1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Tom Rock, can you just talk about let's start with 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: the pregame stuff and uh, sort of how the team 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: came to this decision, how you can decision and you 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: seem especially moved by the uh when you were aligned 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: up on the goal line. I mean that was just 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: a team decision. We came together, we talked, talked about 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: the situation and just decided that we're not gonna put 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: too much into it. Uh, just those three minutes or 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: those two minutes really shouldn't be a distraction for us, 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: and coach made it clear that it's not going to 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: be a distraction. So we just said and do us 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: on your heart and that was on my heart and 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: everything we did was genuine. That's really it. At Leonard Lorenzo, 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: how do you guys? How do you feel you guys 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: played as a defensive seem like you were aggressive early 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: and effective at times. Of course didn't didn't hold up 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: through the full four quarters. But I want to know 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: what you think you guys did well and what you 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: need and trove. Yeah, like I said, I think we 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: came out with a great mindset, um ready to play ball. 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: It's been a minute since we got a chance to 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: go out there and play somebody else. So we're really 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: excited to go get the opportunity to come do that. Um. 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: But just we know we gotta keep getting better. It's 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: game one. We gotta get in the lab, gotta go 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: watch the film, and gotta go correct the mistakes we made. 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: But I think we we definitely put put it out there. 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: That we put it out there, we have something that 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: we can build on. Hey, so what did you learn 30 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: about your defense as all? From from seeing what you 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: guys did tonight. I mean, I really haven't had a 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: chance to watch the film, but I from being out 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: there with the guys. I know we got some fighters. 34 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: I know we're gonna go out there. We're gonna scratch 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: claw and nobody gave up. Uh. Even at the end 36 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: of the game when it was really um kind of over, 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: we went out there and just kept fighting. Um. And 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. You can't week out. We're 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna keep fighting. We got fighters on this team, man, 40 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: that's nothing. That's nothing new, it's nothing I didn't see 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: all camp. And we're gonna keep going and keep building 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: and just try to keep getting better. All right, Just 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: to pay you back off of that you've been here 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: for for some tough times. Why do you walk out 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: of this stadium believing that this is a different team 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: and and a new chapter for what you guys were 47 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: able to do tonight? I just I just see the 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: progress we made. UM. Trust the coaching staff, We put 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: in the work, all the all the off season, all 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: the camp. We've been putting in work, and come out 51 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: there and just come up short. It hurts, It definitely hurts. 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: But we see the kind of guys we have. We 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: got some tough guys in this locker room. It's a 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: lot of a group of leaders, and we're already to 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: get back in there, watch the film tomorrow and get 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: back to work. Last question here, Lombarto, Heylarenzo, Um, just 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: looking at the guys in front of it, Extra Lawrence 58 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Lender Williams. They're kind of flying into the backfield tonight. 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: Just your thoughts on them and just how much easier 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: that makes your job as a linebacker when those guys 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: are creating pressure up front. Oh yeah, man, you gotta 62 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: love it. You gotta love those big guys up front. 63 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: But it's it's something we've known. We got a crazy 64 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: defensive line like that. Room right there is. I love 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: playing with them. Those guys are gonna fight, they're gonna 66 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: scratch and claw, and like you saw, they get they 67 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: make their play. So we just gotta all just step up. 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: Everybody keep making plays and just try to feed off 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: of each other. That energies can tell yous. Now we 70 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: need guys like that throughout the whole defense. Everybody can 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: make plays, and the more plays they make, the more 72 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: plays we make.
