1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Challenging receivers and getting his hands on him. And then 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: down the field, he's a would locate the ball. I 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: think he's worked on that and you can see the 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: dividends paying off. He they would locate the ball and 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: knock him down. We should come away with more interceptions 6 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: when he's in position. But he's doing a great job 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: of winning at the line of scrimmage and went in downfield. 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: Have you seen anything like in his perpono or even 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: just in the classroom. Do you see him preparing differently 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: this year or at this point, Well, really, I didn't 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: know how he prepared last year, but I see him 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: spending extra time. He meets early in the morning, gets 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: a little extra with his coach at the SA is 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: doing a great job of feeding him information. He's taking it. 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: And then on the field, you see the confidence and 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: you see the leadership starting to show up. He'll speak 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: to the dbs and you know, get guys in the 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: right place. So it's good to see the growth. Normally 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: you're a pretty calm guy, but I'm sure you had 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: to get pretty excited from that hit last week from 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: Sad Quarterman on Derrick Henry. Oh, that was big. That 22 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: was a big time. It was We talked all week about, 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, being able to impact the game, and Chat 24 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: got a chance to come in and play a certain role, 25 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: and he came in and did a great job of 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: really being physical and then igniting the team. You look 27 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: at that, there was a couple of other big hits 28 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: in the game, but that one really stood out and 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: you can see the reaction on the sideline where you know, uh, 30 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: that's when they're that's a very good player in this 31 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: league and able to get the ball off of him. 32 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: That was big for us from from a symbolism standpoint, 33 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a guy that has made a career out of it 34 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: running all over jack Worth defense, regardless of who was 35 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: playing or who's coving did that was that an emotional 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: lift to see the bully get bullied and so to speak. 37 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: I think it was good for us to be able 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to go out there and make a play. He had 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: broken the yard. We had not gotten the right gap. 40 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: He had broken and gained a bunch of yards early on. 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I think he had like close to a hundred in 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: the first quarter. And for us to be able to 43 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: make that play, for Shack be able to make that hit, 44 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: it was really a big boost for us, and he 45 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: saying he had just given them a first down around 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: the twenty. So if if Shaq doesn't knock that ball loose, 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: you know they got a first down with some time 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: wept and everything. So from about three different perspectives, that 49 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: was that a big play. You know, it was a 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: takeaway and stopped them from being in position to score, 51 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: and it delivered kind of a message, Oh really, anytime 52 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: you can take the ball away from the offense and 53 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: give it back to your offense. And the big play. 54 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: But just like you said, the way he was able 55 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: to hit him and the ball came out and we're 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: able to get the ball and it was on our 57 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: sideline and it really ignited our team. Having when we 58 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: back this week or it looks like you'll be back, 59 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: how much does that change the rotation that linebacker, having 60 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: him being able to mix him in. Devonope really is 61 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: day to day and and the staff we're confident in 62 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: both of those guys. So whoever's out there, feel good 63 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: with him play in. But right now he's day to day. 64 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: We'll see that shakes out, but both guys were comfortable 65 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: throwing them out there. Challenges run game as this year. 66 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: I've seen this ranks out there said again, you had 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: a lot of challenge this year. It's uh, you know 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: it's weekly when you're playing our division. You know you 69 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: have great running backs. We're facing another one this week. 70 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: So it's uh what we do and we just have 71 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: to understand what we have to do out on Sunday 72 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: and go out there and get it done. They're pretty 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: balanced though, because they can air it out as well. 74 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Just what's going to be the key to even if 75 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: you do get the stops and the run defense not 76 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: getting beat on the back end with those talented receivers. 77 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: They just signed another one this week. They do. They 78 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: definitely have a bunch of weapons, But defensively, we have 79 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: to have our priorities and go out there and execute 80 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: our game plan and at the end of the day, 81 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: it's time. It's time. When it's time to make a play, 82 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: you have to make a play, and we did that 83 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: this past Sunday and we would go out to day 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: and practice and work on it in hopefully get it 85 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: done this Sunday we're able to give the Cowboys in trouble. 86 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: After that game, Mike McCarthy said, if he was the 87 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive coordinator, he'd basically do similar to what they 88 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: did last week. How much of what you saw from 89 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Houston do you mix in or do you just stay 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of true to who you are? Really the thing 91 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: about it is they made play the crucial situations. They're 92 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the fourth and one stop interception there. There there's a 93 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: bunch of players that help them play defense, and we 94 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: want to be the same way when it's time to 95 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: make a play where the fourth down or first down, 96 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: when it's time to make a play, stand up and 97 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: make that play. In will trust our defense and go 98 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: do it. I remember earlier this season you mentioned like 99 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: when you guys are on defense at home, it gets 100 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: really loud. This Sunday probably gonna be a lot of fans, 101 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: maybe a lot of visiting fans, So there's gonna be 102 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: a lot of noise. Do you talk to the players 103 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: about that and just get them ready for this caliber 104 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: of game. But we understand that the Cowboys, uh, they 105 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: travel well, and you know it's gonna be a little 106 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: different than our stadium, but our fans will be there 107 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be pulling for us, and we understand 108 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: that we go out there, we play for our fans. 109 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: We play for ourselves. Also, we're playing for those fifty 110 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: three guys that are out there, and you know, we'll 111 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: go out there and we'll be that tight knit group 112 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: and go out there and cheer for each other. As 113 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: for us all a little bit of a spike last 114 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: week and the Cowboys offensive line having some shuffling. Do 115 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: you go tell those guys look at their moving players around, 116 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: we gotta keep this rolling. Well, the thing the pass 117 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: for us last week, they really got after it and 118 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: you could see the difference in the game. And it's 119 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: the same message this week, same message every week. You know, 120 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: pass freshers, it's your job. You get to the quarterback. 121 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: It's your job to make the quarterback feel pressure. And 122 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: you know this week is no different than any other. 123 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: It's time to go out there and let's get pressure 124 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: on the quarterback's hand in the dirt. Do you see 125 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,679 Speaker 1: a difference in him when he when he's lined up there. Really, 126 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: it's a at the coach. Sometimes you sit back and 127 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: you look at different things, but we want to make 128 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: a player feel comfortable. So whether he's in a two 129 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: point or three point really it's on if he chooses 130 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: to getting a three point in certain situations he can 131 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: get in the three point all he wants, and being 132 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: able to be comfortable out on the field. We don't 133 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: want robots. We want guys that are able to have 134 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: a little flexibility in the defense. And whether it's two 135 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: point or three point, whatever he feels he can get 136 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: the best take off. Let him do that and we'll 137 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: coach him up whichever way he wants to do it. 138 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: If he can't go this week, how difficult is it 139 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: to replace what he does? You? You always want your 140 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: guys right to come in here. I talk about other 141 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: teams guys. You always want your guys with you. And 142 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: if you can't have your guy, then we have to 143 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: have a guy step up. And the really the important 144 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: part about being a guy is the guy behind you. 145 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: When you are able to play, what have you done 146 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: to get that guy to come along? And I think 147 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: we have enough depth in that position where we have 148 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: a few guys and if Treybon can't play this week, 149 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: then we have another guy ready to step up. That 150 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: name part of the key to what happened last week. 151 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: You kind of got some of those guys to step up. 152 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, so some big plays for manj Winger a 153 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: big player for Sack quarterman. That kind of thing. That's 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: the thing like when you're not a starter and you're 155 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: a role player, you're always itching for the opportunity. And 156 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: once you get that opportunity, I tell them all the time, 157 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: taking a run with it and you you've you've seen it. Uh, 158 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: Trey had a great game last week, um wingered. He's 159 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: been doing it the last few weeks. And Shat got 160 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: his opportunity, stepped up and made a big place. So 161 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: I think it's always next man up mentality. But when 162 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: it's really not next man up and you get opportunity 163 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: to play, you're itching for you go out there and 164 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: you uh, you show and you bring a little life 165 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: to the team. And the guys are doing that. Shack 166 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: was unfolding. Did you see Shacks flipping the call twice? 167 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: Or did you don't see that until you looked at 168 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: the film later on. It's funny. I made the point 169 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: to the to the defense, like coach always talks about 170 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: prepare yourself for the field and go out there and 171 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: test it out. And I joked with the defense of like, 172 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: look here, we've got three linebackers on the field all 173 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: three of them slipped on the same play, but again 174 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: Shack slipped, got up, got back, brand, made a big play, 175 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: and you know we'll get his shoes fixed. Oh yeah, 176 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: he's out there. You know, he's uh, he's gonna give 177 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: it his all and he did a great job for us. 178 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: Thank you.
