00:00 >> I mean, obviously, feels better when you get on a little roll like this,
00:05 but there's always been a tremendous amount of belief in this locker room.
00:08 And we never really been flinching in here because we know who we are at
00:12 the end of the day.
00:14 >> How much you pay attention to what other teams are doing this time of year,
00:16 but every team in the division won again this weekend.
00:20 When you look around and
00:21 see how strong this division has been so far this year, what do you think?
00:25 >> Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I know myself and I can speak for
00:28 a lot of guys in here when I say I could care less.
00:30 We got everything in front of us and everything's in our control.
00:35 We take care of who we're supposed to take care of,
00:38 we're gonna like where we're at at the end of the season.
00:40 Geez, that tore me up.
00:41 >> [LAUGH] >> Was this the kind of football you
00:47 expected this team to be playing when you signed?
00:51 >> Yeah, absolutely, and that's a huge reason why I wanted to be here.
00:54 I think we're a team that, like I said, when everything's clicking,
00:57 we're gonna like where we're at.
00:59 We got a lot of talent from top to bottom, defense, offense, special teams.
01:03 So I came here to play big time football and that's what we're doing.
01:07 >> I've seen some weeks where Mondays haven't been fun,
01:09 then you have a day like this.
01:11 What's impressed you most about Zach Taylor's leadership, Nick?
01:14 >> He just doesn't flinch and that permeates throughout the locker room.
01:18 I mean, he wasn't really, obviously we weren't in a position we wanted to be,
01:22 but his mentality didn't change.
01:24 He didn't sit us down and give us long speeches about this, that, and the other.
01:30 It's like we got our identity, we know who we are, and when it's clicking,
01:34 it's gonna turn out right for us.
01:36 And the main message was don't pay attention to the outside noise,
01:39 whether we're rolling or we were having a little bit of trouble.
01:43 >> The interception in San Francisco led to a throw up dance.
01:48 Cam gets the interception last night, there's a dance in the end zone.
01:50 Were you part of that?
01:52 >> Part of the brainstorming?
01:53 No, but we had a couple dances up for an interception.
01:58 And honestly, I know at least half of us thought we were gonna do another dance.
02:03 I guess we're saving it for next week.
02:04 But we eventually got on the same page when Cam got in the end zone.
02:08 >> Which dance was that?
02:11 >> Hey, Cheeto, what was the dance we did yesterday?
02:13 >> [INAUDIBLE]
02:16 >> What's the song?
02:17 >> Snap Your Fingers.
02:18 >> Snap Your Fingers, yeah, something like that, I can't remember.
02:20 But it was a good little move.
02:23 >> Any hints what's coming next week?
02:25 >> No hints.
02:26 >> No hints.
02:26 >> Yeah, yeah, can't do it.
02:28 >> Thanks.
02:29 >> Yeah, no problem.
02:29 >> I appreciate it.
02:30 >> You're welcome.
