Speaker 1: Huh, I know, right, Fletch, you after looking at the
Speaker 1: tape from your own performance perspective, and what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts after that game on my individual performance? Um, I
Speaker 1: don't think really it's about individual um performance. I mean,
Speaker 1: we lost, so I think that that says it all
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction as a team despite being
Speaker 1: two and six eight games. Um, what do you see
Speaker 1: out of the team? Why are you why is he saying?
Speaker 1: Because you know, he know a type of team that
Speaker 1: we have. You know, he know that, you know, he
Speaker 1: knows the kind of guys he got, you know in
Speaker 1: the locker room. You know, he believing us. He knows that. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, everything can start clicking. You know, I think
Speaker 1: we didn't see I think we have seen the worst already.
Speaker 1: So I think it's all good can come from, you know,
Speaker 1: from here on out. You know, he believing us, the
Speaker 1: whole culch and staff believing us, and we just gotta
Speaker 1: be focused and get the job done. How tough is
Speaker 1: it against the quarterback like Aaron who? I mean that
Speaker 1: first half he was getting the ball out from I
Speaker 1: mean in like one point two seconds on the average.
Speaker 1: That tougher for you guys up front to try to
Speaker 1: to put pressure on him when he's when he's when
Speaker 1: the ball's out of there before you know what happened. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: It's tough to on any D lineman, you know, and
Speaker 1: not just um. I think they did a think he
Speaker 1: did a really good job of getting rid of the ball.
Speaker 1: We just had to you know, rally, you know, we
Speaker 1: just had to run to the football and attack of
Speaker 1: the guy with the ball. You know, he you know,
Speaker 1: he's making his reads quick. He was making smart decisions
Speaker 1: and he's making us tackle on the edge. Coming into
Speaker 1: the season, one of people you know said defensive line
Speaker 1: is the strength of this team. But past a month
Speaker 1: or so, havn't had the sack numbers. Uh, the still
Speaker 1: feel that your unit is you know, he's the way
Speaker 1: for victory because team, Yeah, I still think this this
Speaker 1: unit is the defensive line is still you know, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the you know, main parts and important parts
Speaker 1: of the team. That's with any team. But I think again,
Speaker 1: you know, um, winning and losing is most important, and
Speaker 1: we we gotta get on the track, you know, start
Speaker 1: winning football games. You know, I don't think I think
Speaker 1: you know, just a single it just a D line
Speaker 1: out is I mean, we just got to be better
Speaker 1: as a team. I think you know, and we will
Speaker 1: be better as a team. We just gotta have the
Speaker 1: situation and you know, focus and focus in practice, one
Speaker 1: player at a time, and get ready to go to
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on Sunday. The last couple of days been like
Speaker 1: for you. You know, there's been a lot of scrutiny
Speaker 1: and a lot of talk about the way the defense
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get off the field Monday night. You know,
Speaker 1: how have you handled that? Um? Get ready to go
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The game happened Monday night, and we know, um,
Speaker 1: we know how we played as a defense. We know
Speaker 1: what you know, we know that could we be better.
Speaker 1: We know that we can be better. I'm sorry, and
Speaker 1: we know what we gotta do to get better. And
Speaker 1: that's just um, you know, not change nothing that we
Speaker 1: do because we know what type of what type of
Speaker 1: team we are, what type of defense we are. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be aggressive and we get off to you know,
Speaker 1: get after people. Frust rating too, not just because the
Speaker 1: way Rogers got rid of the ball and you're able
Speaker 1: to beat your man. It just seems like there's a
Speaker 1: second or third guy there before you even get a
Speaker 1: chance to get to them. So it's just you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, you could beat your man all day,
Speaker 1: and you know if quarterbacks making quick decisions, smart decisions
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna get hit. And you know most
Speaker 1: quarterbacks make their mind or they're gonna make They know
Speaker 1: what type of um, what type of front we got.
Speaker 1: They know we're really aggressive and we get after the
Speaker 1: quarterback and try to you know, sack him every play.
Speaker 1: You know, every time he dropped back. And you know,
Speaker 1: when the quarterback don't want to be hit, he's gonna
Speaker 1: make his first read, get rid of the ballast. What
Speaker 1: are you see of the Bengals offense this year? What
Speaker 1: are they doing on I mean, I think they do it.
Speaker 1: They do a lot of stuff. Good man, Like you say,
Speaker 1: Andy is you know, I think he's playing really good.
Speaker 1: Um Um, I mean they record, don't I mean, don't
Speaker 1: say the whole lot. But I still think this is
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you know, and you have to approach
Speaker 1: it as you know, um as you know, professionals every
Speaker 1: week gotta respect the other team that you're playing against.
Speaker 1: You're in the game Monday night. That when it developed
Speaker 1: that this was how Rogers was doing it. Were there
Speaker 1: any adjustments that you guys can make or anything that
Speaker 1: you tried to do to limit him more? Oh, I
Speaker 1: mean they didn't have They had no success running football.
Speaker 1: I mean I would think I would say that, I
Speaker 1: think that one data has sucess running football. But you know,
Speaker 1: just the way that you know, Aaron is a fit
Speaker 1: in his game and he's making play, he's making he's
Speaker 1: making checks out the line of streamish to try to
Speaker 1: get them in the best situation, you know, to whatever
Speaker 1: whatever looked that we're giving him, and they did a
Speaker 1: great job at him. Man, you know, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta respect that
