1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Uh, just curious, just what were your impressions just of

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: the young defensive line you have to step up obvious

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: stay with injuries, guys like Elijah Riley and and those guys.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: What do you think about their performance?

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought they played, They played hard, you know,

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: some of those guys playing their first regular season NFL snaps.

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Really you know, happy for them and proud of the

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: way they played. And you know, they let you know

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: they were playing with knockback and physicality upfront, and they

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: kind of let you know, the guys in the back end,

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, run and float of the football. So something

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: we can build off of for sure. You know, we're

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: gonna need those guys moving forward for the rest of

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: the year. But yeah, really really happy for them and

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: and proud of the way they played.

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I know last week he told us just about kind

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: of how you said, it's to deal with this losty

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: because you have to give similar to the one in college.

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: So I guess for you guys, now this is now

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: eight games with Elsie Street, how do you try to

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: just try to keep focus and get ready for this

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: game next week? And obviously there's new ways to as

23
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: seems as guys have said already.

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just stay motivated, stay you know, focused on our

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: goal and and uh, you know the task at hand

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: each week. Obviously we got a big one uh coming

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: up here, but you know this is our job and

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: we we got to go out and perform on Sunday

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: and and play for each other. I think that's you know,

30
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: kind of the ultimate message at this point in the year.

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: You know, play for play for the guy next to you,

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: and do your job as best you can.

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: So you know they can play faster.

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Mike, how you doing?

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Hey good?

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: How about you good?

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 4: How did Mouster yesterday? Look he had a tackles you

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: can fit.

40
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: In pretty well.

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I thought Darius played great. You know,

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: he was he was playing fast, he was in the

43
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: right spot, and you know he was physical at the

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: point of attack for sure. Played played up to the standard.

45
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: And you know something we we know he's been doing

46
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: all all year long, and he's just continued to get

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: better with each game and the more experience he's got

48
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: this season. So really happy for him as well. And

49
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, something to build off of

50
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: for sure.

51
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: The other thing I.

52
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: Noticed is you guys seem to have a lot of

53
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: tackles for loss.

54
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: Did you change anything up to create those opportunities?

55
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely, Uh, you know, we had some some

56
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: new fronts in some different looks that you know, they

57
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: they hadn't really seen from us or something we hadn't

58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: put on tape, so you know, just kind of changing

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: the picture. Obviously they were in some heavier personnels with

60
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: you know, who they got out and what they were

61
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: trying to do. So yeah, definitely, you know, the big

62
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: run defense against that team and and something we knew

63
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: we had to we had to do well, and you know,

64
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: I think everybody executed as best they could.

65
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: Thank you, Yeah, Mark Cannetharrow.

66
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: Got thanks for doing this. There's obviously what a season

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 5: goes like this. There's a lot of speculation about about

68
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 5: the coach and the general manager coming back and all that.

69
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.

70
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 5: And you guys don't have an a saying that. But

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: I'm curious what your impression is of of Brian da

72
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 5: Ball and the job he does, and you know what,

73
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 5: what's your what kind of case do you make for

74
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: him for sticking around?

75
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, uh, you know, I love Dave's I you know,

76
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: appreciate what what he's done. For me and him and

77
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: Joe both, you know, bringing bringing me here, believing in

78
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: me and trust me to you know, play within this

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: game and the defense. You know, obviously everybody this this

80
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: year hasn't hasn't been what we wanted and what we

81
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: expect of ourselves. But there's been a lot of close games,

82
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunity out there to flip the script,

83
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: and you just got to stay the course and believe

84
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: in the process. And you know, I think I think

85
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: guys are still focused on that.

86
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: What do you think you're just as a quick follow

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: or are some of the strengths that Dave Ball is

88
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 5: showing in the face of the you know, the difficulties.

89
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: You're dealing with. I think, you know, the team's playing hard.

90
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's still focused and preparing each week, whether they're starters

91
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: or not. Everybody's you know, focused on on the task

92
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: at hand and uh the opponent for each week. And

93
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: we got to continue to do that. It's on the

94
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: players obviously at the end of the day, executing on Sundays.

95
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, just you know, I think everybody's playing hard

96
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: and still believing in what we're doing here.

97
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Michael.

98
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: Fun Paul Schwarth. Hey, Michaeh. How you doing?

99
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Hey good? How about you?

100
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Good?

101
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: Good?

102
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: Couple of things. Have you ever had a game where

103
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: you've had the double digit tackles and almost half felt

104
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: them were full loss?

105
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 5: You know, I don't.

106
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think the closest I had

107
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: was maybe last year against against the forty nine ers. Uh,

108
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: I think I had for tl TFLs. But yeah, this

109
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: was definitely the most most TFLs I've had in one

110
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: game in my career.

111
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: I mean, what what is that? I mean, you know,

112
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: I saw one play where you're running horizontal across the

113
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: whole line free to be able to make a tackle

114
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: behind a line of scrimmage.

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean that is I.

116
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: Guess that's equivalent to a sack for defensive.

117
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: End when you get a guy, you know, you get

118
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: a guy like Alba Kamara a couple of yards behind

119
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: a line of scrimmage.

120
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I give credit to the

121
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: defensive line. The guys who played with knock back up

122
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: front and did their job, stayed in their gaps and

123
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: you know, built the wall so we could you know,

124
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: rip and run on the back end and you know,

125
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: they open up the seams for us to you know,

126
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: to go make those plays in the backfield. So appreciate

127
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: those guys and the way they worked and the preparation

128
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: they did to to get ready to play that game.

129
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: And one more, do you feel you know, you're a

130
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: young veteran, you know, established but young, do you feel

131
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: that you and a lot of your guys in your

132
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: similar situation, that there's a lot of eyes on you

133
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: for how hard you played down the stretch, how well

134
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: you play down the stretch, and you know twenty twenty

135
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: five is coming.

136
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: Sooner than you guys want, probably because of the way

137
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 4: the season's going that you know, there is always someone

138
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: looking at you, and in a bad season, a lot

139
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: of times guys just get wiped out. You know what

140
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying that you need to prove it and these

141
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: guys around you need to prove it that you deserve

142
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: to come back.

143
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the standard every game. This is

144
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: the NFL, and everybody watches every game regardless of the circumstances.

145
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: They're not going to ask what the record was, They're

146
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: gonna ask, you know, why didn't you make this play

147
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: or where were you fitting here? So yeah, I think

148
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: just staying staying focused, staying connected, making sure we're we're

149
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: talking and we're communicating on the field so we can

150
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: all play fast. And but yeah, you know, it's it's

151
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: it's part of the game. And uh, like I said,

152
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: this is the NFL, so we all want to keep

153
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: playing hard and finish out the season the right way
