Kind of getting back to where we're at the beginning of the season. UM, I think we played hard. You know, I think you know, everybody came out. You know, we knew that what we had to do. I'm going into that football game, you know, being the first time that we played them, that they were able to be balanced on us. I think we did a great job as a defense, UM stopping and run and UM disrupting the quarterback,
which what we did earlier in this season. This is a Ravens team that you know, they pride themselves on physical football, you know, running the ball inside. I'm looking at some of the guys that you have to go against, will be Jeremy Zoo, Marshall Ganda. What are some of the things that stand out when you when you watch them. I mean, number one, I respect those guys, but at the same time, you know, UM, we have a physical front front defensive line. Also, UM, I think that you know,
it's gonna be a physical football game. UM. You know, the most physical UM team go in. UM. I also think that, UM that our offensive line to be physical, our defensive lyne to be physical. And you know it's just you know, we're in a situation right now. What we gotta you know, it's you know, we gotta win
the football game. And I know everybody is in this team is focused and everybody's ready to go, and you know, to get ready to get deep into the game, playing on tomorrow for practice, um, to get ready to go for Sunday. Obviously it's it's a team sport. But I mean,
you can only speak for yourself. So with these games that you have left for me, what is it that it's really gonna fuel you to push through and put your best effort forward as you worked for the last week game as approached as you know, I'm approach just approached as I do every week, and I think you know that will help. You know, I have to be a leader. You don't have to keep the young guys going, because if I'm down, when the young guys are looking
at me and they're gonna be down, you know. But what drives me about this game is that, you know, I mean, I love it so much, and you know, winning and losing, you have to go out and compete every game. You don't have to go out and compete every day. And that's what I'm mostly looking forward to, you know, putting good tape on film. Do you feel like these last three games to build momentum toward next season, they have to Um, you know, we need to finish
these last three games strong and that thing. Let's take it on into next season, you know, take that momentum to the offseason where you know, hey, you know, we know what type of team we are. We know we can do when everybody is focused and doing what they have to do to be dominant in this league. It seems like everybody you're seeing the quarterback so well. I think, I mean, honestly, I think you know, he's you know, he's uh, you know, won a Super Bowl and all
those type of things. He's a great quarterback and another great quarterback in his league. As you said, Um, I think we just have to you know, be disruptive for earlier in the game. You know, we got to get him off a spot, hit him up, you know, hit him um you know, um, you know, make him do stuff that he's not comfortable doing. Um, and can't let him get hot. I think when once he get hot, you know, it's kind of hard to stop him. How
tough has this stretch been for you guys? Especially you start off so strong with a rookie quarterback, everyone's thinking about his team, his teams. It's a playoff team that's in that. But but but you know, this stretch of ten games, how tough has has been on you and the other veterans especially. I mean it's tough. I mean, it's part of it. I mean, that's what we signed up for. I mean, but you know, at the same time, we have to be mentally and physically ready because we
know what this league presents. You know, you know, we know that we have to be physical. Um you know each week, you know, we have to be ready for the game plan. You know, we can't shoot ourselves in the foot. You know, just things that that we've been doing that has been hurting us, you know, you know, to be a great football team, I don't think I think we eliminate those things. You know, and we're in a different position that we're in right now. But how is it to know that you guys were in a
great position and just kind of slipped away. It's tough. I think it's tough for anybody. I mean, you look at this situation that we that we were in. You know, started the season three and I started off hot, you know, we had an early by week, which I think kind of man step the momentum for us. But at the same time, you know, we don't control those type of things. We don't control when we get the bye week, you know, come out the bye week, we get a loss, and
you know we come back. Um, I think Washington, I don't know, it's been so long ago, man, But you know right now is it's it's not about how we started, man, just really, you know, right now, it's about you know, how we finished this season, the last three games and you know, taking it one day at a time, but taking it one week at a time. I don't know if you can if you remember, but are you able
to briefly talk about Temple's new coach Collins? And I'd actually talked to Jeff yesterday, man, and uh, Jeff is you know, he's excited about it. I'm excited for him. Um, you know, and Jeff is going to bring a lot of competitives, to competitiives, whatever, competitiveness to uh you know, to that to Temple. Man. You know, he bring a lot of juice, a lot of energy and he comes with it, you know every day. Um, you know, Jeff says, you know, he's a leader, you know, and I know
that from when I was at Missisippi State. You know, he always wanted to lead, lead the guys, you know, lead to defense, you know, just be one of the guys. That's that's actually you know, making a lot of noise at practice and that's why that's why players love him so much. Places person shot down Row Row
