm so proud of those dudes. Man.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: They worked their tails off every day in practice.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: You know, they come in, they're one of the first
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: people in the building, one of the last to lead
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: the meeting rooms. You know, if that's me next year,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: you know, with the coach or just watching film themselves.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: They're true pros, man, and you know I want to
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: help lead them down in the right direction and kind
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: of maintain that because they can play obviously, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: undrafted both be undrafted to make them fifty three, man,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: that's unbelievable, and for them to keep making strides every
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: single day and making plays when we need them. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: told Danny Man he was one of the sparks. You know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: we had a couple of sparks, but he was one
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: of those guys that kind of keep sparking it for us.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: And you know, I thank them and told him to,
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: you know, keep staying within the game and next No,
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: you don't know when that next opportunity is going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: be here for you.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Josh, is there any relief in getting the record and
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: maybe now being done with the record chase? Now it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: just padding on padding on padding on moving forward.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think it was never a chase thing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: It was just like for me just playing football and
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: doing what I needed to do. So I mean, I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: ready to go out watch this film out Who are
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: we playing next week?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Arizona?
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Good young team, I think, and go out there and
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: play as fast as I can. As far as I
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: can and play the same game plan we played today.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: And Coach said, you guys were pissed this week about
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: last week's result, and he said it showed up in
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the team meeting, it showed up everywhere. Can you just
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: take us through, like what does that look like for
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you guys? And what we saw in the field was
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that a result of being of how weekended and being
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: pissed all week?
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: You know, I think that week needed an extra motivational,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: you know message from having a loss like that. But
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: again it's like, you know, we're happy this week, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: how are we going to pisch ourselves off?
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: And I don't. I don't think that's them that needs
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: to be the model.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: I think we need to take each week separately and
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: have the same attention to details that each player then
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: came out with this week to have. And I think
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: that's where our focus needs to kind of remain. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: if we tend to stay within that type of focus
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: as a team, as individuals, we will have the we
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: will continue to have the outcomes that we're having today.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Josha.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: When you're left the overall flow of the game, you
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: get them off the field, you're up seven to three,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: give the ball back to the offense. Trevor throws a
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: bad pick. You guys, sudden change plus territory. How critical
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: was it for you guys to hold them to a
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: field goal there and kind of slowed them about I'm
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: down there end.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was massive at the end of the day.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Man, I'll just you know, it's just one of those
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: games where you know, you go out there on the
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: field and you know, as a defense and you know
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: they can't piss it drop. And if we continue to
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: hold them the field goals, obviously they're in kind of
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: that fringe area you know, to first down gets them
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: to you know, a good field goal range. So for
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: us to continue to play, you know, give them behind
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: the sticks, keep them behind the sticks, was was great.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: And so for us, it's deferently we just knew, you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: the way the game was going, it wasn't gonna score.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: And for us to keep making those big plays and
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: critical moments. I think that was a critical moment because
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: if they score now it's seven to seven or I
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: don't know what the score was, they take the lead,
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: so and now.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: We're playing from behind.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: So it's always good when we play play from a
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: lead and continue that momentum and just play good team football.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Yo, Josh, you're getting to that time of year where
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: teams are trying to build some momentum.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: How do you guys build off of this win?
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Connection?
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: And like, like I told Mark, I think it's from connection,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: and it's from the attention to details that we like
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: we have to have, you know, starting with myself, you know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: how do I How am I approaching practice each and
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: every day to the next guy, to Eric, to Trey,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: to the t Foyer, to Devin to Ventral, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: to the secondary, to the offensive line, to the you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: wide receivers. How was everyone coming into the week open minded,
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: get the game plan? Play, was cleaning played and don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: mess it, don't get a flag?
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Josh?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: So how do you capture that pissed off feeling without
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: having anything to be pissed off about?
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Again?
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: I think it was just like being pissed off was
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: great for us because we lost in the way we lost,
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: especially to a team, So like at that current moment,
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: we needed to play pissed off next week, you know, obviously,
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: I mean, what are we gonna find something to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: pissed off about? I think being pissed off kind of
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: made people focus on their details, focus on what I
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: have to come into this building and do. Maybe I
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: have to come up earlier and get extra treatment. Maybe
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: you have to do more studying, Maybe you have to
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: be in the playbook a little bit more. Maybe you
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: have to study something differently. I did something, you know.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: I think that put more focus on Everybody has to
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: be where they need to be, and that's the if
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: that if that's the focus that we have moving forward, man,
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: we'll be a tough team to be
