Does it think of 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.800 make you think about where offenses are going? Does it 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.400 make you think of a bar that you you kind 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:45.680 of want this offense to get to? 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.800 What do you what do you think about? Mon Uh? 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.360 To be honest, no, I believe our offense can do 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.960 the same thing. We just have to dial in, you know, 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.440 stay locked in within the game and put points on 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.160 the board. Because, like I said, I feel like we 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.360 stopped ourselves against the Coats, turn us the mishaps. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.240 We wasn't putting points on the ball, but I believe 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:03.520 we could. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.200 Said heard last Sunday, that. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.120 You know, the turnovers fumbles were not winning football, way 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.320 up to play winning. Is there anything important to in 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.240 common with the fumbles that had so far this year? 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.800 Oh, they was in a pocket. Most of them been 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:20.279 in the pocket. 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:20.440 You know. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.160 I had that one against Texas when I was making it, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.200 trying to make a god miss. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.240 But most of them been in the pocket. I'm trying 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.760 to throw the ball. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.640 You know, the ball is loose like me throwing it, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.719 and it's been hit, you know, but you gotta do 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:31.520 a better job at that. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.600 You know it it affects the game. It affects the game. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.000 Omark earlier this season, you guys will make trips in 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.560 since of Cleveland Pittsburgh. At this point in your career, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.040 have you adopted sort of an attitude about going into 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.280 these hostile places you already motivated by it. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.120 Is there anything that. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.400 You take that makes your game another level when you're 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:53.720 on the. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.000 Throat of I go in to you know, those games 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.400 playing like any other game, but it's different because they're 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.800 in the division. So it's like, like you said, it's 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.719 a little extra motivation. I say, you know, it's like 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:09.560 a rival. It's like a rival, and it's it's physical games, 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:10.239 very physical. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.159 So you hear the crowd, do you hear things they 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.400 say anything? 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.480 Fantastic crowd. I'm trying to win. Trying to win. I 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:20.200 already don't care. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.359 Next up we'll hear from Roquan Smith. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:28.640 Uh, the Browns offense. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:29.320 What do you see? 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.280 What it's gonna be the challenge this week? 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.480 Oh yeah, you know, obviously they're down arguably like their 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.279 best player and a lot of respect for him, God 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.440 played with in college and whatnot, so definitely thinking about him. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.920 But despite that, knowing that they're gonna come out try 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.000 to do they have to do to get the job done. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.680 And I think, you know, Watson at the Ham, they're 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.000 still gonna try to run the ball. I think that's 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.360 a you know, hats off to their head coach, and 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:56.800 I think that's something that he wants to do. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:57.640 Run the ball. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.800 So that's our main priority, stopping the run. 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.640 And and I think they're gonna try to get the 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.719 ball to number two Cooper and then put eight in 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.520 some a lot of situations as well, and then obviously 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.760 our tight ends come alive. So I don't think it'll 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.640 be anything different minus like Chubb. But I still think 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.160 they're gonna try to run the ball. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.240 When you prepare for a guy like Watson who maybe 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.440 struggled a little bit when he first took over the 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.920 job in Cleveland, do you still go in assuming the 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.920 guy that you saw back in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.200 then he's fully capable of being that guy. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:28.599 Yeah. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.440 Absolutely, Anything a man done once, I'm sure they can out. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.000 The likelihood that they can do it again is very possible. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.200 So got a lot of respect for the guy playing 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.240 a position, one of the toughest position in the league 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.240 to play, in my opinion. So I think it was 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.680 just gonna We're gonna have to just come out, do 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.800 we have to do and whatever it takes to get 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.840 the job done, and if we do that, feel like 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.840 we'll be in good standings. 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.520 You're obviously if you're going up against their offense, and 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.560 is there any part of you and you going up 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.720 against the team that's really good defense like that we 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.760 want Right now, it's kind of assessing pride there in 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.280 the facing the team that you guys suppose. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.039 Have a really won't answer. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.359 I think what this is Week four. You're not defined 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.440 off being the best defense in the league through week 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.960 four period, I think, yeah, it's a seventeen game season, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.440 so it's what you're gonna do late in the season. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.480 But hats off of those guys. I haven't watched them, 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.280 so not really sure. I know they got some good 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.720 players over there and whatnot, but I haven't really watched them, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.400 so I really don't care too much. If I'm being 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.240 perfectly on, it's just more focused on our defense and 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.240 what we're gonna do to make sure we come out 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:33.480 victorious in this game. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.800 Is that more broadly true for you that there's really 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.440 not a lot of value to you and paying attention 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.200 to what other defenses are doing. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.920 I'm trying to see, like what I can actually gain 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.680 from watching them, Like, I don't think personally I can 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.000 gain anything from watching their defense and from what I 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.640 hear just based off in a team like they play 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.560 a completely different style of defense, you know, But hats 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.680 off of those guys for what they've done thus far 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.200 in this season. I look forward to Sunday and I think, 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.320 you know, we do what we have to do, play 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.640 our style offensively and defensively, then we'll we'll come out victorious. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.360 Broke, you've been with the. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.720 Ravens long enough now to have ventured into each of 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:13.480 these AFC North cities. How would you describe Cleveland in 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.400 particular or the division in general when you go in 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.360 there as the enemy, the intensity and whatnot. 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.720 Yeah, you go in there as the enemy to go 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.840 take over. And that's our plan to actually go take over. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.679 I think they call it the dog Pound. I consider 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.280 myself a dog. So I'm right at home and I play, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.440 so I'm excited to get back in there. And I 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.400 know they are physical football team, but so are we. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:34.839 And at the end of the day, it's going to 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.040 be the most physical football team that come out of there, 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.200 that comes out of there, and whoever is the most 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.319 physical football team in that game that's gonna come out 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.160 of Victoria's And your question about the division, Yeah, I 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.480 think my opinion, I think is the best division in football, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.240 Like without a doubt, you look at it from top 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.480 to bottom. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.280 Or quite along those lines. How much do you embrace 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.280 this four week stretch where you have three road games 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.400 in the division. It's a challenge, but also knowing if 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.800 you fare the way you guys want to, you know 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.160 what that could mean for you guys in the big 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.280 picture of division and you know, everything down the road. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.640 Honestly, I love it, you know, I love a challenge, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.560 you know, at the end of the day, you know, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.040 I love looking face and looking something square in the 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.040 face and saying bringing it on, bring it on, whatever 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.520 it is, you know, chin up, chest out. You know, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.320 I live by that sunce that's no regrets. So I'm 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.440 looking forward to it and I can't wait. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.079 We're gonna go back to. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.200 Playing and trying to get the villain role. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:26.000 You know, on the road. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.360 It seems like that's something to eat you yell. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.839 Shane Chill subtles youre always ark Byer like he's a 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.319 bad guy in for the stadis is that villain lay 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.240 or something that that you kind of race on these 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:36.000 road out of years? 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.800 I definitely, uh, you know, think about that. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.480 But at the end of the day, you're considered the 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.480 bad guy because you're going into essentially another man's house 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.640 and you're trying to take over, like his wife, kids, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.520 everyone there to watch them. So you were going over 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.800 to beat their tails in front of their wife and kids. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.640 So when you think about it from that perspective, like 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.400 any man's gonna you know, fight to the death. Of 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:55.760 that point, I know if that's me in that case, 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.080 I know I would, So I think about it from 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.160 that standpoint, and I'm just going in, you know, just 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.520 like I prepar for any other game. Play to the whistle, 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.320 play physical, and hit anything that moved. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.120 Is that how you approach playing connect? 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.719 For I'm a competitor, fearce competitor, so I approach it 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.319 trying to win each and every UH game. I'm sure 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.400 you can ask UH some of your peers coworkers, how 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:15.880 good I am? 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.719 You know, real fun? 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.520 How'd you like the front office been able to add 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.800 Kyle van nuyd practice squad right now, but knowing how 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.160 much he's played in the league and played at a 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:26.600 high level. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.280 Yeah, man, I gotta have a lot of respect for 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.679 uh kV uh and the way he even came in 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.200 today and the way he UH been approaching things UH 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.480 since I first met him, and UH just his leadership 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.400 as well as just like how smart the guy is, 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.000 Like how quickly he pick up on things like already 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.920 out here today, you know, just calling out things. So 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.000 when a guy come in like that, you know, a 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.240 well seasoned veteran, UH been in a lot of different schemes, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.199 so he know exactly what we expect of him, and 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.120 I'm just excited to uh welcome him uh to the team, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.960 and I think he's gonna be a great addition for us. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.280 How great is when you get guys back in practice 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.720 field for the hurt Markus Williams trying standard tyle quantity. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.720 I'm just kind of produced and see these guys back 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:05.079 out there. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:06.120 Yeah, it's always good. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.559 You know, see somebody that maybe went down with something 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.599 and just back out on the practice feel you know, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.360 you always love to have your brothers back out there 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.360 in the line of duty. And it don't get any 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.440 better than that when you just have good players that return. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.600 But you know, whoever is out there, I know we're 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.880 going to be prepared through and through and whoever's out 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.760 there is going to give everything they got and uh 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.440 to the whistle, to the whistle blows, We're going one 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:28.280 hundred miles an hour. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:33.200 And now it's defensive tackle Michael Pierce. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.319 Like a few weeks into the season, how you're feeling, 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.160 how's your body, how's everything going on? 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.360 I feel good, man, Not the best since we lost 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.600 last week, but uh feel pretty good. Like I said, 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.120 we just got to keep guys healthy. And uh, just 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:48.760 keep rolling. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.640 Michael, you said you gotta keep guys healthy. I mean, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.000 you've you've been through a lot of different kinds of season. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.360 I mean, when you have all these injuries in the 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.319 first few weeks in the season, do you have to 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.360 fight to sort of stay positive at all or I mean, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:03.520 guys just used to dealing without it. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.880 At this point. I think you get used to it. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.120 I think it kind of can be shocking for like 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.560 younger guys, like rookies. But they said, once you've been 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.959 you know, I would say probably two to three years 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.079 in the league, you just kind of get used to it. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.520 But exp people's roles change, and that's kind of way 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.959 you see guys step up and or fall off. So 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.000 you know, t Robin has done an amazing job, especially 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.200 on our d line, just stepping up when he's needed. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.240 So uh yeah, it's just kind of like a call 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.560 to action. And like I said, the games don't change, but. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.679 The people do. So it's kind of how you deal 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.240 with it taking ad injuries. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.880 I mean, obviously they just lost Nick Chubb recently, but 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.400 you know, how challenging is it going up against that 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.679 Cleveland running game that we know it's been really productive 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:43.199 for a few years. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.280 Yeah, I mean Kareem hunt is a is a main 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.040 state for them. He's been there with three or four years, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.679 so he's familiar. He played last week. Their offensive line 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.600 is really really good on the tops in the league. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.679 So it's a it's a difficult game, but I think 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.480 we had the men that's built for the job, me 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:04.200 and myself, Travis herb Ardy Beaks obviously. So it's gonna 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.439 be on us to establish a line of scrimmage and 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.360 kind of make them at least stud of their feat 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.560 and go backside to go where the runs on playing 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.560 to go. So, like I said, I think we got 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.320 the man for the job, along with Roquan and all 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.280 those guys as well. But it's definitely been placed on 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.719 us to set the tone for the game and move 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.400 forward from there. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:29.320 Last week, Oh yeah, he was more accurate. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.160 I'm not the most uh, I probably would say I'm 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.640 probably the least guy to pay attention to the quarterback 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.400 as far as like throws down the field. But now 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.000 he was definitely more accurate and uh more precise with 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.480 the ball. They had some miscues, but now he I 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.920 would say he's always been elusive. He did make a 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.640 lot of guys miss a lot of sacks, which we've 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.720 we struggled with a little bit last week. So they 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.000 just kind of emphasized that that practice, just making sure 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.719 we break down our feet and try to, you know, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.720 get our bodies in front of him. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:03.839 But now he does. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.840 He does a great job making guys miss and looking 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.360 for those second plays and uh, getting the ball downfield 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.480 at the initial Playbakers. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:10.640 Now, like when you're. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.319 Going up against the team that has the number one defense, 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.559 does that kind of invigorate you and and your fellow 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.200 defenders to try and outclass them, out inform them more 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.680 so than just traditionally playing. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:23.240 Against another time. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.200 So I would say we strive to be the number 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.760 one defense. Uh, we aren't there at at the moment, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.440 but definitely. But this is like Cleveland Browns with Baltimore Ravens. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.640 It's always been a big hit, take a punch, throw 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.400 a punch kind of game. So nah, we definitely are 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.000 aware that they're number one, and like I said, they 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.200 have an amazing front. Obviously we know z and all 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.200 those guys, so play with Dalvin, So now we definitely 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.600 want to outplay them. But at the end of the day, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.200 that number one spot is still up for grabs until 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.640 the season's over, so we that's what we're striving for. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.520 Michael, you've been through these AFC North road games before. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.720 Is there anything about Cleveland that is different from going 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.520 to Pittsburgh or Cincinnati? Is there anything you mentioned hard 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.400 hitting games? Does anything stick out about when you play there? 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.600 I would just say from the last year or so, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.200 we haven't had the best run defense when we went there. Well, 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.040 they ran well when they were here, but I wouldn't 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:17.280 say so. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:17.800 Uh. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:23.240 I mean Pittsburgh Cincinnati, they're kind of the same to me, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.760 especially in the trenches. Like I said, we've been playing 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.240 against Nick Chubb there and you know how great he is. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.000 So I think it's just really like I said, just 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.600 take a punch, store a punch. It's been laid away 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.920 with Pittsburgh, especially when they had like Le'Veon Bell and 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.600 all those guys and the Pounty guys. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.880 So I was related to that. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.160 Just another hard hitting, fun game to playing if you're 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.560 in the trenches, Like, did defense. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.840 Take anything extra about going into an enemy territory and 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.560 maybe being motivated by everyone being against you. Is there 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.400 anything that that that fuels you about that everything. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.760 I say, it's satisfying when you take the life out 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.920 of the crowd and uh it goes silent. I've been 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.960 a part of some really good defenses here and we've 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.160 done that on a few occasions. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.720 So that's what you strive for. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.440 And uh, if you can get to a point probably 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.760 third or fourth quarter, where they don't have any momentum 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.800 and that crowd is really silent, that uh, that really 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:15.800 really feels really good. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.920 Yeah, like what how exciting is that to get Marcus 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.640
