Transcript

00:00What's this week been like for you after having having a game where you had two touchdowns?

00:07We just got to go in this game with good execution and just get this win. That's the biggest thing

00:11Joe said throughout the week. He said he might talk a little bit more. What's he been like throughout this week?

00:17Joe's always been a leader to me. I never really seen him say

00:20Extra like anything out of the ordinary to like get us going but he's pretty much a self for me

00:25I don't I don't know what we said other people personally. Do you guys need anything extra to get going knowing what's on the line?

00:33I don't know. I wouldn't mind it though

00:35Describe your leadership style

00:39I'm more of a lead by example then

00:42Talk, I don't mind talking if I have to but I'm not that's not really something I want to do

00:48Urgency in this locker room. Do I see urgency in the locker room? Yeah, I've been seen it. I always thought we play with it

00:56I'll think of the game is this on Sunday when you guys are rolling for you. We need this way

01:011000%

01:02Basically, how do you feel? We saw you would have been limited yesterday. You said how do I feel?

01:08They just say limited I'm great I'm great

01:14I'm great

01:18Say listen, okay, you guys done anything different after starting on three any meetings or anything like that to try to get everyone together

01:26No, and I'm saying we're not we're not

01:28We're not in a slump to what we get beat 30. Oh, you know I'm saying

01:31It's not like we need to sit down with the whole team and have a meeting

01:34It's it's always we lose by one play or like one possession

01:38So it's just like locking in when we tired and that's what we messing up the most when we tired probably

01:42So what is important late in games and you've been on both sides of it where you guys pull out close wins

01:47You have three losses now by 12 total points. What does it take to win in those close games late?

01:54Just finishing out strong, you know, I'm saying we got to finish out strong in a goal line for the offense and defense

01:59It's got to get us one stop and now we both know we we are both sides could do that

02:04Everyone knows what you can do in terms of explosive plays down the field

02:08But do you feel like you can help the offense more in the red zone?

02:11Like what do you envision your role in the red zone being?

02:13Uh, I mean I can help in the red zone unless I don't get double like a megatron

02:17you know I'm saying but if I'm double like megatron then it's

02:20It's 10 on 9 so like

02:24You know, they might take me out to play then, you know, I might come back. So I'll be

02:28This wouldn't what?

02:32That's like my third time like really seeing it but it's always been Dallas doing it and he came from Dallas so

02:38Surprised that they gave you as much single high as they did Washington when you got close to the one

02:45No teabag so

02:50Turning things around and making the season

02:53We right there, but we're not too far away. We just got to finish in the end and that's the biggest thing right now

02:59Like I said, but we've been losing the last three games by one possession and you know, like three points

03:04So we just got to finish out there stands out about the Panthers defense

03:12They got a couple players over there they got a good D line

03:15But I can't sit here and say they got a lot of crazy players they got a nice cornerback, too

03:21I know Nick Scott's over there now, too. So it'd be a good matchups

03:25Think of a time where Joe really addressed the team like either in the week or the night before a game and any really?

03:33I don't think so

03:34You talked last week about the importance of having your first big game. You had a big game against Washington

03:40Do you feel better going into this game?

03:45I just I just want to make a play for the guys man. Just

03:48Feel like a relief moment for me

03:50You know I'm saying and all this BS that was going on this offseason name prior to the season

03:54I'm just happy that it's over with and I'm finally playing ball and having fun with the guys

03:58That's that's what matters most for me

04:00To your normal self. I feel like I'm having fun again

04:07Well, no

04:10What did it take to snap out of it just a big game a big play don't like a job tomorrow

04:21You said it feels like a job

04:24Yeah, yeah first two games yeah, I did do such a change in style with the way they're using 12

04:34Kind of

04:40Um I thought we always had that in our bag

04:43We just didn't use it as much as we did I feel like this year

04:46We got a night a lot of good tight ends to using those packages

04:49So what we could switch it up every time we use them you think it helps your game. I think it helps the offense

04:54Not my game

04:55So Jamar you you've talked before you just said that you're having fun again

05:00You've talked before about how much you enjoy being out there. What makes football fun to you?

05:06Making plays and winning makes football fun

05:09When you're not winning you three weeks into the season haven't won yet

05:12And a lot of people would say that frustration it said and where do you think the guys?

05:16Are right now as a team in terms of you know frustration?

05:24Nobody likes losing on this team, bro

05:25I don't think nobody wants to sit here and be losers, so that's why we holding ourself with a grudge right now

05:33Obviously after the game the other night said you hate losing you haven't been in a spot like this before

05:39What have you learned about the way you handle it I?

05:43Can't do nothing, but control the things I could control and make a place. That's all I could do

05:49Given Carolina's roots defensively well, what do you expect how do you expect?

05:55More of a quarters team they play everything in a two-high shell and roll on a snap, so we'll see how they do it

06:02It'd be good for all of us, but let's just see how they play

06:05They're probably gonna play two to my side for the t-side so

06:09Still cloud on my side have you gotten used to you said you know you're like the being double if you got used to seeing

06:15that now

06:17You can never get used to seeing double teams, bro, because they always having out of randomness

06:21I'm saying like you might think you're open and next thing you know you got another person behind you

06:27So it's all about how they disguise it
