What happens on the Francisco are on the U. You don't do you you know because. You do get -- on the point blank and interview experts who if you can't do your job here. We don't have been wrong for Communist one point. -- want debut Warner is a tough physical football team. Com and we've been striving to have to -- either of -- which rock star to be either tough physical football team because in -- in the very. The running game is it is all their best foot. If you can stop in the if you can run the ball defensively offensively. UB very successful obviously I'm and we we sit. We sit up our communal. Our mold of the going to every game that's normal to stop the run obtain are all things won't be able to run the ball so we we never wanna be. One dimensional all foods and we we we we won't be won the -- of the Phoenix because we can sit there on the run. On now we get our passages in the game now we can we can mix of a real big Thompson's oppression can do what do we wanna do.

Don't you're wrong or are we going and establish the sense I think it's a bunch of guys that -- are from the cars. Where we can step in and take and get the torching and -- passing on to a so. I think collectively we have to come together as a team we can't depend on one person. 26 something that'll do some. -- is more of a team effort now I think everybody have to be click in. -- all sooners. I think you're right after being -- That when they step on the field zero -- we lieutenants who wears a leader I don't care if you won't. You just want deceptive because. We wanna meet I mean. Like you said. -- and has known the guys that we've involves they've been through so much to do so much for his organization. But it remains to please. Two to win -- championship games to win some pupils they'd be made those plays they've been here they've been through the terror was seasons the BBB deal it. -- so now that they've grown where do we stand I mean and ever barbecue you know -- the question what -- the same term. I know their. It's going to all of my fifth premiere -- that we we all work stumpel and I just wanna lower -- step -- and be within. And be able to -- a -- their role and I think we."

So -- I understand -- one -- there. I had cardinals sit down and base of the say to myself office. Control which you can control and -- football now going for I don't know. Now what's gonna happen numerals but I can only control where -- play football so. Whatever happens happens thus -- have agents. My agent. Hear him -- their situation and there's a question I mean we will be a continent where. -- their pain we will work -- sort of business I mean. Who knows win. I can't tell you win. Put our noble size is on trial on their best and to make something -- so. Long as long as we have very on the stand down from -- farm with fare so well but -- both working we we we we will continue to work. On the try to get something done and -- if nothing is -- com. We just continued I mean let me at the end of the day. -- season is in you know we don't everything your place on the we just wear them. Go from where their point is an -- to see what commitment or some were right now think. We we knew we all on one page in and we all want the same thing is I wanna stick around here they want me here. And I think we working towards that so. There's this special thing -- can -- and ominous there could just controller control. An expert football so and that's where would."

" There are those who've said Ron Borges wrote today's herald that. That you should use the leverage while you got it you should walk out of there and say I'm not playing against the we get a contract done. There are some who said you should have held out and not shown up at the mandatory. Events over the summer like training camp why did you handle it the way you did."

But in the days and it was my decision on the was best for me. And that's -- You know whatever from there there's. That's our look so. Here's a month and -- years."
