Speaker 1: now made a big difference in this game today. Dietrich
Speaker 1: Wise joins us here on the hotline. Dietrick nice win
Speaker 1: there today. How are you feeling after this one? Because
Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm very excited. Hey, Tetris did it? Did
Speaker 1: it surprise you at all? That it seemed like they
Speaker 1: came out and wanted to maybe throw a little bit more,
Speaker 1: maybe anticipating you guys we're gonna gear up to stop
Speaker 1: Chubb in the running game. That did that surprise you? Guys?
Speaker 1: Are we kind of prepared that they might come out
Speaker 1: and try to throw the ball a little bit more?
Speaker 1: You know, we were very prepared. They have a great
Speaker 1: run games with Hunt and Chubbs, and we knew if
Speaker 1: we were able to stop them then to always go
Speaker 1: to his favorite receiveson which is cool and uh that's
Speaker 1: something when that was our main goal, just stopping the run,
Speaker 1: making the one dimensional and once you put the ball
Speaker 1: in and Jacoba's hands, then then the next game plan
Speaker 1: was after the past. Okay, so we know that was
Speaker 1: the game plan. Dietrich. You know, how did you guys
Speaker 1: execute it so well? Because even when they did run Chubb,
Speaker 1: you never you guys never really allowed him to pick
Speaker 1: up much team. Yeah, our coaching staffs to defend and
Speaker 1: cot the job of pret in a good front, uh,
Speaker 1: beating their old lineman, being able to push the old
Speaker 1: line back, making him stop his speed. And if he
Speaker 1: did hit the edge, we had other guys around us
Speaker 1: to to help set an age or uh if you
Speaker 1: wanted to cut back, other guys coming in, and we
Speaker 1: kind of just made him flustered him a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's a really good running back, fantastic running back, but
Speaker 1: he's really do when he's coming downhill and he's not
Speaker 1: moving as like speed, keep moving. Once we stop the seed,
Speaker 1: once we have him tried chang direction, that's when he
Speaker 1: becomes very easy be e tackle. We're joined by Dietrich. Wise, Dietrich,
Speaker 1: you're kind of breaking out this year. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if I don't know if anyone's told you that yet,
Speaker 1: but you're kind of you're kind of busting out this year. Um,
Speaker 1: I have a question about that. That celebration. Was that
Speaker 1: a volleyball celebration? We saw after that? Say, yes, it is.
Speaker 1: When I get push I like to do a little
Speaker 1: volleyball celebrating. It's a little honor to my wife to
Speaker 1: play volleyball. So every time I bet the ball down,
Speaker 1: I give a little bump that very nice teachers. Last week,
Speaker 1: you guys got the shout out this week, you know,
Speaker 1: just just one touchdown. What can you say about just
Speaker 1: the complimentary nature of the defense right now? It seems
Speaker 1: like the pressure is playing well on one snap, the
Speaker 1: secondary's making plays on the ball and getting turnovers. It
Speaker 1: just seems like you guys are all really starting to
Speaker 1: find your stride here after six games. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a It's a fantastic thing to see when we're playing together.
Speaker 1: There's a whole saying that the pass rush and the
Speaker 1: cover should always be married. That means when the pass rushes,
Speaker 1: when the guys a front seven and again to quarterback
Speaker 1: stopped stopping him, stacking him or pressuring him, and the
Speaker 1: balls coming out. Then the the dbs are able to
Speaker 1: either lock the bock the receivers down or capitalize our
Speaker 1: bad roads and get a pick. So just we're just
Speaker 1: playing together and that's something that that we all he
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and I want to say we've been
Speaker 1: doing it, but it's just getting better and better and
Speaker 1: we're kinding more and more in sync every week. Well,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you about the big guys with
Speaker 1: the football in their hands. Carl Davis's got the ball
Speaker 1: and he's an open space. So what did you guys
Speaker 1: see you guys get under the end zone? If we
Speaker 1: addressed this yesterday, we talked about it. He gotta he
Speaker 1: gotta he's doing. He did the same type of job
Speaker 1: picking up all up and running. Uh, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a lot of space for a big guy. But he
Speaker 1: did a wonderful job keeping the ball in his hands
Speaker 1: and uh, you know he had to do a little
Speaker 1: cup move. But hey, you gotta keeping on his on
Speaker 1: his elusiveness as a runner back. D you guys were out.
Speaker 1: We're without Lawrence guy, you wouldn't have known it from
Speaker 1: from the way you guys played. What do you what
Speaker 1: do you have to do to sort of make up
Speaker 1: for his absence in a game like this. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, he's on the sideline and he's doing a
Speaker 1: wonderful job helping us seeing things that we're not able
Speaker 1: to see and help us out comment being a second coach.
Speaker 1: And even though we missed him on the field, Uh,
Speaker 1: he's given it. He's he's given that great insake and
Speaker 1: we have to we have to pretty much cover his
Speaker 1: his ability to stop the run um he's just fantastic
Speaker 1: run stop him And when he was out then it
Speaker 1: kind of made other guys have to step up play.
Speaker 1: I'm playing a little inside more now, Big Sam uh Our,
Speaker 1: rookie's coming in there, Carl dg and a ton of it,
Speaker 1: a little doing a wonderful job on the installs, Christian
Speaker 1: baltmore so. It just it doesn't put pressure, but we
Speaker 1: all just have have to step up and do it
Speaker 1: type the job and he's asking one. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: leave it right there. D trick wise, great game today,
Speaker 1: enjoy the win, enjoy your time in Cleveland. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. You have a great day, all right. Save
