Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead, Fred, How do you put this
Speaker 1: one into perspective? Yeah, I mean I'm always just gonna
Speaker 1: look at defensively not good enough. Uh I. I really
Speaker 1: don't have anything to say about big picture or anything
Speaker 1: like that. It's just I'm you know, I'm just speaking
Speaker 1: on the game. I we did some things good, we
Speaker 1: did some things not good. Penalties killed us. Not taking
Speaker 1: the ball away and you know, one take away in
Speaker 1: the last five games. It's just not gonna get it done.
Speaker 1: You know. I challenged the defense at at half saying
Speaker 1: we needed to take the ball away to win the game,
Speaker 1: and we didn't do that, you know, and I I
Speaker 1: put that on myself. I I put that on you know.
Speaker 1: Just gotta continue to keep challenging the guys. I can
Speaker 1: only speak defensively at the end of the day. And
Speaker 1: how much did it deflate you guys or you know,
Speaker 1: hurt to see Dre go out so early in this game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course we we see the difference, right uh er
Speaker 1: r you know from last game when he's out there
Speaker 1: and and uh that's my guy. I love going out
Speaker 1: there and battle with him. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's about saving dre from himself sometimes too.
Speaker 1: You know, he's coming back from a a major injury
Speaker 1: and everybody looks at last game and how how great
Speaker 1: he was, and it's like that's not normal. You know,
Speaker 1: he he's dealing with something significant. So we got to
Speaker 1: just protect him fro himself. Sometimes you are, how are
Speaker 1: a serious? Your chance to talk to him? Yeah, he's down,
Speaker 1: he's down here. I mean Dre built built the right way.
Speaker 1: Like he he wants to be out there. He wants
Speaker 1: to help us win games. And that's my brother. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like I said, we gotta
Speaker 1: we gotta hold him, hold him back from hurt himself more.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously focused on this game, but he wanted
Speaker 1: the few players on this team who was here for
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when it was here, and I think
Speaker 1: that's the last time at the point I was played
Speaker 1: in this building. Did did you ever that Iver Rander
Speaker 1: in your mind it all today? Not really, you know,
Speaker 1: I guess when we first walked in and just see
Speaker 1: in the locker room better than that, it really didn't
Speaker 1: have any significance. You You and Nick had said that
Speaker 1: you're eager to see what the energy levels like over
Speaker 1: these last few games. M what was that like today?
Speaker 1: What was the energy on den? It was right? It
Speaker 1: was right. I mean from the get go, you could
Speaker 1: you could feel it like we we came out with
Speaker 1: the right intention. I think all across the board everybody
Speaker 1: had their mind made up that we were gonna come out,
Speaker 1: we were gonna, uh set the tone early. But I
Speaker 1: mean it's a four quarter football game. That that raw
Speaker 1: ros stuff only lasts so long. You gotta you gotta play,
Speaker 1: you know, Simon sound execute at a high level. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I look at you know,
Speaker 1: defensively just the I f I I keep looking at it.
Speaker 1: The takeaways is the difference, you know, we when we
Speaker 1: don't take the ball away, it's gonna be hard to win.
Speaker 1: And rather pretty out there being with Ding next to you,
Speaker 1: it's great. I loved I love playing alongside him. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a young player, but he plays the right way,
Speaker 1: you know it. I know he's I know he's bang.
Speaker 1: Everybody's banged up right now. I but I like taking
Speaker 1: the field. I love taking the de the field d
Speaker 1: every single time, MM, were you lait hit? You know
Speaker 1: he's by the defense. Any comment on those some of
Speaker 1: the 'om team. Maybe a little bit ticky hacky. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I can't comment on comment on
Speaker 1: it too much, but you know, we're obviously gonna play
Speaker 1: a a a style of play where we're gonna try
Speaker 1: and finish with the ball every single snap. There's a
Speaker 1: there's a smart way to go about it. Go about it,
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, if you get
Speaker 1: a penalty called on you, you're wrong. You know I
Speaker 1: I that's that's just what it is. That's good. Thanks
Speaker 1: for me, Thanks that for thank you going
