1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: A lot of adversity overcome today. How important is a 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: win like this for you in your program and putting 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: a corner piece into the foundation a. 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: Huge ability to stay the course. You know you're winning 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: the game for the majority of it. They obviously got 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 2: and tied it up. But even though obviously not playing 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 2: our best football offensively, defense kept us in it and 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: they played their tails off offensively, found a way to 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: have seventy five yards rushing in the second half, which 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: obviously we didn't have much in the first ETM played 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: his tail off and then those guys make a play 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: at the end of the game versus zero blitz and 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: it got it, you know, in a huge moment. So 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: very proud of this group. They played their tails off 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: and kept competing. 16 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: Coach. 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: The resilience factor, not just with Brian Thomas and the 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: receivers with all the drops, but also the defense. Yeah, 19 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 3: I had a chance to put it away late last week, 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: came back and did it this week. What kind of 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: confidence can that build for such a young roster. 22 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: Huge They should take so much confident from this, and 23 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: especially defensively, as you mentioned, Tyson Campbell you know gets 24 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: hit on the double move and then comes back right. 25 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: It makes a huge play playing through the hands on 26 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: a potential explosive play. You know the fact that we 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: take the ball away as much as we have and 28 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: give us so many opportunities to go and have extra possessions. 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: You know, you talk about finishing a game the right way. 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it was not pretty. It was not for 31 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: us offensively, but you can take, we can take, and 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: we should take a ton of confidence from this to 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: to go clean up. We got to clean up the mistakes. 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: We got to play better and work on the drops 35 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: and all that. But man, I'm really proud of this 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: group in the way that they competed and finish this game. 37 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 4: Specifically for Brian obviously the drops. Early he's getting booed, 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 4: throws his helmet on the sideline. How big was that 39 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: forty six yard catch? Hues, you saw all the emotion 40 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 4: he afterwards. I mean, just had to get him on 41 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 4: the right track totally. 42 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: I mean I thought it was trending. You know, early 43 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: on he goes up on the fade and he makes 44 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: a great effort and you're like, dang, okay, even come 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: down with it. But man, like it looks like it's 46 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: obviously trending. And then I thought when we had the 47 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: third and I think it was like fourteen where we 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: had the illegal shift where he caught he had a good, big, 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: big time catch. I think that would have got him going. 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: It was like every time he had an opportunity to 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: almost get things rolling, something negative occurred. So you know, 52 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: just talk to him in the locker room and just 53 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: you know, really proud of the way that he finished. 54 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: You know, that was a huge play in a big 55 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: time moment, so you know, we got to get it 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: cleaned up. But he should absolutely take confidence from that 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: play and be able to continue to go forward. 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 5: Ali, Jordan Lewis continues to make big plays for you guys. 59 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 5: Is it kind of hard to really measure the impact 60 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 5: he's had on a defense last year that really was 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 5: kind of lost. 62 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely, he is, you know, by far, one of you know, 63 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: one of our best leaders in our organization. Was in 64 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: my office Wednesday morning at you know, seven am talking 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: to me about some things and the mentality that Jordan 66 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: has that he competes with, that he spreads his word 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: and our word to the rest of the guys. He's infectious, 68 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: he really is. He's a he's a pros pro. But 69 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: he's not going to just be quiet about it. I mean, 70 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: he wants to reach everybody that he's involved with, not 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: not just the defense, offense and teams. So he's really 72 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: proud of Jordan's can't you know, so happy to have 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: him obviously, but you know, he's definitely a catalyst for us. 74 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: When you're just starting as a new head coach, what 75 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 5: does a win like this do for you when it's 76 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: not going right but then all of a sudden at 77 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 5: the end it does. 78 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it had some You had a little bit of 79 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: an eerie feeling, almost kind of like last week in 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: a way where you're like, oh god, you know they're 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: moving it a little. But I actually I was kind 82 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: of a little no, I don't want to say yelling 83 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: during that last drive, but I was probably a little frustrated, 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: and Camp is like, dude, we got it, relax, you 85 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: know what I mean? But it was great. It was 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: gave me confidence and the way that they were playing. 87 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 2: I wasn't questioning whether they were going to get a stop, 88 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: but you're starting to see it get moved down the field. 89 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: But there's no flinch really out of that group. I 90 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: mean last week was obviously disappointed to not finish it 91 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: on the right end and to see them go out 92 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: and take this win, to go take it from them, 93 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: and that's what we did. Hey William, three games now 94 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: seeing Josh now in action and today obviously with the tip. 95 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: At the end, just what have you seen from him 96 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: and how important has he been to this defense? 97 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 5: Huge. 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: I mean, like we kind of said during the week, 99 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: it hasn't quite shown in every stat book, but his 100 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: presence what he does in terms of affecting the game, 101 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: both in the run in the past has been and 102 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: really something that's helped us out to get other people 103 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: to be able to get pressures and the way that 104 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: he affects the game, but also just his practice habits, 105 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: man like, the way Josh practices, the way that he 106 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: is in the meeting setting, the way that he lifts, 107 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: the way that he does everything is really what we're 108 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: trying to continue to do as a program and really 109 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: proud and happy for that defense, especially for Josh. 110 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: And Josh was incredibly consistent from the start, had a 111 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: hit on Stroud I think on their second play, drew 112 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: numerous holds. It just seemed like throughout the entire game, 113 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and then obviously makes the tip at the end that 114 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Antonio gets to pick on, but just can you talk 115 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: about how rare it is to see a defensive end 116 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: effect a game from basically the first play to the last. 117 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: That's a great point he did. He was they started fast. 118 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: I mean, we elected to defer for kind of that reason. Honestly, 119 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: it was just to kind of get our defense out 120 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: there and let them go start fast and affect the game. 121 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: And those guys did that Josh the length. But it's 122 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: also it's just his strain and the way. I'm not 123 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: taking anything away from his athletic ability, his talents, how 124 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: hard he's worked, but it's the way that he plays 125 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: his strain, his finish even if he doesn't win on 126 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: a rush, he does. Those guys really up front and 127 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: all done a nice job of getting their hands up 128 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 2: and affecting the past game in different ways. So really, 129 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: I mean, he was pretty emotional in there and excited 130 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: and juiced up. So hopefully it's a sign to keep 131 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: moving forward. Liam wooded to say to you the running game, 132 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 2: just being able to get it going in the second 133 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: half after starting a little slow. Yeah, I mean early 134 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: in the first half, we had a bunch of runs called, 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: and then they had some blitzes and different look They 136 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: came out in a five big package to our twelve personnel, 137 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: which was unscouted. We need to do adjust to that 138 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: at halftime, which we did, and obviously we're able to 139 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: get it going a little bit. I probably had too many, 140 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: you know, so some of those runs and eleven personnel, 141 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: they're bringing Petrie off the edge, and we had some 142 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: screens and some things. The one that was tipped earlier 143 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: in the game when we were on like the minus 144 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: thirty that was verse zero. That thing was gonna be 145 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: a huge play, but we didn't end up getting it. 146 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: So called a lot more runs that ended up getting 147 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: actually executed just because of some of the defensive structures 148 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: and looks that they were presenting. And then in the 149 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: second half, like I said, I thought our coaches did 150 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: a nice job adjusting, communicating those adjustments and being able 151 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: to get some dirty yards in the second half when 152 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: we needed to run the ball. 153 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 5: Trevor seems frustrated at times with guys not being lined 154 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 5: up right. Yeah, he's not getting in quick enough. But yeah, 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 5: how do you think he fought through all that? 156 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Diami goes down, right, and we 157 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: were kind of going into this week, this game with 158 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: a little bit more for Parker based off of last 159 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: week right in the way that he practiced all week, 160 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: and you know, we kind of catch the drop bug 161 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, and so your confidence just as a quarterback, right, Like, 162 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: it wasn't the timing and rhythm, some of this stuff 163 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: wasn't on. Wasn't there early, and then when it is there, 164 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: you know we're not catching it, and then so you 165 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: start to force it a little bit. Specifically that third 166 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: down you know, interception probably a force but man I 167 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: was very proud that. Yeah, he was frustrated. We're all 168 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: frustrated on the sidelines and communicating, but there really was 169 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: none of this at all. It was just accountability. Let's 170 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: just go play the next play. And then in a 171 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: critical moment, that play to BT was all Trevor in 172 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: terms of the can like that was a run play 173 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: that they had saw blitz on zero blitz. He gets 174 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: out of the play we had a run on. He 175 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: gets out of it, fixes the protection, picks it up, 176 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: and then we execute the you know, kind of skinny 177 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: that we had in there, and BT comes ripping in 178 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: the window, he delivers it on time. I mean, yeah, 179 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: it was a very frustrating outing and a lot of ways, man, 180 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: But I'm hoping and we're hopeful that a moment like 181 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: this can maybe do this for us and help us 182 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: go to the next level in terms of understanding truly 183 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: what it takes to throw and catch at a consistent level. 184 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: All right, guys, Thank you, guys.
