What were the keys to the team’s victory this week?
Well, you know, I think it was a combination of our secret strategy of actually catching the ball and, you know, moving it forward – groundbreaking stuff, really. But in all seriousness, our offense clicked like a well-oiled machine, and our defense? They were like a wall, a really big, unmovable wall. And let's not forget the fans – I think the other team was just overwhelmed by the sheer volume. It's like they say, 'If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen,' and we were cooking up something fierce!
Can you summarize what it was like playing against the Giants last week?
Oh, the Giants game? That was like going on a roller coaster, except the safety harness is a bit dodgy. You're thrilled, you're scared, and then it's over, and you're not sure if you want to do it again. They're a tough team, no doubt. But you know, we learned a lot. Like how not to drop the ball – literally and figuratively – in crucial moments. It was a learning experience, like every time I try to use my smartphone.
What kind of player do you see when you look at Jalen Hurts?
Preparing for Jalen Hurts? It's like preparing for a chess match, but the pieces can run a 4.4 40-yard dash. He's a phenomenal athlete. We spent hours watching tapes, and I think I saw him outrun the camera a couple of times. Our strategy was simple: keep him in the pocket, and if he escapes, well, plan B was to hope he'd trip over his own shoelaces. Spoiler: he didn't.
Can you describe how important it was to get a win at home this week?
It was like finally getting Wi-Fi after a week of no internet. The fans deserved this win. They bring so much energy; I think we could power the stadium lights with it. Winning at home isn't just about the score; it's about giving back to those who scream themselves hoarse for us every game. Plus, it's always nice not to have to ride the bus back in complete silence.
Did you scout Cooper DeJean before the draft? If so, what stood out about him?
Cooper DeJean, ah yes, the rare white cornerback unicorn of the draft. We did scout him, and what stood out was his speed. I mean, on tape, he seemed fast, but in person, it's like he's been shot out of a cannon. We thought maybe he was being fast-forwarded. He's got this uncanny ability to close gaps like he's got a personal vendetta against open space. A real talent, that one.
Can you describe kind of the energy or the mood and the vibe in the building now coming in the home stretch?
It's like walking into a room where everyone's just had three espressos. There's this buzz, this excitement. We're in the home stretch, and everyone can feel it. It's like the night before Christmas, but instead of presents, you get a bunch of really big guys tackling each other. The vibe is confident, optimistic, and a little bit like we've all had too much sugar. We're ready to take on what's next, and let me tell you, it's going to be one heck of a ride.
