  Speaker 2: It's because of their work ethic, is because of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: commitment that they've made day in and day out just
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to come and do do Cam right there, he epitomizes
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: all Cam Edwards you're listening, just the commitment that, the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: way they've hung together, done everything we've asked. I mean,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, they deserve this. They've worked really really hard
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: for it, and they're an unentitled group and they're awesome
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to look at him. They're having fun here.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: With Jim More a post game, I want to ask
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you about a guy defensively, specifically Amir Renwick. You know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Twoey I Meana Brown goes down in that first half.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Amir comes in the first play. Yeah yeah, so you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: know it's next man up. But Amir just had a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: game he.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Did and you know, I mean, here's Dal walking out
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: right now. I mean we never even announced that, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Dal broke his foot, you know, and he's gonna have
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to have surgery on Monday. I did that in practice
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, so we had to overcome that. And then
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, two he goes down. So two of your
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: veteran leaders go down. Uh, you know, right at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: start of the game, and guy's got to step buff
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and play. And I thought that Amir. You know, he
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: struggled early and then he got it going. He played
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: really really well, which we expect to him, and the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: guys around him helped him, and we rallied and we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: got to win.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So we'll take it last one, that last time that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you had the ball, the offensive drive. Durell finishes it
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: off with the touchdown. But what does it mean all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: season long to have guys that you know you can
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: just feed them. You ran the ball every play on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that drive and you hit Peter.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you know you're talking about now and you're talking
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: about Durell and you're talking about obviously Cam. I mean,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: what a group here they are walking by us. What
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a group, you know? And then Victor you know, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: know he red shirted, and then you got we got
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oliver ready to go. So it's a great group. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: then you know, you talk about kind of some unsung
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: heroes like Josiah Gathings, who you know, for the second
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: win in a row, has made a really nice play
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on a back shoulder throw from Joe to to score
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a touchdown to kind of get us going. So we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: got a lot of guys that can make plays and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: we just got to keep distributing the ball to him.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to see where we end up for a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: ball game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be fun, all
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Right, Thanks coach,
