Do you want One thing that I have always uh,
one of my mental coaches, Jim Brogan, he always told
me and we always repeat it, the success is in
the struggle. You know, we have to continue to endure.
One of my favorite Bible versus is kind of all

(00:32):
joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the
testing of your faith produces perseverance, and let that perseverance
have its perfect work, so you can be complete lacking nothing.
And I think that this team is just in the season, uh,
where we're enduring certain trials. How I was so proud
of the defense to when they got their turnover. We

(00:54):
just have to find a way to win. And that's
as simple as that. I have to do my role better. Uh.
We all have a part in this, but the coaches
are putting us in a great position to do so collectively.
We just have to find a way and we will.
Which it's we are desperate for a when that's one

(01:17):
of the things I was uh at going in the
locker room. Let's be desperate for a victory. Uh, this
is one of the best teams in the NFL. You know,
we came here on a mission and we didn't. We
didn't complete that mission. So we have to find a
way and whatever it takes, we're willing and able to
do it. How do you feel like, Uh, he's been

(01:40):
doing He's been doing phenomenal. He's been doing phenomenal. He's
an excellent head coach. He's poised, he's confident. We have
to help him out. Myself included that he's an NFL
quarterback and he wants to win. He's doing whatever it

(02:01):
takes to win.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
And it worked.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
We just didn't win. You feel I felt that. I feel.
I feel that our offense is playing very good. I must,
I must. I just have to focus on finishing for us.
We can be better in clutch moments. We're dominant. We
have one of the best office lines in this in
this football league, and I'm grateful for that. And that's

(02:27):
what it starts with. Uh, I just have to do
a better job of finishing for them.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Obviously, what do you see in these moments where.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, I think it's honestly, I think it's more of
a spiritual thing than the x's and those things. And
I think that we have to dig deep, uh and
continue to exhibit a unwavering faith uh and not getting
to an energy of the now or doubts. Uh. I
love Coach's message leave no doubt. And today you know

(03:02):
we left some doubts out there. We we We were
on a three yard line with a chance to put
the freaking nail in the collhone and uh and I
missed Stil Johnson on the on the quick flat like
that is that? That is the details, That is the
execution that is required to win tough NFL games. If
you like that, you.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Your lower got south for your four yard loss on that.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I am so confident in our offense and the coaches
that put in work day in day out, we collectively
will do a better job of executing in those moments. Six. Yeah,
it's so many if ands and buts my pastor the

(03:52):
right to THEO Johnson, if it is four inches to
the left, that's a touchdown. And we've inish the game
play of S three.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
You got three times in practice.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
And I think it's just when you have a good
offense line and you gotta running back, they can they
can throw and you got a receiver that that is
working his butt off and does everything require you give
him a chance. And those are morale boosters. And you
could have seen the sideline man and we were pumped. Uh.
We we were excited, you know, and we need that.
We need that energy moving forward because that's why our

(04:30):
eyes are are. We We're gonna we're gonna take constructive
criticism on this game. What are the pieces that we
can get better? And we're gonna use that energy to
help propel us to find a way to get a win.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
How fun is that your first NFL reception playing for
a few years.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I like to consider myself an athlete. I believe that
I can make plays like that for for this team.
Uh If I need to play tight end, I can.
I do whatever it is that's required for this team
to have success. And I'm grateful that Calf gave me
an opportunity and gonna trusted me. He gave me a chance,
and sometimes that's all you gotta do at the quarterback position.

(05:07):
Give you got a chance, you know. Russell Wilson sent
me a picture of doing the Heisman, uh in like
a little gift. I think it's called a gift. And
I did the Hosmal and we got an end zone.
We just didn't win. Guys, we gotta win.
