1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Hey, Blank, I'm just curious how how you felt like

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: you played tonight in your your first game, and I

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: know you had a few big players, and I'm just

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: curious how you evaluate your performers tonight. Oh yeah, I mean,

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean I want to look at the tape before

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: I know exactly to assess myself. Um, but I felt

7
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: like kind of going out there, um first circumstance with

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: not having fans, first game with a new team, a

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: new defense and everything, I felt confident out there. I

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: felt I knew what I was doing. Um, was able

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: to play fast, be aggressive, and uh just go and

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: make plays at the lot of Primage and the the

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: defensive line it seemed like was wrecking a lot of

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: havoc on on Ben Roethlisberger, giving a lot of trouble,

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: especially like Leonard Williams and Renzer Carter. What what'd you

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: see out of those guys? No, I mean, both amazing players. Um,

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: It's just they went out there and did their jobs

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: and and made big plays. That's what we expect from them. Um,

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: It's just awesome to see those guys. Each and every

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: one of us on the defense has just been working

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: uh really hard together and it's it's cool to see

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: you guys who out there and perform well. Thanks Lombardo Blake. Okay, hey, um,

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: when you look at kind of along those lines, when

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: you have Lendry Williams and Dextra Horen's both really creating

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure up front, how much easier does

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: that make your life as an inside linebacker? And just

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, how gratifying was it as a front seven

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: to generate the kind of pressure you guys did tonight. No,

29
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: it's huge. I mean the first day I came here

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: and we were actually able to be in person, and

31
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I gotta see those guys in person stand in front

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: of me. Um. I told Pat, I was like thank you, um,

33
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: and then kind of moved on from there. But like

34
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: I said earlier, they did a lot of great things

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: to nine. It just kind of trickled on back to

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: help each every one of us out there. Hey, Blake,

37
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: what do you what do you guys think that you

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: did well as a collective defense today and what do

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: you think you guys need to clean up? It seems

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: like you had a really strong first half, a lot

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: of good energy, but obviously the final score doesn't reflect

42
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: that it was good enough. No, yeah, I think once again,

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: just want to kind of be able to check the

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: tape and see, uh completely what happened, to kind of

45
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: assess it and have that answer. UM. Overall, I think

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: we had, like you said, great energy UM across the board,

47
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: and we're just working to keep getting better and are

48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: just like coach Judge tells us every single time we practice.

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: This week was the big jump from week one to

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: week two? Is uh where a good teams show up?

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Thanks got after two more time Canada leaving, I like,

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: how are you doing good? Can you tell what happened

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: in the second half because it seemed they were able

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: to get their running game going. Oh yeah, I think

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: there was just a little things here and there. I mean,

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: once again, I mean I don't know exactly um the

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: complete answer, because we want to obviously check the tape

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: and see where things kind of went wrong in certain situations.

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: But I'm guessing it at the end of the day, UM,

60
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna end up being our fundamentals, our technique, our

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: job are are on it. For that given play, UM

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: was lacking and I think that was kind of a

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: collective thing throughout the game for us. On defense, UM,

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: we kind of heard ourselves in the grand scheme of everything.

65
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Last question here, dull lev Blake, you guys give up

66
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: that score there right before the end of the half.

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: What is it? And uh what uh was there that

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: happened that went wrong? Yeah, I think once once again,

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to check the tape on that

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: portion once. Uh, we were able to see it tomorrow,

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: um or the next day. Yeah. Momentum wise, what does

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: that do because you played well and then all of

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: a sudden you're going in get no. Yeah, it's it's

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: definitely a tough moment um too. Obviously had that happen. Um.

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: We always talk about good teams are good in the

76
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: red area, UM, third down in two minute um, And

77
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: obviously that was a two minute situation and we need

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: to stop of them. Um. And we didn't do that.

79
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: And obviously we had to refocus and readjust to start

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: the second half.
