1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: I saw you blowing kisses to the crowd. Is that

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing after the safety? Yeah? I was joking

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: around with one of the fans in the crowd H

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: pre game. So then after I got a safety I

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: was doing it again to him. So you were joking around,

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: So what was the exchange? Like? Um, I think like

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: while we were out there pregame warm up stuff, he

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: was like kind of doing that like how I did

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: like H last game, and instead of doing it back,

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I just like blow them kisses and then and then

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: then when I got the safety, I did it again

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: to him. Yeah. How much of the defense need this

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: game like this? Well? This is a big time. You know,

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: as a as a unit, we kind of talked about,

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, putting a team on our back more and

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: how you know this is our our team is you

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: know what we think is our team is built around

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, we take pride in being a

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: defensive team, and you know, so far this year we

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: haven't really been stepping up to the plate. And you know,

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a really big game for you know,

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: we didn't allow any touchdowns and you know we're putting

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: an offense in some good field position and we closed

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: the game out like we wanted to. What was the

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: biggest difference? What did you do differently? Um, I think

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: we did a good job on first and second down.

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: That was probably the biggest difference to me. So it

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: allowed us to get in some good third down situations

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: where we were able to pass rush and then also actually, um,

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, be successful at the pass rush. You know,

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I think I don't remember how many times we got

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: them down, but at least six times, I think, and um,

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think, like I said, it was the

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: the first and second downs that helped us get in

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: those situations. Leonard Logan said that coming in this week,

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: you guys kind of hurt Matt Rules say that they

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: wanted to establish their offensive. I danity might running the

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: phone took that as a challenge. Did you feel the

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: same way as Logan? New right, it's kind of been

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: a talk um a little bit this week. But at

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: the same time, you don't you don't want to over

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: commit to something because then they could they obviously have

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: other parts of their fense, you know, So we weren't

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: focusing too much on it. We knew that it was

45
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: something that we um as a unit had to focus

46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: on stopping the run, regardless of if they said that

47
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: they were going to run the ball or not. We knew,

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, focusing on ourselves that that was something that

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: we needed to do. Um. So you know, it wasn't

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: really as much about them. It was more like what

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: can we do to be better in instead of you know,

52
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: what can we you know, we weren't trying to adjust

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: on and then we were trying to fix ourselves. Do

54
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: you feel about them? Two quarterback sacks were just going

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: through your mind? Um, the safety was pretty big. I

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: was excited about that. We were talking about getting points

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: on defense and uh, you know, getting turnovers and stuff

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: like that, and you know that was points and turnover.

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: So I think that was pretty big play. But you know, overall,

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I was just excited about the energy that the guys

61
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: are playing with today and how you know, when I

62
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: make a play, I love, you know, just seeing how

63
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: much of energizes as the environment. You know, the crowd

64
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: gets crazy, that the players get hype, and you know,

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I love feeding off my teammates and I love when

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: they could feed off of me as well. I see

67
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: the chemistry, chemistry building with the young guys Raymond Johnson

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and Use. I mean, those guys are definitely stuffing up.

69
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, Raymond Johnson was one of the guys that

70
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I said was going to be a sleeper this year. Um,

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, he hasn't beginning as many snaps as these obviously,

72
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he's had a great day today on

73
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: the field. And and Raymond also went in there when

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: his when his name was called and stepped up. I

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: think he got a half a sack, I think, And uh,

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy for both of them, young guys.

77
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: How much do you guys do this? Defense is like

78
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: a springboard type game. How do you how much do

79
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: you guys do this as a defense is sort of

80
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: a game where you can build on and play like

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: this consistently. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the biggest

82
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: word is consistently. Um, you know, it's something that we

83
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: can definitely build on, but we have to be consistent

84
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: with it. Um, you know, we can. We can't take

85
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: any falloffs next week. Obviously, teams are gonna make plays

86
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: at time. So I think the biggest thing that we

87
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: have to do is to learn how to adjust when

88
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: that big player happens. And and don't think that you

89
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: know it's over and and uh, you know it's just

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: stay poised. Man, did you what do you think of

91
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: the promotion? I was a little bit of a superheroes

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: fan growing up. How do I can't name too many things,

93
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: so I don't question me on it, but but I

94
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: was hyped to see the little I kept one of

95
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the little comic books and had some of those guys

96
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: signed it for me, like Logan and say Kwant and

97
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: those guys, And that's definitely gonna be something I show

98
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: my kids one day. Was the thing last week was

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: a problem last week? Right? Did you guys? What did

100
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you guys do specifically to address that? If it's something,

101
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: how did you work on it this week? I think

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: it was just more just pointed out and more emphasis

103
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: on it and practice. Um, you know, even when we're

104
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: not in full pads and there's not much contact and

105
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: practice it's more like making sure your feet and your

106
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: body are in good position to make the tackle. And

107
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: I think just overall, like the focus on that was

108
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: hyped up this week
