Where do you guys go from here after
0:02
something like this?
0:03
Uh, back to the drawing board, you know,
0:05
just back back to work. Back here
0:06
tomorrow, team run at 10. That's where
0:09
it's where minds are. The game's behind
0:10
us already. Time time to go back and
0:12
work.
0:12
What was was anything go through your
0:14
mind specifically during that first
0:16
quarter when they exploded, taking a
0:18
28-3 lead where it seemed like after you
0:21
guys got the field, everything that
0:22
could go wrong?
0:24
No, you know, it's just where you just
0:25
got to stick together. You know,
0:27
everything tune everything else out.
0:28
just go make plays, do the best we can
0:29
with with what we got.
0:31
Adam,
0:33
Chip, back here, it looked like you and
0:35
Alex were like the last two guys off the
0:37
field, maybe just heading out of here.
0:40
The place is empty by the end. I mean,
0:41
what was what was going through your
0:43
mind as you walked off the field after
0:45
this one with pretty much nobody left?
0:48
Uh, it don't really matter who's in the
0:50
stands. All that matters what we got in
0:51
the locker room. And we were the last
0:52
two offers cuz we uh spent some more
0:54
time talking to Galloway. You know,
0:55
that's the uh the coach that recruited
0:56
us here. So, you know, it's just it's
0:58
good to see a familiar face like that,
0:59
just be able just to talk to him cuz,
1:01
you know, you go from him being your
1:02
coach every day to now we can't talk to
1:04
him because he's coaching somewhere
1:05
else. So, it's against the rules. So,
1:06
you know, it just was good to just be
1:07
able to talk to him and just spend some
1:09
time with him. And, uh, also Miss
1:10
Winslow and Hayes as well. So, that's
1:12
that's all that was.
1:15
Jordan, um, what's the level of unity
1:18
right now in the locker room? Are you
1:20
guys still like all in this together or
1:23
starting to split?
1:24
Nbody's splitting. Everything everything
1:26
we're doing is for each other, you know.
1:27
Um there's nothing else. No matter
1:29
what's going on, no matter what's going
1:30
like we just said in there, it's like we
1:32
know what we're messing up at. We're
1:33
beating ourselves. They didn't beat us.
1:34
We beat ourselves. They were the better
1:36
team today. It is what it is. We got to
1:37
move on and we got to move on together.
1:39
We can't I can't go out there and just
1:41
only play for myself. Nobody can go out
1:42
there and don't play for himself. We got
1:43
to play for each other. That's what
1:44
we're focused on.
1:45
Ask you just about um you were today
1:49
honoring him. What did that say about?
1:52
Uh man, wearing the uh 13 today
1:55
definitely um meant a lot, you know, to
1:57
me. Tyl was uh somebody you aspire to be
2:00
like, somebody you want to grow up to be
2:02
like. He just fought hard and everything
2:03
he did. And just the fact that I had the
2:05
honor to go out here and wear his number
2:07
and just do what I could in his number
2:09
and just being able to like just hug his
2:10
family, just tell his family I love him.
2:12
And um it's definitely uh meant a lot to
2:14
me. And um I wish we would have had a
2:16
better uh outcome, but you know uh
2:19
things happen and um I'm just blessed
2:21
that I was able to go out there and just
2:22
do what I could in his number just
2:23
represent him and his family as good as
2:24
I could.
2:26
Grant.
2:26
Hey uh hey Jordan. So Max got his first
2:29
start today before the game was having
2:31
you guys up. I mean looked like he was
2:32
really into it. What do you have to say
2:33
about him finally getting his chance to
2:35
start since the last time he was
2:37
injured?
2:38
Um it's just God's work. You know he had
2:40
a gruesome injury. Uh not too many
2:42
people come back from that, but uh Max
2:44
is a hard worker. So definitely shows
2:45
the um the hard work that he's put in
2:47
and I'm I'm super happy for him and I
2:49
feel like he did a great job. You know,
2:51
Max came in and took control in a time
2:53
of uncertainty, you know, so just that
2:55
that just shows his dedication to the
2:56
work that he's put in.
2:58
You were also the first one out to see
3:00
Mitch when he was on the field. What did
3:02
it mean to you guys to see him out there
3:04
and standing and and sort of being with
3:06
you guys?
3:07
Uh it meant a lot, man. Um Mitch, uh
3:10
he's been going through a lot, you know,
3:11
that was that was my first time seeing
3:13
him not at his house in a long time, you
3:14
know, and it just felt so good to see
3:16
him there. It just makes you just want
3:17
to play so much harder cuz you know,
3:19
just like he had a great relationship
3:20
with Tylen as well. And um just both of
3:22
those guys are just two people that like
3:24
I wish everybody knew their story just
3:26
because of how they carry themselves in
3:27
a way that they um fought through what
3:29
they're fighting through. Like you see
3:30
Mitch out there like if he didn't have
3:32
the walker, you would have known he
3:33
wasn't in pain. like he he's going
3:34
through a lot and um he still calls on
3:36
me to check on me, make sure I'm good
3:38
when I should be doing that to him. He's
3:40
he's battling for his life. I'm out here
3:41
playing football games and that just
3:43
shows that like everything he does is
3:45
for us and not for himself. He's living
3:46
for us and you know that's that's just
3:48
powerful and that's just somebody that I
3:50
just would do anything to just do
3:52
anything to help him, you know. But love
3:54
Mitch,
3:57
uh, coach talked a lot about execution
3:59
fundamentals, but why do you feel like
4:00
those those haven't been up to you guys
4:02
standards the first five games?
4:04
Uh, to be honest, I don't know why.
4:05
That's just something we got to uh,
4:07
really hone in on. You know, that's
4:08
something that coach stresses, and
4:09
that's just something that we just got
4:10
to get through our heads. Now, that's
4:11
just it's on us. Just go out there and
4:12
do it now. You know, coach has told us
4:14
fundamentals, fundamentals,
4:15
fundamentals. We hear it over and over.
4:16
So, now that's on us to go out there and
4:17
do. And I feel like that's on me as well
4:19
as a captain to really just make sure
4:21
that my guys are just like we're doing
4:23
what coach wants us to do. So that's
4:24
something that I'll also take blame in
4:26
for sure.
4:27
Jordan, how do you balance not letting a
4:29
loss like this linger, but being able to
4:32
learn from things from this game and
4:34
move on?
4:35
Uh for me, I feel like it's all about
4:37
what you do after. You know, after this,
4:39
I'm going to go shower. Uh some of my
4:40
boys from my high school outside waiting
4:42
for me. I was just in there with my mom,
4:43
my dad, my nieces and nephews, my
4:45
brothers. It's just like what you do
4:46
after, you I just got a great support
4:48
system around me and also my teammates.
4:49
You know, we're going after this just
4:50
going to go home. I go home with one of
4:52
my teammates, my roommate. You know, go
4:54
home, spend some time with him. We're
4:55
just going to go back and just just
4:56
relax. Like now the game's over. You got
4:58
to spend the rest of the day. You can't
5:00
just be thinking about football all day.
5:01
And that's when problems come. You got
5:03
at some point you got to detach and just
5:05
release and just let go of everything.
5:06
So, you know, probably go home, probably
5:07
go home, get on your game, to be honest
5:08
with you. Just go home, just relax. Now
5:10
it's just the game's behind us. What
5:12
happened now? We just got to pick that
5:13
up on uh Sunday.
5:15
Jeremiah.
5:16
Yeah. Um, obviously I know you hadn't
5:18
had a chance to look at this one in
5:19
particular, but the losses you guys have
5:21
had, it seems, uh, the offense kind of
5:23
after the first couple quarters, you
5:24
know, stalls out kind of put points on
5:26
the board, just you being out there
5:28
protecting it. Uh, what have you kind of
5:30
noticed as common threads in those games
5:32
that kind of keeps you all from, I
5:33
guess, even keeping up?
5:35
Like I said, ourselves, we're not locked
5:36
in on uh, fundamentals and that starts
5:39
uh, it starts up front, running backs,
5:41
quarterbacks, receivers, all of us.
5:43
We're not we're not all playing on one
5:44
accord. So it's not one person to blame
5:46
up. It's not a coaching problem. It's
5:47
it's everybody. Everything all together.
5:49
Like I said, we're going to win
5:50
together. We're going to lose together.
5:51
We got to be ready to take the blame
5:52
together. So all of us are just ready
5:54
just to put our best foot forward and
5:55
going into the cow.
5:56
Time for Lauren tomorrow. Let's go to
5:57
David and Brian. Jordan, obviously not
6:00
the performances you wanted to put on
6:02
tape to start the season and I know the
6:03
general manager has written a letter to
6:05
owners suggesting it's it's a rebuilding
6:07
season and to show patients. How do you
6:09
looking at where you've been so far and
6:11
what what you still have in front of
6:12
you? How would you define success for
6:14
the rest of the season for you guys?
6:15
Uh to be honest, I'm not worried about
6:17
rebuilding. I'm not here to rebuild. I'm
6:18
here to win football games. You know,
6:19
that's that's why I'm here. That's why I
6:20
stay here. I'm here to win football
6:22
games. So, whatever they're doing with
6:23
the donors are doing with whatever that
6:26
has nothing to do with me. I'm here to
6:27
win football games and that's where my
6:28
100% focus is on, you know, just here to
6:30
win football games and get to that next
6:32
level.
6:33
And last Jordan, obviously against power
6:37
four teams, you guys haven't been that
6:38
great. Do you get a sense that there are
6:39
some changes needed around here? And
6:41
whether it's personnel or play calling
6:43
or or anything like that as as a player
6:45
who's living it day in and day out, you
6:47
feel like there's some things you can
6:48
change to to help.
6:50
I mean, believe it or not, we've only
6:51
been playing together for two months
6:52
now. I mean, not everything is going to
6:54
go perfectly good. You know, like we've
6:56
been playing together for two months.
6:57
Everybody's still got to get Yeah, it's
6:59
game what, game five? But like we're
7:01
still like we've been on the field
7:02
together for two months. Like we're
7:03
going against like teams, you know? It's
7:05
been this a brand new team, brand new
7:06
culture, brand new everything.
7:07
Everybody's still getting used to all
7:09
that. So, I mean, at the end of the day,
7:10
that's not an excuse. We got to go out
7:11
there and just win football games. So,
7:12
you know, that's of course that's
7:13
something that plays into it. But at the
7:14
end of the day, we lost, we lost. No
7:16
matter who we win to, lose to, whatever,
7:18
win or loss, it is what it is.
7:21
Perfect. Got the
