  Speaker 1: You know you're going back to the playoff.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Definitely feels amazing. Been in this league for eleven years
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: and I have only been to the playoffs once. So
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to know that we're already going to the playoffs with
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, a few games left, Uh, it's just amazing.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We have an incredible team.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We hear a lot of schedule or that show up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: at the situation like this, for your down sixteen to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, to be honest, this isn't the only
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: time that showed up. You know, We've been in some
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: tough fought games throughout the season and we've rallied, we
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: found a way to win multiple times. So uh, you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to be down that much in the fourth quarter and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: make a comeback like that was incredible, and you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: make that two point conversion when when it counted. I mean,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: we just have a really special team. Like I said, yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: what's the type.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: About your defense? Right? They're moving the ball, making big
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: chunk plays off game and then the fourth quarter you
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: get I think it's pretty straight three and owns. Yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: get another pint of get games to turn things in
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the fourth.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Quarter of the week. I mean, I think it definitely
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't up to our standards in the first half. They were,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: especially in the run game. They were running the ball
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to to well, and I think, you know, our defense
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: thrives on you know, stopping them on first and second
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: down and getting to our third down packages. Uh, it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was hard for us to get to our third down
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: packages when we can't stop the run. I think we
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: made some good adjustments in the in the second half though.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: At halftime we changed the way we're going to play
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the front a little bit, which gave us a little
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: bit more one on one blocks, allowed me and Murph
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and some of the guys up front to to gap
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and the half style defense, and you know, it helped
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Ustop to run a little bit better in the second half.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: The last over time ride, what's up? How did it
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: feel that last overtime ride?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Your quarterback ga all four of those competions and all
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: of them. I mean, it's just amazing. I think throughout
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the game, throughout the season, what makes this team so special?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know we just talked about us having
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: connection and things like that. It's like when we're in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: these primetime games, when we're down, when we're facing adversity,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I think no one on our team has doubt when
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they took the field and when they were going, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: on that last drive and then on the two point conversion.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I think the whole sideline just had, you know, a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: complete faith in our offense.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You guys have one hit on Stafford through three quarters,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: but it seem like you got some pressure going in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the in the fourth.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And overtime, they're what kind of.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Like you guys to kind of find a little bit
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: more and kind of pressure we'll get those three and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: outs he had down the stretch.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great quarterback. I think everybody knows
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he gets the ball out really fast. Now you know
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: on third down situations he's getting the ball out really quick,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and also screens and things like that. It was hard
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: for us to get to the quarterback, but you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: when it counted in that fourth quarter, I think we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: were able to pressure him. Even when it wasn't a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: hit and things like that. I think it caused him to,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you know, throw some air and throws in the two games.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And you guys have played it. You guys have not
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: sacked on this. They just kind of did the same
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: thing a lot ago the day did tonight you just
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: getting them.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: All out the way first. Yeah, I think that's just
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: part of Stafford's game. And you know, something we know
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: about him. It's a you know, we got to get
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: quick wins at the line of scrimmage. You know, if
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you're running games and stuff like that, sometimes the games
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: don't even take long, you know, take too long to
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: get to him. We'll run a perfect game executed well
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and by the time the guy wrapping around to get
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the sack of the balls already out. So I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: part of that is stopping the run. And if we
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: get him in third and longer downs, he has to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: hold the ball a little bit longer for the routes
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to develop. But in those like shorter third distance third
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: down distances, he gets the ball out a lot quicker.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the running game a little bit there. They
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: only average about three yards to carry, didn't have any
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: big runs against you guys, so they made it kind
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of tough to kind of to have them kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: factors still in in the run game.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Despite that, I think they just had a lot of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: leaky yards. There was times where we were making contact
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: at you know, one or two or at the line
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage and he was just falling forward for like
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: five or six extra yards and just ultimately they almost
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: had one hundred yards at halftime. And you know, we
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: pride ourselves in stopping the run. So that's just too
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: much for us. A picture how can win?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Not just winning like but winning like this for how
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you guys really win?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Like I said, there's been multiple times of seasons where
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we've had to face adversity, overcome things and find a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: way to win. And uh, you know, these type of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: wins truly showed what type of team you have. You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: those blowout wins feel good sometimes, but to be able
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to you know, come back in the fourth quarter, go
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to overtime, get that two point conversion, like all the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: small details that you know, bring the team together, especially
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: when we're making a push into the playoffs where there's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: gonna be some hard fought games. I think, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that really shows what type of team we have.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Are down sixteen, the offense tars of ball over you guys,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: then get a three and out and then where she
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: takes a pump back, Like how much could you just
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: feel the momentum shift and build into that series?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, she returning that that punt was incredible. You
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: just felt the momentum swing. It was amazing. I think,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you know, I keep seeing him in the locker room,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: just like telling him that he brought us back into
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that game. And you know he's been a big key,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you know, bringing him on the team and he's been
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a big factor in helping us win some games.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: When you saw the theF.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I loved it. I feel like I love Mike for
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: being an aggressive style coach, and you know I would
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: want him to do with ten times out of ten
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: any else.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks Slim, Thanks fill h
