1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: I might need walk on music. That's messing with Nikomalley

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: on the left. First off, Matthew, I like the look.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: First off, appreciate you man. Well you just stay giving

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: me compliments, and he appreciate that. Man. Now, as an

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: NFL someone on NFL defense, you know, changing up and

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: keep disguising looks on defense is a huge part of

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: keeping the other team off balance. Is that what led

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: to the decision to go from the blue sleeves pregame

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: to the red sleeves when he came out for the game. Uh,

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: that question been asked? An answer, you gotta look on Twitter.

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: I think it's on Twitter. Gotta look on Twitter and

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you get that answer. But you know, you know, I

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: ain't never gonna let y'all know what I'm doing, so

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: you already know that. Matthew up. What changed for you

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: guys today in the red zone? Obviously they were over

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: three and you guys stopped them every time in pass

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: games when it was Baltimore was five for five, Green

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Babes three for four. I know situational football is very

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: important to coach Ballichick. What change for you for you guys?

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: What was working for you guys today in the red zone. Honestly,

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: we just executed. I think going through uh those two games,

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: if you look, it was just one person here, one

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: person there, and Um, today we just executed and we

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: went out there and every man excuse me, every man

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: was one of eleven and uh did his job. And

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: matt Uh, you guys were dominant on front today honestly.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Obviously specifically you had four hits on golf, two sacks,

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: the strip sack that led to the touchdown. Um. The

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: lines have a really really good you know front and

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: on their offensive line. What what made you guys be

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: able to be so successful today? Co Uh, they do

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: have a good line. Uh, but I'm taking whoever we

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: lined up and put their hand a dirt over anybody.

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Uh ouch and Wyse uh DG Carl LG. Ball Moore,

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking us over any So Uh all respects today

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: offensive line and through offensive lines throughout the league, but

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: we kind of really don't care, and so we're gonna

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: go out there and do our job. A Matthew, Um,

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: what does it mean to this defense to do what

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: you did today with over six on four thounds and

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: pitching the shut out combined? Uh, it just means we

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: got to win. And Uh, as much as we want

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: to ride in this game or build off this game, UH,

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: next week is gonna be different. And we got to

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: show up again next week. And so H like I said,

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta take it one week at a time.

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: And it's difficult in it's league to win games. And

48
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: uh that's what we had to do. We had to

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: pitch a shutout. And we know that the offense got

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: our back and we got the back. So when we

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: can get them the ball back U any fashion, that's

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: what we want to do. Matthew, their offensive big chunk

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: of the yard that's coming in yards after contact in

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: the rushing game, yards after the catch in the passing game,

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: and you guys seem to tackle exceptionally well today and

56
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: limit them to the yardage after contact. Devin mentioned that

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: this week there's a bit of a change up in

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: practice that you guys did not have pads on Wednesday

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: and thought that was helpful. Would you agree? And why so?

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I think it was helpful. This is a tough sports

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: as you can see, and uh, it just allowed us

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: an extra day to get our bodies back right but

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: mentally and going through to walk through and everything like that.

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Whe was mentally locked in and so when you when

65
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: you're able to rest your body and sharpen your mind, uh,

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: and the two work. Well, that's what That's something you

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: gotta do. And we took advantage of it, and we

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: came out here and played very well. Matt. Can you

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: describe what you see in an opponent after you've stopped

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: them on fourth down and conversely what it feels like

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to come off the field with the momentum that that creates. Uh?

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I don't be hearing what the opponent looked like.

73
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I'll be trying to celebrate with my teammates, especially when

74
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: we have big plays like that Quan play or right

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: up the middle that's a very physical play. Uh, And

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: then just just a couple other plays like you know,

77
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: batting balls down ap on the outside, Like I'm going

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: to celebrate with my teammates and I don't really care,

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, they defense running on the field and

80
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: we're running off and we celebrate it. And Uh, that's

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: just kind of how you got to keep the momentum

82
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: of the game. Man. When when a play like that

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: happens on the fourth down and it's fourth and one,

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: fourth and two like that, and you get a big

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: play like that, man, you go celebrate. You go celebrate

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: because you know, you don't know how much time you

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: have in this league, and you and you take those Hey,

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: Matt over here, Yeah right, we're here, all right, all right,

89
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: all right? Speaking of big plays on fourth down, Um,

90
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: you know that fourth and nine where you got the

91
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: stre sack. I mean, was there a little bit of

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: extra juice knowing that you were going to have an

93
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to pin years back and after the passer And

94
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: then when you make the play, how big is that?

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the game's kind of still in the balance,

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: and then the defense is the one that really breaks

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: the game open with that play. As a as a defense,

98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: you want to pressure on you. Whether it's in a

99
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and you need to stop or a play

100
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: on fourth down, you want to pressure on you. So

101
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: we embrace that as a defense, and we have plays,

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: we have plays called and put in until allow me

103
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: to just to go. And then sometimes I got a

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: running game or loop and things of that nature. But

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: when I get those calls and I hear those calls,

106
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited, you know, but I don't I don't take

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: any play for granted, right, So I tell I play

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: full speed, try to full tilt. But when I know

109
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I get to go, it's a little extra get off

110
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: off the line, just because I know my defense. Going

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: back regarding the back on the left, Hey, Matthew, First

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: of all, um, your reaction to you set a team

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: record today with sacks through five games. Your reaction to that?

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: But also we saw you dominate for a large portion

115
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: of last year. What's your mindset as far as going

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: the distance all seventeen games, doing that from start to

117
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: finish this year? Uh? Well, on the second question, I

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of already told y'all, I gotta

119
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: say condition and healthy, all right, And so when I

120
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: can do that, and uh, I can play, uh like

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: I do first game in last game the same, I

122
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: thinks I'm a different person. And so if I stay

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: in condition and healthy, I think I'll be able to

124
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: play throughout the year at a high level. Uh. And

125
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Then as far as the first question, I forget your

126
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: first question honestly, where it was it. I mean, I'm

127
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: just out here to win games, honestly, saying second records

128
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: that's nice and having having your name remember or a call. Uh,

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: that's lovely, and that's why we played this game as individuals.

130
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: But I'm always on the team, like if we if

131
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: we get to win, if we don't get to win,

132
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: that's what I really care about. And we got to

133
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: win and a defense pitch of shout out, So I'm

134
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: happy about that. Matt back over here, UM, you mentioned

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: the play REQUI made. Can you just take me through

136
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: what you saw on that stop? And then the next

137
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: fourth down stop. I think it was a golf completion

138
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: deep over the end zone. Uh. I was on the

139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: sideline and uh when I seen Quan play and I

140
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: was on the sideline thinking like a Kuan hit, like

141
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: hit the gap, like it's gonna be open, It's gonna

142
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: be there, and uh he read it on the field

143
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: and he sparked, and uh he made he made a

144
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: good clean tackle. And that's a big play because uh

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: it's one on one. That was a one on one

146
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: tackle and he could have failed for one extra yard.

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I think it was fourth and one. They could have failed,

148
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: but he uh, he moved them backwards. And that's uh

149
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: for for Kwan to get out there uh and play

150
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: like that, that's big for our defense and that's gonna

151
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: be big moving forward. Uh, just for his confidence, you know,

152
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: and just getting back into the swing of things than

153
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all. Guy,
