Mary Christmas to 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: you as well. 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 2: I hope you had a good day, kids had a 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: good time. Awesome, very important. I'm curious as a former linebacker, 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: what having what what's it like having someone like Barmore 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: who can occupy so many bodies but also be as 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: explosive as he is. What does that do for the 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: front seven? 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: It's huge, you know. 10 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 3: Anytime you can make backs, you know, stop their feet 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 3: behind the line of scrimmage is always a benefit. And 12 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 3: if you can't get after the quarterback, obviously in passing situations, 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: it helps the coverage. 14 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: We always talk about marrying up the Russian to coverage. 15 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: You know, having a guy like Barmore, especially playing at 16 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 3: the level that he's playing at right now, is definitely 17 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 3: a huge benefit for the success of our defense. 18 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: Is he surprised you it all with how he's sort 19 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: of exploded here over the last two months. 20 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: Not really, you know, I'll say one thing about Barmore, 21 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: he is he is has matured since being here, and 22 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 3: he works hard. He's doing the extra stuff, he's doing 23 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: the little things, and he's starting to show up, starting 24 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: to pay dividends. Definitely, has a bright future and hopefully 25 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 3: you can keep a rogue. 26 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: Thanks mine. 27 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 4: Next question Chris Ryan. 28 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 5: Hey drop Merry Christmas Glad, Yes, I thank you. 29 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 4: Just an upshot on the defense. 30 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 5: You've been down Judoon Gonzalez pretty much for this entire year, 31 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 5: but the production of productivity has been there. You guys 32 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 5: have defense offics kept you guys in games. 33 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: Why is that? 34 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 5: Why do you think you've been able to have the 35 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 5: success you've had on defense. 36 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: Honestly, from the top of the roster to the bottom 37 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: of the roster, these guys have that never quit attitude 38 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: and and even this past game, you know, we had 39 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 3: guys go down, come back in the game, and all 40 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: I would say, all those guys were definitely doubted on 41 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: the sideline. You know, that next man up mentality is 42 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: has been really taken to another level this year and 43 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: those guys have really played well in those roles. 44 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about Barmber two, but on 45 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 5: the ability to sack the quarterback eight and a half 46 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 5: sacks for him moving up amongst the league leaders. 47 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: Did you expect that? 48 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 5: Is the sacks been kind of a a byproduct of 49 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: other things, or is he you know, a really good 50 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 5: pass rusher from defensive tackle spots. 51 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we always knew he was a really good pass rusher. 52 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: You see it every day in practice. I would say, 53 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: if you look at the run game, it's disciplined in 54 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: the run game has really been more surprising, at least 55 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: to me than anything else. We always knew, even in 56 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: Alabama he was always in the backfield. Maybe the numbers 57 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: didn't really show it, but he was always, you know, 58 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 3: chasing quarterbacks and being disruptive in the pass game. I 59 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: would say as a player though, he's matured and really 60 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: become a early down and third down player at the defensive. 61 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Tackle position, which is which is very good for us. 62 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks Chris, and next question dun kayde Hey. 63 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: Rod, Merry Christmas, Christmas. 64 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 5: Thank you. 65 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 6: With with Mack Wilson, I know he's rushing the pass 66 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 6: for a lot more so far this season than he 67 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 6: has in the past years in his NFL career and 68 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 6: probably even getting. 69 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: Back to college as well. 70 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 6: What has made you guys want to use him so 71 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 6: much more as a pass rusher this year and use 72 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 6: it more on the edge. 73 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I coming out of last year, you know, 74 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: Steve and I felt like we kind of let Mac 75 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: down on some of the things that we knew he 76 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: was good at, but at the same time didn't want 77 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 3: to really overload his plate. I would say, you know, 78 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: coming into this season, we said, look, we have to 79 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: get this guy in the field. 80 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: He's explosive, he's fast, he can play. 81 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: Various roles, and also over the past few months he's 82 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: been doing a good job in those roles. You know, 83 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: obviously he's more comfortable in the defense, but he's doing 84 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: a great job for us. You can rush, he's fast, 85 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: he can do all the things that many deficults, I 86 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: should say, the fast defense, events, doing the league, plus 87 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: playoff the ball. 88 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: Thank you, Drud Thanks so our next question Karen Gradian. 89 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: Hey Rod, Hey Karen, Merry Christmas, same to you. 90 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: Hope you had a nice day. I was just curious 91 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: the way the season is gone, being out of the 92 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 4: playoffs early on. 93 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: What have you learned most. 94 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: About being a coach, a coaching a team you know 95 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: that's out of it so soon. 96 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've just learned that. You know, these guys are 97 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: are very resilient. They're mentally resilient. You know, it really 98 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: doesn't matter what's happening on or off the field. As 99 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: soon as they cross the white lines, they're going to 100 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 3: give it everything they have. And I think that's reflective 101 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: of what we've done, you know so far, especially defensively. 102 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: These guys work hard no matter what's you know, what 103 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: the record is, no matter where we end up on 104 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: the field, and I appreciate that attitude, that mentality and 105 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: coach used to always talk about, you know, you get 106 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: to the playoffs, it's a crash landing. I just know, 107 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: like smooth land and one thing I would say, now 108 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: we have an end date and hopefully these guys, you know, 109 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: they understand that and you don't. 110 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Want to go out with the banks. 111 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: Thank you, true. 112 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: Thanks. 113 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: And final question here from Sophie Weller. Hey you merry Christmas. 114 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: Christmas, Sophie. 115 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: I'm just curious, you know, throughout this season the defense 116 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 4: has done very very well in comparison to sometimes when 117 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 4: the offense doesn't show up completely. What is your message 118 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 4: to the defense in those moments throughout the season to 119 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 4: kind of keep them motivated and keep them doing what 120 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: they're doing. 121 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know, for the most part, many 122 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: of the defensive players also play special teams as well, 123 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: so I would say, you know, just worried about what 124 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: we can do to help the team win. And obviously 125 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 3: the only absolute in this game is if you don't score, 126 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: you don't win. And so that's why it's good to play, 127 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: That's why it's good to you know, be out there 128 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: playing good defense. 129 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: And that's what the guys have done up until this point. 130 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: And obviously, you know, sometimes the offense is rolling sometimes 131 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 3: or not, but that happens on every single team, and 132 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: at some point in time, the other units just have 133 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: to pick up the slack and I think the guys 134 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: have done a good job doing that.
