1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Hey, Leonard, that sack, you guy, I think you were

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: being double teamed and choked and still get you still

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback there. I mean, is finishing plays now,

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I think you have a team high five sacks. Is

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: finishing like you are this year, refreshing and rewarding with

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, what your goals were coming into the season.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, definitely it's a you know, uh, you know,

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: it's not about money from me, It's not about anything

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: like that. I think about this game and my love

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: for the game. It's more about respect and uh, you know,

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: just proven what I am and gaining respect from my

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: peers and uh and uh, you know, I think it's

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: just coming together at the same time. It's just like

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: I have, like a lot of guys on the defensive

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: thank for you know, like our secondary plays lights out.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: It helps me, you know, get to the quarterback sometimes

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: when they make them hold the ball, and uh, you know,

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: just overall our defensive playing pretty well and it helps

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: me flourish. You think your game's not respected enough. I

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that. I just you know, there's obviously been

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff out there in the media, uh,

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: in a negative outlook, and uh, you know, from my perspective,

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I've always known what I am. I

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: feel like I I've proven that I can get to

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and I think now it's just uh, you know,

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: being able to take them down when I get there,

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's important. And last thing for

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: me is it is it very real to you and

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: to the guys in the room that even though you're

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: only two and seven, that you're one went away from

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: walking into your by as a real contender to win

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: this division. I mean, realistically, we're a few points away

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: from having a winning record. I mean, you know, like

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: you said, I think our our record doesn't show the

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: type of talent and and team that we actually do have.

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: I think Coach Judge turned this place around and is

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: doing a great job. Um you know. And I've also

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: been on teams where we've had one win, uh you

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: know record by now, and and you could feel the

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: energy of the team start to drop. Guys are not

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: locked in as much and stuff like that, and uh,

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: I felt that happened hasn't happened once um here, And

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: I think it's because we're in these tight games. Um,

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: We're in these really tight games with with playoff teams,

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, The Stillers are undefeated, like

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, like a bunch of teams where we've been

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: in tight games. And I think that's the reason why

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: no one's hanging their head down and giving up, because

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're right there, and I think that if

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: we just keep working hard, I feel like we're gonna

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: get over the hump. Thanks for our staples. Hey, hey,

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: leoh said we actually saw it on TV a little

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: bit that at one point in the fourth quarter when

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: when you guys are on the sideline, Joe Judge kind

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: of came over, hawd you guys called up a little

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: bit and challenge you to close this game out as

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: a defense, I'll just do it once with Jabro's interception,

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: but then with Logan's interception. How how big of a

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: change was it for this unit that obviously has been

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: on me on the other end of this uh several

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: times this year. I mean, I think those guys came

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: up big time. Um, you know, we keep getting in

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: these close games. Hopefully one day we're not taking into

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the last two minutes of the game one day and

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: we're just able to close it out before we get

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: to that point. But um, you know, this defense is

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. I think everyone believes in each other, and

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: so I think when when we were challenged by coach Judge,

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, we took it in a positive way. We

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, let's do it. Let's put the team

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: on our back, let's go out there for another drive,

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: um and do it again, you know. And I think

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the guy's answered to the to the challenge, and and

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: and we got to win. Thanks. Last question here, Rights

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and why Leonard, given what you just said about how

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: the team is, Uh, you know, the attitude is still good.

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: No one's hanging their head. You know, you're right there.

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: How seriously are you taking the NFC East race? You know,

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: despite the record, you are right there? Are you? Are

80
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: you looking at the standings? Do you look at this

81
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Eagles game is a pretty big game in the division.

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, like I said, the fact that

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: we're getting close and some of these games with with

84
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: top teams in the league right now is one of

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the reasons why we're not hanging our head. And then

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: also the fact that our division is so open and uh,

87
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, everything's right there in front of us still. Uh,

88
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, guys are just not

89
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: hanging their head down. We still have a lot to

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: fight for. And you could really feel the energy Like

91
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying it like just to make it

92
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: a good answer. It's like you can feel guys like

93
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: working hard every single day, Like guys are coming up

94
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: to each other, like having their own like individual meetings

95
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: with each other when coaches are not around. And uh,

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I like to see people work m
