WEBVTT - Press Pass: Fletcher Cox September 23

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>You've always been the dominant player obviously, but it looks

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>like this year it's you know, at another level. And

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the numbers too. What do you think the difference between

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, would you agree with that? First of all?

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the difference sense? I mean, I

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:20.240
<v Speaker 1>think you know the biggest thing for me is, you know,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>they challenged me every day practice games, and uh, you know,

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I I listened. I listened my teammates challenge me. And

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I respect Chris Long so much. And the

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>thing about Chris is he challenged me every day, and

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>uh you know what that is, you know, it just

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>it just raises a bar for you if you're a player,

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got a guy like like Chris has

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>been around for a long time and I just's my

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>second year with him, and he challenged me every day,

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know I respected and I accepted, and

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, go out on the field and and I

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>show the world how does he challenge me? Just you know,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>just talks to me and Chris you know, maybe you

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>can ask him about it, but uh, you know, just

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the way he U It's just Chris. You know, we

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>have fun, but he know when it's serious. Um and

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it's time to go. I think the biggest thing to me.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I look him and I looked in my heart and

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>we're both rad of the row. So you mentioned Derek

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>just did his job on that. How is that hard

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to do in a moment like that, to not get

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>outside yourself and trying to do too much. Is that

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>something you have to learn over time? Nope, with that's

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>what we talk about, you know, doing your doing your job.

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>That's our game. You know, that's how the nit they

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>line room do your job. I don't try to nobody

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>else's job because you know the play will come to

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you and obviously the play game to him. Um, he'd

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>be at the corner and uh, you know he made

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to play that to see the game. Did you think

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna get up? You know he staggered for a

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>bit there, looping in might no we we I saw

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Brandon coming around and uh, you know, once BG gout,

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>he started stumbling. Brandon BG come around and uh, you know,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure he was down, and you know it was.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>It was great for us. It's really got a lot

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>of pressure on induw luck tonight and really held them

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone. They were one of five. I

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>believe it was in the red zone what allowed you

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>guys to be so successful upfront. I mean we just

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>always talk about you know, being being there, being a

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>really good red zone team, being a good, really good

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>overall defense, especially in the red zone. You know, you

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>want the whole team to three points. Don't let him

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>score touchdowns or you know, get turnovers, and uh, I

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>think this, I think we really did that today. There

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>were some costly turnovers by the offense deep in your

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>own territory there, and yet you guys were able to

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>hold hold the Colts to just three points on both

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>of those possessions. Does that fire you up when you see, okay,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>now we got to go back out there and this

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is now our time to clean up erase this mistake.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>For lack of a better term, yeah, I think you

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>know how big a deal is. We saw the ball.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, we had we had our backs against the wall,

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and we've we've seen that story before, had our backs

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>against the wall, and you gotta come out of holding

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>three points to give our offense another chance. Would you

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>be wearing this jacket tonight if you didn't have such

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a good game? Where does jacket no matter what? For

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the war to the game, three sacks and three games

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>for you on your way to the Defensive Player of

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>the Year. Perhaps, man, just just keep working hard. That's

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>all I can do. I don't control those things, and

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>all I can do is just go out and show

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the wheld while you know, I want of the best

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>defensive players in the year. Is that something that's important

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to you. It's very important, you know, And uh, it's

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>very important to me. And but you know, at the

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, it's not about me. It's about

0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, the other ten guys. It's on the field.

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>The other guys is in this locker room, which is

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>and that's what makes it so special.
