Speaker 1 (00:00):
We head out to the KWA Common Spirit Health Hotline
and bring on starting left tackle Garrett Bowles and of
course Garrett joining us here on k Sports is presented
by Kodiak Building Partners and the Kodiak Foundation, together creating
meaningful change with seventy two to charity. Garrett, Congratulations the
win last time, my friend, How are you appreciate it?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
My guy? Doing good? Man doing good? I can't complain.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, I would think not after last night. It seemed
like you guys sort of hit your stride offensively, got
the running game going, protection was excellent. I thought bow
was sharp, Receivers made plays. What's it like to have
a sort of a complete game like that. What's the
feeling in the locker room after one of those?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It's electric? You know, I think winning in this league
is hard enough, but winning like that and clicking on
all four, all three cylinders is definitely just, you know,
that great feeling and makes you just want to continue
to win more in this league. But you know, not
all games are like that. But last night was a
game that we wanted to make a statement, but especially
in front of everybody, that we're here and we're going
(01:03):
to be We're going to be great the rock and roll,
whatever comes our way, and you know, it just feels
good to definitely get a W and you know, to
build off of this and continue to get back to
where we belong.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What would you say went into the level of confidence
that you guys had in both the running game, as
Dave mentioned there, as well as in the passing game.
It looks like bow Knicks was more settled than he's
been so far this season.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And of course.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Between JK and RJ boy, that looks like a dream.
That's exactly what I think the Broncos drew up when
they brought those two guys in here.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
What we went into the confidence of the offense last night,
no high.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I mean, I think JK just brings that capacity and
you know, that sort of trick attitude that you want
in a running back to be like give me the ball,
I can I can do it. I'm in the fine lance.
He's pacing, he's composed, he's relaxed. You know, when there's
a hole, he hits it. And then we you know,
we got our j which is you know, he's a rookie,
but it doesn't seem a rookie at all. It was
just there's gonna punch you in the mouth and be
(02:02):
a downhill back, you know, catch the ball out of
the backfield. I think we have two you know, dynamic
backs that can they can make habits for the defense.
And it's definitely you know, we're gonna lean on there
more and more as we go down this stretch and
start winning some big time games. You know, like what
Coe says, We're gonna play in bigger games than we
did last night. And you know, seeing that we played
(02:23):
in front of fifteen million people or so, you know,
in a national televised game and being able to compete
like that, it's just it's amazing and just speak falling
for what type of team we have.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, maybe what Sean was referring to starts. Even this
week you go back to Philadelphia play a team that
has won twenty of their last twenty one games in
the NFL. I'm not I'm not even sure I can
remember such a streak, either as a player or as
a broadcaster.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's a that's.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Almost unheard of. But Big Fangil, the defensive coordinator, of course,
you're familiar with him when he was the head coach here.
What what two or three constants. Do you know you're
gonna get from a Fangio coach defense, Well.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They're gonna rest a passer. That's just who he is.
He's gonna die all blitzes. He's gonna disguise his blitzes,
and he's gonna punch you in the mouth. And you know,
his guys play physical. You know, when he was here,
our defense was top five in the league. You know,
he's he's probably one of the best defensive coordinators in
the last ten to fifteen years to coach in the NFL.
I think everybody can say that, But you know, I
(03:26):
have a great relationship with him. I respect the hell
out of him for what he's done for the defense.
You know, he's he's a lot of guys on that
defense that fly around and can punch you in the mouth.
But you know it's up to us. I think we
can run the ball on them. I think, you know,
we're one of the best old Lions to protect Bow
in the National Football League from you know, not just me,
but the rest of the guys across the board. And
(03:47):
you know, you saw it last night. You know we
gave Bow clean pockets. We do that and we sustained
the run. We're a hard team to beat too, so
we just gotta respect what he's gonna bring to us.
They're gonna twist, they're gonna start, they're gonna they're gonna
come out flying, and they're going to let They're going
to get that crowd rolling because that's what their defense does.
And we got to call that crowd and just play
composed tom football and go on there and do what
(04:08):
we need to do to get a W.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I like what Adam Troutman said earlier today to the
media when he was talking about sort of measuring stick games,
and this is one of those when you look at
the schedule back in May and you're playing the defending
World champions, there's a moment there, and of course, you
guys are one game to time that's exactly have to be.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
But now that game is here.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So when you think about measuring stick games, playing against
the defending World champions, this feels like a really cool
opportunity for you guys, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
No, For sure, you know you want to play these
type of games. You you live for moments like this.
You want to play the best the best because that's
what brings the best out of you. And that's who
we are in this locker room is we don't care
who we have to play. We want to play them.
But it's also going to be a huge testament to
us to you know, are we ready to play in
these type of games, Like are we ready to you know,
(04:59):
drap up our helmets and to get after them, or
you know, we go in there and we have a
bad attitude and we get spanked. I mean, that's really
what it is. And you know, I know for a
fact that we're gonna be ready to go. Our coaches
are gonna put us in the right positions, and we
got to execute the way that we know we can execute.
We gotta you know, control the line of scrimmage. We
got to control you know, the turnover ratio. We gotta
(05:21):
win that on defense, and we got to you know,
control that on offense. And we do that and we
hit an all four cylinders, then like what what what
can we not do? You know what I mean? We
have the players to be so special. We have one
of the best d lines in football rushing us all
training camp and it just gets just makes us that
much better. And you know, we rushed for over two
hundred rs last night and that's not a coincidence. That's
(05:43):
just who we are as a team. That's the expectation
that we set and now we just got to go
do it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Love it really quick. One here for you, Garrett, because
you guys can go straight from that game against Philadelphia
out to London. Do you like playing overseas?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Like?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I mean, what is that usually like? As far as
adjustment for you, I.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Knew this question was coming. Well, to be honest, we
have Philadelphia. I mean that's the fore and foremost. I
truly believe. You know, if you look at the stats,
which coach Payton is such a stack keeper, which this
is what I love about him. He knows every situation
that he puts you into, and you can take debate
and you know, the stats of teams going on the road,
(06:26):
playing in a big time game that we're about to
play in and then flying overseas, they're you know, their
lost record is way bigger than the win records and
it's crazy to even think about that. You might not
know about that, but that is true. And I think
it's because teams get the tractors and they don't focus
on what's im for and like Yeah, it's gonna be
fun playing overseas. I haven't done. This will be my
(06:46):
first time and since I had an injury last time
we went over there. But like, we have to stay focused,
we have to we have to be disciplined. We got
to focus on the Eagles, and then after the Eagles,
you know, it's all on the Jets and it's all
London and that's going over there and being team bonding
and all that. But that time we went on a
two game win streak. We won two games in a row,
so we know how to do it. You know. We
(07:08):
went to the Greenbrier last year, you know, beat Tampa
and then went on to beat the Jets, and so
we just got of focused on what's in front of us.
We're coming out a short week. We gotta get healthy,
we gotta get recovered and still punch these guys in
the mouth.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Love it perfectly, said Garrett.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And thanks for not falling for the bait me immediate
person asking you a question I shouldn't ask. I always
appreciate it, man. We will check in with you next week.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
No, I love your question. It's all good.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I appreciate you man. Thanks see you, Garrett.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Love your brother, Yeah, I love you, dude.
