1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Anything more of the two year got last week or

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the one you dropped, the one I dropped. Uh, Now,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I worked on it every day. Um, something I should catch,

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: so you know, something that I will catch next time.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: So it's one that I dropped. I feel it was

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: just a matter of time because we were getting opportunities

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: right Uh, and you're getting close and it just wasn't

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: wasn't happening for you, and then all of a sudden

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: you got a couple of that the sort of the

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: way it goes. You did you see that coming. I

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: trust in you know, my preparation. I trust in uh,

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: my work level, Um, what I do to to go

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: out there on Sundays and go out there and produce.

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: I trust what I do out here on the field

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: with my teammates. I trust what the what the coaches

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: want me to do. I trust how they coach me. Um.

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: And that's kind of just the standard of that I

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: go by. Um. So you know, I try to go

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: out there and make plays. Um. You know, if they come,

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: they come, I just gotta make them sit in game.

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Is pretty impressive. It's not seven in six games like

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dicks. What do you think of what he's doing

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. Ay doing great? Man. Uh.

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: I always always had a lot of belief in them, obviously.

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: That's that's one of my close close friends. Uh. We

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: play together in Bama, So I always knew he would

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: be that way. Um, and you know, I know how

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: he works, So I'm not surprised just this team. Obviously,

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: the fans have been pretty hostile to this team in

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Do you guys still enjoy

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: playing at home or is it not a surprise that

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: your best performances around the road. We enjoyed playing period.

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Uh that's just whether you know we're getting booed or

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: we whether they're cheering. So um. But obviously we know

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: we got to play better, but we enjoyed playing the

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: game no matter what. Uh. So we just like I

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: said before, were trusted everybody in this organization. We're trusting

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: all the players that around us, were trusting the guys

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: that are out there with us. Um, and we're sticking

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: to the plan. We're just gonna keep working and keep

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: trying to prove and win games. So it's been a

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: rough start for the defense this year, rough few games

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: in particular. Uh, how would you written sort of rate

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: or describe the frustration level on that unit right now.

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's frustrating, um to lose games, period,

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: But I think it's the NFL man. That's something I've

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: uh growing to see. You even see some of the

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: best teams like from last year. Uh, you know having

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: rough starts. Everybody got rough starts. So it all just

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: depends on you know how you um, you know, how

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: you can come back from that rough start. It's all

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: about how you you know, come out here and challenge

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: yourself every day out there on the field, out there

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: in the meetings to to try to improve, to get

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: better and be able to win those games. Um. So

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's frustrating, but you know, we know we

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: gotta do to be better. A lot of times we

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: shoot ourselves in the foot, but we'll fix it, we'll

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: correct it, and we'll get it done. It seems like

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: a group, like you just explained, it's been pretty level mellow,

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: level headed that even though there's been ups and downs

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: this year. How do you guys, how are you guys

63
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: being able to stay that way? Like is it there's

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: somebody like driving that is or is it is that

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: just Patrick Graham, you know the way he kind of

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: leads you guys, How would you say, why would you

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: say that's the case. I mean, I think that's what

68
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: we show you guys. But I don't like. I mean,

69
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: we're like I said, we're losing. We know we're losing,

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: so like we're not happy, like nobody's happy. UM. So

71
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: I mean we know, like I said, we know we

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: gotta fix um and we'll keep that stuff in house.

73
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: We know, we you know, we we we voiced our frustrations.

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: So uh but like I said, we'll get it done. However, however,

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: maybe the expectations were pretty high externally for your defense,

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: considering what you did last year. So how far off

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: of your guys internal expectations have you been? I mean,

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the defense is not performed well, so how how far

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: below your expectations has it been? Uh? I don't know.

80
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: We didn't really set I don't know. Man. We just

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: like I said before, I mean, we we got we

82
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: started off rough, UM, so that's kind of is what

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: it is. We know we got to improve on um

84
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and we just gotta go get it done. We can't

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: really talk about it, you know, I can't sit up

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: here and tell you, you you know, what to expect. Expectations were, Uh,

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: we gotta just go out there and get the job done,

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: win the game. One of the things that one of

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: the things that people say is that you guys are

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: trying not to give up the big play, but at

91
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: the same time, people are just sitting down in front

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: of the you know, the defense and just catching passes.

93
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: How do you come, you know, make that work in

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the sense of prevent the big play but not give

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: then the easy catch. I don't really know how to

96
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: answer that. I don't even know. I don't know what

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: you're asking for real. Uh, I just think we gotta

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: go out there and execute, I said,
