Speaker 1: Yet you feel like you're getting better. You're feeling something.
Speaker 1: I've been getting better, getting some progress still right now
Speaker 1: at this point, not exactly where it needs to be reminded.
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. I'm curious, man. You know,
Speaker 1: once everybody's healthy, you and Michael and Kiko and Jordan
Speaker 1: has been healthy. I mean, how having four guys like
Speaker 1: you at the side back of I mean how that
Speaker 1: kind of talent's going to show something the l Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I think you know, getting everybody back, it will be
Speaker 1: really good for us. There's a lot of talent, a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who played a lot of ball, so
Speaker 1: it'll be really good. A lot of you know, different packages,
Speaker 1: different guys who can using ever together. So it's it's
Speaker 1: really a plus for our team for the depth that
Speaker 1: we have a the linebacker position. In the past, you've
Speaker 1: never wanted to come off the field. Now there's a
Speaker 1: fourth person in that mix. How do you take that?
Speaker 1: Whatever it's best for us, you know, whatever we need.
Speaker 1: However the rotation goes, however Billy, you know, decides on
Speaker 1: who's in and who's out on that particular down. You know,
Speaker 1: it works, it'll work for us at what point, did
Speaker 1: you think Jordan Hicks was a guy who would be
Speaker 1: in that rotation when everyone was healthy. Oh? Man, I
Speaker 1: always say, man, the first first few days I've seen
Speaker 1: him in Ota is always seen that you know, he
Speaker 1: could be a really good player, And I didn't know
Speaker 1: how the rotation was would work itself out at that
Speaker 1: point in time. But as you can see, he's he
Speaker 1: can step in. He could play some good ball for us.
Speaker 1: We're you're a little surprised, but you know coming back
Speaker 1: this week, your hand, he wasn't all the way back. Oh,
Speaker 1: not not surprised. I mean I felt I felt pretty,
Speaker 1: I felt okay. During the bye week. It was good,
Speaker 1: good time to recover and everything. But you know sometimes
Speaker 1: injuris take that injury, it takes like two to three weeks.
Speaker 1: What do you see. You're one of the few guys
Speaker 1: that's been on the defense since we got here a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. What does she As far as
Speaker 1: progression year to year through the first seven games this year,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, just progressive. We've gotten better with the
Speaker 1: big plays. I think you know, the first couple of years,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of big plays, a lot of big passes,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of quarterbacks has some great
Speaker 1: days on us passing the ball. So I think considering
Speaker 1: we've gotten better over the years, just knocking that number
Speaker 1: down in the passing game, feel like we're playing much
Speaker 1: better there. And also, you know, our turnovers just through
Speaker 1: the roof. You know, for us to put the emphasis
Speaker 1: on the turnovers and see it come to life, that's
Speaker 1: that's been a huge plus for us ko bring to
Speaker 1: the table. That's unique. I think Keiko is a guy
Speaker 1: who can you know, he does a good job in coverage,
Speaker 1: you know, running with tight ends or backs, whoever it
Speaker 1: may be. He does a good job in covering. And
Speaker 1: he's just he's the guy who can play sideline and sideline,
Speaker 1: make a lot of make plays all over the fieldcast
Speaker 1: all the big game to get you guys a couple
Speaker 1: of years back, do you remember from that game? Uh man,
Speaker 1: that's again correlating to I don't think our our secondary
Speaker 1: as was as good as it is now. So you know,
Speaker 1: again that was a that was a bad game for us.
Speaker 1: One I'd like to forget. We went up in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: You know, he did a really good job that day.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's a different team you
Speaker 1: know different, we have a different team. He's with the
Speaker 1: different team, so I think it'll be a different, little
Speaker 1: different outcome this time around. Just fall off like your
Speaker 1: hamstring saying, I know how much would you were talking
Speaker 1: about injury? Is this something that there was a setback
Speaker 1: within over these past few days. I mean it's just
Speaker 1: still progressing still, you know, still headed in the right direction.
Speaker 1: But you know, so why were you out there yesterday? Hit?
Speaker 1: Was it because of the nature of yesterday's practice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a light practice. Interest this could be in
Speaker 1: a league like top five touch defense. An't had that
Speaker 1: around here? You know, Johnson's all right, and I feel
Speaker 1: we have to make it for the top five defense.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just look at it and you know, we
Speaker 1: make a lot of bonehead mistakes and kind of give
Speaker 1: up a touchdown here, they're not covering again our bad
Speaker 1: communication here. If we clean all those things up, I
Speaker 1: think we definitely have the making of a top five defense.
Speaker 1: But it has to be consistent, down in and down.
Speaker 1: When you watch the the best defense in the league,
Speaker 1: they don't have those lapses like Sweet sometimes have. All right,
Speaker 1: thanks you, that's who come on road.
