Speaker 1: Job of um, you know, running football. Then they got
Speaker 1: a great offensive line and those guys are doing a
Speaker 1: great job, you know, making a way for um for Elliott.
Speaker 1: What are you feeling, you guys are as a run
Speaker 1: defense right now, We've getting better, We were getting better. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean last week, we know that we had to
Speaker 1: step up because of the previous two weeks. That team
Speaker 1: was you know, I was really able to run the
Speaker 1: ball at will on us, and we know that what
Speaker 1: we had to do really just go in the game
Speaker 1: and focus on stopping the run, making the team one dimensional.
Speaker 1: Well that I mean I was there when he was
Speaker 1: a redhot freshman and uh, you know I've seen him
Speaker 1: come in and you know, all he wanted to do
Speaker 1: was you know, play ball and be you know, real good.
Speaker 1: And he was really dedicated to everything that he did,
Speaker 1: and coach Mullin really taught him. I mean, he got
Speaker 1: listened and just look at the position he's in right now.
Speaker 1: You know, he got a chance and and I think
Speaker 1: he's doing a really good job at being a starting
Speaker 1: quarterback for them. Conversation of what they need that's on
Speaker 1: the mind or you know at all. Yeah, I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, I remember like it was yesterday. I told Andy,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know Prescott um the young cats
Speaker 1: said he'll be real good on some day, and uh,
Speaker 1: he just he had the opportunity. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he's doing a real good job leading the team. Most
Speaker 1: about I mean, he's patient in the pocket. Um, he's
Speaker 1: making a lot of a lot of good, good throws
Speaker 1: that I don't think a lot of rookie quarterbacks can make. Um,
Speaker 1: he's not taking a lot of sacks, you know, which
Speaker 1: is good. Um, But um, you know, most most important,
Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of success running the football,
Speaker 1: so he don't have to throw the ball a whole lot.
Speaker 1: But everyone talks about their offensive line. Didn't see killing
Speaker 1: the running game? Go usdack meet to the running game,
Speaker 1: insibility to kick the football and if forever well, I
Speaker 1: mean they've shown some stuff with you know him, you
Speaker 1: know pulling the football a read oftion type stuff. But
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, they I really don't think
Speaker 1: they want him to running football. You know, they want
Speaker 1: to get a ball to you know, to to the
Speaker 1: workhorse twenty one and uh, you know, I think overall
Speaker 1: they're a really good offense and a really good team.
Speaker 1: What's the biggest problem you face facing that offensive line.
Speaker 1: But challenges they presented. I mean they got three first
Speaker 1: rounders on there, you know, three all pros, and they
Speaker 1: lean on those guys. But then again, you know that's
Speaker 1: another challenge for us, you know, as it is every week.
Speaker 1: It's a challenge for us going against you know, you know,
Speaker 1: good offensive lines. You know, cannot defensive line be better
Speaker 1: than the offensive line, and that's something we got to accept,
Speaker 1: that challenging. You know, Gym's going to challenge us, dogs
Speaker 1: going to challenge us, and um, you know, we just
Speaker 1: gotta come out on Sunday night and set the tone earlier.
Speaker 1: The power of these guys to speed the technique, What
Speaker 1: is that that makes them so successful week in a
Speaker 1: week out. I mean collectively, I think they're all on
Speaker 1: the same page. And uh, you know those guys aren't
Speaker 1: playing together for a while now, and you know they're
Speaker 1: all on the same page. You know, nobody has offbeat.
Speaker 1: You know, even with run Larry coming in. You know
Speaker 1: he's played with those guys before, and I don't think
Speaker 1: they're missing a beat right now. Let us against them
Speaker 1: in the past. As you and as the defensive line,
Speaker 1: do you raise the game game a notch to need
Speaker 1: a team, you know, the line like that or just
Speaker 1: get under your skin a little bit to all this
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line of that. Now, not really
Speaker 1: because you know, as I say every week, you know,
Speaker 1: it's not about the other team. It's about us. You know,
Speaker 1: as long as we focus on what we have to
Speaker 1: do and everybody honing in and you know, playing together.
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know, it's really not about them.
Speaker 1: It's about us and how we you know, accept the
Speaker 1: challenge and the way we approach things. It's just gonna
Speaker 1: be the biggest challenge you face as far as a
Speaker 1: multidimensional offense that can throw it and run it. And
Speaker 1: and what do you want to take away? First, what's
Speaker 1: the most supportive thing to take away? The most important
Speaker 1: thing to take away I think is, you know, stop
Speaker 1: the run. We got to do that earlier in the
Speaker 1: game because if they're able to run the ball on
Speaker 1: us and it's gonna be a long game. You know,
Speaker 1: we got to go in and stop the run, create
Speaker 1: negative yardist plays. You know, that's what this defense is about.
Speaker 1: And uh and obviously you know, make them throw the
Speaker 1: ball and they give us a chance to do you
Speaker 1: know what we love and that's um, you know, after
Speaker 1: that rookie quarterback gives the run game. I mean, I
Speaker 1: Dack's been and I think the fewest third and lungs
Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the league. So it's it's been tough.
Speaker 1: Too many of your defenses really te off on them
Speaker 1: as Yeah, I mean looking at the tape, they've not
Speaker 1: been in a lot of third down situations. Um, They've
Speaker 1: been in you know, um with third and long situations,
Speaker 1: and that's where you know, we got to step up
Speaker 1: and embrace the challenge and accept the challenge to get
Speaker 1: them in you know, third and third and six third
Speaker 1: and savin or you know taker for losses on first down. Well,
Speaker 1: we know they got to come back and try to
Speaker 1: make up and throw the ball against this team is
Speaker 1: just the biggest challenge you need go to see thus far.
Speaker 1: Because the offense, I mean basically, like I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I mean, I think they're playing at
Speaker 1: a really high level. Uh. You know, they lost the
Speaker 1: first game of the season, and they came back hungry.
Speaker 1: I mean they playing you know, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: really good ball right now. They had a weak rist
Speaker 1: and they'll be ready to go for this game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a big, big week for us another
Speaker 1: you know, rivalry, and we're excited to go out and play.
Speaker 1: It's been a weird rivalry the last three years. You
Speaker 1: guys have won all three games down there. They've won
Speaker 1: all three a period. You enjoy playing down there, man,
Speaker 1: We enjoy playing everywhere. We gotta get it, you know.
Speaker 1: The last two times in a row we've took an ail,
Speaker 1: and we got to go down there and come out,
Speaker 1: um with a lot of energy, you know, as a team.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know just sucked the art that stayed
Speaker 1: in real quick. How do you think the last one
Speaker 1: guys helped up obviously playing more snaps than he usually
Speaker 1: does without Patty. How do you think he did last
Speaker 1: week against whatever? I think both did a real good job,
Speaker 1: which we expected. Um, he worked worked his butt off
Speaker 1: in practice all week, and um, you know, we had
Speaker 1: a little conversation with both, and I had a little conversation,
Speaker 1: but I said, hey, both just go out and play fast.
Speaker 1: You know, don't worry about mistakes. I said, you make
Speaker 1: a mistake, you know, put it behind you. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the next play. And I think he did just that.
Speaker 1: You know he went out play fast and just did
Speaker 1: what he was coaching. Thank you zero
