Transcript
00:00 First of all Jermaine, most important thing, how are you feeling? You were injured, that's the most important thing.
00:05 I'm like crap, but I'll be good. I'll be good. Nothing that little medicine can't help me.
00:13 Coming into Arrowhead, winning this game, with all that this team has been through is an impressive statement.
00:20 For you, a guy that pride is a lot, respect means a lot, what's this win mean to Jermaine Aluminor?
00:25 It means a lot. I've been in the league for seven years now and I've been close to beating them multiple times, but they always find a way to win.
00:31 For us to find a way to win at the end of the game, it means a lot, especially on offense.
00:36 We had moved the ball a lot, but we didn't finish how we wanted to in the defense, which really helped us get this game.
00:43 The finishing game we did, with Zeus just running down the field, and the finishing team taking a knee in Arrowhead,
00:49 any offensive lineman will tell you that it's a dream. It's such a great team.
00:55 It's one of the best teams in the NFL and they've been with the standard for such a long time.
00:59 They're going to get better every single time, so to be able to win the game again, it was dope.
01:04 This team is fighting for Antonio Pierce. It's very evident. I'm not putting words in you guys' mouth, you guys say it publicly and privately.
01:11 Can you talk about what Antonio means to this team and to you?
01:15 I think he embodies what playing like a Raider is. Even though he's not the one playing, he is an embodiment of playing like a Raider.
01:22 Just tough, gritty, violent, aggressive, putting your hand in the dirt, driving up the line of scrimmage,
01:28 keep throwing punches, keep throwing punches. Real gritty in the way the Raiders used to play.
01:35 He's bringing that back, and just that attitude of, "Everyone hates us, we don't care.
01:39 We're going to come to your house and we're going to beat you. How about we have to advance the game?"
01:45 I've been in for three years now, and I think Gordon was getting onto that.
01:49 I loved him as a coach, obviously, and obviously that wasn't really what everyone wanted.
01:55 For AP to come in, and it's a tough situation for anyone, for anyone to come in this situation with this team
02:01 and to get us to play the way we're playing right now, that's hats off to him and Champ.
02:06 Champ is what a Raider GM should be, and AP is what a Raider head coach should be.
02:11 Thank you.
