• 0:00
  Speaker 1: No, obviously, it's you know, a great team win. Uh.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought offensively, we're you know, really efficient
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in the first half, second half, you know, got the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: run game going a little bit. Third quarter was a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: little sloppy obviously with the turnovers, and we've got to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: clean that up obviously, but you know, to be able
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to you know, end end the game on our terms
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in four minute situation, you know, running the football out.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You know, that's how you want to end every single game.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: What can you say about the last two games? While
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: you guys have started offensively so pass the game just so.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Many going well yeah, again, I think just you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the detail that we put in throughout the week is
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: what makes it happen. Our offensive line, you know, getting
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: things started with the run game and you know, being
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: able to you know open up that play action pass game. Uh,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the drop back pass game I felt like was pretty
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: good as well. Third downs again, converting some of those
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you know, third mediums was huge today, especially early in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the game. And then you know, I can't say enough
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: about our defense. The way our defense comes out there
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: every you know, every game, it seems like, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like they they do a really good job,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, I feel very uh, you know, just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: lucky to play with a with a team like this
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and with a defense like this as well.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: See whenever center goes out for you and you're having
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to find out how to switch big game, what's how
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: difficult is that? What's a process like? And obviously you
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: guys have the mist exchange there, but you know what
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: do you kind of look to do to clean up
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in a situation like that?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just got to continue to work together. You know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we got as many snaps as possible. Even before that,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we were getting a ton of snaps together. But we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: got to clean that up.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Obviously you mentioned the wrong game, but to go up
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to two hundred yards before the kneel downs, just really
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: run the ball the way you did the second half.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I know this offenses really wanted to run the ball
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: all season to get it go like that. How big
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is that for you guys?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge. You know, anytime you can get the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: run game going, you know, it's uh, it's obviously huge
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for our offense. You know, the way that we want
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to play. So you know, credit, like I said to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the to the offensive line, but not only those guys,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the tight ends, running backs, the receivers for doing their
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in the run game.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Was one time with here one. Yeah, Glance, but did
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you notice the defense is playing your pass game differently
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: because of.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I think just having shaheat out there, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it poses a threat of you know, him potentially getting
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the ball on a sweep like I said, you know
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I think I said that, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: then you know, being able to go over the top
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of him as well. You know, with his speed, you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: can just feel it out there. You know, it's a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it's a different gear that he can hit.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Jackson getting two a thousand yards now in the season
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: already at this point this year, I mean, we pass
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you so much fat already.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But anything surprising at this point in terms of the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: acclagency's already wrecking up. No, I think, you know again,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's a credit to the work that he's put
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in not only this offseason, but throughout his entire career
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and his whole life, you know, working to get to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: this point. And you know, knowing him, I know that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna continue to put in that work and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: stay hungry.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That way I get that touchdown.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was awesome, man. You know, it's great to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: see George getting there, especially get that touchdown. We all
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know how talented George is. I mean, we're turning kickoffs
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: all the time for us. You know, a few runs
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that he had in the preseason. You know, he just
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he always you know, he's a guy that you can
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: depend on. He knows what he's doing, not only in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the run game, but you know in protection as well.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We're concerned about the ball security, but that's a center
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: first snap and you maybe a freak with the guy
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: hitting glancing blow as you lost the ball is concern.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just gotta you know, you know, for me personally,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, continue to get the ball out.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I felt like I could have gotten the ball out
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on a a little bit quicker on that you know
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: pass that you know got deflected there, or the fumble
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: as my hand was going back. So I can always
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do better that way. But again, those that's that's part
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of the game. At the same time, you know, those
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: things are going to happen. You don't want him to happen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but they they are going to happen sometimes. And then
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: again the deflection off the helmet, the interception or at hand.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was exactly, but you know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: those those things happen in football, and it's just how
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: fast can you move on and go to the next play, the.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Big play at Cooper copy look for a minute, like
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you could maybe we're going to run it, and obviously
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we're got to throw it. What's that decision making like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in that moment, like, Okay, I got room to run.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a lot faster than me, So get the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ball out to that guy that can run faster than me,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and he's further down the field. So it's, uh, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it is a tough decision though that sometimes, but and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that that you know, he was so wide open and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I knew he was going to be able to go
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: go make some yak and so just was able to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: get the ball out to him.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It looks like you took a little bit of a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: step back before you threw that and be content with
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: where the yard blight of scrimmage is at? Is that
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: something that in you know, real time, that can be
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: kind of tricky to try to a gate there. Maybe
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: that would have been precautionary, Like I just want to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: make sure that I for sure ball out behind the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: line there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, you know, And in certain situations like that,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when I got a ton of space and I see
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a guy's wide open, sometimes I'll you know, even just
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: give a little peek and kind of check the sticks
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: so you can, you know, quarterback can get caught in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a tough situation that way sometimes with understanding where the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sticks are. But again, that's just part of the situational awareness,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know that I've been working on.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: When you see Marcus have a fair of touchdowns on
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the same play with Tyree's what's kind of your reaction
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: on the site when you see those playoff back and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: back like that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just all right. You know, we can sit
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: back down on the bench and get ready to go here,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the defense get back out there and maybe
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: force another turnover. So you know, again, like I said,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: our defense is doing a great job. And to see
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: d Law and Tnight kind of play the way that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they have been, you know, you know, and it's not
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just today, you know, it's been showing up, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: throughout the entire season. It was just a matter of when,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and today was their day. And I was so happy
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for both of them. Appreciate it, guys,
