- 0:00Speaker 1: How are you feeling knowing that likely it's probably gonna
- 0:02Speaker 1: be you on sending its futures.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Oh, you know, I feel good. You know, I'm excited
- 0:05Speaker 2: about it, Excited for the opportunity. Yeah, excited as you
- 0:07Speaker 2: can be.
- 0:09Speaker 1: How how do you feel the reps are, you know,
- 0:11Speaker 1: with all of your receivers and stuff.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Like that going good.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been going great. I mean, you know, Treason
- 0:16Speaker 2: banged up for last several weeks. I've been able to
- 0:19Speaker 2: get some reps with those guys that throughout practice throughout
- 0:22Speaker 2: the last several weeks, So it's been good to kind
- 0:24Speaker 2: of just build on that. For sure, Press.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Stress that a lot of the miscommunication that's happened over
- 0:30Speaker 1: the last few weeks, it wasn't those kills and the
- 0:31Speaker 1: alerts until Sunday. What did you see both when you
- 0:34Speaker 1: were in the game and then also.
- 0:35Speaker 4: From the sideline.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's just just a lack of focus.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I think for the most part, is just not locking
- 0:40Speaker 2: in enough and making just dumb stupid, little little ticky
- 0:45Speaker 2: tech things that we should be better at and we
- 0:47Speaker 2: will be better at. So it's been an emphasis going
- 0:50Speaker 2: into this week for sure.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Mentally, how do you handle having it prepare and then
- 0:55Speaker 1: seeing Trevor go back in, like when you've had to
- 0:57Speaker 1: kind of.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Balance that might be going in mind. How do you
- 0:59Speaker 3: mentally prepare for them?
- 1:01Speaker 2: Shoot, I mean, I think I've had a lot of
- 1:02Speaker 2: practice at it for the most part. I think the
- 1:04Speaker 2: first time it came up, you know, was kind of
- 1:07Speaker 2: a little uneasy, just you know, trying to figure it
- 1:09Speaker 2: all out. But like you know, it's that's part of
- 1:10Speaker 2: the game, is being a backup. You truly don't know
- 1:13Speaker 2: when you're gonna be in, when you're gonna be out.
- 1:15Speaker 2: It could be one play, could be you could be
- 1:18Speaker 2: in for an entire game, could be one play, and
- 1:21Speaker 2: you just have to roll with the flow when it
- 1:22Speaker 2: comes to that kind of stuff and just go with it.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Last week, that fourth quarter you got to play in.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So do you think that that'll really help you, let's
- 1:29Speaker 1: say you have to play this week.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think any game experience you can
- 1:33Speaker 2: get helps helps you. In a home run, it definitely
- 1:38Speaker 2: felt good like being out there and kind of getting
- 1:40Speaker 2: enough flow of things.
- 1:41Speaker 4: For sure.
- 1:42Speaker 1: It stands out the most from the Panthers defense.
- 1:45Speaker 2: They got They got a couple few really good young
- 1:47Speaker 2: young players Burns JC A lot of guys. I think
- 1:52Speaker 2: they're underrated on you know, they don't get a lot
- 1:56Speaker 2: of the worldly love and stuff that they should get
- 1:59Speaker 2: there if it's just playing at a high level. And uh,
- 2:02Speaker 2: you know, they've been really close in a lot of games,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and the margin of air between wins and losses is
- 2:07Speaker 2: so fine that you know, they're not getting just blown
- 2:11Speaker 2: out each and every week that they're really close. So
- 2:13Speaker 2: it's it's a thing that we gotta we gotta lock
- 2:15Speaker 2: in and be ready to go this week for sure.
- 2:17Speaker 1: How does the team get their confidence back when it's
- 2:20Speaker 1: feels like everything's kind of going wrong, they're just getting
- 2:22Speaker 1: an early lead, Like, what.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Are you kind of attributing to? Yeah, I think just
- 2:25Speaker 2: it's a mindset to start, uh, And you know, I
- 2:28Speaker 2: think just knowing that what's in front of us still
- 2:31Speaker 2: is something to look forward to. The fact that we're
- 2:34Speaker 2: still are, you know, the lead of our division. We
- 2:37Speaker 2: have so much to be playing for, playing for a
- 2:38Speaker 2: playoff spot and to win the division, that you know,
- 2:41Speaker 2: our goals are still right in front of us.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 2:43Speaker 2: You know, it's like we're out of the hunt anymore.
- 2:45Speaker 2: It's it's they're all still right there. So we have
- 2:47Speaker 2: so much to play for. We really just have to
- 2:49Speaker 2: watch the last four weeks and and learn from them,
- 2:52Speaker 2: going to get better for it. But but just move
- 2:53Speaker 2: on and start a new for sure.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Does it feel like once you get one win everything
- 2:57Speaker 1: to settle a little bit?
- 2:58Speaker 2: Absolutely? I think all it takes is one win to
- 3:00Speaker 2: get to get rolling again. And uh, you know, I've
- 3:02Speaker 2: been in this sleep for a long time.
- 3:04Speaker 4: You go through lowells, go through slumps.
- 3:06Speaker 2: And uh it takes one, you know, one game to
- 3:08Speaker 2: get get you going. And that's what we're going for
- 3:10Speaker 2: this week.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Every game is important, but obviously you'd like to win
- 3:14Speaker 4: every game. But does this sort of had that kind
- 3:15Speaker 4: of you must have been.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Type of mentality approach?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would say it's a must win
- 3:20Speaker 2: game for us. Uh, you know, if if we want
- 3:23Speaker 2: to be where we want to be in the next
- 3:24Speaker 2: couple of weeks at the end of the year, Uh,
- 3:26Speaker 2: this is a game we have to win.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Yeah, okay.
- 3:32Speaker 1: As a general rule for pass catches hitting one hundred
- 3:36Speaker 1: perceptions in a year, is that like the milestone number
- 3:39Speaker 1: that everybody.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Wants to hit the uh, because that happens? Oh yeah,
- 3:46Speaker 5: that would be a great, great milestone.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Fan for sure.
- 3:49Speaker 1: What what's does that just signify that you pay such
- 3:52Speaker 1: a big part of the offense, you have reliability all
- 3:55Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
- 3:56Speaker 5: Uh, I mean he's just caught pretty much everything came
- 3:59Speaker 5: as well, got good hands.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I know you say you wanna win every game?
- 4:05Speaker 3: How much more do you wanna wanna win this one
- 4:07Speaker 3: on Sunday?
- 4:08Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah?
- 4:08Speaker 5: We g Yeah, we have to win. It's very important
- 4:12Speaker 5: just to get back on track. Man, feel what that winning.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Feels like again?
- 4:17Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 4:17Speaker 2: We lost what four?
- 4:18Speaker 5: We need to get back on track. This is a
- 4:20Speaker 5: winning organization team.
- 4:23Speaker 1: This is what you know.
- 4:24Speaker 5: We just need to d to handle business and get
- 4:26Speaker 5: back on track. Take it from now?
- 4:27Speaker 2: Can it kind of just be that simple feeling what
- 4:29Speaker 2: the win feels like again to and get the juices
- 4:31Speaker 2: flowing back where y'all were at?
- 4:32Speaker 4: Uh?
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's that simple.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Just make the plays, make the the the runs, stops,
- 4:38Speaker 5: the catches, uh, the tackles. Just do what we do
- 4:42Speaker 5: and we should be We should come out with the
- 4:44Speaker 5: wind if we just played how we play.
- 4:46Speaker 1: It's not far off, I mean, is it? Well? It
- 4:50Speaker 1: seems like you guys are close one we can or
- 4:52Speaker 1: might jump back a.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Little bit, but it's it doesn't feel like it's not
- 4:55Speaker 4: far wrong, right.
- 4:56Speaker 5: Nah, it's not far off.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Man.
- 4:57Speaker 4: We could we got good players.
- 4:58Speaker 5: We play we could play good. We just I don't know.
- 5:01Speaker 5: It's just weird football is we sometimes, But we are
- 5:04Speaker 5: good players. I'll tell you that we have a good
- 5:06Speaker 5: team and we just need to own on our on
- 5:08Speaker 5: our ship and make.
- 5:09Speaker 2: The plays.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Lessons. I don't know, it's just all about I just
- 5:15Speaker 4: try to try to keep things into your perspective. Those
- 5:18Speaker 4: weeks you miss, you just I mean, once you're away
- 5:20Speaker 4: from the game, you just kind of your appreciation for
- 5:22Speaker 4: whatever it is, for whatever whatever it is, whatever it
- 5:25Speaker 4: is that I was missing, it's just it's on full display,
- 5:27Speaker 4: and I'm just kind of anxious to get back.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Do you have any.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Personal goals that you set for this season?
- 5:31Speaker 2: You know there's only two regular season games left or Man.
- 5:35Speaker 4: I don't never set no personal goals. We just set
- 5:38Speaker 4: the goals we got as a team, and if we
- 5:40Speaker 4: stay if we stay disciplined, and we do everything we
- 5:42Speaker 4: need to do, the personal goals come from within them.
- 5:45Speaker 1: And you've been a part of WOWS before during your
- 5:47Speaker 1: time in the league. You think just all this team
- 5:50Speaker 1: needs is to win to get back on track. Is
- 5:52Speaker 1: it that simple?
- 5:52Speaker 4: Yeah? I think so. I think Karen wins everything just
- 5:55Speaker 4: kind of not having a sense of panic or a
- 5:57Speaker 4: sense of I think it definitely needs to be a
- 6:00Speaker 4: urgency without a sense of panic. We know what we
- 6:02Speaker 4: need to do, we know we need to get better,
- 6:04Speaker 4: and then we know we need to work on So
- 6:05Speaker 4: it's supple just going out there and doing exactly that,
- 6:08Speaker 4: working on it and getting better at.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Being on the side. From your perspective, where are some
- 6:11Speaker 1: of the struggles in the run game the last few
- 6:13Speaker 1: weeks coming from?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Uh?
- 6:14Speaker 4: I just think we need to do is just do
- 6:15Speaker 4: a better job of being all on the same age
- 6:17Speaker 4: thy Kim, You're that's a bunch of games this year,
- 6:20Speaker 4: earlier in the season and then now. So how difficult
- 6:23Speaker 4: is that for a competitor like Huge It's just kind
- 6:25Speaker 4: of be on the side and now have but chance
- 6:27Speaker 4: to finish it for two weeks. Yeah, I mean, of
- 6:29Speaker 4: course it's hard to. It's hard to. It's hard to
- 6:31Speaker 4: do it. Always want to be out there with the gods.
- 6:33Speaker 4: I genuinely love playing football. It's my favorite thing to do.
- 6:36Speaker 4: So anytime I'm away from the game. It's always it's
- 6:39Speaker 4: it's always difficult. But everybody in the buildings that's done
- 6:42Speaker 4: a good job of supporting me and kind of kind
- 6:44Speaker 4: of helping me along with it.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Can you can you bring a different edge to the
- 6:48Speaker 1: offensive line, you take pride in maybe some of that
- 6:51Speaker 1: that you bring.
- 6:53Speaker 4: I don't know if I think about it like that.
- 6:54Speaker 4: I just just go out there and be me. Let's
- 6:57Speaker 4: kind of always have it's kind of always That's kind
- 7:00Speaker 4: of how I always have been. It's just the player
- 7:01Speaker 4: I am. It's the person I am, So never try
- 7:04Speaker 4: to force anything or try too hard to show anything.
- 7:07Speaker 4: I'll just go out there and be myself and just
- 7:08Speaker 4: let it set it whatever show hurts closest, like to
- 7:14Speaker 4: dial it get all together again. I think that No,
- 7:17Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's just to the point to
- 7:19Speaker 4: where I mentioned earlier, to where it's like winning cares are.
- 7:22Speaker 4: I think if we get back out there and we
- 7:23Speaker 4: just we just obviously stay locked in and stay focused,
- 7:26Speaker 4: but we just need to put start, just start stringing
- 7:28Speaker 4: together good things, good plays, good drives, good series, and
- 7:31Speaker 4: I think not trying to just focus on what's in
- 7:33Speaker 4: front of us right now. I mean, of course we
- 7:35Speaker 4: want to win the games, but of course we want
- 7:36Speaker 4: to string together wins and kind of roll into the
- 7:38Speaker 4: playoffs with momentum. But that's not the most important thing
- 7:41Speaker 4: right now. The most important thing is the practice that
- 7:43Speaker 4: we just have your.
- 7:44Speaker 1: First week with Ezra next.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Is that easy to for the two of you to
- 7:48Speaker 5: just gel and mash and bond.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think so. I mean, at this point,
- 7:52Speaker 4: I'll play with I'll play. Besides, yeah, I don't even
- 7:56Speaker 4: know the numbers, so I mean, I'll play. I've had
- 7:58Speaker 4: a lot of guards, you know, we'll do it. Good
- 8:00Speaker 4: job of we'll mesch and we'll get it figured out
- 8:02Speaker 4: and we'll we'll roll.
- 8:04Speaker 3: He cam allowed to talk to like you and the
- 8:06Speaker 3: other guy are saying, you just gotta get a win.
- 8:07Speaker 4: You just need to see a win.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Is the approach sort of to this game like a
- 8:11Speaker 3: must win if you will.
- 8:13Speaker 4: I don't think I don't think that's being stressed to
- 8:16Speaker 4: us that it's a must win, But it's definitely just
- 8:17Speaker 4: a sense of urgency. We know what we need to
- 8:19Speaker 4: get done, and we know that we need to get
- 8:21Speaker 4: it done the time for bs and this, I mean,
- 8:26Speaker 4: that's obviously you kind of got to put that behind you.
- 8:29Speaker 4: We got we know what we need to do, we
- 8:31Speaker 4: know how many weeks we got to get it done,
- 8:33Speaker 4: and I think we're just the most important part is
- 8:35Speaker 4: just detect up.
- 8:47Speaker 2: How did you feel? How did you conte your practice?
- 8:50Speaker 3: I felt great. I think the energy was super high.
- 8:53Speaker 3: You know it's but it's it's where we needed to be, uh,
- 8:57Speaker 3: you know, offensive, defensive, special teams, just to see nobody
- 9:00Speaker 3: to go out there, compete a little bit harder, going
- 9:02Speaker 3: back to the fundamentals and just just get back to
- 9:05Speaker 3: the basics. Man. And it's just a reality check of
- 9:08Speaker 3: where we need to be and where we are. So
- 9:10Speaker 3: we're excited about this week, focus on this week and
- 9:13Speaker 3: you know, ready to go out there and showcase back
- 9:15Speaker 3: to what we've been doing.
- 9:16Speaker 4: You carry back to the game and then once in
- 9:19Speaker 4: the game if something kind of goes awry, and not
- 9:23Speaker 4: let that slide downhill as the team.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Again, it's it's practice practice for a reason. You practice
- 9:29Speaker 3: the right way, you prepare the right way. You let
- 9:31Speaker 3: you build up your confidence for a Sunday, and when
- 9:33Speaker 3: you Sunday comes, you don't know you don't done the
- 9:36Speaker 3: hard work and practice. So that carries on. Limit the mistakes.
- 9:40Speaker 3: You limit the mistakes and practice each day that carries.
- 9:43Speaker 4: On to the game.
- 9:44Speaker 3: You run to the ball in practice each day, it
- 9:46Speaker 3: carries on to the game. So we can show ourselves
- 9:49Speaker 3: that we can get back to doing that consistently every day.
- 9:52Speaker 4: Every play.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Sunday is gonna be easy. But again, you know what's
- 9:57Speaker 3: challenge ourselves here today, Tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just
- 10:01Speaker 3: get back on track.
- 10:02Speaker 1: The Sunday feel like a muscle win.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Every week is a muscle winning.
- 10:09Speaker 5: It's a mentally taxing season.
- 10:10Speaker 3: These are warm seasons for you as How do you distress?
- 10:13Speaker 1: How do you step away from the game? Is it
- 10:14Speaker 1: family for you?
- 10:15Speaker 3: Video games?
- 10:15Speaker 1: How do you kind of reset your.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Mind throughout the.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Family? You know, that's you know, when I'm not with
- 10:22Speaker 3: my family and I'm stepped away from my family because
- 10:25Speaker 3: it's napping or something, I'm back into football. So it's
- 10:28Speaker 3: like when I'm in when I'm in the house, put
- 10:30Speaker 3: my phone down, all that turns down and I am
- 10:33Speaker 3: with my family. We're outside running, you know, doing scooters,
- 10:36Speaker 3: you know, watching a movie, just doing things just as
- 10:38Speaker 3: a family, just so I can decompress and really just
- 10:41Speaker 3: not think about football, but as soon as I'm not
- 10:43Speaker 3: with them, I think about football, just to see how
- 10:45Speaker 3: well I can, you know, my matchup scheme wise, just
- 10:48Speaker 3: to always get an advantage if anyway I can find one,
- 10:51Speaker 3: sou And plus I just got some arm sludge football,
- 10:55Speaker 3: you know, in my house, so I have my boys
- 10:57Speaker 3: with me too, So it's like I'm working and playing
- 10:59Speaker 3: at the same time, getting them right, getting myself right,
- 11:01Speaker 3: and getting them tired while we do it. So kind
- 11:04Speaker 3: of works out for everybody.
- 11:05Speaker 1: We'll gonna be important.
- 11:06Speaker 4: But just trying to get that cause those early takeaways
- 11:09Speaker 4: just to kind of set some sort of tempo because
- 11:11Speaker 4: the takeaways haven't been there the way you want them
- 11:13Speaker 4: to be. The last couple of weeks.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Uh, well we had, I mean again, we since the
- 11:21Speaker 3: fourth breakdown. I think we're number three in the league
- 11:24Speaker 3: so far, and then we're still number one to takeaway,
- 11:26Speaker 3: so you know, we know the importance of takeaways and
- 11:29Speaker 3: we obviously have to stay on that. So takeaways that
- 11:32Speaker 3: comes with everybody running to the ball, comes with everybody
- 11:35Speaker 3: doing what it's supposed to do, comes with oh they
- 11:37Speaker 3: made a mistake, We're capitalized with their mistake. That's what
- 11:40Speaker 3: takeaways about. So you know, for us, go back to
- 11:42Speaker 3: the fundamentals, run to the ball, do what we need
- 11:44Speaker 3: to do, and then that all takes care of itself,
- 11:46Speaker 3: and uh, takeaways are gonna come. You know, I think, what, uh,
- 11:49Speaker 3: what's our record? I don't know what our record is
- 11:50Speaker 3: against takeaways? But I don't really care about it.
- 11:52Speaker 4: I do care.
- 11:53Speaker 3: We think about it all the time, sut my dog.
- 11:56Speaker 3: But that's a part of us ever, everybody doing the
- 11:58Speaker 3: right thing. So we continue to have them. Can you
- 12:00Speaker 3: had our model man fly around to the ball, have fun?
- 12:03Speaker 4: They gonna come. Johnson's a lot of reasons.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Why obviously, why you guys need to want to win.
- 12:09Speaker 3: How big is you know, just restore research? Do?
- 12:14Speaker 4: I mean?
- 12:14Speaker 3: That's it? Uh? You know, we gotta get back to that.
- 12:17Speaker 3: We ha, we gotta we gotta, we gotta win. It's
- 12:20Speaker 3: not must win. You wanna say every week's a must win. Uh,
- 12:24Speaker 3: But it's the way we go about it. You know,
- 12:26Speaker 3: we all expect to win, we all prepare to mindset
- 12:29Speaker 3: to win, but are we really doing the things each
- 12:32Speaker 3: day to prepare ourselves to actually win? And that's where
- 12:35Speaker 3: a reality check comes in. So for us to understand that,
- 12:39Speaker 3: to know that, to talk about it, to understand that
- 12:41Speaker 3: as a whole, not just individually, but to expecs your
- 12:44Speaker 3: individuality to the group. And then we can all bounce
- 12:47Speaker 3: our ideas and and bounce what we need to do,
- 12:49Speaker 3: how we need to handle things, and then communicate that
- 12:51Speaker 3: with the coaches. And now we can see a change
- 12:53Speaker 3: in practice. Alright, it's not focused on this. Let's focus
- 12:56Speaker 3: on this aspect so we can improve on that as
- 12:58Speaker 3: a team. And that's what we've been doing. Uh, that's
- 13:00Speaker 3: why I said today was a great week. Uh. We
- 13:03Speaker 3: we worked on the emphasize the things that we've been
- 13:06Speaker 3: we can do better on and uh make that a
- 13:09Speaker 3: key focus and you know, focused on that. So for
- 13:13Speaker 3: all our focus is in one direction again Today, Tomorrow, Friday,
- 13:20Speaker 3: you know, wilksontail go wash Kentucky, be Clemson, and then
- 13:23Speaker 3: Saturday Sunday go have some fun.
- 13:27Speaker 5: You got over the.
- 13:28Speaker 4: Gain guarantee.
- 13:30Speaker 3: For the guarantee and my my, I've always I'm not playing.
- 13:34Speaker 3: So yeah, you guys been pretty also been pretty good.
