Speaker 1: Rockets.
Speaker 2: Just seems like a great athlete to me. Keep running
Speaker 2: for those first downs, buddy, love that. Why did you
Speaker 2: have the end zone on your mind? As soon as
Speaker 2: I got up? As soon as I got up, found
Speaker 2: some found some green grass. You know. I'm excited to
Speaker 2: go back and watch it to see the effort that.
Speaker 2: You know, my guys were given to get blocks. I mean,
Speaker 2: you don't get in the end zone unless you got
Speaker 2: your teammates having your back in that situation. So I'm
Speaker 2: happy we got that one. I mean I would have
Speaker 2: been out there if I could have been. But so
Speaker 2: we'll we'll see, uh, you know, as we'll get more
Speaker 2: information on it. Lobbying to get back in what was
Speaker 2: kind of back and forth, you know it w it
Speaker 2: was all based off the field, you know, Like I said,
Speaker 2: if I, if I could have been, I it take
Speaker 2: a lot for me to tap out right, So I
Speaker 2: mean it, if I could have been out there, I
Speaker 2: would have been. Well, we'll get more information, uh as
Speaker 2: we go with scans and all that, but uh, I
Speaker 2: feel good right now.
Speaker 1: They're all that touchdown. You look like gas to hurt
Speaker 1: a little bit, Like how'd you feel after the score?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean after catching it. I I guess I
Speaker 2: was in there a little bit and I fell with
Speaker 2: no type of no type of something to break the fall,
Speaker 2: so I kind of land on my bag. Lost wins,
Speaker 2: but I got up and ran anyway, so I was
Speaker 2: winning for sure. I was trying to catch my wins
Speaker 2: at that point.
Speaker 1: Practice said that you guys practiced all week with the
Speaker 1: chip on your shoulder.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?
Speaker 1: And?
Speaker 2: Uh, what was practice like this week? Yeah? Absolutely, I
Speaker 2: mean it was chippy. I think it was exactly what
Speaker 2: what it needed to be. I mean, you dropped two
Speaker 2: two losses, especially the one last week, I had a
Speaker 2: sour taste in our mouth. Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 2: the right type of week.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're playing at an even higher level?
Speaker 1: What were you doing last year in the year before.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to do my best, you know,
Speaker 2: whatever that takes for the team, honestly. And you know
Speaker 2: the the play today, I've I've been talking about that
Speaker 2: for weeks now. You know, Coach Staley does a great
Speaker 2: job in our ball meeting and he's made it an
Speaker 2: emphasis that if you score on defense, you have about
Speaker 2: one hundred percent chance of winning the game. And so
Speaker 2: I'm like, we gotta score on d and uh for
Speaker 2: us to get that to get that play. You know,
Speaker 2: obviously we won and we gotta keep it going. Now
Speaker 2: just instinct kind of break off your coverage and try
Speaker 2: to just hide to get that interception. Like how did
Speaker 2: how did they go through? Yeah, lots of experience. You know,
Speaker 2: you know where to be at the right at the
Speaker 2: right spot. You kind of understand route concepts regardless of
Speaker 2: you know, the cover responsibility and uh, usually if you're
Speaker 2: in the middle of the field around the hashes, good
Speaker 2: things can happen. You have a lot of different faces
Speaker 2: and on different positions on what kind of bird is
Speaker 2: that for you as the leader, and.
Speaker 1: How have you approached.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a burden, you know. I think it's
Speaker 2: an opportunity and uh we I'm I'm so. I've always
Speaker 2: I was excited from the moment we got all the
Speaker 2: new guys that we did this offseason because of what
Speaker 2: they bring to the to our team and to the defense. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I think the opportunity was to now continue
Speaker 2: to build and build that cohesion and that chemistry amongst
Speaker 2: the group. Right, I think the best teams are the
Speaker 2: ones that are the closest and that doesn't happen overnight,
Speaker 2: you know, a week by week. We got to continue
Speaker 2: to try to find that closeness with as a team
Speaker 2: as a defense. And I feel like the more we
Speaker 2: do that, the better we're gonna play in, the better
Speaker 2: product we're gonna put on the field.
Speaker 1: For a while now, be efficient, pile up completions, lead
Speaker 1: the team. You know, I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 1: seen him grow deep as many times as he did
Speaker 1: today in the kind of in the airy yards and
Speaker 1: almost that everybody always talks about what does that do?
Speaker 1: Now the teams have seen he can do this that consistently,
Speaker 1: What does that do for him in your office? And
Speaker 1: is there anything he can't do?
Speaker 2: Nah, He's the best man. I love Brock love exactly
Speaker 2: how how he plays the game, who he is, Uh,
Speaker 2: the leader that he is for our team. You know,
Speaker 2: he doesn't say a whole lot, but he doesn't have
Speaker 2: to at the end of the day. Like the way
Speaker 2: that he approaches his craft, and it's so humble about
Speaker 2: his approach, you know, never too high and never too
Speaker 2: low and continuing to get better and in all phases
Speaker 2: of his game, knowing what it takes to win, right,
Speaker 2: you know, I love I love having him as our
Speaker 2: as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And obviously because up the catch and the run. Could
Speaker 1: you recruited as a tight end?
Speaker 2: Played a little tight end in high school, but wasn't
Speaker 2: really for me. Man. I'm more of a you know,
Speaker 2: control your destiny out there tight end. You might get
Speaker 2: a catch, you might not, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So it's all good now were out there in terms
Speaker 2: of chemistry communication the back end, I think I thought
Speaker 2: he did great. You know, he had that opportunity to
Speaker 2: having a an interception late in the game. You know,
Speaker 2: gotta bring those in. But other than that, man, I
Speaker 2: I love the way that Malick plays the game. I mean,
Speaker 2: he hair on fire, no hesitation. You see him just
Speaker 2: flashing all the time with the way that he spread
Speaker 2: to the football. You know. So I love the way
Speaker 2: that he plays the game. He's only gonna continue to
Speaker 2: get better, alright, alright, guys,
