• 0:01
  Speaker 1: with him and he hasn't hasn't missed a single game.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: So he's he's as tough as they come. And I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: know he's doing anything and everything he can right now
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to be ready to play. And I mean that's still,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you know, very likely that he plays this week. So
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: how comfortable are you if you have to start very comfortable?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, it's my seventh year in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the league. It's I started a handful of games, and yeah,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a really good feel with a group of guys and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: everything and and the and the plays and all that stuff.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, how.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Much does look quick turnaround for this being a Thursday
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: game as opposed to a Sunday game a change preparation
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: in general, but be Trevor's recovery.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's, uh, it's tough, especially being on
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a short week. You know, getting dinged up on a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: short week is tough. And then also you know, getting
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: reps is is tough too because we were not really
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: doing anything full speed. Almost everything has walked through, dragged
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: through tempo, so you know, not getting you know, all
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the reps, uh, full speed is is different for sure.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think it helps guys. You know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that's what you to do it on short reeks, hut
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: they help guys get their bodies back. You can't do
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: much full speed.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: So if you get the call, how much easier is
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: it this way where you get a week full of practice.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Then if you get the call during the middle of
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: a game.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I'd much rather it this way,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. You know where you get to, you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: take the retch with the first team and all that stuff,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: rather than be thrown in there, you know, in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: middle of the game. But yeah, that's that's the job
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: description of being a backup quarterback in the NFL. You
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: gotta be ready, uh to start a game. You had
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to be ready to be thrown in there in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: action any time.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, how was this offensive ball from the last
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: time that you got into a game? Not just in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, but I know, I think it would
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have been.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, Houston was the last, like real, I mean that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Houston last last year and then obviously this past year
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'd played like three snaps or whatever. But yeah, it's different.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know, I think we're finally getting a groove for
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for the guys who are getting in the rhythm and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So, I mean, but you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the Saint's defense, they've got a really good defense. They've
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: had a great defense for the last several years. So
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we've got our hands full with them.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: We we just got to go out and execute the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: best we can.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Chris being a back.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Up one of the top us of jobs in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: league just because you can do all this preparation and
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: stuff and then not play.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think it's one of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the toughest shops to lead, but also one of the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: best shots in the league. I think it's one of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the best shops in the world.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It's uh uh, it's it's tough because you got to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff mentally that the starter does. You
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: have to be ready to go in there if if
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: your number is called, all that stuff. But at the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: same time, you know that as far as the getting
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: ready on a game day, the stress of like you know, man,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like it's I'm starting or Trevor starting. The starter yuh
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: takes on all that actual stuff and all the media,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: all the outside. I said, like the backup you don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have to deal with all the all the media, all
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the all the stuff going on outside. You just got
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to do your job and be ready, you know, if
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: your numbers called.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So you've been in that building before.

  Speaker 12: Darius Willis in tights and Cambell you know the other guys.
• 7:48
  Speaker 12: You know, I always picked that brains than anything I need.

  Speaker 12: the tone, and those are leaders.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: What's the biggest area of your game that's grown since
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you got here?
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: Definitely just you know, using using my length and you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 12: just knowing football.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: You know, it ain't nothing new.
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: So it's just doing what I.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Supposed to do.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: It's a particular coverage that maybe, like I know to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Shae has said, you're you're a film ride. You're you're
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: always looking at films.
• 8:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, just seeing what the receiver what's trying to do,
• 8:30
  Speaker 12: like in different splits and stuff.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: So just learning and receivers what they like to do
• 8:34
  Speaker 12: and just using my my tools to win.
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: We through how much better player are you now than
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: your word when you when you got here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: I'm very much a different player. You know, I'm playing faster,
• 8:45
  Speaker 12: I'm saying what the offense trying to do, and just
• 8:47
  Speaker 12: I took a lot and last year, so it's definitely
• 8:50
  Speaker 12: helped me in I'm a different player this year.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Does it help it all that late last year CJ
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was doing a lot of the throwing in practice with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you guys while Trevor was dealing with this injury late
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: last season.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think at all.
• 9:01
  Speaker 13: You know, the more reps you can get, the better
• 9:03
  Speaker 13: And you know we have a lot of reps banked
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: up with him and you know they do a good
• 9:07
  Speaker 13: job of you know, throughout the year, just you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: getting reps from everybody. So, like I said, you know
• 9:11
  Speaker 13: we trust him. You know his numbers called and Christian.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: We talked a lot about the playmakers that you guys
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: have with the team. Seemed that over the recent weeks
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: ago that those impactful, explosive plays have been increasing in frequency.
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: He's to speak to you, is what you're using for
• 9:24
  Speaker 13: that maybe, Uh, you know, I think we're just you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 13: starting to execute how we're supposed to execute. You know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 13: guys are really honing in on their job and their
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: job alone, and you know, if we can get all
• 9:35
  Speaker 13: eleven to be their best personally, then you know, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 13: think the offense flows and is able to you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 13: start operating at the level that we are. So, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 13: it's been good to see. Still have a lot of
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: room for improvement, but we're on the right track.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: Of course, that's internally you guys always end out was there,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: but just from a standpoint of the sort of ex
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: started obviously seeing you guys would sort of being labeled
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: as like an explosive playmaking team.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: That's something you.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Guys can appreciate from the outside.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know know, but I think it's our standard.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: Obviously we know that, you know, we have the guys
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: in our room and our offense to be able to
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: make explosive plays, and so we expect that, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 13: week in and week out, and uh, you know, we
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: want to go out there every Sunday and put that
• 10:14
  Speaker 13: product out there.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: Sort of a random off the wall question for you
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: a little bit, but I'm sure you've heard about the
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: the black level getting into the Olympics. Ye, that's something
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: that you're obviously interested in Washington, and is what are your.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Thoughts on now?
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: I think it's great.
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: You know, anytime the game of football can be you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 13: spread at a level like that, that's you know, worldwide.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I think it's awesome. You know, we're just growing the
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: game year by year.
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: And the fact that you know, they'll have the opportunity
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: to go out to play in the Olympics, I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: is amazing. So really excited to see, you know, how
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: it all plays out. And I'll definitely be tuned in.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: Chris and you talk about communication and going in the
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: Superdome to talk about the playing in the Superdome and
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: maybe non verbot communication that you'll.
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: Have to have, you know, l in that crowd.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think it'll be important for us.
• 10:54
  Speaker 13: You know, we've been practicing silence, silent cadence all week,
• 10:57
  Speaker 13: so it'll be big. You know, guys got to stay
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: in the huddle, mixt you hear the whole call and
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: you know, make sure that we're communicating. I think we
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: do a good job in general doing that, but you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 13: especially when we go into a hostile environment like that,
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: we're gonna have to be on point.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Kind of challenges. Is a short week bring what has
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: the change for leading?
• 11:14
  Speaker 13: I think it kind of like I mentioned before. You know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 13: the challenge is getting your body back right, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: making sure that you're at the best that you can
• 11:22
  Speaker 13: be going into Thursday night. You know, the mental reps,
• 11:25
  Speaker 13: you know, are kind of cramming in some some film
• 11:27
  Speaker 13: study and whatnot into really two days. Uh so you
• 11:30
  Speaker 13: just have to sacrifice a little bit of time, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 13: sacrifice time, stay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Here a little later and whatnot. But it's a short week.
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: The game comes up quick, so you know, guys like us,
• 11:38
  Speaker 13: the veterans are able to you know, kind of show
• 11:40
  Speaker 13: the young guys the way and just be able to
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: rely on what we've learned in the past.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Can you match up with before I've.
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: Played against the Saints once, you know, gotta get some
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: a couple of times, but obviously a top tier corner
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: in the league that has been.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Doing it at at a really high level for a
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: long time.
• 11:58
  Speaker 13: So you know, whenever you know the matchup opportunity presents himselves.
• 12:02
  Speaker 13: You know, I know we're all gonna have to you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: be on our right game staffs. You know, there's certain
• 12:09
  Speaker 13: things to where you know who you know either aligned
• 12:11
  Speaker 13: on the slot based off of motion stacks and bunches
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: and whatnot. So you know, I know, you know, Press
• 12:16
  Speaker 13: and Doug will do a good job of you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: being able to create you know, some mismatches and you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 13: try to get us in the best position to to
• 12:22
  Speaker 13: go out there and take advantage some of the things
• 12:24
  Speaker 13: that they do.
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: Doesn't bring you in was receiving, you know, not do
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: some you know, first or second year guy who's never
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: been any just started call Beam definition and he's just
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: knowing he'll handle his business.
• 12:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, I sat on the other side of
• 12:40
  Speaker 13: the sideline during one of you know CJ starts when
• 12:43
  Speaker 13: he was in San France. He picked us apart, so
• 12:46
  Speaker 13: I saw firsthand. So I know he can do it
• 12:49
  Speaker 13: at a high level. He's a vet, he's done it
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: in the league for a long time. So we we
• 12:53
  Speaker 13: definitely have you know, all the U must trust in him.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: How important isn't to try to make sure those complete games,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: those that level of perfection comes late.
• 13:01
  Speaker 14: I mean, we wanted to come every single Sunday or Thursday,
• 13:05
  Speaker 14: whatever it is. It's just important that we're clicking at
• 13:08
  Speaker 14: the right time and if we're playing complimentary football in
• 13:11
  Speaker 14: all three phases, that's the most beautiful thing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: Okay, what's been the obviously not playing for sure, that aside.
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: What's been the hardest part of you know, I was
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: sort of watching with the way this offense has been
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: so I.
• 13:23
  Speaker 14: Was, man, I think just selfishly not being able to
• 13:28
  Speaker 14: be out there loving the game and caring for the
• 13:32
  Speaker 14: game and caring for my teammates. But I think it's
• 13:35
  Speaker 14: just going through the preparation all week and working and
• 13:37
  Speaker 14: then you know, you kind of get around game time
• 13:39
  Speaker 14: and you try to evaluate and what's best for you,
• 13:41
  Speaker 14: what's best for the team, and then having to watch.
• 13:43
  Speaker 14: But I think what it's allowed me to do is
• 13:46
  Speaker 14: just be supportive and find new avenues of how to
• 13:49
  Speaker 14: be a better teammate and helping guys and just seeing
• 13:52
  Speaker 14: the game from a different point of view, being able
• 13:54
  Speaker 14: to hear the calls and listening.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I think it's helped me tremendously.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: Even though you're not on the field, you gotta be
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: able to, you know, appreciate the way that the explosive
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: impact the plays have been increasing you're frequency over the
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: past few weeks.
• 14:05
  Speaker 14: Right, Yeah, it's awesome, man, And just watching this teams
• 14:08
  Speaker 14: and watching Calvin and Christian and Evan and and even Travis,
• 14:12
  Speaker 14: you know, touching the ball. So very excited for them
• 14:15
  Speaker 14: and the direction that this offense is heading. And we're
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: finally seeing you know who we are, and you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 14: looking forward to Thursday.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Doug.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: We heard Doug on the the video.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: The post came Mark.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Room, Ye call you like you?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You were his?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Then? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what does that mean?
• 14:33
  Speaker 11: What are you trying to bring this team when you're
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: not what.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like.
• 14:35
  Speaker 14: We had a conversation just about the team as a whole,
• 14:39
  Speaker 14: and we were kind of just bouncing ideas and thoughts
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: off of each other and just trying to put things
• 14:44
  Speaker 14: in perspective. I know his role in what he does
• 14:47
  Speaker 14: a great job at is trying to manage everyone, and
• 14:50
  Speaker 14: you know, sometimes it's nice to ask someone check on
• 14:52
  Speaker 14: you and ask you how you're doing. So I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 14: that's all I just provided. But I care for him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: He cares for this team.
• 14:59
  Speaker 14: And it's it's said Clive Unit.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: When I say c J.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Betherer, you say.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: He's ready, He's ready.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Now do you think after today do you think at
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: this point obviously we're still you know, you're still wait now?
• 15:11
  Speaker 15: Yeah, No, I mean obviously hopefully one six is ready
• 15:14
  Speaker 15: to go. But it sucks being a short week, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 15: he's he's feeling better and hopefully he is ready to go.
• 15:21
  Speaker 15: But three prepares every single week like he's starting, even
• 15:23
  Speaker 15: with Trevor's healthy. So I'm excited if he does get
• 15:27
  Speaker 15: the opportunity, excited to go to Ward winning for sure.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: How would you describe his game?
• 15:32
  Speaker 15: Gun, slinger, savvy, smart, He's a veteran, He's seen a lot,
• 15:36
  Speaker 15: he's he's played in big games, He's won big games.
• 15:39
  Speaker 15: He's been in the Winter culture too. He had he
• 15:41
  Speaker 15: had his stint in San France, so he knows how
• 15:44
  Speaker 15: to win. He knows how to you know, be aggressive
• 15:47
  Speaker 15: on the field and also be smart in lead offense.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: So he's definitely built for it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: What are you sort of conversations, knowing you're pretty close
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: with sixteen, what sort of conversations.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Have you guys had the last few times?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Just I'm just checking up on him.
• 15:58
  Speaker 15: I've had a couple of mc MCLs, so I kind
• 16:04
  Speaker 15: of know what he's going through just kind of support
• 16:07
  Speaker 15: him and making sure he's okay.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: And he's a strong, strong dude.
• 16:12
  Speaker 15: He's young, he's they heal fast, he's on the kids,
• 16:14
  Speaker 15: heal fast nowadays, So just making sure he's good, just
• 16:18
  Speaker 15: keeping his spirits up.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: New Orleans.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: You've played there with the Giants.
• 16:21
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I played there twenty one. It's a great it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 15: a great place to play, really loud. It's a dome,
• 16:30
  Speaker 15: so it rings a little more. And they have a
• 16:34
  Speaker 15: great fan base that's passionate too, so it's gonna be
• 16:36
  Speaker 15: a cool atmosphere in prime time. Don't get any better
• 16:39
  Speaker 15: than that, So it'll be a great opportunity for us
• 16:42
  Speaker 15: go out.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And make some plays.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Not that I think you guys are paying attention to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Vegas at all, but you guys are underdogs according to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: the sports books going into this week. Do you think
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: this group, not that you're paying attention to that, but
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: when people doubt you, do you think this group plays better?
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Honestly, we don't think about none of that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 15: I'm definitely surprised that we're under dog, but I don't
• 17:01
  Speaker 15: think we've I've ever had any conversation about what people
• 17:04
  Speaker 15: think or you know, what predictions say or this, and that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 15: We don't pay any attention to that. We're locked in here,
• 17:12
  Speaker 15: but definitely like beyonder dogs, we'll go handle business.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: What's the key to a short week?
• 17:19
  Speaker 15: Just being a pro in every aspect of you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: the week, taking care of your body, getting in the playbook,
• 17:24
  Speaker 15: learning the game plan, and you know, finding ways to
• 17:28
  Speaker 15: make everything game like. You obviously don't get a real
• 17:32
  Speaker 15: full speed practice. We don't get to kind of go
• 17:35
  Speaker 15: through live and you know, get the live look. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 15: we gotta put yourself in those situations mentally and physically
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: as much as possible because it the short week makes
• 17:44
  Speaker 15: it challenging.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You know, last year we talked about it a couple
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of times.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: On the national games where you get that audience and
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a chance to show everybody what the Jaguars are about.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: How much do you do you still feel like you
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: have to take advantage of those opportunities to show the
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: world what this team is.
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: I mean, once we get in the game, that kind
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: of all turns off. But it is cool. You know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 15: it's just Jacksonville and in this franchise and this team
• 18:06
  Speaker 15: being on the national stage. I don't think it's you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 15: they've been on a lot the past few years. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 15: for us to even get the you know, recognition and
• 18:15
  Speaker 15: the go ahead to be under the lights, it's special
• 18:18
  Speaker 15: and we definitely gonna take it lightly. You know, we
• 18:20
  Speaker 15: have we have a lot to prove to ourselves and
• 18:22
  Speaker 15: we have a mission for the season, and so it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 15: just the next one.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: But the lights will definitely be a little bit brighter.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Does this week be in the short week?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Do you like Thursday night football games? I mean yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: it depends.
• 18:34
  Speaker 15: Uh, it depends on how you come out of the
• 18:36
  Speaker 15: Sunday prior.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Well, easier when you're coming off the win.
• 18:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah, obviously a win, but even you know your body,
• 18:43
  Speaker 15: like I came out like Sunday, I came out pretty clean.
• 18:46
  Speaker 15: So physically it's been pretty smooth getting ready for this game.
• 18:50
  Speaker 15: But I've had fair share of Sundays bumps, bruises, sores everywhere,
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: and you know, trying to rally that and get that
• 18:58
  Speaker 15: going for the quick turn around, it's tough. So you
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: can probably go around and ask multiple guys. Some guys
• 19:03
  Speaker 15: feel good, some guys are hurting some Sunday, but about
• 19:06
  Speaker 15: Thursday night, you know, the atmosphere, the adrenaline, b rushing
• 19:08
  Speaker 15: will all be good.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It's last week.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: We were talking about how it was coming back from
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: London and if there was jet lag. Now it's the
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: short week, but you're you're closing in on that bye week.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: You kind of get a mini bias thing after the
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Thursday night game. How much does that help this time
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: of year where you know you got this short week,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: but you get a little bit extra rest.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Right on them. Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 15: I mean, honestly, the the mini buy sucks without a win. So, uh,
• 19:32
  Speaker 15: you you go into this short week obviously you know
• 19:36
  Speaker 15: you get a break at the end of it, but
• 19:38
  Speaker 15: you gotta win to really enjoy that. So that's submission.
• 19:41
  Speaker 15: We're doing everything we can to prepare and be ready.
• 19:43
  Speaker 15: Uh so we can get a win and get a
• 19:45
  Speaker 15: nice little, nice little.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Weekend off what you guys.
• 19:50
  Speaker 15: Yeah, like you said that, that veteran presence is big.
• 19:54
  Speaker 15: They have a lot, they fly around, their real physical
• 19:57
  Speaker 15: their front is really strong, really big. It's gonna be
• 20:01
  Speaker 15: a real physical game. That's that's another tough part. You know,
• 20:03
  Speaker 15: a quick turnaround playing on Thursday, playing against probably one
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: of the most physical teams we've seen all year. So
• 20:09
  Speaker 15: they they fly around, they're smart, they've been in that
• 20:11
  Speaker 15: system for a while, so they know their role. And uh,
• 20:14
  Speaker 15: and they're they're feisty too. You turn on the tape,
• 20:17
  Speaker 15: they're all flying around. They're playing with energy. So we're
• 20:19
  Speaker 15: gonna have our work cutout for us.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: How much comfort does it bring you in the receiving
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: cores that you've got that, Yeah, CJ, we're gonna have
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: to play in the game. You got a veteran guy
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: who's gonna make twelve starts in the league. He's not
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: He's not some guy coming in off the bench making.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: His first start. Yeah.
• 20:36
  Speaker 15: No, I mean, like I said earlier, CJ, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 15: prepares even when Trevor's healthy, he prepares every week like
• 20:42
  Speaker 15: he's playing. And everybody, you know, we we throw balls,
• 20:46
  Speaker 15: we catch balls from all the quarterbacks.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: So it's not really that much different.
• 20:50
  Speaker 15: It's just, uh, you know, he's he possibly really get
• 20:54
  Speaker 15: the nods, so we have all the confidence in the world.
• 20:57
  Speaker 15: And CJ and uh, he's he's been a good player
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: this league. He's he's here for a reason, so we're
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: excited about it.
• 21:03
  Speaker 16: We talked about last week, just the idea of stopping
• 21:06
  Speaker 16: a run and what it means. It just continues week
• 21:10
  Speaker 16: after week after week. And that's a relentless thing from
• 21:12
  Speaker 16: this defense.
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: Right, Yeah, that's something that we take pride in, just
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: being physical, being relentless, and then we feel like if
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: we do those two things and we'll get the outcome
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: they want at the end, as it did from our
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: for our defensive goals.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: So what is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: Theo biggest challenge about the Saints offense? What do they
• 21:25
  Speaker 16: bring to the table and what do you expect to
• 21:27
  Speaker 16: see on there to the offensive line.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Especially the personally.
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: I definitely have to say that one of those old
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: school teams, like the more of that, they're going to
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: give you some run. They're gonna mix it up a
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: little bit with pass as well. So I mean, just
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: plays true to our game and you know what I'm saying,
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: don't don't try to force anything or we just go
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: out there and do what we need to do.
• 21:45
  Speaker 16: We got you know, Kamara, they got Taysom Hill, they
• 21:49
  Speaker 16: got receivers obviously, but those those first two guys with
• 21:52
  Speaker 16: Camara moving around all over there, what's the idea on him?
• 21:56
  Speaker 16: You just gotta figure out where he's gonna be here.
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: Like I said, Like I said, and more one of
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: those teams that's gonna do some of everything with With Kamar,
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: he's one of those guys that can go out and
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: catch passes. He's one of those guys that wanted that
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: want to get downhill and run the ball as well. So,
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: like I say, long as we just play what we're
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: assigned to, what with our coordinator calls, and then we'll
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: be perfect.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: We find we're game win streak.
• 22:18
  Speaker 16: What's been the biggest key to that streak for this
• 22:21
  Speaker 16: team as a whole? What is what has brought you
• 22:23
  Speaker 16: guys over the child.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: I have to say this, coming with the same energy
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: every week, not having to drop off, we all all.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: On the same page.
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: We want to just continue to carry the energy that
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: we have and want to continue to go take carry
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: that the whole season.
