00:00Stephen Jones joins us now here on 105.3 The Fan and a good afternoon sir, how the heck

00:19are you?

00:20Hey, we're doing good guys, happy new year to you.

00:24Happy new year to you as well and it's a good time to reflect on everything that's happened

00:28here over the last four months.

00:31Is it a misplaced question to say are you proud of how this team has managed to fight

00:35and have a chance to win an eighth game coming up this weekend considering how much adversity

00:39has been there?

00:40Yeah, we've obviously had some challenges and hats off to Coach McCarthy and his leadership

00:48and them and Bones and the whole staff to keep these guys focused and playing hard.

00:54Obviously last week was a big disappointment but when you're playing a little short-handed

00:59like we are with our injury situation you just can't afford to have the turnovers that

01:04we had and against one of the best teams in football at their place it's going to be hard

01:10to come up with a win but yes, I think our guys have battled each and every week and

01:17hats off to them and defensively we were learning a new scheme the first part of the year.

01:23I think Mike was learning our personnel and vice versa the personnel was figuring out

01:28what Mike wanted out of them so yeah, at the end of the day our guys have competed hard.

01:35I know our goal is to win the game next week and Sunday against the Commanders and they've

01:43had a great year under Coach Quinn.

01:44You know what we think of him and they're having a great season but I also like our

01:49chances and think our guys will go out there and battle and give themselves every opportunity

01:55to win a football game.
