Speaker 1: What makes what makes sense so hard to get down
Speaker 1: and how much of a challenge is that aspect of
Speaker 1: this game. It's just so big and strong. I mean
Speaker 1: I think he says, um, that's the fact of getting
Speaker 1: him down, you know. I mean he's you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's mobile. I mean when I say that, I mean
Speaker 1: he don't really stramble to run. He's trampling to throw
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's when the guys in front really
Speaker 1: don't have to put a stop watch on their on
Speaker 1: their rush. We just gotta keep keep going until we
Speaker 1: get there, and we just gotta really just gang tackle him.
Speaker 1: So Raham was kind of saying, almost you gotta like
Speaker 1: tackle him like a bear almost, like can have that
Speaker 1: mentality when you're facing different quarterbacks if you kind of
Speaker 1: go through as you're rushing, or even in your game planning,
Speaker 1: be a better technique to tackle a quarterback like this
Speaker 1: where you kind of have to be even more aggressive
Speaker 1: or is it the same approach every week now? I
Speaker 1: think a guy like bad Man, he's you can't like,
Speaker 1: you know, grab at his leg because you can see
Speaker 1: on tape when people at these lives, he's still making
Speaker 1: those throws and we just gotta tackle him, just gotta
Speaker 1: start up top on him and you know, take his
Speaker 1: arms away from that where he either tuck the ball,
Speaker 1: we could um uh sack strips pass game has been
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams. It's kind of really filled in for Levion
Speaker 1: pretty well. What have you seen from from the running attack.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a real patient runner. We've been talking
Speaker 1: about it all week. He finds guys you know that's
Speaker 1: out of their gap, and we got to be patient
Speaker 1: and u you know, real really mentally locked in on
Speaker 1: what we have to do as far as um the
Speaker 1: way we um. You know, we scame him up and
Speaker 1: the guys in front got to stay in the gap,
Speaker 1: like the way you lunch played so far. And I
Speaker 1: think we played good. I think we could be a
Speaker 1: whole lot better. And they start with myself, Um, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I can do a whole lot of things better. Um.
Speaker 1: Just as a group, I think that we all need
Speaker 1: to you know, the second weekend, this is a third
Speaker 1: weekend that everything is really starting to come together. You know,
Speaker 1: the rush plans on third down, on the way we
Speaker 1: um the way were rotating and out of the game,
Speaker 1: guys getting used to it. Whole some SAPs going up
Speaker 1: the drive, getting off on third down is controlling the
Speaker 1: plot because that's had a good thing. Or it would
Speaker 1: rather be out there a little more to kind of
Speaker 1: get into a rhythm a little bit more. No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think I played um the last two games. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, over thirty some snaps each game, and that's
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good number for me to keep me fresh,
Speaker 1: um for all sixteen games and fresh for four quarters.
Speaker 1: I think the US playing a limited amount of snaps
Speaker 1: it's a good thing because, I mean, the offense is
Speaker 1: controlling the clock. How you feel now, how you felt
Speaker 1: for the two games last years. There's a physical how
Speaker 1: much difference? I think it's it's a big difference. But
Speaker 1: being that it is only the second game of the season,
Speaker 1: you really know, you know, sixty sixty five some snaps
Speaker 1: I was playing we were playing last year. I really
Speaker 1: don't catch up until you maybe week nine or ten.
Speaker 1: That's when you really start to feel it. I mean,
Speaker 1: with that in mind, having to play this early, after
Speaker 1: this game, you're not like it as much. I mean,
Speaker 1: it would be nice, nicer to have it like maybe
Speaker 1: week seven, eight, And it's always good to have it
Speaker 1: you know later in the season, really right at the
Speaker 1: halfway points, really what you wanted to do, really want
Speaker 1: when you want the bye week. But I think you know,
Speaker 1: having it early. You know, we got some guys nicked up,
Speaker 1: some key guys nicked up, um offense and defense. So
Speaker 1: um that week, we get that week right there, early
Speaker 1: week to get them hitled up and ready to row.
Speaker 1: Looks like you guys are getting stronger later in games
Speaker 1: into two games. Uh, you guys haven't given up a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the second half yet, I would say, yet,
Speaker 1: you haven't given up one. Uh what is that? Is
Speaker 1: that scheme wise or is that just physically out manning people?
Speaker 1: Why do you think you guys are playing better later?
Speaker 1: I mean at some point and in every game, I
Speaker 1: think that, uh that at first, we always you know,
Speaker 1: I always talk about you know, you know, turnovers and
Speaker 1: you know, putting the offensive position to score. But also
Speaker 1: I think you know us not of not allowing you know, touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Yet in the second half it's you know, it's a
Speaker 1: really good thing. It's a really good thing for their defense,
Speaker 1: which means that you know, either we can turnovers a
Speaker 1: getting you know, three and outs, like you guys are
Speaker 1: more relaxed. It looks like you're having more fun in
Speaker 1: the locker room. It's it's just a lot more relaxed.
Speaker 1: Is that just the perception? Is it really truly that way?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it has to do
Speaker 1: with the fact that a lot of your guys up
Speaker 1: front have been together for quite a while now. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's just a thing that dougs always say
Speaker 1: and be yourself. And I think you know a lot
Speaker 1: of guys in the locker room, such as you know me,
Speaker 1: and you know Benny and Brandon, a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: You know, when we're in the locker room, we're loose
Speaker 1: because that's that's kind of our that's our home away
Speaker 1: from home. That's our that's our place where we you know,
Speaker 1: come together, have fun, joke around. But in the meeting
Speaker 1: room it's a totally different thing. You guys have been
Speaker 1: together so long the d line, I mean, really since
Speaker 1: most of you guys. I mean it's Betty gout here
Speaker 1: with thirteen, so really the whole bunch, she's been together
Speaker 1: at least four years. How much of a how much
Speaker 1: of a benefit is that, both on the field and
Speaker 1: off the field, I mean it's real big because I
Speaker 1: mean collectively we've been together for for a while and
Speaker 1: that we know the communication thing. You know, everybody's understand
Speaker 1: what everybody's good at, and everybody you know what the
Speaker 1: dudes that we can do and can't do. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it all it's a compliment that we've been
Speaker 1: together that long and just basically understanding the game together
Speaker 1: and just going out and just the competition every day
Speaker 1: in practice. Were close knit kind of in the locker
Speaker 1: room out of the building as a group because you're
Speaker 1: really your number four, I mean, Brandon spend yours since
Speaker 1: twenty and ten, any since what twenty and twelve? I mean, well,
Speaker 1: outside of the locker room, of course, we have a
Speaker 1: group takes group takes, and we all communicate there. You know.
Speaker 1: Some guys have families, UM. Some guys you know got
Speaker 1: um you know, um, just really just home guys. But
Speaker 1: we make it that one time out of a week
Speaker 1: where we all get together outside of the building, you know,
Speaker 1: to go bund and hang out with each other. Doug
Speaker 1: and his um, you know. Jordan said someone felt interesting
Speaker 1: at the first game about how because he played in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia he understands pressure of Philadelphia and you've noticed that
Speaker 1: from him, and how does that help you relate to
Speaker 1: him as first Well, I mean he's I think coach
Speaker 1: coach coach UM coach Dougman doing a real great job
Speaker 1: of keeping the team focused, you know on what's important
Speaker 1: and that's um, you know, that's that's the winning part
Speaker 1: and the physicality of of you know, and the mental
Speaker 1: part about being in Philadelphia knowing no um, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what the city like and that's the city
Speaker 1: like us to win and you know us knowing the
Speaker 1: important parts of it as you know, sticking together as
Speaker 1: a team and not important fingers pro bowlers in the
Speaker 1: interior that line Fluch the Castro and uh Poundcy. I
Speaker 1: think of the challenges that line for you guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's good because you know last
Speaker 1: week and they had also had two um two you know,
Speaker 1: all pro guys. When y'are sitting and caw long. UM,
Speaker 1: I think that that Poundcy and and Um David the Castro,
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, two of the better guards
Speaker 1: and centers in the league. And I think it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be another challenge for us this week to get
Speaker 1: pressure um on the quarterback and also um you know
Speaker 1: be fields in the ring game here. Guys, great, thank you.
