- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, I mean one probo and eleven fourteen. How's that?
- 0:11Speaker 2: Happy for us Man, Good for USS? No, I am.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I am happy for USS. Guy works hard and he's
- 0:17Speaker 2: been he's been playing great for a while, so happy
- 0:20Speaker 2: for him. I mean, it is what it is, not
- 0:24Speaker 2: surprised necessarily that we only have one, just you know,
- 0:27Speaker 2: kind of based off the whole noise around our season.
- 0:30Speaker 2: But that's not why you play. I mean, obviously it's
- 0:33Speaker 2: it's great to get acknowledged for that, and like I said,
- 0:35Speaker 2: happy for Ross and the guys that have got, you know,
- 0:37Speaker 2: credited for that, But you know, that's not why we play. Well,
- 0:41Speaker 2: it's surely be brought out for motivational play. I mean,
- 0:45Speaker 2: who knows, I don't know. I mean, obviously guys see
- 0:48Speaker 2: that and know, and I'm sure guys feel certain ways
- 0:50Speaker 2: about it because you do take pride in your play,
- 0:52Speaker 2: and you know, being recognized for it is is something
- 0:56Speaker 2: you don't know how important it is to everybody. Everybody's different,
- 0:59Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, we're here to
- 1:01Speaker 2: win games, and we've been able to do that as
- 1:03Speaker 2: of recently pretty well, so we just got to continue
- 1:06Speaker 2: to take it one week at a time. Keep that
- 1:09Speaker 2: our main focus. The rest will take care of itself.
- 1:11Speaker 2: You know, we're all playing for something bigger than that,
- 1:13Speaker 2: and we just gonna stick together.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And you know, like our group, how much the last
- 1:19Speaker 1: five weeks you had different leading receiver every week, and
- 1:23Speaker 1: how much of that is game playing like Parker maybe
- 1:25Speaker 1: last week, and how much of that is just it's what's.
- 1:29Speaker 2: There to be honest, it's I mean a little bit
- 1:33Speaker 2: of both. But I would say I don't know. I
- 1:36Speaker 2: don't think there's a week necessarily you go into it
- 1:38Speaker 2: where you're like, oh man, this guy is gonna for
- 1:39Speaker 2: sure have a big game. With our guys, I mean,
- 1:42Speaker 2: we're fortunately we have guys, really good players at really
- 1:46Speaker 2: every position, especially that touched the ball like that. You
- 1:49Speaker 2: look at our wide outs and our tight ends, our
- 1:51Speaker 2: running back. So there's not really no telling whose day
- 1:53Speaker 2: it's going to be. It just coverage dictates that some plays,
- 1:57Speaker 2: you know, turn into scrambles and broken plays turn into
- 2:00Speaker 2: big plays the kind of on Sunday there was a
- 2:01Speaker 2: couple of those. So it's hard to say what it's
- 2:04Speaker 2: going to be, but you you have an idea of
- 2:06Speaker 2: maybe it's like specific third down, red zone, some areas
- 2:09Speaker 2: where guys may maybe have a few more opportunities. But
- 2:12Speaker 2: it's kind of just played out that way for whatever
- 2:14Speaker 2: reason the last few weeks. But it's a credit to
- 2:15Speaker 2: just everybody being ready because you never know who's going
- 2:18Speaker 2: to get more opportunities a certain day. You know, sometimes
- 2:21Speaker 2: that's just how the game goes, and you get you
- 2:22Speaker 2: get fed the rock, and obviously Parker did did a
- 2:24Speaker 2: lot of great things when he got the ball the
- 2:26Speaker 2: last couple of weeks.
- 2:28Speaker 1: This week, was that the best game that you've played
- 2:30Speaker 1: to see?
- 2:32Speaker 2: I hope I keep getting that question. That means to
- 2:34Speaker 2: keep keep playing well every week. So you know, I
- 2:37Speaker 2: thought as a as an offense, we did a lot
- 2:40Speaker 2: of good things. I think there's a lot of stuff,
- 2:41Speaker 2: honestly that we need to clean up. Just some detailed
- 2:45Speaker 2: things that you know, we've talked about today and kind
- 2:47Speaker 2: of rehashed a little bit, But as far as making
- 2:49Speaker 2: plays and big moments and and guys making whether it's
- 2:52Speaker 2: contested catches, obviously giving them a ball they can catch,
- 2:55Speaker 2: putting it near them up front, we protected really well.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Just guys stepping up in a big game. Obviously it
- 3:00Speaker 2: was a big game, and it was a good matchup
- 3:03Speaker 2: or a big matchup for us on the road in
- 3:05Speaker 2: a tough environment, and I was just proud of the
- 3:06Speaker 2: way we really you know, answered the call and started
- 3:10Speaker 2: off really poorly too with the first two series. You know,
- 3:13Speaker 2: we were a little bit out of sorts two three
- 3:15Speaker 2: and outs, and we were able to bounce back and
- 3:17Speaker 2: continue to play and stick together. So that's what I
- 3:19Speaker 2: was mostly you know, proud about. And obviously this part
- 3:23Speaker 2: of the season, quarterbacks gonna play well if you're gonna win.
- 3:25Speaker 2: So I got to continue to to do my part,
- 3:27Speaker 2: and I know guys will do it around me too.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Have you been setting your dive on that scram?
- 3:33Speaker 2: I've seen it a few times. Yeah, it looks pretty funny.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And Marissa showed it to me, was like, what were
- 3:37Speaker 2: you doing here? It's like trying to get the first down.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Uh She's like, well you already had it. I'm like, well,
- 3:41Speaker 2: you can't tell when you're when it's live, you know.
- 3:44Speaker 2: So it looked pretty funny, though.
- 3:47Speaker 3: How has that been, you know, to your game? So
- 3:49Speaker 3: I should this season, you know, just using your legs more,
- 3:51Speaker 3: you know, getting first outs.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, it's important. I think there's uh
- 3:56Speaker 2: Obviously the goalists always distribute the ball on time and
- 4:00Speaker 2: and when you can that's the most efficient. Typically, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 2: kind of limit the pass rush, get the ball to
- 4:05Speaker 2: your hands, get the guys in space that can get
- 4:07Speaker 2: you know, go and run better than I can. But
- 4:08Speaker 2: when plays break down because defenses are good, you know,
- 4:11Speaker 2: whether it's pass rush or just coverage, you know, you
- 4:14Speaker 2: gotta be able to extend some plays and and make
- 4:16Speaker 2: you know, scramble plays throwing the ball or with my legs.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And it's definitely helped us. I think it's always keeping
- 4:21Speaker 2: that balance of still making the plays that are there
- 4:25Speaker 2: without getting out of the pocket too soon or you know,
- 4:27Speaker 2: looking to scramble. So I always think there's a balance
- 4:29Speaker 2: with that. But it's definitely a weapon, and I think
- 4:31Speaker 2: it's helped us and got to continue to use it
- 4:33Speaker 2: at the right time.
- 4:35Speaker 3: It seems like Liam has found some creative ways for
- 4:37Speaker 3: you to use your legs, you know, and just sneaks
- 4:39Speaker 3: or anything like that. I mean, how much have you
- 4:41Speaker 3: appreciated him, you know, just finding a different aspect of
- 4:44Speaker 3: your game to focus on an.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Out there Yeah, I mean he's he's been great, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 2: Liam and our whole staff. Just the way we've been
- 4:51Speaker 2: game planning. I think really we're doing a lot of
- 4:54Speaker 2: different things that put the defense in a bind, whether
- 4:57Speaker 2: that's our running game obviously, the past game stuff has been.
- 5:01Speaker 2: We've had some unique, some cool stuff that we've done
- 5:02Speaker 2: the last few weeks and really throughout the season, and
- 5:04Speaker 2: I just think overall we're executing better. You know, the
- 5:07Speaker 2: game planning process has stayed pretty consistent the whole season,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and I think one thing they do a good job
- 5:12Speaker 2: of is given us all the answers as players, so
- 5:15Speaker 2: we have a lot of opportunities to get in the
- 5:16Speaker 2: right play and have answers versus the right look. And
- 5:19Speaker 2: I think that's something where we've been able to maximize
- 5:22Speaker 2: it the last few weeks and be in a good
- 5:24Speaker 2: play versus you know, the right coverage and the right
- 5:26Speaker 2: defense and have answers and guys, you know that it's
- 5:29Speaker 2: on us too as players to learn all the stuff
- 5:31Speaker 2: because it puts more on your plate. But comes Sunday,
- 5:33Speaker 2: it helps.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You watching Peyton. But is there an admiration of playing
- 5:38Speaker 1: in a game like this against Philip after the game
- 5:42Speaker 1: or anything like that that's kind of cool for you.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be cool. You know, I have a
- 5:46Speaker 2: ton of respect for Philip, a guy that obviously is
- 5:49Speaker 2: an all time great quarterback in this league, and obviously
- 5:52Speaker 2: he's coming back and playing. It's been impressive to see
- 5:55Speaker 2: what he's done the last few weeks. I mean, I
- 5:58Speaker 2: think obviously there's there's no limit to what you can do.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But obviously at that age, people probably thought a certain
- 6:04Speaker 2: thing about how he's gonna play, and he's been playing really,
- 6:06Speaker 2: really well. So it's been cool to watch. Obviously, we'll
- 6:09Speaker 2: look forward to saying what's up to him after the game,
- 6:11Speaker 2: talking to him, meeting him. Never never got a chance
- 6:12Speaker 2: to meet him, so excited about that, and it'll be
- 6:16Speaker 2: fun to be a fun one, So it'd be cool.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Can you imagine last what you would feel like at
- 6:20Speaker 1: forty four years old playing like you know what your
- 6:22Speaker 1: body feels like now at twenty eight?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I can't. I really can't imagine. Got to
- 6:29Speaker 2: give props to him just for what he's doing. I mean,
- 6:32Speaker 2: it is pretty incredible. So I know there's days where
- 6:34Speaker 2: I don't feel great, and I'm a lot I'm a
- 6:35Speaker 2: lot younger, so he's, uh, he's doing a great job.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it,
