00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,798
Speaker 2: it like in the locker room? Tell me what that

21
00:01:19,999 --> 00:01:22,519
Speaker 2: was like after the win. You guys battled today. You

22
00:01:22,559 --> 00:01:24,878
Speaker 2: know it wasn't perfect. It wasn't pretty the whole time,

23
00:01:25,158 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 2: but you guys really hung tough. Tell me what it

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: was like when you knew that you had the win

25
00:01:28,438 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 2: secured and he got in the locker room.

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: You know, it was a lecture. You know, we have

27
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 4: put in so much work, so much time away from family, friends,

28
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 4: that it's just good to get when you know, we

29
00:01:41,679 --> 00:01:43,599
Speaker 4: started off this year to win. It's time that we

30
00:01:43,639 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 4: got another one, you know, through the ups and downs,

31
00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:49,439
Speaker 4: the adversity that we go through, you know, God's blessed

32
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 4: us with another one. So I appreciate it.

33
00:01:51,679 --> 00:01:54,398
Speaker 3: Christian. I know you're probably sick of, you know, listening

34
00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:56,799
Speaker 3: to the questions that we're asking about. You know what

35
00:01:56,879 --> 00:01:59,319
Speaker 3: Jerrod Mayo said after the game, But it looked like

36
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:01,519
Speaker 3: to me and Matt and I were talking about it

37
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,199
Speaker 3: in the open here, you guys really responded to that,

38
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:06,399
Speaker 3: you know, to that challenge. There was nobody on the

39
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: field that could be accused of being soft today. I

40
00:02:09,559 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 3: know that you guys took it personal. Was that the

41
00:02:11,679 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: message especially on defense for you guys, Yeah, no.

42
00:02:17,079 --> 00:02:19,798
Speaker 4: You know, Mayo challenges us every day. He's an amazing

43
00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:23,558
Speaker 4: head coach, especially being a former player. He just knows

44
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: the ins and outs of it. So we took it

45
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 4: upon ourselves to work harder in the practice league, work

46
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:33,599
Speaker 4: harder and be more disciplined, you know, with our game plan.

47
00:02:33,799 --> 00:02:36,279
Speaker 4: So it all worked out in the end. But you know,

48
00:02:36,399 --> 00:02:38,439
Speaker 4: Mayo definitely is the tone thattter for the team.

49
00:02:38,758 --> 00:02:40,199
Speaker 2: Well, I want to talk about it, and we're watching

50
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:41,638
Speaker 2: it now a little bit on the replay here, I

51
00:02:41,679 --> 00:02:42,999
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about your sack where you

52
00:02:42,999 --> 00:02:46,599
Speaker 2: had a little delay rush going in. I think Hall

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: would have liked to have maybe gotten a little bit

54
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 2: more of you when you came in on the play.

55
00:02:50,079 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: But what's it like? What are your eyes looking like

56
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:54,279
Speaker 2: when you see future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers dead

57
00:02:54,519 --> 00:02:55,559
Speaker 2: to rights in front of you.

58
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 4: Honestly, it happened so fast like it came. It just

59
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,759
Speaker 4: became complete reaction. I wasn't even thinking about any of

60
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:06,719
Speaker 4: that where I was on the field, what was happening.

61
00:03:06,999 --> 00:03:09,199
Speaker 4: It was just about me getting the guy, you know,

62
00:03:09,359 --> 00:03:11,879
Speaker 4: getting them down. So it wasn't about who it was,

63
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 4: It wasn't about anything like that. It was more about

64
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,199
Speaker 4: let's just get this play going, you know, to stop.

65
00:03:17,999 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: Them with the run defense in particular today, Christian looked

66
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:25,319
Speaker 3: like you guys, you know, there were times that they

67
00:03:25,359 --> 00:03:26,999
Speaker 3: got you on the edges a little bit early. Then

68
00:03:27,038 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 3: you guys settled that down, and really I thought, you know,

69
00:03:30,279 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 3: the production for the Jets really dropped as the game

70
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:34,879
Speaker 3: was going on. Did you guys make an adjustment to

71
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,199
Speaker 3: some of that stuff they were doing wide earlier in

72
00:03:37,239 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 3: the game.

73
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:41,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it to It came down to really technique.

74
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:44,679
Speaker 4: We had our plan going into the game and we

75
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,399
Speaker 4: didn't really need to do anything different. There's a few

76
00:03:47,399 --> 00:03:50,399
Speaker 4: minor adjustments here and there, but it came down to technique,

77
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,399
Speaker 4: following your eyes, following your keys, and just making the play.

78
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:56,079
Speaker 2: When it comes to you, Christian, you know, you guys

79
00:03:56,119 --> 00:03:57,999
Speaker 2: have a young team with a lot of different players

80
00:03:57,999 --> 00:04:00,239
Speaker 2: from a lot of different backgrounds, Guys that had to

81
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:02,479
Speaker 2: fill in when people are injured. What's a win like

82
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:05,199
Speaker 2: this do to help your confidence? Like you were saying,

83
00:04:05,239 --> 00:04:06,999
Speaker 2: you put in the work during the week, you want

84
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,399
Speaker 2: to see results, So today you got the results. What

85
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 2: does that do for teams confidence?

86
00:04:11,679 --> 00:04:11,879
Speaker 1: Yeah?

87
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:14,799
Speaker 4: No, it does everything. You know, I think first and foremost,

88
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:19,238
Speaker 4: like it comes down to, it comes down to who

89
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:22,439
Speaker 4: we played for. You know, I played for God and

90
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,638
Speaker 4: my family, and then the team I'm playing for, So

91
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:28,758
Speaker 4: it really just helped like the unity of the team,

92
00:04:28,799 --> 00:04:31,399
Speaker 4: the unity of the locker room, and then going forward

93
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,359
