It was just a little jumpstart for 27 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: our defense. You know, we had to get some crucial stops, 28 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: make some crucial players down the line and were oppositive 29 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: chance just back in the game, you know. And and 30 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: that was something that we were just excited about in 31 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: the momentum trying to ship it. But for us, it 32 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: was just an opportunity to showcase what we can do 33 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: and go out there and get a good way to 34 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: get get to all team. 35 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: It seems like you guys played a little bit more 36 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: zone in the second half. Also, some of those sim 37 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: pressures seem to confuse Jalen hurts a bit. Is that 38 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: something that when you're talking about vance Joseph, some of 39 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: the versatility he brings to you guys as a defense 40 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: that he knows that, hey, we can we can adjust 41 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: and we can play this play everybody a completely different 42 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: way in the second half. 43 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: Oh sure, and that's you know how we you know, 44 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: going on the game plan, you got to be as 45 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: a as a as a DC guy that can call 46 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: the game the right way.

You got another mobile quarterback on the 76 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: dock at this week with the New York Jets. What 77 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: are some of the challenges that offense presents. 78 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, no, definitely doesn't. Feel is the amazing quarterback 79 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: I've played in before. A guy that can it is 80 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: truly a dual threat in this league. The guy that 81 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: can throw, make any throw. But at the end of 82 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: the day two you can make any run happen because 83 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: of his leg two.

So for us to just go out there 87 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: and play this team as if we're playing Philadelphia Eagles. Still, 88 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: it's a testament to the team that. 89 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: We got to be so absolutely last one here for you. 90 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: I know you guys never want to lose games, especially 91 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: in the way that you lost them early in the season. 92 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: But is there something to learning how to close games 93 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: the way that you obviously were able to against the 94 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. 95 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: Almost definitely. Yeah, those are some some some crucial losses, 96 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 2: but you know, I think we would like to say 97 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: we learned from those losses, you know, how to be 98 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: smarter down the stretch, making the right decisions, and that's 99 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 2: something that was a part of too, you know, having 100 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: posit penalty in the Chargers game. Those are things that 101 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: we gotta we gotta learn and I'm learning and go 102 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: as well.
