1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: We're back the NFL with twelve re option touchdowns rushing touchdowns.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: You guys rank for PFF nineteen against the rush on reoption?

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: How can you improve on that specific side with the

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: challenge that they bring with the red option? With the

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: red option, anytime you're facing a quarterback that has that

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: type of ability, you just gotta be on your assignments,

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, for a full sixty minutes, which is way

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: easier said than done. Uh. You know, there's times in

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: a game where you might be part of a long drive.

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, guys get tired and all of a sudden,

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: the first thing that goes in your mind, you know,

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: and you forget where you might need to fit in

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: a certain uh play. Um, but yeah, it's all about

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: being detailed and everybody's forming to the ball, getting to

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: the ball, carry if if and when if or when

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: he does pull it against the Cowboys had kind of

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: back and ball feel given that the stakes are higher

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: and maybe the Eagles or maybe even more equipped to

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: play that way. Do you expect I don't know, something

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: even more Yeah, I mean I expected to be a

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: battle all the way through. Um. Both the Cowboys and

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Eagles are both physical talent to teams who are really

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: fast and UM have a lot of talent. So just

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: like it was a battle of this past week, I'm

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: expecting that if not more this week. You know, them

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: being in their home home stadium, home crowd behind them,

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna be juiced up, ready to go. Was that

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: offensively evolved slash improved since the last time you faced them?

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: I think obviously just the uh the addition of some

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: of their playmakers. I mean, I guess most noticeably is

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: a J Brown UM All Pro receiver, and uh, the

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: the I guess, the evolution of all the other guys

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: that have been on their team, as in Jalen Hurts, Um,

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, DeVante Smith, all those guys that they that

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: they use, Dallas Goddard, you know, I go down the list,

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: all of them have gotten better, UM this season. So

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: that's equal to a more complete offense. They're on the

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: line is all even better this season. So uh yeah,

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Hurts evolved, I think just the command of the offense

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: and knowing where to go with the ball, being more decisive.

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: UM obviously the dynamic plaimmaker always has been, but using

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: his legs to create plays and uh, you know, just

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: launching the ball downfield to the guys who can go

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: and go up and make plays. Um. I think that's

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: what's kind of elevated him into being an All Pro

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: quarterback the third time in four years. You guys are here,

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: you kind of looking back at that wallpaper, can you

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: appreciate can you describe the appreciation also the difficulty of

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: doing when you guys have done in this war yor span? Yeah,

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean you you work all season obviously to get

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: up to this point and you know, just me looking

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: at that just kind of reminded me of like it

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: seems like just yesterday when we were getting ready to

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: play the Rams. Right, But it takes such a long season,

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: a long grind and uh, you think about everything that

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: we've we've went through up to this point just even

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: get to this point. Um, it's uh, it's it's a

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: grind all season. And I think this this part of

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: the year and this game specifically, it's all it's all mental.

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, obviously everybody's bodies are are beaten down mentally,

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: your your your drain. But who can do who can

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: do right longer? Who can continue to push through for

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: the end goal is do you want it that bad,

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Like are you are you starving for? Is that something

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: that you you're gonna get out of bed and do

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: whatever possible to make sure that you attain that goal. So, um,

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. Teams out, Diamador Lenore. What what

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: are his best attributes in your mind? Um? I think

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: just the competitive spirit. Um people talking. People are going

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: to knock him on his size and uh, you know

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: plays that he might have given up, but it doesn't

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: matter for him. He's he's willing to go down there

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: and get his nose dirty in the run game, tackling

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: guys physically regardless of his size. You know, that's why

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: people kind of calm a pit bowl. He will call

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: himself a hyena, whatever you wanna call it. He's a

77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: competitor and he's gonna go up. He's gonna compete for

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the football in the air. He's not afraid of anybody. Then,

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes him so great. And he's

80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: obviously played huge for us. Hit on the sideline on

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: CD land did that jump out to you until on review?

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's something he's done. Also, you look

83
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: back at the Seattle game, you do the same thing

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: to uh to lock it, you know, on on our sideline. So, uh,

85
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: he's just continuing to be himself and gaining more confidence,

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: which is obviously producing better results. Enjoy being in coverage,

87
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: and have you evolved that part of your game? UM,

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's always something that I've I've been more

89
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: comfortable with. UM. You know, obviously doing that a lot

90
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: back in college and and so forth helped me to

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: do those type of things. And now here at this level,

92
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: I've just tried to try to, uh evolved my game

93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: to being a more complete inside backer so I can

94
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: play in the box, play in the back end, do

95
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: um do everything as well as possible. Thanks guys,
