🕵️♂️ Transcript:
all right um man what a win you know that was hell of a job by our players and and our coaches man that was a total team effort we talked about it um you know what we were going to need going in the style that we needed to play with and and uh you know we wanted that defense just cut it Loose uh just go play Man effort finish um and and man they did that you know God they did that uh it’s hell of a job by ageg and and those guys just laid it on the line man call them the northern Savages they just roll right in the door man and they’re in the game um it’s a hell of a job and then our offense you know we knew they were going to need to carry the load you know you need to carry a little bit more of the the backpacks and such and uh and man we did that you know they did that stepped up in a big way and it was a number of guys really made plays for us across the board you know and uh it took everybody we had on offense and uh you know golf had a another big game TP uh was big um you know leor made some big plays for it so you know look you can go down the line but man I was proud of him and uh you know I just love the fact we just find a way man and and um you feel like the narrative you know the narrative going in man we weren’t buying any of the stuff about where we were at and we no excuses and our guys knew where we were at we don’t need to talk about being tough we don’t need to talk about being resilient we live it and it’s what we are and uh man we just proved it again proud of our guys I think 99.9% was that first down that way I just you know I felt like um I just felt like we needed to end it on offense you know and I didn’t mind want to give that ball back and I believed we we could get that I believe we could convert you know and I trusted that old lion I trusted David and uh and they came through for us since a hell of a call by Ben you know it just um I knew how I wanted to play this game the team knew it and and everything in me told me that let’s let’s finish this and so we did being able to get that he’s an athlete he got that thing handed off David did the rest it was great was there any were there any um questions in your mind after you failed to get the fourth down earlier in the third quarter reques tration none and it look I told the guys know players new coaches knew listen this is don’t ride the wave you know we could be up two scores we could be down two scores and but just because we’re one or the other we got to play our style of game going in what we felt like we need to do what I felt like we we needed to do and so that meant the risk was there and you know and you fell in negative territory you got you know you’re trying to hold them to a field goal um but I knew uh that was that was how I wanted to play that team with where we were at Dan you have won so many different ways this season the way you just won this one with so many guys injured you just said no excuses how do you describe this one in season I told the team this will be one of those you never forget still in golf uh pregame I said man you played all these games you had this long career um you know and I’m sure there’s some he’s probably you don’t remember everything when you’ve played as long as he but I said you will never forget this one you will never forget this game and I think a lot of it is just that what we’ve had to overcome uh the hand we were dealt and I just love the fact our guys don’t make excuses man they just find a way and uh and everybody in that on this team believed we were going to win that game and we were going to find a way and uh and we just we did it again we did it again guys did it having to deal with what you deal with with your defensive players did you know going in that you would go on fourth down more than you ever have every chance you get just so you can possess the ball more well I yeah I knew that if if we needed to do that I was prepared to do that you’re hoping you don’t get into them you just you don’t have to get into fourth you’re convert on third if it comes to that um but we were prepared we were prepared your conviction in those moments like you’ve never wavered from this aggressiveness no matter where this team has been uh well look when you’re when you’re in it uh with these guys and you’ve been around them long enough and you know I’ve been around Ben I’ve been around golf been around Frank and Su and Saint and you know Montgomery now um and Gibbs and now J Mo’s been here going you know you just lorta man there’s been enough time on task um with those guys Graham that you just I just I felt good I feel good and I felt like we’d find a way and you’d love to say if you’re if you’re going to do that you’re going to convert every one of them but that’s not the reality it doesn’t always work that way and so you know there’s going to be you’re you’re taking a high level of risk you know there is risk with it but I felt like with our guys it wouldn’t be as big of a risk as it may appear to be your thoughts on your thoughts on qualifying for the playoffs this early the progress that that represents when you came in to where we are now it’s first week in December you already in the playoffs well and I didn’t even I just found that out actually uh and I didn’t even realize that um you know listen it’s good um it’s good but it’s like man we got four left and and we want to get of course we want it in we want in a different way you know we we want to go in on our own terms and we want to find a way to get this one seed um and that’s that’s the priority you know certainly you got to win the division and then you get this one seed and those are we took a step closer to to winning this Division and and doing what I just mentioned so um yeah listen it’s great uh we’re in the playoffs I wish I’d have told the team I didn’t tell them I had no idea uh but but honestly I think I think they know you know I I think they feel like I feel I really believe that and it’s like yeah I think everybody be like okay that’s great we’d get the old golf clap but then it we we know what we want to do and we we talked about this really even after last year we talked about in the spring talking about in training camp we know what our goals are uh huge what a great addition he’s been and he just continues to make plays for us in the Run game and the pass game stepped up big here uh man we talk about catching and knifing today man catch uh turn and run catch it tuck it turn and run do what if you can only get five you got to get a six if you can only get a seven you got to get us eight and man I mean he did that multiple times and then comes up with the two big touchdowns for us uh he’s been an unbelievable addition man what a stud you say you knew how you want to play this game and the team knew it can you can you elaborate on that because how do you convey the leaning on the offense without making it seem like injuries are going to be uh I think you just you you tell them the way you want to play the game you know and and defensively uh we played our strengths and what are our strengths man AG did a hell of a job trim the package down to where these guys can come in and play and it’s like it’s not like we got guys that have’ never played ball I mean you know Quan Alexander’s played football in this league and um Jamal Adams has played football in this league you know and we brought in the other guys that are fiveyear guys uh you know miles uh and Jonah and so um and then Muhammad’s been here and so we just we man we wanted to trim it back to where those guys could play fast and that was really stipulate just cut it Loose man it’s not going to be perfect it doesn’t need to be perfect and so with that any burden we can take off you guys where you can just cut it loose and we knew there may be some errors but I just want to turn on the tape and know the effort and the Finish is there and we’re going after the football find a way to get a takeaway we got a takeaway it was huge man it was huge Colton Davis big big big punch out there and and then will you know we we’ll Shuffle the load a little bit to the offense and special teams if need be some of the toughest games You’ had this season have been against divisional opponents just kind of speaking on that just this division this this season our division is is damn good I mean it’s really good it’s the best division in football in my opinion um you know I mean we we got we got top tier uh Talent we got top tier coaching and players and uh the whole deal the competition is just uh you know it’s um it’s really Elite um and so I think that’s just another reason reason why you got to do whatever it takes to win this division man because if you do and you’re able to play at home man it’s going to go a long way with the teams that that we have cuz I I think the team we just played Minnesota our you know I think we can all make some noise and this uh this game was chippy from jump what do you tell your team going into a game like this about keeping that aggression but making sure they kind of find that line yeah just keep your head be disciplined I mean it’s really as simple as that our guys know you know I thought they did a hell of a job our guys did a hell of a job um you know uh certainly we’re not going to take anything from anybody but uh but we’re smart enough to know that man we we can’t have you know personal fouls and things like that so you just tell them that and they understand that they really do um you know they handled it well
