Speaker 1: He's the different first two series of the games, the
Speaker 1: ball down you know, just how much to lift did
Speaker 1: it give you guys? Just kick them out against Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I felt like they were having their way or early.
Speaker 1: You know, it's we we knew coming in that we
Speaker 1: had to stop the run game. I think we did
Speaker 1: a great job of that all through that throughout the game.
Speaker 1: You know, they had some some big third down conversions
Speaker 1: there on those first couple drives, uh, throwing the ball
Speaker 1: to eleven and uh, I mean I can't speak enough
Speaker 1: to holding them to three on those in those red
Speaker 1: zone uh ops that they had. You know, I think
Speaker 1: the game plan that we had, especially down there in
Speaker 1: the red zone was on point. You know, it was
Speaker 1: just about executing, uh, making sure that Jalen didn't beat
Speaker 1: us with his legs down there, you know, cause they
Speaker 1: obviously loved to to run him down there and in
Speaker 1: those crucial moments. So it was uh, it was a
Speaker 1: big time. What did you have think, dopos bose players
Speaker 1: as well as its real did you think to day
Speaker 1: to this day that team who was there now almost
Speaker 1: you know, Debo is one of the best football players
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. You know, Uh, the performances like that
Speaker 1: don't surprise me. It's it's only a matter of time
Speaker 1: when he does, you know, kind of pop off like that.
Speaker 1: And you know, people were saying things about things that
Speaker 1: he may have said before the game, but I think
Speaker 1: it's safe to say he uh, his action spoke louder
Speaker 1: than his words. So there's so much going into this game.
Speaker 1: Whatever last year and all that, its n and on
Speaker 1: both sides, how official What was this game for you
Speaker 1: guys or both the offense and defense. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the thing I'm most proud of is the resilience
Speaker 1: throughout the game. It was like we talked about just
Speaker 1: just a second ago. It wasn't pretty in the beginning,
Speaker 1: you know, and we talked about trying to win a
Speaker 1: grimmy game. And I know the score is what it is.
Speaker 1: But on defense, we didn't take the ball away all game, uh,
Speaker 1: you know. And then at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 1: what was what it was? But and then we lost
Speaker 1: dre uh you know, midway through the game, so it
Speaker 1: was it was some things in there where we had
Speaker 1: to make sure we rebounded and we got back to work,
Speaker 1: and I mean, I can't speak to I can't speak
Speaker 1: enough about how how great oh like of a overall
Speaker 1: team that we have. I mean, it's the best offense,
Speaker 1: most explosive offense I've been a part of. I know,
Speaker 1: if we we take care of business on defense and
Speaker 1: especial teams are doing what they supposed to do, then
Speaker 1: we're we're gonna have a chance every game time. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the feel for me, honestly. And like I said,
Speaker 1: obviously it's go it's gonna be like man, grimmy game
Speaker 1: he won forty two nineteen or whatever score was. But
Speaker 1: like I said, like in those beginning the the beginning
Speaker 1: of the game, those crucial moments where we had to
Speaker 1: stand tall in the red zone, Uh, the offense couldn't
Speaker 1: really get anything going to start the game. But then
Speaker 1: you know, bouncing back and getting the run game going
Speaker 1: and making those big plays. Losing guys penalties, you know,
Speaker 1: shifts the momentum. But you guys stepping up and making
Speaker 1: the plays when they needed to make them. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know it. I think that's that was uh as as
Speaker 1: grimmy as it gets. Not quite sure. I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: You know, he was tall looking to me saying he
Speaker 1: didn't do anything, and then I'm seeing their sideline, you know,
Speaker 1: waving by to him and all this other stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it it's it was such a big loss
Speaker 1: in that moment to lose him. But I can't speak
Speaker 1: enough to how big o B was. Oorn Burke's coming
Speaker 1: in and doing what he did, Uh made some big
Speaker 1: plays for us in there when he came in and
Speaker 1: and and replaced Dre. So Uh, that was another moment
Speaker 1: where we had to, you know, make an adjustment and
Speaker 1: stand up and your mom ad that's up across the
Speaker 1: line where it's a non player and a non coach
Speaker 1: on the other side and engaging with the player. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean that should never be, you know, in question,
Speaker 1: like one of their one of their guys interacting with
Speaker 1: the player on the sideline. So it's what it is. Defense,
Speaker 1: maintain rushing. It goes against every fight rope there being
Speaker 1: what what was your perspective on, you know, a focus
Speaker 1: attain that off. Yeah, I mean we knew that it
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be one of those games where we were
Speaker 1: just rushing up the field trying to get those sack
Speaker 1: numbers and all those sorts of things. We had to
Speaker 1: play a complete overall you know, defensive game where everybody's
Speaker 1: doing their job, doing their assignment on every given play,
Speaker 1: because I mean, they're liable to obviously get a big
Speaker 1: play at any moment. Jillen Hurst is an outstanding football player.
Speaker 1: I mean you saw it all tonight, even him extending
Speaker 1: some of those plays. But you know, having played him
Speaker 1: last year and knowing how the game was gonna go,
Speaker 1: we knew we had to stop him in the run game,
Speaker 1: and then obviously when he had to pass the ball,
Speaker 1: we had to keep him containing and for the most part,
Speaker 1: I think we did that. That's good.
