  Speaker 1: Hop we're doing good. Okay, is it cause Appilly just
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: kind of pulled this one out of the way you did,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and you you kind of got used to this. Yeah.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It's just great to get a win, any win that
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you can get, especially early in the season. Uh, they're gonna,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you know, be critical, you know, as we go move
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: on forward to the season. But hats off to the Patriots.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I thought they played, uh, a really good game. I
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: thought they fought all the way through, but our guys,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you know, we lasted longer. I felt like our defense, Uh,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: they they played a really good game. I thought Julian
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: made a big time field goal block right there to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: give us a shot. And then I felt like grub
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: called a great game. I thought the offense, you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: offensive line did a great job at battling all game.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And the receivers they were outstanding today, you know, really
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: made it easy for me and allowed me to go
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: out there and just do my job.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Did you want for them at the end of the regulation?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, no, yeah, I thought we
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: got the first down, but we didn't, so, uh, the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: right thing to do there was to kick the field
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: goal and go to overtime and give us give ourselves,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know, some extra minutes to to go and get
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the wind. Like a perfect play call that thirty six
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to doing. Yeah, that was that was the That was
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a great call man they had. Uh they went cover
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: zero early in the game. That was the big touchdown
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the DK and it it kind of scared him out
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of it. They didn't call it for the rest of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the game, but we knew they get back to it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: That's what they wanna do in those critical situations. And uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know Grub was on it, made the right call. Uh.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You know, we we executed the play and uh, we're
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: just happy that happened. Uh allowed us to get in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: field goal range. And then Jamn kicked it in.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Does what he does at all times.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Said, you know, I thought the game plan was great.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought we had a really good week
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of practice as well. You know I thought that uh
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: guys were locked in and dialed in throughout practice. Uh
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: really felt like we were gonna have a good game.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And then, uh, you know, as we went out there
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on the field, man, guys were just balling.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You know, jsn' is a great player.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Uh, we got to get the ball in his hands
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: as many as many chances as we can. And uh,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I thought he did a great job you know, throughout
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the game and just making those clutch uh catches and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, finding windows when it was zone beating beating man,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: uh when it was man And you know, I thought
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: he did a great job today has it kind.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Of felt like this was coming from him just based
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on how could he looks any Yeah?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know obviously the first game, you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: didn't get a bunch of targets. Uh, we gave away
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: some possessions, so obviously that that'll hurt it. But you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I kN y we know who he is, right, we
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: know who Jackson is. We know the type of player
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he is, the caliber of receiver he is. Uh, it's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just about opportunities for him and he's making the most
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of those. So you know, just really proud of all
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the work he's put in and uh, you know it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: really showing showing it paid off today.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Do you know what nuts and game of the line
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to him? And what is it about him? Man?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: He's clutch, you know, Tyler's Tyler. He's done that his
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: entire career. He's a guy who is is so selfless,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you know, to go the entire game and really not
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: getting any targets, you know, and it wasn't based on like, uh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know, a lack of trying to is just you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: reading the coverages and getting the ball to whoever was open.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: But to be a selfless guy the way that he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: is and to continue to stay focused throughout the game,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I thought, man, like I only can you know, say
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: great things about Tyler.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: He's just an outstanding human being.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know a lot of receivers will start,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you know, calling for the ball at times when when
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they don't feel like they're getting it. But I can
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: just see how mentally doubt in he was throughout the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: game and knowing that his time was gonna come. And
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you know, as soon as we needed a big play, right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we're gonna find sixteen And he always comes through.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Said joy, my mind said, put the ball in seven hands. Man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's my mindset.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, I always, you know, dreamed about these
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: moments growing up. Uh It's the dream come true just
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to be here. So uh, whenever I'm in this situation
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and the game's on the line, I'm so happy and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: just excited, you know, for those opportunities. I look forward
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to him. Actually, so I know that there's gonna happen
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: more and more times throughout the season. Uh. And you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks always find ways to win. And and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I wanna be you know, regarded in in that in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that light. So I just wanna continue to be be
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: there for my team, you know, do what's right, make
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the plays when they come.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I knew we had him. You know, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: knew we had him.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know, it was even even if he didn't block
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the kick, I felt like we were gonna go down
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the score. But uh, when he blocked the kick, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: felt like it turned the momentum. You could see they
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: put their heads down a little bit. Their defense was like,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: oh man, like, you know, we gotta stop these guys.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And uh that's when we kind of put our foot
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on the pedal. We started, you know really uh, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: just going after him and uh, you know, make some
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: big plays.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I wouldn't advise that to any young quarterback watching.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Man, if you're on the sprint right, you know, usually
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you don't cut the reverse field, but uh at in
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: entire times, you gotta make a play.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And I felt like that was.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: A situation where we needed it, and uh, I'm just
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: happy it worked out the way they did.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Do you know how versatile was this off? That super versatile?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I think we have so many great players and even
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: some guys who who weren't on the field today, who
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: who can make some plays. And I just, uh, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: believe in you know, the work. I believe in us,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, just playing together and finding ways to win.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be a different guy each time.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And uh, we have a bunch of selfless guys. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: think that's what matters the most, guys who believe in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: one another. Uh.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: We wanna see the next guy shine.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I wanna see the run game lead us
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: just as much as I wanna go out there and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: throw a bunch of touchdowns.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So however we can get a win whatever, uh we
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: gotta do.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just reading the defense and trying to make the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: right place the sequence at the end of the first
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: half where you guys get to the line of scrimmage,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: really they look like with how much time was up,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: there was like zero margin for air and and doing that,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: what what can you say about that whole operation?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Then? Uh, I'm I can't really recall with you at
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the end of the first half, when you guys get
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the field goal, you had.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: To oh yeah, yeah, we uh we we worked that
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: situation all throughout the week. You know, that was a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: get down spikey situation. So we had no timeouts, so
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we had to get you know, as many yards as
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: we can. Receivers gotta get down, uh hand the ball
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to the center, and then we gotta get up to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and spike it as fast as possible.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Got that done.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was, uh maybe under nineteen seconds or
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: something like that. Uh I spiked it with five seconds.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So that was like perfect execution in that situation.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Anything else. Thank you, Thank you, guys.
