Hopefully it don't don't get 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: rained out or nothing like that, so hopefully we could 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: just you know, be in a stadium in the whole time. 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Just as a follow up, do you look at it 30 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: as a test runner for yourself with with the calling 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: the plays and the helmet and getting guys you know 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: in that setting. Uh No, I mean I see it 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: as the same, um, you know, as as obviously we're 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna have some some people in the stands. But um, 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: it's just kind of another another practice, um, to to 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: be able to um, you know, communicate the calls and 37 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: do what I gotta do, um, you know, to make 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: sure we execute on defense. But like I said, it's 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Um, I'm looking forward to it. Everybody 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: else is too, so UM, you know we're just ready 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: for that time. Thanks first back, So if you're how 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: effective do you expect this defense to be this year. Um, 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: very effective. Uh. Like I said before, I mean, we 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: we got a lot of playmakers on our defense. Um, 45 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that could do a lot of 46 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: things very well. Um. And you know we got a 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: great defensive coordinator um calling the calls. So UM, it's 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Um. You're gonna see a lot of 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: guys flying around, a lot of guys making plays and 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: getting after the ball. So um. You know that's something 51 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: we pride ourselves on as a defense. So um, you 52 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be fun. And um, you know we're 53 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: still working. I mean we're still getting better and improving. Um, 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: but you know we're gonna have a lot of fun 55 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: with it. Do do you think the new defense has 56 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: given you and the rest of your teammates more creativity? Yeah? 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: I think so, I think Uh. Uh you know I've 58 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: said it before. Um of just uh kind of letting 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: us play loose, let us play free, um, you know, 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: not not being afraid to to make a mistake or 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: mess up or um you know have an Emmy or 62 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: or you know, uh have a pass completed on you. Um. 63 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: And you know Wink has done a great job or 64 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: relaying that to us UM, and you know communicating that 65 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't really you know, if you have 66 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: an emmy or if somebody catches on you, you you know, 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: it's the next play mentality for us UM, and that's 68 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: how we treat it. UM. I think we have a 69 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: really resilient group. UM, A lot of guys that you know, 70 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, if something bad happens, we just move on 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: to the next play and keep playing and UM, you know, 72 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: try to try to get the ball back for our offense. 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: So that's the ultimate goal for us UM. So you know, 74 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: it's like I said, it's gonna be fun UM, and 75 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: we're not too worried about you know, UM, if anything 76 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: bad happens, we just know we gotta keep playing tom Rock. 77 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: They're kind of a big picture question, uh, that you're 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna be in front of the fans tonight, at this 79 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: time of year whatever. There's fans their practice, they always 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: seem to cheer for the offense, and when the defense 81 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: makes a big play, it's almost met with groans because 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: the offense failed. I was wondering how you guys on defense, 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: if you notice that, if how you how you react 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: to it that the fans that at this point of 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: the season seems to be predominantly rooting for the offense. 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Dad say, defense plays championships. Uh, but now I think, um, 87 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, like the game is obviously, uh offensive game. 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: Obviously people want to see a lot of touchdowns. Um. 89 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: But we know, like as the defense, we gotta out 90 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: there and execute and play defense. So we don't really 91 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: I mean we don't. We don't really worry about like 92 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: if if we make a play and they don't and 93 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: nobody gets to site it. Um. We know obviously we're 94 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: still pricing against each other too, so in the games 95 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: when we make those plays, we know our fans are 96 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: gonna go wild for it for us when we make 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: those plays on the defensive side and same one offensive side. 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, we're practicing against each other. Um, 99 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: and obviously we're competing, so we don't. We don't too 100 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: much worry about you know that stuff. We just try 101 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: to go out there and compete with one another.
