1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: That ain't During the week and a couple of weeks

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: he talked about how how solid your defense has been

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: and how good it's been, but that it can be

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: great and a lot of that had to do with

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: taking the ball away and was tonight's sort of an

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: example of where you guys hope to be.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's funny because you know, Coach Wilkes, he

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: said it last night, he said, you know, you guys

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: don't know how good you truly can be. You know,

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, we see the talent in the room and

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: what our potential is. But it's about doing it, you know,

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: week in and week out. And to do it this

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: game on this stage against a really good football team,

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: I mean, it really meant a lot.

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: I think this sense to the rest of the week

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 3: for team. This is yeah, I mean I don't know,

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: obviously that were.

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: Dangerous, but it's not even about the other teams to us.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, it's all all about us. Every single game,

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: it's all about us. You know.

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: We we understand the opportunity that we have and it's

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: about just taking it one week at a time, regardless

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: of who we're playing. We got to uphold the standard

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: and play to the best of our ability every single game,

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: and if we do that, then we'll like the result.

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: How much does that result impress you?

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: Pretty impressive? Pretty impressive. You know we talked about a

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: dog fight, you know, lead going into this game. We

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: knew Dallas was a really good football team, and uh,

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: you know, when it's your night, it's your night to

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: do it in front of the whole country.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: It was pretty cool.

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: During the week. I know, you guys are playing other

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: team's offense and say you're worried about yourself, But there

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk about Dallas's defense going into

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: this game. Did that stuff get through to your guys

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: ears at all? About how good their defense was supposed

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: to be?

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: I guess the political answer would be not, we don't

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: hear that stuff, But I mean, being being the competitor

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: I am. Of course, I wanted us to be the

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: top defense tonight, and I think we did that.

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: There's a good there's you know, there's a handful of

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: guys in the NFL that people always talked about for

Speaker 3: This kind of.

Speaker 4: you doing all those things, do you think of yourself

50

Speaker 3: I know the calbery player I am.

57
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: I don't need anybody else's uh, you know, recognition or

58
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 2: people to tell me how great I am. I want

59

00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: You know, we know what we have ahead of us

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: and the goals that we've set out for ourselves.

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: All that other stuff take care of itself.

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: When you're just doing things the right way day in

65
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: and day out, you know, it's it's uh, I'm I'm.

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: Just really grateful. And for this moment, seriously, did you

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: think you.

68
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: Got a sense that you were gonna dominate the game

69
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: and was becoming frustrating.

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: For them offense?

71
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: As soon as the offense went down on that first

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: drive and scored, and I was like, we got them.

73
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: You know, that's the way that they're the way that

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: they're operating right now is unbelievable. You know, I've been

75
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: a part of a lot of good teams since I've

76
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: been here, but the way the offense is playing is

77
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: unlike anything I've seen.

78
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: That that that they're right there just lets.

79
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: Me know, as long as the defense is doing our job,

80
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: we're always gonna have a chance.

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: You guys got off to a similar start and it

82
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: was pretty new for that group contending. I mean, and

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: this year, how much do you feel like the last

84
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: few years and then even twenty nineteen it's has shaped you?

85
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: And how different does it feel at this point? Yeah?

86
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: I think as you as you go through your career

87
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: as a coach, as a player, you know, you you

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: learn things along the way. Uh, you get scarred, you know,

89
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: by by adversity and by you know, things that happened

90
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: in your path, and you learn from those things. Right,

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: And so I think you talk about even going into season,

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: how we said we wanted to get off to a

93
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: fast start, you know, because of things that have happened

94
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: in the past, and how we didn't feel like we

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: needed to hit some adversity in order for us to

96
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: be all the way locked in, all the way dialed

97
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: in from the jump, you know, and so those things,

98
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: those are things you learn as you go. And there's

99
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: still things we got to learn, you know, as as

100
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: we continue through this season. To say that we're the

101
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: team that we're gonna be in in December and January, I.

102
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: Don't think so.

103
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: I think we still have a long ways to go,

104
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: and it's all about just living in the moment, taking

105
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: it one week at a time, saying.

106
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: That he felt during the week of practice, he felt

107
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: really good. How you guys were were practicing, h Did

108
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: you feel that or did you Andrey need to get

109
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: his sie or is everybody just locked in from.

110
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: A yeah, everybody was locked in.

111
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm I'm really confident in h In our team, our leadership,

112
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: the way that we operate day in and day out.

113
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: It's no, it's not luck, right, Like, I think these

114
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: things happen for a reason. And I mean we talk

115
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: about the detail and at which we operate day in

116
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: and day out, meetings, walk through practice, all of it is.

117
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: Uh, just for moments like this, right, Thank you? All right? Thanks?

118
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: Got ready
