  Speaker 1: What makes the the Detroit Lions offense so so dangerous?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Man, great play calling throughout the game, so you kind
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: of gotta be, you know, on t your tend to's
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: all game kind of just being alert. Run past team
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: that kind of leaves wild run. So you know in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: that in that case, you know they could dress it up.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You know their past plays kind of using their run,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: especially when they kind of get going early. So it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be big for us to stop to run and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: do it do it well.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: How dynamic is that that duo they got there between
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Montgomery and Gibbs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it easily win of the best in the league.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Obviously Gibs younger guy and he's real fast, obviously dynamic
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: out the backfield, and then Montgomery more of a look
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like a bruiser downhill back.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So a good combination at this point in the season.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Is it is it tough to kind of manage the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: emotions with with everything that's going on, the losses have
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: kind of stacked up. M quarterback heard, I mean it
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: almost feels like, you know, things aren't are just kind
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of going the way you want.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Mm.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, I say, uh for me going into
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: my fourth year and having it dealt with stuff like
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: this before.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You just keep going.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's that's really the biggest key, and it pays off
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in the hand. So as much as hard as it
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: is to look around and kind of you know, smell
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the g smell the flowers, as they say, right now,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it's not really that kind of te uh temperature in
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the building. You more so just wanna keep working, just
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: deal what adversity as you need to.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: How would you evaluate the frustration after this loss compared
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: to other losses this past weekend?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, as the team is super frustrating.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I think the emotion in the locker room kind of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: spoke to that. But as we move forward, I think
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: there's always it's really always something that you could hope for,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: especially in the NFL. Like I said, you y, they
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: make it so that week eight teen is is something
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that you could play play until. So you know, for us,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we still have a chance to you know, get where
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: we wanna go. Obviously it's gonna be extremely difficult and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we have a long road ahead, but taking a week
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: by weekend and more importantly day by day, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: could put us in the right spot.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: What was that emotion post game this week compared to
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: previous weeks, I.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Think just real uh, big disappointment I think from the team.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I think from a defensive standpoint, you know, bushing we
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: even did more. I think we had a good obviously
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: good performance, but wishing que we can make more, more
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: more play and maybe I'll finished the interception. Little things
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like that, you know, that kind of kind of hurt
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: going into a week coming out of a game like that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the the same turnovers coming bunches.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Does it feel like after getting you know, I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: for the last two weeks out now the damns kind
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: of starting to break.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of it is really just playing together.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Turnovers do not happen because of one player. It is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: all eleven players on the field. It gonna happen, whether
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's disguising pass rush. So just coming together as a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: defense count you do. You see the turnovers are coming.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: You alluded to it a little bit, but just the
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: explosive places you guys are able to kind of limit those.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Last week coming into Doctor Doug early, they the Detroit
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Lions are a team that you like take their shots,
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: you know, is that kind of an infasi uhu in
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: emphasis for you guys this week or is it kind
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: of just you know, play it out the way you
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: guys have been doing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna take a a lot of you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: obviously staying on top and our our cover, our corners
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: covering well, uh for as a safety, just continue to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: study to takee uh getting a good feel for you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: where the quarterback wants to go, any tendencies we can
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: get and then yeah, like you said, explosive team and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they kind of live off of that. So you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: kind of doing that uh along stopping a rung or
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: put us in a good spot.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Obviously, we saw them taking a lot of shots and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: led to a lot of turnovers for Houston to be
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: able to get. You h you guys got your hands
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: on some balls last year week as well against Minnesota.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: You know, you can't duplicate different team and everything, but
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: does that sort of kind of play out. You know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: they're gonna take your shots, so it's a little bit
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: more infestius on being available to get those turnovers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, so, I mean just just you know, a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: team like Houston kind of putting out on tape is
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a good indicator for us to you know, cu well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: what's possible? So so yeah, we we We've been watching them.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I guess. Uh so.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, I mean it's a great team. Uh, great
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: coaches as well. I just feel like we have to
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: go out and it's more so about us than them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, two headed running back though back there so the
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: guys that are actually split their carriers equally this year.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Uh how about the skill set that they present?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Uh great?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: They they both bring a lot to the game. Uh
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: like you say, they both right there with each other
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: in carries. I mean, we just gotta do what we
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: do best. It's all about us, It's not about them
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: at all.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: How difficult is it to, I guess, manage the emotions
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of the season right now when you the losses have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: kind of stacked up.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: You quarterback has.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Injuries, there are injuries at other spots. Kind of feels
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like stuff is just not going going right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I mean now we're just h w to
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: a point out or what we dug ourself in the hole.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: But if you look at our schedule, I mean it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: it's really not over with us. We just have to
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: We just made it a little harder on ourselves to
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: w where we have to go out and win every
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: game from here on out. And I feel like that's
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: definitely a accomplishable with the team that we have and
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: UH where we're trying to go.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So SCO study seeing guys buying even more now at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this point in the season, and you've seen the same.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Thing, uh most definitely.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Uh, Like we always talked about every sin every year
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: I've been here late in the season, once it gets
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: to like the late November December, Uh, you have to
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: win those games and the stretches if you wanna be
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: considered in the uh playoffs or wild call whatever.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Kind of a high risk kig reward offense you guys
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: are playing coming up on Sunday. You know how many
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: point is to take advantage of those opportunities to maybe
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: even in not just getting hairs on the ball, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: get your.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Hands on the quarterback.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: It's gonna play a major role. Like I For me,
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: I like to look at it as if we do
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: what we need to do upfront by stopping the run, UH,
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: then once we stop the run, I feel like we
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: can get out the any any quarterback, regardless.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Of who's on the offensive line.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Like I always say, it's it's about us more so
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: than about them.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: And if we're able to do that, then I feel
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: like we'll have a good Chane said, winning this game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Have you ever stopped and thought about what would have
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: happened if you went to Detroit first?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Overall? Never? Huh? Never?
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: In in Lae week's game, did you feel like on
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: the penalty that you got at the end that it
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: was just a question did you feel it was just
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: your competitive desire, your knew you just knew you had
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: to get a ball, something had to happen because time
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: was running out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: Uh So since you asked kind of in detail, for me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: it was just one of those plays to where I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: a guy, I m'a always play through the whistle, uh
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: until I'm not trying to be not trying to hurt
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: anybody or anything like that. But from my perspective on
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: the field, seeing what I seen him being on top
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: of another player fouryer driving him back up and me
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: not hearing the whistle on So I'm just steady punching
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: at the ball, trying to get it out and make
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: a play for my team.
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: I'm big it would a repeat performance, uh for this
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: defense be to kind of keep a high powered offensive Bay.
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: Say that again, how big would it be for this
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: defense to kind of have a repeat performance keeping your
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: in opposing offensive Bay?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Major.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: I feel like, Uh, last week out Uh, the whole
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: defense as a collective, we played pretty good. Just a
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: little few minor things here and there. But Uh, like
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: I said, if if we can carry that over from
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: the last week or so and to this week, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: feel like we would definitely have a great chance of
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: comp getting our goal accomplished.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: And that's winning.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: All we have to do is just keep the team
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: from scoring, regardless of if our offense score or not.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: We get takeaways and we score on defense, we don't
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: have to worry about losing the game.
• 6:31
  Speaker 11: So it was considered one of the best right tackles
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: in the in the in the league. Does it show
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: up on tape and do you cat how much do
• 6:36
  Speaker 11: you kind of relish that match up good versus good?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's definitely a great play.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: He's been one of those guys that's been talking about
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: a lot in the media, and you turn on the
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: film you see the work that he does.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, obviously I'm looking forward to it and uh,
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: it's gonna be a great challenge.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: What sort of match up nightmares does he create when
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: he gets out in space like he did this past
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Sunday where he's the lead blocker.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: For me, I wouldn't say it's any nightmares, but uh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: to any guys on the back end, that's probably a
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: question for them.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: What's more satisfying to you using your power to over
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: overtake somebody to get to the quarterback or doing what
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: you did last week?
• 7:08
  Speaker 11: Were you a knife through two defenders and just immediately
• 7:11
  Speaker 11: get to the quarterback?
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Power, It's all about taking manhood for me.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the takeaways. The takeaways were hard to come
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: by early. They always say they come in bunches. Do
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you feel like, uh, last week was maybe the start
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of kind of the faucet opening up a little bit
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: damn breaking.
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: Turnovers like like we say, we always talk on getting
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: the ball off of 'em. Uh, I feel like if
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: once we get the ball off of 'em, then everything
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: is in our hands. We c I feel like we
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: can help put offense in great field position to go
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: down to score, or even once we get our hands
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: on the ball, we can go score ourselves. And that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: what I was saying earlier to where if we do
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: get our hands on the ball, we can go score.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: As long as we keep the offense from scoring, now
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: we win.
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I think it's just getting repetitions in that
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: Q be one spot right. You do your best to
• 7:57
  Speaker 12: acclimate yourself throughout the work week if you're if you're
• 8:00
  Speaker 12: not in that first team by you know, and mac
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: is the ultimate profession. But there's something different to actually
• 8:08
  Speaker 12: getting those reps. So for him, I know he's got
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: a fire underneath him this week. I think we all do,
• 8:15
  Speaker 12: and uh, you know we're we're excited to get some
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: more practice with him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: How challenging is this Detroit defense and what looks they
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: do they present?
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: No, Well, not only is it a good scheme that
• 8:27
  Speaker 12: they run, but individually they have talent all over the defense.
• 8:33
  Speaker 12: I think especially the interior that defensive line is is
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: is a good and you know they of course they
• 8:39
  Speaker 12: got Zidarius. He's a great player. And those linebackers, whether
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: in they're in base or nickel, pose challenges of their own.
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: So yeah, it's it's a it's I mean, there's a.
• 8:49
  Speaker 12: Reason why they're eight and one if they they play
• 8:52
  Speaker 12: team football, and uh, you know, they rally around each
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: other and it'll be a great competitive atmosphere and we're
• 8:59
  Speaker 12: gonna have to that's their intensity. And understand that we're
• 9:02
  Speaker 12: going into a hostile environment.
• 9:04
  Speaker 11: Which is it the usual fire of a pregame week
• 9:07
  Speaker 11: or is it a different fire based on maybe where
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: you guys are at.
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: Well, I think it would be hard to say here.
• 9:14
  Speaker 12: You know, being two and eight doesn't light another fire
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: underneath you. And I think we're at a juncture in
• 9:18
  Speaker 12: our season where we can go one way or another
• 9:20
  Speaker 12: in regards to rallying around each other or dissipating into individuals,
• 9:25
  Speaker 12: and I think we're going to do the former, and
• 9:28
  Speaker 12: it's a really exciting thing to be.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: A part of.
• 9:30
  Speaker 12: And you know, all we can do is come in
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: here and work. And I know that's a horse that's
• 9:34
  Speaker 12: a beat dead, but it's the truth. You know, we're professionals,
• 9:37
  Speaker 12: and you know we haven't liked what's are you know
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: what we've been able to do, And so we're just
• 9:43
  Speaker 12: gonna look at individuals like myself, how can I be better?
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: And then rally around each other, lean on each other,
• 9:49
  Speaker 12: because if you start being a recluse or kind of
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: cutting yourself off from everyone else and just trying to
• 9:56
  Speaker 12: go through the motions is when this can get real
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: miserable and no one wants that to.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: How different is this for you? I don't know that
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: you've I don't know if you had a if you
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: had an eight lost season in your.
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: I know, I'm no. But this is a you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: it's part of the gig.
• 10:10
  Speaker 12: It's uh, it's part of the business. It's you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: every team is uh, it's kind of goes to their
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: own challenges throughout the year. We've definitely had our own
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: and you know, we're gonna we're gonna attack the work
• 10:24
  Speaker 12: weeks no matter what the record is and uh, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: go out swinging if that may be.
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: If that's the case, maybe in.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: A situation like this, do you try to change things
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: up or do you just keep the same routine, the
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: same practice.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: Well, you try to change.
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think you have to look at it pragmatically,
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: which is you do have a change a little bit.
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: Now we're gonna just flush everything down a toilet and
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: start over. No, but I think individually you look at
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: what maybe not you know, might not be clicking throughout
• 10:54
  Speaker 12: the week, and sometimes it's minute changes, sometimes it's big ones,
• 10:57
  Speaker 12: and uh, you know, I don't I don't think we're
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: whatever where you do. It's not hitting panic mode. It's
• 11:02
  Speaker 12: understanding that, you know, some things might have to change
• 11:05
  Speaker 12: because uh, you know, we're just not satisfied with where
• 11:08
  Speaker 12: we are, Mitch.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: You guys, we're all very critical of the offensive performance
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: on Sunday.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Kind of getting back to mc jones a little bit.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: How beneficial is to have a guy that's kind of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: been in that role before, it has that experience in
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: bouncing back from these stur performances.
• 11:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, Max a pro and he's been there before,
• 11:23
  Speaker 12: and uh, you know, he's he's such a competitor. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 12: you know, the only thing that I I'm not a
• 11:29
  Speaker 12: fan of is how much he puts on a weight.
• 11:31
  Speaker 12: He puts on his shoulders. And that's the problem you have,
• 11:34
  Speaker 12: and that's a good one. So you know, we're just
• 11:36
  Speaker 12: gonna try to make his job uh as easy as possible.
• 11:41
  Speaker 12: Understand that QB position is a unique one, and uh,
• 11:44
  Speaker 12: come out and just compete, I think, compete and put
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: our best foot forward come Sunday, cause we're gonna need to.
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: We're gonna we're gonna need to. We're gonna wanna win
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: or have a chance to.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: You know, the way you guys can help mac out
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: is to you know, obviously get the run game going.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: How much of the key and how important is that
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: to get that move and so you can kind of
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: maybe get some things started early and keep rolling throughout
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 12: I think if you saw a last game, time of
• 12:02
  Speaker 12: possession was a huge point of emphasis, right, Like, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: don't know if it's so much the run game, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: we gotta find a way to stay on the field
• 12:10
  Speaker 12: or uh give our defense a little bit of a
• 12:12
  Speaker 12: chance to take a breather, because, uh, that wasn't fair
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: to anyone, and you know it wasn't a secret we
• 12:17
  Speaker 12: we we felt on the sidelines. So if that means
• 12:21
  Speaker 12: incorporating the run game or do whatever we need to,
• 12:24
  Speaker 12: we're gonna try our best.
• 12:27
  Speaker 13: I mean it's very simple. Uh, just gotta play better,
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: gotta execute. Everybody has to do their job better. Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 13: it's very simple. We're gonna get another opportunity on Sunday. Uh,
• 12:36
  Speaker 13: that's the that's the best part about it. We're gonna
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: attack it head on. I had a great day today.
• 12:41
  Speaker 13: Energy in here is great. Attitudes are great, and so
• 12:45
  Speaker 13: that's just that's how.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: We're gonna roll.
• 12:46
  Speaker 13: We're gonna continue to fight and if a good is
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: eventually gonna come for.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Sure, confidence though with Mac Jones getting a second opportunity
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: now a full week of practice, knowing he's the.
• 12:56
  Speaker 13: Guy, Yeah, no, it's uh, it's another great opportunity for
• 12:59
  Speaker 13: him as well. Uh, some adversity in the game. We
• 13:03
  Speaker 13: all have our own adversity in the game. We all
• 13:05
  Speaker 13: had our own part in Sunday, and we all have
• 13:08
  Speaker 13: corrections to make and we all have something to answer,
• 13:11
  Speaker 13: so including him. So we're all riding together. We're gonna
• 13:15
  Speaker 13: ride together, We're gonna die together. That's that's the motto
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: I've been rolling with and uh, definitely gonna roll into
• 13:21
  Speaker 13: Detroit with it for sure.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the energy.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: A couple of guys said that at this point of season,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they're seeing guys buying more.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is that what you're saying?
• 13:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think I think that's really that's that's the
• 13:33
  Speaker 13: real excitement in something like this. Obviously, this is not
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: what we want to be, this is not what we expected,
• 13:39
  Speaker 13: but what a great opportunity to respond to adversity, to
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: fake go ahead, on to something really challenging, something that's
• 13:47
  Speaker 13: uh the one percent get to do every Sunday. Uh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 13: that's the exciting part of it. And that's the same
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: way for me. I see a beautiful opportunity in this
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: to continue to lead, continue to work, continue to grow,
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: and continue to tack this thing head on. And I'm
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: I'm in the environment surrounded by that with the other guys.
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: So just a great opportunity. Uh, definitely, the energy is great.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Is that normal from teams? I mean when they're struggling
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: like that to to find like this or does that just.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Show the type of type of group you got to Yeah,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that's I mean.
• 14:19
  Speaker 13: It really comes down to how you know, what kind
• 14:22
  Speaker 13: of competitor are you?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: As a man?
• 14:25
  Speaker 13: As a competitor when things aren't going right, how do
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: you how do you show up to work every single day?
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: And I think you know, I can I can only
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: speak on us.
• 14:33
  Speaker 13: We have the right guys in here that you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 13: answer that bell every time. So obviously the situation is
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: not what we want, but we all make that decision
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: in the morning. We wake up to coming here with
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: the right mindset and the right work ethics. So I'm
• 14:47
  Speaker 13: definitely blessed to be around that. We're gonna continue to
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: work to make our situation better.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like you're seeing that by in outside
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: of the locker room, everyone in the organization, coaching staff,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: across the board.
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: Uh, yeah, that's the U Like I said, that's the
• 15:01
  Speaker 13: you know, beautiful part you know in this Uh, it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 13: just the opportunity to respond, you know.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: M N.
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: I think adversity, you know, we all everybody, every human
• 15:12
  Speaker 13: experiences adversity. There's so much growth in that if you
• 15:15
  Speaker 13: attack it with the right mindset. I just think that's
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: in our DNA here to you know. Obviously, like I said,
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: this is not what we plan for, This is not
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: what we work for, This is not what we expected
• 15:26
  Speaker 13: of ourselves.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: We obviously expect more.
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: But there's beauty and the struggle and there's something to
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: grow from this or something to learn from this, and uh,
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: we keep attacking with the right mindset.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: A good is a good is gonna come YEA. If
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: you talk about adversity, how beneficial.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Is is it to have a guy like Mac Jones
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: who's experienced some of that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Adversity in this role? Yeah?
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: Uh that y you have to have that resilient uh
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: character at the quarterback position. Every quarterback has to have
• 15:53
  Speaker 13: that trade and has to be flexed a lot. So
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: Mac is uh one of the most resilient players I've
• 15:59
  Speaker 13: been around. He is uh not phased by hardship. He
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: tacks the head on and uh that's that's important for
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: that quarterback room entirely. I think it's contagious in there
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: from the top down. So that's that's a great, uh
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: you know, aspect for him to bring to us. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: we have to help him be resilient, and he's gonna
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: help us be resilient. It's all a brotherhood. We're all
• 16:21
  Speaker 13: gonna keep fighting together. So that's uh, that's a great
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: you know, that's a great trade Mac has and he's
• 16:26
  Speaker 13: gonna continue to flex it.
