  Speaker 1: Yeah, great team effort. Just thankful that, you know, a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: small market team like us can come into a place
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: like Mile High and get it done. Yeah, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yes, yeah, very impressed, you know, very impressed
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: with the way these guys have continued to compete, Trevor.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The offensive line had to shuffle a few things. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: thought they protected really well, did some really good things
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in the past game. Parker Washington stepped up in a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: huge way. You know, all those guys. I think he
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: threw it to about seven different receivers in the game,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: whatever it was. And guys just keep battling and making places.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We went into the third success in particular, you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I think we had a good plan. I think Spencer Whipple,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Grant Edinski, those guys did a great job with the plan.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Trevor Mendelssohn does our third down runs, and we actually
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: ended up throwing one of the runs that ended up occurring.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It was a quarterback draw that we ended up throwing
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that hit Parker on an outcut that he went down
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the sidelines. But I think our staff did a great job.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: The players, under obviously a loud atmosphere on the road,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: did a great job of executing the third down plan.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Really you look at third down in red zone is
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: kind of where we ended up winning the game. Uh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I think he did fine, you know. I mean, I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: think we had one miss Q down on third down
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in the red zone, the Jacobi in the back of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the end zone that got kind of tipped. We had
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a miscue their communication. But I was very proud of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Walker being able to step in. Uh, nobody flinched, nobody
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: blinked when when he was going on in. Jonah Manheim
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: going on in, and so those guys stayed the course. Kale, Sean, Kale, Trevor. Great,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: they've done a great job with that group, and very
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: proud of them. Ran twenty seven times. Yeah, it was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: one of those we weren't popping many of them. You know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the one pitch earlier in the game that got us
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: down inside the five. We executed well, which I think
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: kind of alleviated some of the pressure we were feeling
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: early on. We need to continue to get better in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that department. But the quarterback, Trevor being able to scramble
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: get us some hard yards, especially down later in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: game when you need to get a couple first downs.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: We were able to do that a little bit. Yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the resilience early on, and you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: first two drives we couldn't do much. They kind of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: gloved some of our concepts. He was under some pressure
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and he never flinched. He never got out of his
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: comfort zone. He he's he's been playing at a high level,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he's been preparing and practicing at a high level. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this this team's behind him. You know, they really they
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: appreciate him, they respect him, and he's stepping up for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: us in a big way. There's a little tiny cheek
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, but do you feel like this is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a win that can change the narrative for your group?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We don't care, you know, we really don't care about
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the narrative. You know, it's I'm sorry to say that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but it's only helping us. So I want the narrative
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to keep coming touch. How president is it the way
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he can just sort of wiggle out those tiger at times? Yeah? Man,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he's so explosive, He's so strong. His lower half is
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: very explosive. He works extremely hard in the off season
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to prepare, He works extremely hard during the season to prepare,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: uh to get his body right. And and we knew,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you know, we weren't sure who certain would would match,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: whether it would be BT or Jacobi, and a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of things work kind of set up for Parker to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have a day and to be one of the number
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: one targets of today. So that didn't just happen. We
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: prepared that way all week, wanted to get him involved early. Uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and he had a look in his eye from a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: very early start that he was going to have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: big day. Yeah. Yeah, we were opportunistic. I thought on defense,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, five or four there were five or fourteen
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on third down, one of three on fourth down want
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: them and they got in the red zone twice, so
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I know, the yards were high, and they
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: hit some explosive passes and some catching runs underneath that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we weren't thrilled about. But I thought our guys did
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a great job of just digging in, playing physical. Uh.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Jarian Jones huge interception to stop a drive, a couple
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of big time stops. So very proud of the defensive
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: staff and campion those guys not just winning him this season,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but twelve year home streak here, Like yeah, I mean,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it just shows that this team doesn't mind going and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: playing anywhere, anytime, any place, and we've been successful on
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the West Coast this year. I think that the guys
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: get closer when we go on the road actually in times,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and they enjoy being with each other. It's a group
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that enjoys, you know, players, coaches, staff, we all kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of enjoy each other and hanging out and traveling and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: playing in games that nobody really thinks we're gonna win.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It's like this in a row. Is this the best
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you you've kind of seen him playing? Yeah, I mean,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's had some stretches in his career where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he's really played at a high level. But the consistency
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that you're talking about, especially and during this stretch that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we've had, it's the best I've seen him, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in terms of being around him in a short period
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of time. But it's no surprise. Really, We're we're we've
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: stayed the course. He is stay of the course. We've
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: tried to make the game tailored to him in a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lot of ways, and he's stepping up for us and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: making critical throws, critical scrambles, protection changes, run cans, alerts.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing at all, He's doing everything that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you want your your guy to be doing and he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: doing it at a high level right now.
