  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a deep game.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Just good. No, totally Wednesday, But just have you seen
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the team.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So far responding to Philosophy's here.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody's pretty much disappointed, you know with how we played
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and how we went out there and you know performed
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: during week one after the great practices that we had
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: during training camp. But I think we're all just prepared
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to just get get to Detroit and just uh go
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: out there and just ready to play uh Sunday, cause
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: it's it's just a bad taste in our mouth right now,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: cause it's not the team that we wanted to be,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and it's not you know, who we aspire to be
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: or what we wanna put out there on film. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, just ready to play, Ready to get out
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: there and practice and just move forward.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You can week one be tougher to get by because
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it's the only data point you guys have coming out
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of the gates. If it's has a rough, rough start
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to the season, is that make it any more difficult to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: get by? This one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Only thing that makes it difficult, I I believe is
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: that you know, we had expectations of what we wanted
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to be or what we wanted to look like, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you know that wasn't you know what transpired, So it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was the only thing I can say is it was
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a good thing that happened week one, a quick wake
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: up call that you know, any Sunday you could get beat.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of teams out there. You know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: everybody's fighting for one goal. So you know, just just
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: easy to get back to work and just happy it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: happened week one. That is not lingering around, lingering around
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: like week eight or week ten, you know where we
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: really have to have a enter check of you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: who we really want to be. But you know we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we got that knockout punch early. We're gonna get back
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: up and just keep fighting.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: When you went back and watson Field, I guess where
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: where she's trying to get the fall down Field a
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: lot against the Rams.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: On Saturday, I would just say, uh, effort. I know
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: my part. You know, I really can't speak for everybody else's,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but you know, my my part was was just effort
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and uh you know, playoff to play just one hundred
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: percent effort. It wasn't just there like it's been in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the past. So I know there's one thing I I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: got to clean up and just plan as a team.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: You know, when something goes wrong or adversity hits, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: we just can't start pulling fingers or just looking around
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for somebody else to make a make a play or
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just to have an answer. We can't look for the coaches.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We have to you know, look inward and you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just rely on ourselves and our teammates and the pricees
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that we've had and you know, all the connectedness that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: we had, we've had since uh you know, late July.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So that's all we got to do is just you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: just start depending on each other and just start playing
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: as a team more.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: When you look at the Lions secondary that they made
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: some changes since you saw them last t H how
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: do they look different or maybe improved from last season?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Uh? I know, UH their head coach is gonna have
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: them prepared. You know, they're a hungry group of guys.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know they had some key additions with uh Camp
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Sudden and uh cj uh Gardner Johnson back there, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they're gonna come play hard and uh try to you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: knock you down or talk stuff every place. So you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: just got to overcome it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You've gone against Devin uh whether it's putting in practice
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: throughout training camp, decent chance he plays for the first
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What what is he as a cornerback? When you when
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you see him on the field, going against him, what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: do you expect on him?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He reminded me of like a little gnat that doesn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: go away, Like he's always just around the ball. He's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: always just gonna be around you. And you know he's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: always active. Like last week in practice he chased me down,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you know, still trying to punch the ball out and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I'm thirty yards down the field. So, uh, this is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: just the type of player he is, and you know
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I expect that from him. Uh. You know, a top
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: five pick who's not gonna, you know, back down from
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a challenge. He's gonna step up and he's gonna try
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to make a player every time he steps on the field.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: What the physicality of Lake training camp when he was out.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: There, he's a physical corner Uh. You know, especially for
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: his size, you don't expect it, but you know he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I see why we took him at a pick number
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: five because he's he's just a competitive person, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: through and through. He's not gonna back down from a challenge,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Like I said, And you know, the few times that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I lined up against him, he always gave me a challenge,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: or you know, he always looked at it as, all right,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: this is my time to you know, get some work,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and you know I looked at it as, all right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we're gonna see what you're about. And you know, he
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: didn't back down from the challenge. So I like that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you were if you.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent effort. Whether you think might be the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: reason does that happened?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't tell you. I think it's just a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: inward experience, you know, au uh a lack of you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: preparation on my part. Just got to do a better
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: job preparing during the week and uh knowing my job.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: He so he talked, had a long talk with you
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: about what happened at the end of the game with
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: with the killer and everything, and just I guess was
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: there a general message for Pete or or not.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Or I mean that's between me and Pete, but uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you know, the gist of the of the message was,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm a target now and I just gotta
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, carry myself as such and not just continue
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to hurt the team. So you know, that's what I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: gonna do you play. Uh he's been in with the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Saints when we played him uh twice in the past. Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: M does he have a rep cause he tried to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: get under your skins?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Kind of gott a rep for that. I mean, yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that's I pretty that's pretty much every dB. But you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it's just the volume that he talks at.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: What did What are the dvs usually saying to you
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to get under you?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Uh, I mean that's between me and the DBS. Can't
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: get you an inside scoop on that man. But uh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you know, they try to get me out of my
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: game a lot, you know, with how they talk and uh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you know, just saying stuff if I drop a ball
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: or if they knock it down, just like little stuff.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: The places would be really loud. Is that making the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: challenge at all? I mean receiver in your way out?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I mean in terms of hearing what's going on.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, every place that I've I've played at
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in my short career has has, uh has potential to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: be loud. I know last year it did get pretty
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: loud in there. The still has has been loud. CAC
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: has been allowed as well. So I mean every NFL
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: stadium can get loud. Uh, you know, it's just up
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to us to you know, keep him quiet.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Anyone else makes it
