Speaker 1: It was it was gay won for sports and and
Speaker 1: I thought he called a pretty good game.
Speaker 2: What did you think of the game? Called called a
Speaker 2: great game?
Speaker 3: You know, I love the way that he you know,
Speaker 3: approaches the preparation, Uh, the way that he leads our
Speaker 3: group and ultimately, you know, goes out there and calls
Speaker 3: a flawless game. You know, there's things to clean up
Speaker 3: on our side as players execution wise, but I'm proud
Speaker 3: of the way that we fought.
Speaker 4: Right hook.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man, you know it's something I practice all the time.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to do whatever I can to help help
Speaker 3: our team win games.
Speaker 2: Man, I know how important it is take the take
Speaker 2: the ball away.
Speaker 3: Uh, we always shoot for three takeaways. We got to
Speaker 3: so we need that one extra one going into next week.
Speaker 2: But you know it's first and many when you.
Speaker 4: Say that they called a game, what do you what
Speaker 4: do you mean exactly by that? Are you are you
Speaker 4: kind of guessing along with him and thinking, you know, what,
Speaker 4: what's he gonna call to your health next? Or how
Speaker 4: does that kind of work?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think, uh, you know, we we kind of
Speaker 3: go throughout the week of me and him talking about
Speaker 3: his mindset throughout throughout the game. I mean, it was
Speaker 3: a it was a unique preparation because we didn't know
Speaker 3: exactly how they were gonna come out and attackers. Right,
Speaker 3: we kind of could go back and look at the
Speaker 3: Packers stuff. We try to look at their the Jets
Speaker 3: games last last year, but having you know, Aaron and
Speaker 3: the Jets together, it was gonna be unique combination to
Speaker 3: try to fill it out. So, you know, I just
Speaker 3: think he kept it pretty simple, allowed us to just
Speaker 3: go out and play free and we continue to communicate.
Speaker 2: Throughout the game.
Speaker 3: So it was it was just good to kind of
Speaker 3: get that first one on our belt.
Speaker 1: Mason and Camp. But I mean you did a sense
Speaker 1: of his physicality and did you expect you having forty.
Speaker 2: Seven yards, right, I mean you expect like that was possible.
Speaker 3: When he feels in Christian I mean, I know it
Speaker 3: sounds silly, but I I truly do.
Speaker 2: Expect that of him. Uh, you know, I I love.
Speaker 3: The fact that that Jordan he trained here this offseason, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, chose to train here with you know, me
Speaker 3: and some of the other linebackers playing in Curtis and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, we compete here. You know, even in the
Speaker 3: off season, I saw him with a different mindset that
Speaker 3: you know, he was gonna be ready for his moment
Speaker 3: when it did come. All training camp, he got a
Speaker 3: lot of reps obviously with Christian out and you know
Speaker 3: you mentioned it it. Even though I'm not tackling to
Speaker 3: the ground, I can still feel the physicality and seeing
Speaker 3: it throughout the preseason. He was ready for his moment,
Speaker 3: and I'm so happy for him and and his you know,
Speaker 3: being able to continue to grow in the system.
Speaker 2: Defense end of last year seemed like a lot of success.
Speaker 2: Where do you think help to get that? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it starts with execution.
Speaker 3: We all got to obviously be on our on our assignment,
Speaker 3: on our job, and then it has it goes hand
Speaker 3: in hand with the style of play. Honestly, you know,
Speaker 3: I think will separate defenses in this league. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of rules to protect offensive players, but at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, if you want to separate yourself
Speaker 3: as a defense, you gotta play with a certain physicality
Speaker 3: and I feel like we did that from the from
Speaker 3: the first snap all the way through the game. There's
Speaker 3: some things to clean up, some mistackles, but uh, ultimately
Speaker 3: I think we did a good job.
Speaker 1: Marker and Collins were really good against some run. I
Speaker 1: thought in this game, what did you think of played
Speaker 1: behind that duo tonight?
Speaker 2: It felt good.
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta watch the tape, but you know,
Speaker 3: it felt it felt it felt right out there for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying anything to you after this time.
Speaker 3: After this game, uh yeah, but I'll I'll keep it
Speaker 3: between me and him this time, similar similar message.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did he look like Aaron Rodgers do you?
Speaker 3: Or even a year off?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I mean he still got that that savvy vet to him,
Speaker 3: you know, getting us off sides and throwing a touchdown
Speaker 3: down the field classic Aaron. You know, obviously they got
Speaker 3: some things to clean up, but ultimately, you know, at
Speaker 3: least they got him real.
Speaker 1: Not that you guys are in need of a confidence, Bruce,
Speaker 1: but with so much going on this offseason, what does
Speaker 1: a win like this kind of do for you guys
Speaker 1: moving forward?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean you always have an idea of, you know,
Speaker 3: the type of team you got heading into a year,
Speaker 3: but you never really know until you go out there
Speaker 3: week one and you see it, right, and so to
Speaker 3: be able to put a performance of a true team
Speaker 3: effort offensively, defensively, kicking game you know, it obviously builds
Speaker 3: confidence going into into Week two, all.
Speaker 4: The star power and offense, but a lot of those
Speaker 4: guys going on the field during the off season, did
Speaker 4: the defense kind of put it upon yourselves to kind
Speaker 4: of raise the level and almost to the point like
Speaker 4: you don't know how the points the offense is gonna score,
Speaker 4: but you guys gotta.
Speaker 2: Take your business.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think regardless of you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's a like you mentioned as a star studded offense.
Speaker 2: You got all pros at every level.
Speaker 3: But regardless, you know, I feel like defensively, it's our
Speaker 3: job to to go out and win games defensively, you know,
Speaker 3: regardless of what we got on offense. I think if
Speaker 3: we keep that mindset on top of having a dominant offense,
Speaker 3: that's when you really overwhelm teams.
Speaker 2: That okay, thanks God. S
