1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: James, have you ever been on the defense that didn't 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: allow a third down conversion in the game? And when 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: you do that, what does that mean about how well 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: you controlled and the the offense's ability to move the ball? Um? 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I can't remember the past four 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: years if we had a team converted a whole lot 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: on us on third down or not. But you know, 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: third down is a critical part of the game. UM. 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: We prod ourselves on trying to get the field on 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: third down. UM. And I'm glad we was able to 11 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: do that today and execute Valentine. And this is two 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: weeks in a row that you guys have have come 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: up with big stops at the end of games to 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: win games. Just talking about how how big that is 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: for for your confidence and and uh and and what's 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: led to that. I think it was huge this game 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: just because we all know how the last game went 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: when we played those guys, UM, so we knew we 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: had to start fast and we had to finish the game. 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: And that's what we did, was able to ascute the 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: inn and finish off the game. So it was it 22 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: was a huge achievement for us. Matt Lombardo, Hey, James, Um, 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: were you surprised and went your way on that fourth 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: down late in the game? And secondly, you know, do 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: you feel like this defense is really starting to build 26 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: something based on what you've done the last couple of weeks. 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: I definitely think we're heading in the right direction. We 28 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: can improve in certain areas. We're definitely in a good 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: position right now going into the bye week. And then 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: in my surprise that they came my way, not really 31 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: because I was on the I was to the boundary side, 32 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: the single receiver side, and usually on fourth down, Um, 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: most teams are going man, So that single side receiver 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: got action. Jordan Right now, Hey, James, you guys are 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: three and seven, But obviously with the way the division is, 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: your your right right in that division mixture right now 37 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: heading into the bye week, how would you describe the 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: feeling of the team right now heading into this by week? 39 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: Our confidence is high, but we all we also know 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: that there's room for improvement. Um, and you know we're 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: gonna enjoin this by week. Um, and then we're gonna 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: take a week by week when we get back. Yeah, 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: what's the importance to you of the fact that you 44 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: are right in the division race? With you know, just 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: a few more weeks to go. I think for us 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: as a team, we just can't get can't get too 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: far ahead. We gotta take a week by week. Um. 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: I know in the past, when I played on certain teams, 49 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: if we looked too far ahead, you know, we we 50 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: messed up on those certain games that we were overlooking. 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: So just take just um lock in each week and 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: then just play ball from there. It's cute when it's 53 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: time to play Leonard and James. Who had the music 54 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: on too loud? I know Judge told somebody to turn 55 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: the music down. Oh yeah, I'm not sure who was 56 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: playing the music. I'll just in there vibe into it.
