Shalik, thanks for joining us here. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm happy to happy to be with you guys. 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: We were talking just a few minutes ago how this 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: game seemed like it was over early tonight. Do you 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: get that same sense early on in the game that 8 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: you are in control of this one? Early on? I 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: think for the most part, we just try to finish 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: it out. We try to keep our mind steady. Always 11 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: played at the game of zero zero and I'll keep 12 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: competing because once again, they are a profession teams, so 13 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared for anything and play a 14 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: game fully cool. He Shuli. You guys had a little 15 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: bit of an extended break eleven days between the games. 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: How did you guys stay so sharp and were you 17 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: able just to come out and play right off the bat, 18 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: pickup right where you left off. I think it was 19 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: just you know, staying focused through the break, you know, 20 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: understanding it was given all body arresting out our minds 21 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: that we I think a lot of guys came in 22 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: and studied up to make sure we're prepared to compete today, 23 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: and so that helps us a lot, you know, our 24 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: coach to allow us to give that time to rest 25 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: our body, but we also use the time to make 26 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: sure we're standing up on the competition and uh, we're 27 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: being prepared, Shelley. These game plans that you guys are 28 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: putting together every week seemed like they're really baffling the opponent. Tonight. 29 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: Sam Donald actually was caught on the sideline on the 30 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: broadcast as saying that he's seeing ghosts. What are you 31 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: guys doing? That is has been has been so you know, 32 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: so effective and getting pressure and finding ways to free 33 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: up blitzers, and you've done it now seven straight games 34 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: and no one seems to be able to stop it. 35 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: I think just playing with one another, you know, being focused, 36 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: understanding the eleven guys out do on defense and doing 37 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: your job for the most part, you know, so that 38 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. That's something that coach be always 39 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: harps on, and I think that we just focused on that. 40 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: That's what allows to be successful or understanding your job, 41 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: doing your job, and they're going out think compeating at 42 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: a high level, Shelley is there any chance that he 43 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: literally thought he saw a ghost. Do you think Met 44 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: Life Stadium could be haunted? Man? I would think you 45 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: I talked to him about that. Man, you know I 46 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: can do a job. That's about it. Sure, Like you 47 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: guys are playing so well right now. I mean, just 48 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: how fun is it for you as a player just 49 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, not only go out 50 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: there and contribute yourself, but just be part of a 51 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: unit where so many guys are stepping in and being 52 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: able to contribute at a high level. I think the 53 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: game of football is fun. You know, we enjoyed this 54 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: game so much. You put so many hours in there 55 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: so to be able to come out and compete and 56 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: execute on Sundays occasional other days once in a lifetime 57 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Mondays is always special. You know. Just being out there 58 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: with a great group of guys and competing at a 59 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: high level always spos amazing. You know, between the sacks 60 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: and the and the turnovers created, it seems like it's 61 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: a different guy, you know, every every game, and you 62 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: know throughout this game it was a different guy with 63 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: all the different takeaways. Do you guys almost uh, you 64 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: have competitions amongst yourselves to say you know, hey, I'm 65 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: going to get the pressure of this one and we're 66 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: going to force another bad throw and there's it just 67 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: sort of feed off each other the way the turnovers 68 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: have been happening. Hey, I guess just when your opportunity arises, 69 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: may you capitalize on that. I think that's the biggest 70 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: things going out there, capitalized an opportunity. Uh, Like I said, 71 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: just finishing the game through.
