00:00 Have you talked to Coach Payton since that, you know,
00:03 that thing blew up on social media, got a lot of news?
00:07 Him yelling at you like he did on the sideline?
00:09 Yeah, we've definitely talked about the game plan
00:11 for this week.
00:12 You know, we're excited to play football.
00:14 I mean, we, you know, I think the biggest thing is,
00:16 is, you know, we're focused on beating New England
00:20 and playing a good game against them.
00:21 Obviously this game matters.
00:23 And that's really where our head is.
00:25 What do you think when you kind of see all the stuff
00:26 on social media and TV,
00:28 they're replaying that particular clip
00:30 and all that kind of stuff?
00:31 I don't really try to pay attention to it,
00:32 to be honest with you. I was there.
00:34 I think, I think,
00:37 I think we both wanted to score a touchdown there.
00:39 I think that's what, that's, you know,
00:40 we all wanted to score.
00:41 We all, you know, we wanted to make it,
00:43 you know, think about, you know, that is, you know,
00:45 a score, score is 21-0, come out of the half.
00:47 We did a great job coming down the field.
00:48 Boom, touchdown, 21-7.
00:50 We believe, you know, knowing us and coming back
00:52 and all the comebacks we've had is we're going to win this game,
00:54 you know, and unfortunately they go down and they score 28-7.
00:57 Okay, we come back down again. Boom, go all the way down.
01:00 You know, we get the ball, you know, across, we think,
01:02 and the vice versa didn't work out, whatever it is,
01:05 and even get a fourth and one, we get it in there,
01:07 and then they call a penalty, you know, so, you know,
01:08 that was just an unfortunate situation
01:10 because we believed it was going to make it 28-14.
01:11 So that's really where all the frustration was
01:15 is that we didn't, you know, get to make it 28-14
01:17 there in that situation.
01:18 In your experience, how much are passion and temper,
01:22 how much is that just a part of a game
01:24 that's got a sport that has a lot of emotion
01:26 and a lot of intensity?
01:28 Yeah, I mean, I think that as much time
01:30 as we all spend on the game, the process, everything else,
01:35 I think Coach Payton is one of the greatest winners
01:37 and coaches in the game, you know, in all time,
01:40 and he's just, he's competitive, you know.
01:44 I know what I've been able to fortunately be able to do
01:45 in this league as well.
01:47 We're all competitive.
01:48 We all are, you know, trying to win every week, you know,
01:53 and I think that's the part that you love about this game,
01:56 you know, it's a passionate game, man.
01:57 It's a passionate game that we love.
01:59 So, like I said, you know, we're focused on, you know,
02:02 winning this week, you know, and trying to be,
02:05 winning the process of this week, you know,
02:06 that this week is really a significant week.
02:08 We still got a great chance,
02:11 and so we're focused on playing really good football.
