Speaker 1: We're back the NFL with twelve re option touchdowns rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You guys rank for PFF nineteen against the rush on reoption?
Speaker 1: How can you improve on that specific side with the
Speaker 1: challenge that they bring with the red option? With the
Speaker 1: red option, anytime you're facing a quarterback that has that
Speaker 1: type of ability, you just gotta be on your assignments,
Speaker 1: you know, for a full sixty minutes, which is way
Speaker 1: easier said than done. Uh. You know, there's times in
Speaker 1: a game where you might be part of a long drive.
Speaker 1: You know, guys get tired and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the first thing that goes in your mind, you know,
Speaker 1: and you forget where you might need to fit in
Speaker 1: a certain uh play. Um, but yeah, it's all about
Speaker 1: being detailed and everybody's forming to the ball, getting to
Speaker 1: the ball, carry if if and when if or when
Speaker 1: he does pull it against the Cowboys had kind of
Speaker 1: back and ball feel given that the stakes are higher
Speaker 1: and maybe the Eagles or maybe even more equipped to
Speaker 1: play that way. Do you expect I don't know, something
Speaker 1: even more Yeah, I mean I expected to be a
Speaker 1: battle all the way through. Um. Both the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: Eagles are both physical talent to teams who are really
Speaker 1: fast and UM have a lot of talent. So just
Speaker 1: like it was a battle of this past week, I'm
Speaker 1: expecting that if not more this week. You know, them
Speaker 1: being in their home home stadium, home crowd behind them,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be juiced up, ready to go. Was that
Speaker 1: offensively evolved slash improved since the last time you faced them?
Speaker 1: I think obviously just the uh the addition of some
Speaker 1: of their playmakers. I mean, I guess most noticeably is
Speaker 1: a J Brown UM All Pro receiver, and uh, the
Speaker 1: the I guess, the evolution of all the other guys
Speaker 1: that have been on their team, as in Jalen Hurts, Um,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, DeVante Smith, all those guys that they that
Speaker 1: they use, Dallas Goddard, you know, I go down the list,
Speaker 1: all of them have gotten better, UM this season. So
Speaker 1: that's equal to a more complete offense. They're on the
Speaker 1: line is all even better this season. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: Hurts evolved, I think just the command of the offense
Speaker 1: and knowing where to go with the ball, being more decisive.
Speaker 1: UM obviously the dynamic plaimmaker always has been, but using
Speaker 1: his legs to create plays and uh, you know, just
Speaker 1: launching the ball downfield to the guys who can go
Speaker 1: and go up and make plays. Um. I think that's
Speaker 1: what's kind of elevated him into being an All Pro
Speaker 1: quarterback the third time in four years. You guys are here,
Speaker 1: you kind of looking back at that wallpaper, can you
Speaker 1: appreciate can you describe the appreciation also the difficulty of
Speaker 1: doing when you guys have done in this war yor span? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you you work all season obviously to get
Speaker 1: up to this point and you know, just me looking
Speaker 1: at that just kind of reminded me of like it
Speaker 1: seems like just yesterday when we were getting ready to
Speaker 1: play the Rams. Right, But it takes such a long season,
Speaker 1: a long grind and uh, you think about everything that
Speaker 1: we've we've went through up to this point just even
Speaker 1: get to this point. Um, it's uh, it's it's a
Speaker 1: grind all season. And I think this this part of
Speaker 1: the year and this game specifically, it's all it's all mental.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously everybody's bodies are are beaten down mentally,
Speaker 1: your your your drain. But who can do who can
Speaker 1: do right longer? Who can continue to push through for
Speaker 1: the end goal is do you want it that bad,
Speaker 1: Like are you are you starving for? Is that something
Speaker 1: that you you're gonna get out of bed and do
Speaker 1: whatever possible to make sure that you attain that goal. So, um,
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. Teams out, Diamador Lenore. What what
Speaker 1: are his best attributes in your mind? Um? I think
Speaker 1: just the competitive spirit. Um people talking. People are going
Speaker 1: to knock him on his size and uh, you know
Speaker 1: plays that he might have given up, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter for him. He's he's willing to go down there
Speaker 1: and get his nose dirty in the run game, tackling
Speaker 1: guys physically regardless of his size. You know, that's why
Speaker 1: people kind of calm a pit bowl. He will call
Speaker 1: himself a hyena, whatever you wanna call it. He's a
Speaker 1: competitor and he's gonna go up. He's gonna compete for
Speaker 1: the football in the air. He's not afraid of anybody. Then,
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes him so great. And he's
Speaker 1: obviously played huge for us. Hit on the sideline on
Speaker 1: CD land did that jump out to you until on review?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's something he's done. Also, you look
Speaker 1: back at the Seattle game, you do the same thing
Speaker 1: to uh to lock it, you know, on on our sideline. So, uh,
Speaker 1: he's just continuing to be himself and gaining more confidence,
Speaker 1: which is obviously producing better results. Enjoy being in coverage,
Speaker 1: and have you evolved that part of your game? UM,
Speaker 1: I mean it's always something that I've I've been more
Speaker 1: comfortable with. UM. You know, obviously doing that a lot
Speaker 1: back in college and and so forth helped me to
Speaker 1: do those type of things. And now here at this level,
Speaker 1: I've just tried to try to, uh evolved my game
Speaker 1: to being a more complete inside backer so I can
Speaker 1: play in the box, play in the back end, do
Speaker 1: um do everything as well as possible. Thanks guys,
