00:00 Just injury update, Tony Brown concussion, Josh Downs knee,
00:04 and then Drew Overtree's got a foot.
00:06 With that, ready when you guys are.
00:07 Was Josh Downs a new injury,
00:09 or is that just what he was dealing with during the week?
00:11 He was dealing with it during the week, so, yeah.
00:13 I should think of Kenny Moore, obviously, two huge plays,
00:15 but just ball skills and the ability to make huge plays.
00:19 Phenomenal. I mean, really, to be honest,
00:21 there's no surprise there.
00:22 The way he practices, the way he works,
00:23 he shows up, he watches tape, he does it the right way,
00:26 and when you do it the right way,
00:28 you're going to make plays on Sunday,
00:29 which is what he did for us, which was huge.
00:30 I mean, 14 points by him was phenomenal.
00:33 What's the vibe like in the locker room after this one,
00:35 where three games losing streak,
00:36 it felt like these guys needed this one.
00:38 Oh, no, it's huge. Anytime you lose three straight,
00:40 you got to get back on track,
00:41 and we felt that this was the week to do that,
00:43 and we got it done,
00:44 and now we got to get our minds right to go to Germany.
00:46 Kenny's always been an instinctive player.
00:48 Just what role does the player's instincts play?
00:51 It's huge. I think that's part of it.
00:53 The best players in the league have great instincts.
00:55 You know what I mean?
00:56 You coach them as hard as you want with the guys
00:58 and they're really good with ball skills and good instincts.
01:00 Sometimes that takes over, and he's got a great feel
01:03 for that position inside there at the nickel position,
01:05 and he just continues to show up and make plays.
01:08 I would say the result speaks for itself.
01:09 Is Kenny one of those guys you can lean on
01:11 when you're on a three-game losing streak,
01:13 no veteran in that locker room?
01:15 Oh, there's no doubt.
01:16 Those veteran presence in there, him and Buck and,
01:17 you know, Grove and all those guys,
01:19 I mean, those guys are legit players,
01:21 and, you know, when you have a tough time in this league,
01:23 and sometimes you lose three in a row, how do you respond?
01:26 And you lean on those players in the locker room
01:28 to bounce back and have that veteran leadership,
01:30 and that's what they did for us.
