  Speaker 2: You heard the laugh?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Has the laugh?
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: No, man, I love laughing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It was that another touchdown? The hard hit on the touchdown?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Or is it a different play?
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The first drive?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I think the third down going into the Uh what
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I got hit on the goal line?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Does that game any more physical than any of you
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: involved in?
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I mean football is a physical sports, so you really
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: can't gauge, you know, how physical is a game is
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: gonna be or you know, the games in the past
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: have always been uh, you know physical. But I will
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: say that Lion's team was, you know, a physical team
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to play. You know, their coach is always gonna have
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: them ready, and I think they feed off the energy
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: of their coaching. You know, that's just the type of
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: culture that they've built over there.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: You've been around this team an organization enough to know
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: what a fourth quarter overtime win can do. For the
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: young players who haven't been through that. What does last
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: week's outcome help going forward?
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I think it just gives them a perspective that the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: game is never over and just to always keep fighting
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and always uh you know they hear Pete talk about
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you know, finishing or do right longer all the time,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and they really haven't been in that, you know position
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: to you know see us, uh you know go through
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: uh that type of scenario. So you know, just for
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: us to one get a win of that caliber and
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: just for us to finish the way that we did,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I think, uh, you know, it just gives us an
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: energy boost and you know it gives you know, the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: young guys some experience. Uh, you know in that type
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: of scenario.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: That's big for you guys as an offense to have
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: a game like that and finish like that after what
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: happened the week before, Yes.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Sir, I mean we we played one bad half of
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you know, offensive football, and you know, just for us
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to answer, you know, just come out and put you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the amount of points that we did and you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: for Geno to have the type of day that he
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: did and then the old line to play you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the way that they did, you know, just really speaks
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: volumes of the type of offense that we can have
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and can continue to have that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Home crowd in the home or so how much your
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: motivation is it for you to show the home crowd
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: this week with this team is really made up.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a lot of motivation because you never wanna,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you know, get beat at home and uh, you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: if you wanna you know, sustain in this league and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to win in this league, you have to be able
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to you know, protect your home, uh your home uh stadium.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: So uh, you know, it's just to get back to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: square one. You know, the win was nice, but it
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: was time to focus on the Carolina Panthers. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a young, hunger team who's gonna try to come in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: here and find a win of their own. So, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: with with that in mind, you got to just get
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: back to you know, what we do best, and you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: just play hard nose football. Defense, gets stops and just
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: offense continue to put points on the board.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: That overtime drive last week? What's Gino like out there
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the huddle leading you guys down the field forward?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: How do how's this kind of demeanor?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: What?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: What what is he like in those moments to be guys? Uh?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I mean Gino is always calm, collected, and you know
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: he's always I've never seen him flinch or blank or
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you know, show uh any sign of weakness uh throughout
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the game, whether that be the first quarter, second quarter,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: or overtime. He's always been the same and you know
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: he's gonna always continue to be the same. And that's
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you know, be the fearless leader that you know we
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: we asked him to be, and that he's gonna continue
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Carolina instead a pretty good job taking away passing yards
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: in their first two weeks. What have you seen through
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the secondary and.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Their defensive scheme.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, they they keep an umbrella coverage to where
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: they make you get tired of taking the underneath routs
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: or taking the checkdowns to you know, get tired and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: make you wanna, you know, force the ball deep. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: you know we're I know, Geno's not gonna do that,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and Shane's not gonna you know, put us in a
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: position to do that. So you know that we're gonna
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: take what they give us. And uh, at the end
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: of the day, they still have to you know, guard us.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: They had to stay out the account for Ori eleven
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and not the other way around.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I know that you're studying the defense, but when you
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: look at a guy like Adam sealand who's been around
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the league for a while, what can you appreciate about
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: his game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Uh, his consistency. He's always consistent.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: You know, whether that would be you know, with Minnesota
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: or his first year with uh Carolina, He's always gonna
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: be consistent.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna make the big play when you
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: ask him to. And you know, whenever you need a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: big player or a third down conversion, he's gonna be
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: In the advantage to being able to watch it next
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: opponent live like you guys do with the Lions.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And we won, and then Pat's playing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: On money then uh, I mean yeah for some people,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: but you know, I'm playing Call of Duty or Mortal Kombat.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So didn't have much time to do that. No, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: did watch the game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: That begs a follow up about what is your character
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: in Mortal Kombat?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'm a Luke King, Uh Johnny Cage rating scorpion sub zero.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I random, but depends on how I feel.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: MM.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: You've gone up against Trey Brown and practice plenties. What'd
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: you think what he was able to do last week
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: of coming bench in place for Riek, getting that sack,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: the pick six, just all the different plays he made.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's all he's been doing in training camp
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: was making plays, uh, you know, catching pigs. He got
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a sack, accidental sack. I told him you need a
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: asterisk beside that one cause he was definitely on his
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: knees right there. But uh, pauls But yeah, I mean
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: he he made a lot of players. He stepped in,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: uh you know when and the defense needed them, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you know, he stepped up and made a lot of players.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And uh, without his performance, we definitely wouldn't have been,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you know, able to win that game. Uh think tylervision,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You guys aren't supposed to reach for the problem.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Is that just because of the fear of losing it?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: That yes, sir, I mean they tell us not to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: reach for it unless it's fourth down or in the game.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: So but when you know, you know, so Tyler knew.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah. I don't know if we'd asked you, Uh,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: maybe we have.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: But about Tyler and the whole real estate venture, what
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: do you think of that?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I mean he sold me my last place that I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in now. So Uh, just for him to be able
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to do that and balance football and not miss a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: beat on the football field, it's just speaks volumes of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the type of person he is, type of player he is.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I mean he's taking it very seriously. So that's all
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: he wants to talk about. Uh, on the side when
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: we're not talking about football, And I'm pretty sure I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: can get my real estate license with as many conversations
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: as we've had. But Uh, I mean he's this is
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: always you know, looking to you know, expand himself, and uh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: this is one way he's doing it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: What was like working with him?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Great?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Uh. Even my financial advisor commented on him and he
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: was like, Bro, Tyler's very thorough with his work. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, that's that's locked, you know, day
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: in and day out. So I mean he left a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: good impression on a lot of people.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Just skimp on the commission a little bit. So what
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you skimp on him in the commission a little bit?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: That's that's between me and Tyler.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: How much more dangerous did your offense all the tight
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: ends get involved the way they did at Sunday?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I think the offense is dangerous when you know the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: tight ends get involved, the running backs, the receivers, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you know, you really can see the type of you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: uniqueness we have in the offense with Ken and Zach
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and DJ in the backfield me Jackson, Bobo Tyler, uh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Cody Thompson and then like you mentioned, all three of
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the tight ends when everybody just gets a chance to
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: be out there on the field. It's really just a unselfish,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: you know mindset that we have on offense, and you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it just opens up a lot of the things that
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: we're able to do, uh, you know with running the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: ball and passing the ball.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know, thanks for your thinks.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: They got me
