 All right guys we have Cordero here we'll start with Michael. Hey CP how are you? What are you doing? So before we get started with questions we would like to give you the PFWA Good Guy Award for the 2021 season for a player who basically their qualities and professional style help us do our jobs and while we don't have a physical award for you at the moment that will come later which you know you can thank COVID a little bit for that. We wanted to give that to you because you were available every week and we're just helpful to us on a day-to-day week-to-week basis and that's something that we as a press corps appreciate it. No I need my award now. I'll get it now if I did it. I appreciate it man. So transition a little bit to football. When you look back at this year now that's done how how do you look at what you've accomplished this year and what you've done? Honestly man I just got to you know thank Coach Smith and Rags and you know Dez kitchens you know put me in a position you know to go out there to make plays you know trusting and believing me you know throughout the whole season and just giving me the opportunity. And when you look I know you you know you have the sign I guess at the end of the game yesterday you had it on your fleets too. Have you really given much thought to what this offseason will look like for you and kind of what it would take for you to come back versus to explore free agency? Honestly man I have it man I let my agent in the GM let them handle their business out man I'm just go back to doing I normally do a man training getting ready for the season man no matter what team I'm on you know I'm giving my all you know if it's here or somewhere else you know I'm just something I do and I'll just go get ready you know just go ready with my so. Do you do you feel like you showed you finally maybe you felt like you showed something different that you finally showed what so many people maybe thought you could do for so long in this league this year? Honestly I don't know man like I said whenever my number is called just I just go up and show up man you know that's just something I do my whole career my number is called and I go out and just just try to make a play for my team. I appreciate everything that's here Cordell thank you sir I appreciate it boss. Do you like? I just hit it one time this time so um Cordell uh congratulations on winning the PFWA good guy war two and um you know just moving forward I know there's some uncertainty but there's got to be a sense of gratification on how things uh or is there a sense of gratification on how uh you know productive you were this season in this offense? Honestly man you know I change all that just to get into the playoffs you know that's that's what we fight for man goes to the playoffs in the Super Bowl that's why we do this what we do man you know people don't want to end a season like we doing right now you know talking to y'all on the Monday so you know like I said here all that I change you know to make it to the playoffs with this team. Yeah and um you know I know uh you know I've been around long enough to know money's important but there are also usually other things uh uh that that players look for when they are you know in your situation uh what are some of those other things that may be important to you and your family? Honestly man I haven't thought about anything like that you know my my mama she actually want me to stay here because it's only three hours away from the house you know they get to come up to all the home games and stuff like that so you know she told me like two days ago she'll love me to be here but you know the the business side man you know a lot of people don't see the the business side of everything so you know like I said I'm gonna just let my agent you know in the gym handle that you know I'm gonna just sit back you know just keep running. All right thank you. Josh. VP thank you we appreciate your help this year. What's it been like playing with Matt Ryan? It's been fun man you know playing with a Hall of Fame quarterback man it's it's awesome man you know and Matt is Matt man and you know that guy he never takes a day off man and hard work and no matter the score no matter what the situation of the game is you know he can go out and play as a each and every week. What separates him maybe beyond that from other guys that you've played with that's allowed him you think to be successful for 14 years now? I mean just the thing he do is work at it man you don't go unnoticed man you know as a older guy as me man I see everything man it might seem like I don't see a lot of stuff but you know I see a lot of it that goes on on the field and you know in the big room you know everywhere you know I like to pay attention to a lot of things and I just love to see the work ethic you know the other players you know it just give me motivation you know to keep running. Frank Darby described Matt seem to be describing Matt it's kind of a hard on the field on the practice field is that accurate or is that just Frank's interpretation because he's a rookie? If Frank said it's true. What is Matt like on the practice field in terms of in the meeting room? Matt is Matt. Even more serious than we see? No man what you see with Matt is what you get no he's not faking it you know he's not doing an extra for media or attention Matt is Matt and he him. Thank you Sabi. Tori. Yeah CP just kind of looking retrospectively the vision that you were sold on to come here how does that compare to kind of what 2020 was 2021 actually was for you? Honestly I don't think anybody thought I had a season I had you know everybody just you know look at me as a special teams player you know and that's what a lot of people probably thought you know and I signed here but like I said I just got to get hats off to those coaches you know to trust him believe in me and also you know signing me you know and you know just put me in a position to make plays you know it wasn't the season we wanted but you know and we had some good and some bad you know and just got to just keep building off the good and just try to move forward to next year. And kind of going off of that I know something that Arthur talked a lot about it talked a lot about it last night was the foundation and laying a foundation in year one here and regardless of kind of what your future is I mean looking back on this year kind of what do you see that foundation being? Oh it'd be good man honestly you know and you'd be a fool to not you know want to play for art you know especially you know this year you know the just the foundation he'd been building and the chemistry he'd been with these guys in this locker room you know on and off the field so you know like me like I said you know I'd be a fool not I want to play with art nature you know that's just just the guy he is man he's a great he's a great coach you know and a great guy so you know we'll see what happens. Appreciate it CP Chris. So CP yesterday Mike posted he posted something about how he essentially was disappointed in the season he had he felt like he let you know all of y'all down have you talked to him about his season or if you haven't what have you thought about him this season? Honestly I didn't see anything he posted man because last night you know I was having a little fun man season only you know me I'm going to enjoy myself but Mike is a great guy man he he's just trying to compare everything to his season last year he had in Carolina man it's hard to you know top you your season when you have a great year you know a lot of people expect you do great things but man it happens man you can't always have a good year a great game anything like that and you know you might just need to you might even take a long vacation to just forget about everything that happened this year it's just enjoy yourself man because football man it it can get to you man a lot of people let football get to you too much but you know it's something we've been doing our whole life man you you can't even get it it's still the kids game man you got to enjoy that moment and don't let it get to you because it can. And what's what's your offseason plan? Man I'm trying to take the kids to Disney then you know enjoy myself and back in the gym man I'm about to be 31 man I can't even take it too much time off and these little young kids out here running around on me all day man so I can't I can't take too much time off and let these look these little players thing they got to help hand with me. And I know you said earlier I think when Tori asked you a question or someone asked you said I don't think anyone expected me to have the the season that I had did you expect that you would have this season? Honestly every year I expect you know to have a great season that's just the mindset I had you know like I said I'm I'm different from a lot of people in this league man you know I go in thinking you know I'm I can do this you know like I say I can do that I can do this like that's just that's just the mindset I bring in you know and I would never let nobody steal my joy you know my time and my happiness man because I love this game so much and you know I'm a joy to every woman of it. Thanks. Charles? You uh you just mentioned your age um you had um six games I believe with double digit carries but but none in the last three and and your four yesterday matched your your season low I'm wondering did the first year being a running back grind affect you physically at all and do you have any other observations on on how that flow went for you this season and does it give you any concerns about your your possible role next year? Honestly man whenever they whenever my name was called I'm gonna go out there and carry the load it doesn't it doesn't matter a week one a week eighteen you know that's just the player I love I love this game and you know no matter how much you know I get thrown in I can handle anything so you had to talk to coach Art you know that you know I didn't know I only have four carries that's kind of it's kind of sick I should have 24 carries but it is what it is man you know I'm not complaining man you know and stuff comes at you man and just gotta know how to handle it you get 24 carries to four carries I'm I'm always just going to my head high just just grinding. But this being your first season with RB beside your name um the physical grind was it any different for you than before? Nah man I'm a different beast out there on that football field man like I see them man and the carries I get it is the physical part it's just coming to territory man I love it. Scott? Hey um I was just curious about like whether it was in the spring or or in training camp or even once the the regular season got got going were you kind of realized hey I have a chance to do something special here or or or that this role will finally allow me to really thrive like was there any moment where like where you realized that that maybe this could be a special season? Honestly not really I mean football is football like I say people let it get to them too much but you know like I said I just got to thank you know the coaches you know just giving me a chance you know because I didn't play any preseason so I couldn't really say camp anything like that I could be special so you know they they trusted me not playing me a preseason game or they gave me opportunity the whole season go out and make plays. Did you have a favorite moment favorite play over the course of the year you had quite a few good ones? Probably the Saints game week eight whatever week that was had a good couple good catches that that week was fine. Thank you. Yes sir. Awesome thanks CP thanks everybody. Appreciate y'all.
