WEBVTT - Press Pass: Fletcher Cox

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>What makes what makes sense so hard to get down

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and how much of a challenge is that aspect of

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>this game. It's just so big and strong. I mean

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I think he says, um, that's the fact of getting

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>him down, you know. I mean he's you know, he's

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>he's mobile. I mean when I say that, I mean

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>he don't really stramble to run. He's trampling to throw

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball. And that's when the guys in front really

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have to put a stop watch on their on

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>their rush. We just gotta keep keep going until we

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>get there, and we just gotta really just gang tackle him.

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>So Raham was kind of saying, almost you gotta like

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>tackle him like a bear almost, like can have that

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>mentality when you're facing different quarterbacks if you kind of

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>go through as you're rushing, or even in your game planning,

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 1>be a better technique to tackle a quarterback like this

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>where you kind of have to be even more aggressive

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>or is it the same approach every week now? I

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>think a guy like bad Man, he's you can't like,

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, grab at his leg because you can see

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>on tape when people at these lives, he's still making

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>those throws and we just gotta tackle him, just gotta

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>start up top on him and you know, take his

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>arms away from that where he either tuck the ball,

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>we could um uh sack strips pass game has been

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>D'Angelo Williams. It's kind of really filled in for Levion

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. What have you seen from from the running attack.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a real patient runner. We've been talking

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>about it all week. He finds guys you know that's

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>out of their gap, and we got to be patient

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and u you know, real really mentally locked in on

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what we have to do as far as um the

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>way we um. You know, we scame him up and

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the guys in front got to stay in the gap,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>like the way you lunch played so far. And I

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>think we played good. I think we could be a

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>whole lot better. And they start with myself, Um, I think,

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can do a whole lot of things better. Um.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Just as a group, I think that we all need

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to you know, the second weekend, this is a third

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>weekend that everything is really starting to come together. You know,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the rush plans on third down, on the way we

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>um the way were rotating and out of the game,

0:01:55.040 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>guys getting used to it. Whole some SAPs going up

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the drive, getting off on third down is controlling the

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>plot because that's had a good thing. Or it would

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>rather be out there a little more to kind of

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>get into a rhythm a little bit more. No, I mean,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I played um the last two games. Uh,

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, over thirty some snaps each game, and that's

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty good number for me to keep me fresh,

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>um for all sixteen games and fresh for four quarters.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I think the US playing a limited amount of snaps

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a good thing because, I mean, the offense is

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>controlling the clock. How you feel now, how you felt

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>for the two games last years. There's a physical how

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>much difference? I think it's it's a big difference. But

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>being that it is only the second game of the season,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you really know, you know, sixty sixty five some snaps

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I was playing we were playing last year. I really

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>don't catch up until you maybe week nine or ten.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>That's when you really start to feel it. I mean,

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 1>with that in mind, having to play this early, after

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>this game, you're not like it as much. I mean,

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 1>it would be nice, nicer to have it like maybe

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>week seven, eight, And it's always good to have it

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>you know later in the season, really right at the

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>halfway points, really what you wanted to do, really want

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>when you want the bye week. But I think you know,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>having it early. You know, we got some guys nicked up,

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 1>some key guys nicked up, um offense and defense. So

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>um that week, we get that week right there, early

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>week to get them hitled up and ready to row.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Looks like you guys are getting stronger later in games

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>into two games. Uh, you guys haven't given up a

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>touchdown on the second half yet, I would say, yet,

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you haven't given up one. Uh what is that? Is

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that scheme wise or is that just physically out manning people?

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think you guys are playing better later?

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean at some point and in every game, I

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>think that, uh that at first, we always you know,

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I always talk about you know, you know, turnovers and

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, putting the offensive position to score. But also

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you know us not of not allowing you know, touchdowns.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Yet in the second half it's you know, it's a

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>really good thing. It's a really good thing for their defense,

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>which means that you know, either we can turnovers a

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>getting you know, three and outs, like you guys are

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>more relaxed. It looks like you're having more fun in

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. It's it's just a lot more relaxed.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that just the perception? Is it really truly that way?

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if it has to do

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>with the fact that a lot of your guys up

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>front have been together for quite a while now. Well,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just a thing that dougs always say

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and be yourself. And I think you know a lot

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of guys in the locker room, such as you know me,

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>and you know Benny and Brandon, a lot of guys.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, when we're in the locker room, we're loose

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>because that's that's kind of our that's our home away

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>from home. That's our that's our place where we you know,

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>come together, have fun, joke around. But in the meeting

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>room it's a totally different thing. You guys have been

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>together so long the d line, I mean, really since

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>most of you guys. I mean it's Betty gout here

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>with thirteen, so really the whole bunch, she's been together

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>at least four years. How much of a how much

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of a benefit is that, both on the field and

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>off the field, I mean it's real big because I

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>mean collectively we've been together for for a while and

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that we know the communication thing. You know, everybody's understand

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>what everybody's good at, and everybody you know what the

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>dudes that we can do and can't do. So yeah,

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>I think it all it's a compliment that we've been

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>together that long and just basically understanding the game together

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and just going out and just the competition every day

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in practice. Were close knit kind of in the locker

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>room out of the building as a group because you're

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>really your number four, I mean, Brandon spend yours since

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty and ten, any since what twenty and twelve? I mean, well,

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>outside of the locker room, of course, we have a

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>group takes group takes, and we all communicate there. You know.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Some guys have families, UM. Some guys you know got

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>um you know, um, just really just home guys. But

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>we make it that one time out of a week

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>where we all get together outside of the building, you know,

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>to go bund and hang out with each other. Doug

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and his um, you know. Jordan said someone felt interesting

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>at the first game about how because he played in

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia he understands pressure of Philadelphia and you've noticed that

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>from him, and how does that help you relate to

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>him as first Well, I mean he's I think coach

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>coach coach UM coach Dougman doing a real great job

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>of keeping the team focused, you know on what's important

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's um, you know, that's that's the winning part

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>and the physicality of of you know, and the mental

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>part about being in Philadelphia knowing no um, you know,

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what the city like and that's the city

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like us to win and you know us knowing the

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>important parts of it as you know, sticking together as

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a team and not important fingers pro bowlers in the

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>interior that line Fluch the Castro and uh Poundcy. I

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>think of the challenges that line for you guys. I mean,

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's it's good because you know last

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>week and they had also had two um two you know,

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>all pro guys. When y'are sitting and caw long. UM,

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that that Poundcy and and Um David the Castro,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that, you know, two of the better guards

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and centers in the league. And I think it's it's

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be another challenge for us this week to get

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.680

0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>be fields in the ring game here. Guys, great, thank you.

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:10.720
