• 0:10
  Speaker 2: rest of the league playing and how how did what.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Do you do about that?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I mean it's weird as just watching the games on
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: right now and we're about to go to practice, but uh, yeah,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: it just it just feels weird. Uh practicing Wednesday on
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: a Sunday, but ready to get back to work.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Why does did the outcome on Thursday make everybody or
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: make you more anxious to get back to work today?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: In a in a way, yes, ma'am. Anytime after a loss,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: you wanna try to figure out the mistakes and try
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: to fix 'em as fast as you can.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And just start to get back.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Working in a positive direction. So whether that be coming
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: in here working out or going to practice, uh or
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: just sitting at means just talking through the mistakes, you know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: just a step in the right direction, trying to fix
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: our mistakes and you know, get better and just move forward.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: What jumps out when you look at their defense on.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: To them who we play uh Dallas?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: My fat I was I thought you was talking about
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: the uh Niners Dallas. Uh, Well they got speed everyone
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: on their defense, and you know they've been in a
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: couple of shootouts and then they bloom some teams out.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: So uh, I mean it's hard to get ah a
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: good grip of uh who they really are you know
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: when you watch film. But they're a fast group who
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: who can get to the ball in a hurry. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and uh they have a pretty stack group of corners
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: on their team.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Five. I know, I was thinking, like he got more
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: touchdowns to me.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And what do's to say? But what does that say?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Not about his skills set, but about how you have
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to play the ball in that situation where make sure.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It doesn't it up right?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, he does what the receiver should do and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: let's shaved angles and meet the ball. So he does
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a an exceptional job at that. And it's rare that
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you see a cornerback, you know, be able to track
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the ball or catch the ball.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Like he doesn't. I mean he does it effortlessly.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So him get more our our tandem and you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: hate to see Trayvon Diaz go down. Uh my prayers
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: go out to him on his rolatary recovery. But I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: mean it seems like the next one up is duplicate
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to him. So you gotta shave angles, he said.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That everybody on offense needs to help gene. Uh where
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: do you feel like the receivers fit into that?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, catching ball when it's wrong to us and uh,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you know, just making him right on uh some throws.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Uh even though uh he puts it in our vicinity,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: we still can't make the catch. We're we're all elite receivers,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: so you know, just approach it that way when you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: look back on Thursday, why do you feel like the the.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Real offs.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think we just I I think I say this
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: every week. We just gotta execute better. And with execution
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that means just listening to the play call and just
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: doing our job but the best of our ability and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: not trying to, you know, do anything outside of our
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: norm And uh, I think that's uh me speaking for myself.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I I get caught up in trying to do too
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: much sometimes instead of just doing my job. So this
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: one thing i'm'a focus on this week is just doing
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: my job and trying to execute the the play to
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the best my ability.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: What what the what does try to do too much
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: look like?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: For you? So let's say they're in cover one or
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: cover two, and now I have a sight adjust or
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I have to change my route. I can't change my
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: route and try to do the scramble response. I have
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to finish my route first and then go to the
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: scrabble f uh response. Or I may have to hold
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: uh a dB with my route and not try to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: get myself open first and then try to hold the DV.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So not trying to do two things at once and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: try to you know, finish my route first and then
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: go on to the next step.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: How often have you caught yourself doing that?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I mean just watching film, Uh, I catch myself doing
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it quite a bit.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Is that an area maybe that you have to work
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: on your biggest area of growth?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I just say, yeah, i'm'a work on that. What do
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you feel like the team's overall psyching that it is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Let's face on a lot of three weeks so, uh,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: just still trying to find our identity. I mean, we
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: still haven't played a complete game, so I think that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the the uh only positive we can take away, you
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: know from uh this point of our season. Uh So
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: we still got work to do still, you know, have
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: some areas uh to improve, but uh, I think uh
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: our best ball is still in front of us and Uh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: we still have room to improve, whether that's playing as
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: a team or playing you know, a pl a complete
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: game as an offense. With the talent you have on offense,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: how what's the conference level you guys can get right here?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: A lot?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I mean a win in general in this league is
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: is a confidence booster. So just continuing to try to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: stack one day at a time and then one game
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: at a time.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You said you're trying to find your identity on offense.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like it is that you do
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: best as an offense? That would be your identity.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Create explosive players. But in order to do that, we
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: gotta set up the run in the past first, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you know w Without either of those, we can't create
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: explosives down the field. So I think we gotta start
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: with the run game, with the past game, and then
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: go forth from there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Did you think that Jackson's catch?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I think my reaction said it all. I was very excited.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, he does it in practice, so it was
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: nothing new. But just seeing how he adjusted one way
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and then turned a the other way and then caught
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it with one hand was crazy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Did did he make some crazy catch like that in
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: practice last weekly year?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: After it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his first catch in practice was a one hander.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, he's he different.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Do you did do teams usually have someone shadow you?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Or is that pretty rare that that it happened.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: This year hasn't been Uh, it hasn't happened as much
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: as in the past, but uh, I think uh, Tradarius
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Ward was the first personal shadowed me this year. No mm,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: cause it was off and on a lot. Uh when
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that happens to do you see like teams normally not
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: shadowing the guy, but they're like, alright, we're playing the Seahawks,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: so they differentiate from that. I mean, watching film, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: think a lot of teams play us differently because we
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: are we have me Jackson Locke this league Noah and
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: then Ken and Zach are running back. I think they
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: got a take into account of a lot of weapons
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: on offense. So I think teams do play us differently.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Those Thanksgivings times like an unusial botch mark or where
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: teams are during the season and out, you know where
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: how big is this game? Do you on on your
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: change to what it means for your season?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I'm being it's the next game, So I think we
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: just have to look at it in that aspect. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: can't get caught up in, you know, trying to figure
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: out or do numbers of playoff picture or anything like that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: We just gotta take it one game at a time.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And you know, if we went out, if we continue
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to win and take it one game at a time,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: we won't have to worry about calculations anything else.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You
