1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Korea had Sacks talk about that feeling and can you

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: talk about how does defenses come together the last three

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: four games? I mean, overall this game was a tough game.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: It was clearly came down to the last minute game.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: So that feeling coming into the locker room and celebrating

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: with the guys on on the positive side of it, uh,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: winning coming all the way out here to the West

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Coast and going back home with the wind, I mean,

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: I felt amazing, and even on top of that, it felt,

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: you know better to obviously help our team get to

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: that win. And like, like you said, defense played lights

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: our offense, you know, it was running the ball, and

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we played some hard nosed football today.

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Are you guys let um? You want them? Go ahead?

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Chris where you finished? Uh? Just to follow up, Leo,

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: just can just talk about the contributions from somebody's young

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: guys the last few games. I was actually talking to

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Carter about that on the sideline. I was like saying,

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: I was even props to Pat about how good he's

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: been doing with with the guys that he has. Um,

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, we have like such young guys on defense,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: like Carter and Cam and uh, you know, some undrafted

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: guys and and you know, I feel like they've been

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: stepping up big time. You know, like once again Nico

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: got another um you know, turn over on his side.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: He's like two for two now, two games and two takeaways,

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: and then uh, you know, Tey came back and got

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: a sack. You know, he's been doing great. And then

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, Carter and Cameramen and have been doing great

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: on special teams and on defense. So I feel like

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these young guys have been stepping up

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: big for us hoticely he Leo. You guys lost a

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: number of games like ten points are less early in

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the season. How do you feel like that has taught you?

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Losing to those games early, because during this four game

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: winning streak, you pretty much been within that eight to

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: ten point marginal victory. Honestly, I think then, more than now,

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: is when I realized how good of a team we have,

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: just because you know, even though we were losing, this

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: team never broke apart. This team came even closer together

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: after those losses, and we worked hard at crap, you know,

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean we were we were coming to work, like

43
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, with the chip on our shoulder. Every day

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: and we still are. And uh, you know, I think

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: it's it's showing in the way we play, showing in

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the arts togetherness, and uh, you know, I think in

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, when we were losing, is

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: when I was almost more proud of these guys than now.

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think it just shows because

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: of how locked in we all are. You feel like

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: you personally are coming into your own that this is

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a real veal. Uh. I mean I don't I wouldn't

53
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: know how to say that. You know, I think it's

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: been fun, you know, I think the scheme has been fun.

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, guys around me have been

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: helping me play great. Uh, the system has been helping

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: me play great. The energy on the team is helping

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: me play great. You know, there's just a lot of

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: stuff comes together that helps players reach their potential. And uh,

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's just all coming together. Storgan, Hey, Lenon,

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: what's going on? What What did you guys do? That

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: seemed to confuse Russell Wilson so much. I mean, he

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: was holding the ball a while there and he couldn't

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: seem to find guys open. Honestly, don't know, I think

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I just I think we have a great secondary. Um.

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: I think also, uh, you know, schematically, I think we

67
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: did a good job of making him feel pressure, making

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: him uncomfortable. Uh you know, he felt a guy on

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: this side and had to hold the ball, and I

70
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: come to this side and felt that guy on this side.

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we were coming at him from a

72
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of angles and it made him a little bit

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: confused at times. And overall, you know, he's obviously the

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: head of the offense, being the quarterback, and and I've

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: been like making him uncomfortable with what we had to do,

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and I think we did a good job of that. That. Hey,

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: Leonard Um, you know you've talked about how you've been

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: on teams that weren't able to bounce back from that

79
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: slow type of start at this team got into I'm

80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: just scarous, Like what does it mean to you to

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: be sitting here at five and seven top of the

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: NFC is playing the way you are, and like, I

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: really have a chance to get to the playoffs for

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the first time in your career, and I think it

85
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: means a lot. I mean, this has been a fun season.

86
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think in the beginning of the season,

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: is when you know the team and the guys and

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: the coaches is like really like proved to each other,

89
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: like what type of team we really have? Um, you know,

90
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: it's obviously happy. It's it's easy to be happy and

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: see the good things when you guys are winning. But

92
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: I feel like we've all seen the good things in

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: each other and what we had even when we were losing,

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: and that just helped continue to build our confidence in

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: each other and and and build on what we have

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: working here and eventually, you know, it just turned into

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: a snowball and it keeps building up and building up,

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and I feel like we have like a real culture

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: here now. And uh, you know, I love the way

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: this team is going. And what what was going through

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: your head on that last act? That kind of sealed

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: a little bit there. I was like, thank you so much, Alvin,

103
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: because he really did a good job penetrating on that

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: on that game and helped me wrap around. And also

105
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: I came so wide open that I was like, please

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: get this guy down, because I was I don't get

107
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: jimmed by this guy. Uh, He's obviously a great quarterback

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and good scrambling. So I'm glad I was able to

109
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: get him down. Thanks thank to more Marto and Doug

110
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: in Lombardo. How's it going, man? How are you good? Hey?

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: What was the turning point for this defense? Because it's

112
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: like the last month, you guys have just been playing

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: at an even higher level than any other point in

114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: the year, and it seems like it seems to build

115
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: and build and build every week. What do you think

116
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: are that and how much better can you get from here?

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: I can't really find a definite turning point, but I

118
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, we were a young new defense.

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: We're all still getting to know each other, getting another

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the coordinator. The coordinator still getting to know his players

121
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: and who he has and stuff like that, and uh,

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like we were really good in

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: some areas in the beginning of the season, and then

124
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: we would like not be as good in some areas,

125
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: and I feel like eventually we just finally put it,

126
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: like started putting it all together. And that just comes

127
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: from growth and like knowing knowing each other. I feel

128
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: like that's all it is for you personally. What is it?

129
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: What is it about this scheme or these techniques that

130
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: have really broken out the best gear? I mean they

131
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: even have sacks hit four games left. Uh. Like I said,

132
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I think we have a great secondary. So I think

133
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: those guys obviously helped me a lot. You know, There's

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: been times where I've gotten some coverage sacks just because

135
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: you know there's nobody to throw it to man obviously,

136
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: if those guys are you know, giving me a lot

137
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: of time, like you know, anybody can get back there. Um.

138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: And then also I think just the energy that we

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: have on the team. Um, you know, we played with

140
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a high energy, high motor. We practice that way and

141
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the game. Thanks doug Hey Lantard. It

142
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: seems like every week, you know, Pat comes up with

143
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the game plan to really you know, give you guys

144
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: the best chance. And what's it like as a player

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: to you know, walking there Wednesday morning, get the game

146
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: plan and know that you're gonna be put in position

147
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, have a great plan of a

148
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: great scheme. We always joke around about how Pat is

149
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: like a computer as he I swear he could remember

150
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: a player from like six years ago that he ran

151
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: and like you know exactly where it was in in

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: that in that game, and he'll be like playing fifty

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: six and like year seven against the book and here

154
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's how does this guy to remember that stuff?

155
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: And I think, I mean, he's just like a genius
