1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: What do you lose as a defense when gabral is

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: not on the field. Oh? Man, Um, honestly, he's the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: energy guy. Uh, you know, he brought up. He brings

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: a lot of energy to the group, positivity, motor, um,

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: things like that. So I mean you try to know,

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: you gotta like feel that void, you know what I mean. So, Um,

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: obviously he's an amazing player and we we obviously uh

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: would love to have him play, but now someone else

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: has to kind of take on that role and do

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: have that responsibility just to be that guy. Um. You

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: know that's why you know, you have you have a

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: second team or you have backup guys that can feel

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: that role. Can you can you do the obviously you're

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: not gonna play safety, but maybe you can't have to

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: play safety. Can you do the uh the energy stuff? Definitely? Um,

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: you know I try to bring it all the time,

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: you know. Like I said in previous times, the Delon

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: tries to be those guys who who says the tone

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: every day, who brings the energy, who has you know,

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: try to lead everybody from from efforts and and and

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: running to the ball and things like that. Last year

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: was was a rough year. This year you're now sitting

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: at at oh and three. UM, I'm wondering what's what's

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: the mental state of the team in your opinion, and

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: how you sort of viewing the the oh and three

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: at this point. Um. The mental state, Uh, obviously we

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: want to win. UM. So the mental state is trying

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: to get a win in any in any way necessary.

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: And you know it's no one's is uh like beating

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: himself up about it. You know, we're just we're taking

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: these as lessons that we have to we learn from

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and you know, see how to improve every week. Um.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, we can't do anything about the past or

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: the past games. We only can do something about who

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: we played this which is the RAMS. And you know

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of the mindset that that we got to

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: have and that we do have. And we've been having

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: a good week of practice and you know, just see

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: where it goes from there. Patrick was talking to us

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: today and we were to skin him about things like

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, getting off the field on third down and

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, the miscommunications at times, and he kept on saying,

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: it's on me, It's on me, it's on me. I

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: mean he never threw anybody under the bus. So I

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: mean is that the player is like that or with

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: it'd rather you know, some guys said, hey, look they

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: screwed up or whatever. I believe it's it's on all

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: of us. We all in it together. Um, you know,

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: it shows a kind of person he is, you know,

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: taking it for the team. But my eyes is on

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: all of us, and you know, we just gotta have

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: the attitude that we're getting off no matter what. You know,

53
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: that's just how we got to approach every third down,

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: and and that's how we That's how the attitude has

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: been in practice, and that's how I got to carry

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: over to the game, and and that's how we get

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: off on third down. We don't we don't. We don't

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: want to be the last lead. Whatever we are the

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: statistics says, but our goal is just to do everything

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: we can just to get off on that down. Don't

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: leave me, hey, decks. A couple of things. First the

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: screen There was the screen pass against the forty niners,

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: and then there was the end around touchdown against the

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: forty nights. It seemed like they had you with some misdirection.

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Was that was there a problem? Were you guys and

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe identifying some stuff? Why did you guys have some

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: some trouble in the open space. Uh touchdowns there. Um,

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: it was more that that was good on their part

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: setting those plays up. Obviously, it takes all the eleven

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: of defense to stop to start the ball and one

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: guy out of out of this gap or out of leverage.

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: It can lead to things like that, and you know

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just what we have to Uh, you know,

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: find find out, find out like the next day, found

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: out how that happened. Don't let it happen again. And

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: then uh on the other side, and know you won't

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: be going against him. But as a guy who plays

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: defensive line, did you grow up watching a lot of

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald where you and Aaron Donald's fan, Um I was,

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I was. He's an amazing player and um everybody watches

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: him if you don't even play his position. So um,

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: you know our game is a little different. Like I'll

83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: see some things that he does well that I can

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, put in my game. But um, I grew up.

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: I grew up watching him and a lot of other guys.

86
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: But uh, tomorrow, I mean Sunday whenever, Um, you know

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: he's I'm gonna be going against him, and you know

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: it would be fun. Douggy, Hey, Tax, you're obviously a

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: guy who plays inside when you face the team like

90
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: the Rams, who you know, run so much outside, Like,

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: how do you still make a big impact on the

92
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: run game? Uh, just getting knocked back, being disruptive, um,

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: not not letting not letting them out leverage me or

94
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: attack me, me being an attacker. Um, that's just kind

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: of that's been that's been the mindset of the whole

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: the line this week, and that's how that's how we're

97
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to play and make the ball and set

98
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: the edges and make the ball cup back inside. M

99
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: m mmmmmmmm
