Speaker 1: Every single one you can really think of. You know,
Speaker 1: they run the ball well, UM, Matt Ryan's playing at
Speaker 1: a high level. UM. And Julio's Julio, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the game. So UM, big,
Speaker 1: big challenge. UM. But you know what I think we've
Speaker 1: when we've had those challenges ahead of us, we've risen
Speaker 1: up to them. So UM excited to see, uh the
Speaker 1: way we're gonna play. You know, obviously we're back in
Speaker 1: the link. UM brings the energy and excited about it.
Speaker 1: You know, we're all we're already. Is that just a
Speaker 1: fluke or is there something that it's tough tough to say?
Speaker 1: You know, all those games we've had a chance to win. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, really the only game we played terrible and
Speaker 1: was the rest Gains game. Everybody knows that. So you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of maturn from those
Speaker 1: losses and uh coming out with those But you know,
Speaker 1: it's always nice to be back back home. UM. And
Speaker 1: we've got a good stretch coming up of home games
Speaker 1: within within what our next stake games, so uh, you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be nice. A lot of people do
Speaker 1: say you can learn more from losses and those close,
Speaker 1: tough late losses. What have you learned and do you
Speaker 1: believe they can make you stronger when you face them again? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. Um. First off, you know we believe, uh
Speaker 1: where we've lost those games, right, you know, we've been
Speaker 1: in position in each one of those games to where
Speaker 1: we could have won the game. A couple of mistakes here,
Speaker 1: cople mistakes there, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know we've had the ball ready to win it,
Speaker 1: you know, um. And you know with that being the case,
Speaker 1: that gives you confidence right there. Now, Obviously you have
Speaker 1: to learn from the mistakes that you've made, and that's
Speaker 1: part of the maturity of this team. You know, we've
Speaker 1: you know obviously, Okay, it kind of gets you know,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the same song over and over again
Speaker 1: when you come back after, you know, the day after
Speaker 1: a close loss and you're talking about, you know, we're
Speaker 1: so close, we're you know, we've got to get over that.
Speaker 1: And at this point there's no more excuses. You know,
Speaker 1: our season go up or down, and we all understand that,
Speaker 1: so U you know, we have no choice about to
Speaker 1: learn from it. Say Jordan that your play has gone
Speaker 1: up a notch of or less three games in particular.
Speaker 1: And it's so fair to say that your game has
Speaker 1: gone up over the last few games in particular, And
Speaker 1: what would you attribute that to? Yeah, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I'm trying to just put our
Speaker 1: team in the best position possible, you know. Obviously I'm
Speaker 1: studying a game plan and you know, trying to key
Speaker 1: key in on certain plays that I can make. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I don't change the
Speaker 1: way I prepare for any game, you know. I try
Speaker 1: to be consistent and um, my focus and in the
Speaker 1: way the way I approach the game. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, but you're Your four interceptions are
Speaker 1: most ever by Eagles linebackers first sixteen games, and the
Speaker 1: most by any Eagle in his first sixteen games since
Speaker 1: Eric Allen. But a year in the late eighties a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl cornerback, M was that a big part of
Speaker 1: your where do you how important is is past coverage
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing to you and making those
Speaker 1: plays when you have the opportunities, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: because that's not something a lot of backers do, especially
Speaker 1: inside backers. You know, I've always considered myself a playmaker. Um,
Speaker 1: whether you know it's it was really stemming from high
Speaker 1: school all the way up. You know, I've I've always
Speaker 1: kind of been in position to make plays and take
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in making the plays when they
Speaker 1: do come. You know, obviously a lot of that is
Speaker 1: attributed to film study, you know, and you know if
Speaker 1: you don't put the work in, you're not going to
Speaker 1: be in that those positions. So UM, you know, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is that, and you know,
Speaker 1: when when the plays come, it's just you know, I
Speaker 1: make the place. We knew. We knew Eli was getting
Speaker 1: the ball out as quick as he possibly could. Um,
Speaker 1: and that's no different from last year and the year before,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's just his game and that's their offense,
Speaker 1: you know. So that really the mentality was, don't get
Speaker 1: frustrated because we knew we you know, aren't going to
Speaker 1: get home right away. Um, when the past rush is
Speaker 1: rolling is when you know, late in the game, we
Speaker 1: forced their hand and um, you know obviously we're covering
Speaker 1: on the back end and we're allowing the front line
Speaker 1: to get get going. So uh, you know, I think
Speaker 1: I think game it changes week to week. Um, game
Speaker 1: playing the game plan and with that being the case,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens this week. The Falcon's offense.
Speaker 1: A moment ago you kind of explained that what sets
Speaker 1: have a part um. I think it's it's obviously they've
Speaker 1: got a lot of playmakers, UM, but I think it's
Speaker 1: their ability to to run the ball and then there
Speaker 1: um their action off of their run. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: if if they can get their run going, it opens
Speaker 1: up their entire offense. So it's going to be a
Speaker 1: huge key for us this week stopping the run, just
Speaker 1: as every week. But you know it definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: their pass game is based off of off of being
Speaker 1: able to run the ball and getting linebackers in the core,
Speaker 1: you know, running biting on the on the run fakes
Speaker 1: and um getting guys out of position that way. So
Speaker 1: you know, as long as we are stopping the run
Speaker 1: and forcing their hand, we should be all right. Playing
Speaker 1: at home, the Umber statistically for your defense are significantly
Speaker 1: improved at home. Do you have any answers to why, like,
Speaker 1: what's going on at home it's working so well? I've
Speaker 1: got that question a lot. I think we all have. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think obviously there's something about playing in
Speaker 1: the Linkum with the energy with the fans. We feed
Speaker 1: off of that. But that's that's no you know, no
Speaker 1: excuse for what has happened on the road, and we
Speaker 1: understand that. So you know, obviously it's it's different playing here. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's one of the best atmospheres
Speaker 1: you know, that I've played at in the league. I
Speaker 1: haven't played everywhere, but one of the best atmospheres I've
Speaker 1: played at. So you know, obviously, like I said, we
Speaker 1: feed off of them, they feed off of us, and um,
Speaker 1: it's a special place we play here, ye
