Speaker 2 (00:19):
Garrett.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Great to catch up with you, man. How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
How you guys doing We're doing good. How'd the off
Weeek treat you?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What did?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
What did you get done?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It was good. I was in California and my brother
in law, which is my wife's oldest brother, had his
wedding in California, so nice. I was a traditional Nigerian wedding,
so I was a party for three days. So but
it was relaxing. I was around family, just got away
and now I'm ready to get back to work.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, very cool. Do you spend at all any time
watching football or is that sort of just kind of Hey,
I'll get to it when I get back.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I watched the Chief in Okay, so I guess that helped.
I guess that helped us a little bit, But that
was about it. My son watches had the games on
on Sunday when we were just playing up the house
getting ready to fly back, so I watched a little
bit of football watch Utah win. So that's always good.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Hey go, Yeah, that was that was That was a
heck of a game that no doubt about that. Hey
for for a guy that plays, I think the longer
you play in the league, maybe the bye week is
even more important. But how different generally speaking, after having
a few days off, actually a week without having to
hit anybody or bang or do what you guys do
on a weekly basis, how different does your body feel
(01:38):
at this point as opposed to prior to the break?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, I mean, I think it helps, you know, dramatically,
especially me, you know, me being a little bit older
than most people. But you know, obviously you know, I
worked out, you know, four times just to keep my
body going. Nothing too crazy, because you don't just want
to sit around and do nothing. You know, that's when
your body gets tightened and stuff, so you want to
move and get the lack of it after that your
body and just relax and you know, make sure you're
(02:03):
eating good and catching up on your sleep. But I
think it's more of a mental break, you know, just
getting your mind from the game and really just focusing
on your family and just really just getting out of
the building and clearing your brain. And you know, obviously,
you know, I go over my notes and watch my games,
you know, over and over again, and just fix the
(02:25):
things that I need to fix on and get ready
to dominate this week.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We like that you're ready to dominate this week. Gary
Bowls joining us here. From a physicality standpoint, is there
a bit of a ramp up period? I know that
people going into the by say, hey, this team is
red hot one h trade games wondering if if the
reset will be ultimately a good thing obviously for the mentals.
But from the physical side of things, does it take
you a little bit of time to sort of get
up to speed or wait here, you get out into
(02:49):
practice and you feel right away.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
No, I think it just depends on I mean, obviously
I don't know what I practiced schedules tomorrow, but I
you know, such things. Been doing this for a lot
of years. I'm way more longer than me. But you know,
I feel like he just puts this in the right position.
You know, obviously we had the whole week off for
a reason because he just wanted to get away and
get our minds cleared. And obviously, you know they have
a game plan to get our bodies back, get our
(03:13):
minds back, so that you know, when Sunday comes around,
we can hit the ground running. But you know, obviously,
I don't think we'll skipped to be I think the
break was exactly what we needed so that we can
go down to six roads to six game stretch and
get to where we belonged. And you know, obviously we
have our goals and dreams right in front of us,
and we just have to go accomplish those things this week,
and it starts on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
All right, last one I have for you, Garrett. Always
great to catch up with you, man, And of course
we're excited about this final stretch as we walk into
the postseason. Coach Bating talked about the penalties, and that
was one of the things you talked about, the turnover margin,
turnover differential in this pressery yesterday, But the penalties is
one of the big ones. I know that this has
come up multiple times this year as a veteran on
the team. Is there something at this point that you
(03:56):
guys can do to curb that in this final stretch
of games.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
No, for sure. I mean, I think that's just have
always been our thing that we need to work on
the most. Obviously, we lead the league and penalties that's
not a good thing to be doing. But we're winning
at the same time, and you know, obviously coach knows
that we're going to be playing in bigger games and
bigger moments on a much bigger stage in front of
the brightest light. So you want to clean those things
up because those can hurt you down the stretch. And
we got to do a better job. We we gotta
(04:22):
play clean football. We got to control the clock. We
got to make sure, you know, we get we keep
our defense off the field and keep them fresh and
score points and you know not let you know, little
pre snap penalties kill us and or holding penalties kill us.
Like we really just got to focus on us on
offense and on defense. You know, they know what they
need to do. Obviously, they're the best in the league.
And you know, except one category, which is the craziest
(04:45):
of all and we just got to focus and play
smart football when we have to. We have to clean
up our penlinties and you know, dominate this turnover margin,
make sure we're not turning over the ball, and make
sure that we are making the other opponents turn over
the ball and us getting a good field position. So,
like I said, we have everything in front of us.
It's totally up to us. Coach Ban can only coach
and call the players. We have to execute them and
(05:07):
and you know VJA and on the deep inside of the ball.
So if we did those things, the sky's the limba
for us. I feel like the guys already. It was
good to see everybody yesterday. Everyone seems fresh and and returnerated.
And you know that's all that you want for this
bye week is to make sure that our bodies are healthy.
Obviously we're going to get some key players back, which
is the key, and get those guys back and hit
this ground run and get ready for a deep playoff run.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
All right, looking forward to Man, We will check in
with you next week. Best to luck out there and
practice and as well as the game on Sunday. Man,
Thank you appreciate Dave.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Sorry we can't play you on Friday night the bummer.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, that was a hell of a hell of a
good game you guys had with Valor. So I'll see
it there on Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay, sounds good. You got to take care of you too.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Great stuff from Garrett. Yeah, one point loss. O.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Man, it's I've had a few of those that sucks
life out of you, like through your nabel honestly.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
In the postseason. Yeah, I mean that's you work at
all time. You're right. It was a great game. It
was a great, great game. Great game there, Garret Bulls,
