1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: How's the defense feeling after that performance against Dallas Cowboys

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: this last week?

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was definitely great.

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, you know, put up a pretty good performance

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 3: versus a really good offense. You facing another really good

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: offense this week, so you know, definitely some things we

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 3: needed to clean up. But yeah, we're looking forward to

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 3: the challenge.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: You guys feel like going into that last game with

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: all the national hype around the Dallas Cowboys and how

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: great that offense was, is that a little bit of

12
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: a measuring stick kind of moment for the defense to

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: be able to kind of contain a lot of that explosiveness.

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we know, when we you know, execute

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: and when all loving guys are doing their job, you

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: know we can you know, play with anybody and you know.

17
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: Be the best of the league.

18
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: But yeah, obviously, you know, we just got to you know,

19
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: prove it every single play and every single day.

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just got to keep on working.

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: What are some things that you noticed about this Texans

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: offense have kind of been a little more up and down,

23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and certainly that offensive line has had their moments. What

24
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: are you noticing on film with them?

25
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

26
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: No, I mean they obviously you know, CJ. He's a

27
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: you know, a top quarterback in this league and has

28
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: proved it for three years now, and you know, they've

29
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: invested a lot and weapons around him obviously. You know,

30
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: they got some really good receivers and you know tight

31
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: ends that can block and uh, you know, catch and

32
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: you know the old line they uh, you know, they

33
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: invested a lot in it this offseason.

34
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be, uh be a challenge, but we're

35
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: excited for it.

36
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Vance talked to this week a little bit about how

37
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: he's sort of challenging the defensive front, the pass rush,

38
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: especially without Pat in this game, challenging you guys. Hey,

39
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: you guys gonna have to find a way to get home.

40
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: You as a team have to sort of sub out

41
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: the fact that Pattison on the field.

42
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: You feel that way, Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know

43
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: Pat is uh, you know, the best in the league

44
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: of what he does, and you know, it's really kind

45
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: of one of only you know, a couple of guys

46
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: in this league that could take away half the field.

47
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: But you know, you saw in the second half of

48
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: that Dallas game. You know, we're really deep at that position,

49
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: and you know, this whole defense understands kind of what's

50
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: that task, and you know, hopefully we just you know,

51
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: get a repeat of it.

52
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Of course, the past rush has been really good. How

53
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: do you feel like the run defense has come along

54
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: so far about halfway through the season.

55
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, we're doing a good job

56
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: with the run.

57
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: You know, obviously a couple of things we want to

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: clean up still, but you know, I think, uh, you know,

59
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: we've been doing pretty good against it. You know, a

60
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: couple more explosives throughout the year than we wanted to.

61
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: But you know, if we limit the explosives and you know,

62
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: just give us a chance to you know, play well

63
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 3: on third down in red zone, then you know, we'll

64
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: be in some good football games.

65
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel like this team has been able

66
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: to sustain this run so far on the wind strength

67
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: that you guys have. Is this a lot of you

68
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: guys just staying focused on the moment, not scoreboard watching

69
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, because it seems like it would

70
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: be kind of easy under the circumstances to maybe start

71
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: thinking about how great this team eventually could be rather

72
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: than staying.

73
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: In the moment.

74
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's still early. I mean we're not

75
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: even halfway through the season. So for us, you know,

76
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: it's just about, you know, just keep on getting better.

77
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, guys have a really good

78
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: attitude and come in every day and realize, you know,

79
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: how much better we can be.

80
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: So it's been a really good group to work with. Thanks.

81
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate
