Speaker 1

Hello, and a lot of shit. We're actually just waiting for Brock to get off his off the field interviews. That's literally what it was. Yeah, we all sat there very an extra ten minutes. Ye did uh? What worked? Did you know? Whenever we have these trips and we play at one o'clock, you know, it's ten am kickoff for us. All it everbody really tells us is I just want you guys go out there, ignore the fact that it's ten am our time, and just go out there and fight and you know, go off on every

single play. And he was just proud of us that we know, we showed up, that we battled like it wasn't very pretty all the time. We have to score in the red zone better than that, you know, our defense, probably the Bucks offense was moving the ball a little bit with a couple you know, not great special teams plays, but being able to deal with all of that and

still come out with a win. Those are the that r like that reminds me of like Tales of nineteen, Like it's not gonna be pretty, but you just have to find ways to win no matter how ugly they are sometimes and it was just kind of fun to watch all of our receivers kind of run wild. That was really fun to see Ricky with the hell of a day and uh, Christians mcaffe still prety good football. Good for us. Yeah, a little bit. That was fun.

You let me talk about it. My only responsibilit on that play was to get covered by the safety so Christian could score a touchdown. And so I got covered, Christian didn't score, And I'm just kind of trying to find Brock in the back, which is it's hard to see sometimes because like one of his only shortcomings is that he's not the tallest quarterback. He's just hard to

see sometimes. But like one thing I love with Brock and scrambled Rill is like if you do lock eyes with him, like he was going to give you time to make a move and get open. And so he once we locked eyes, I tried to give him space in the corner of the end zone and he just dropped a dime like he always does. How long was he out? How long was like? How long? How many weeks did he miss? Like four? Five weeks? Yeah, So

I have a ton of confidence in Jake. He made it, Like I'm pretty sure he made all of his field goals all the week of practice. I think coming back as a kicker, the whole thing's mental, right, Like he has the leg, he can kick sixty yarders, but like the whole thing's mental. And for him just to go out there and one make all of his pats, which is huge, but like to miss it left, to miss it, right,

like just to come back and kick that one. I mean, I don't want to be in that guy's head for that last kick because I bet you anybody in that situation would be sweat and bullets. And for him just to go out there and kick it right down the middle, I think it was I I wasn't watching, really, I don't. I decided not to watch kicks, and for him to

do that, it's just awesome. I'm very happy for him because I think that's just gonna give him a ton of confidence moving forward, and watch the next week he'll be hopefully he's only one hundred percent of extra points. We only score touchdowns, guys, you don't watch. I made this decision, like I think it was like twenty eighteen or nineteen, like the one that I stood up and watched Robbie like missed it and like Robbie Gold never missed his kicks. I was like, I'm just gonna stop

watching kicks like from standing ups. So I usually just sit down, and then for some reason, I set up and I watched and Jake missed the first one. I was like, what am I doing? This is my fault cause I'm very superstitious a little. Yeah, and so now I just sit down, like I'll watch the board, but I just I don't watch the live rep of it. I have I have issues. Man, I'm sorry you feel that in a game, like, you know, just different in terms of what teams are doing and coverage and things

like that. Yeah, I mean when he's out there, it's hard to like double cover anybody because if you do that, then you're leaving Christian one on one on a linebacker most of the time. And so he opens that area up for us. And like you can see it too, like if you go back and watch the tape any pass plays that we had where it's nothing against like Jake, like Jordan Mason or Isaac. It's just Christian can run

every single round. You see the deep routs that he has, all the checkdowns that he gets, Like, guy, you can't double team anybody else. Because you have to help on Christian and so that opens up a ton of stuff for the wide receivers myself Debo, and so he makes everyone else's life much easier, including Brocks.
