Speaker 1: Yea at this point you guys have addressed before, but
Speaker 1: it gets more and more start games every week. Why
Speaker 1: is the defense so much more effective that whole h
Speaker 1: m hm Um. Really, you know what, you look at
Speaker 1: the the way we're playing UM in these games, and
Speaker 1: it's like three maybe four plays in each game that
Speaker 1: shows that difference, right. Um. You look at how we
Speaker 1: started the game. We started with three and out UM
Speaker 1: and really had them, had them where we wanted them,
Speaker 1: and then you know, they bust a run and then
Speaker 1: they get UM that that passed to Jimmy or for
Speaker 1: the touchdown. But you look at it and they're not
Speaker 1: really I mean they're doing it's like three or four plays,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's that's how every single one has been. UM.
Speaker 1: It's the execution. And I say it every every week,
Speaker 1: UM and every every time I get asked that question.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not a matter of how it plays,
Speaker 1: a matter of executing, you know, it's we've we've got
Speaker 1: to execute UM just consistently. And that's that's really the
Speaker 1: main key. You guys are in a stretch where you're
Speaker 1: facing a really elite quarterback every week. Uh, pretty much,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of backups, not a lot of
Speaker 1: rookies in there. Uh, what's the mentality of the defense
Speaker 1: as far did you guys embrace that? Do you like it?
Speaker 1: Do you like the challenge or um? You know? And
Speaker 1: how tough is it to never get a break that way? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And and to add to that, every quarterback is different, right,
Speaker 1: So you had Russell last week who was able to
Speaker 1: be um so crafty. Um. You know, we had Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan who's sitting there and throw the making every pass.
Speaker 1: And now you've got Aaron Rodgers who provides a little
Speaker 1: bit of both um, you know, and and this defense
Speaker 1: we embrace it absolutely. It's a new challenge every week. Um.
Speaker 1: And that's the way it she'll be. You know, we
Speaker 1: don't want any hands out, hand out are going again.
Speaker 1: We want to we want to prove, you know that
Speaker 1: we're going against the top competition and doing what we
Speaker 1: need to be doing against them. So, you know, as
Speaker 1: we're excited, Um, obviously you know we're playing one of
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks this this league, this league has had
Speaker 1: in the past, however long he's been playing at that level,
Speaker 1: you know, So we're excited, really excited for the for
Speaker 1: the challenge, ahead. I think quarterbacks school different school, stop
Speaker 1: the past. Aaron Rodgers provides a huge dynamic. UM And
Speaker 1: obviously UH is a top tier you know, if not
Speaker 1: the top tier quarterback in the NFL. But it's always
Speaker 1: to stop the rhyme. All that being said, yes, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean here's the thing. You know, obviously they rely
Speaker 1: on their past game, UM more than they do their
Speaker 1: run game. But you look at how they were playing
Speaker 1: with Eddie Lacy, you know, and they were running the ball.
Speaker 1: He was averaging four to five yards a pop, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So if they can run the ball,
Speaker 1: they're going to UM and ultimately we have to make
Speaker 1: them one dimension. Do you ever, do you ever kind
Speaker 1: of look at the standings and see where you are,
Speaker 1: what you guys have to do these last six weeks
Speaker 1: to get in I haven't. I honestly have not. UM.
Speaker 1: My head's probably been really you know, down um and
Speaker 1: focused on the one week schedule. But you know, we're
Speaker 1: still I know, we're still in a position to where
Speaker 1: we can really create our own our own destiny, making
Speaker 1: you know, these next these next six games count. UM,
Speaker 1: if we handle our business, we'll be all right. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think the way you have to approach
Speaker 1: it is to kind of see the light at the
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel and understand that it's there. But
Speaker 1: we have no what, in no way shape or for him.
Speaker 1: Should we look ahead? You know, we have to look
Speaker 1: at the task ahead or in front of us, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to handle business each and every
Speaker 1: week and treat us as an individual opportunity. You don't,
Speaker 1: you don't, I'm not looking ahead, but well, you look
Speaker 1: like like Thursday's games are pretty there's two the two
Speaker 1: girly games with the Cowboy Redskin game, the Lions Viking
Speaker 1: games or games that couldn't impact how you guys watch
Speaker 1: those games and look at it. If you watch, if
Speaker 1: you're not really doing much on Thursday, right, so you
Speaker 1: watch the games. Um, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what they do. It's a matter of
Speaker 1: what we do. If we don't handle our bids, well,
Speaker 1: if we don't handle our business, we're not even gonna
Speaker 1: be in that position, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, nobody else matters except
Speaker 1: for what's in this building. And we understand that it's
Speaker 1: Rodgers operating a little bit differently than we're accustomed to his.
Speaker 1: I think his yards per tempt or. Aaron Rodgers is
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers man. You know, you give him an opportunity,
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna make the most of it. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter how he played last week
Speaker 1: the week before. He is a proven quarterback in this league. Um,
Speaker 1: and it's somebody we have to be ready for at
Speaker 1: any moment. M hm hm hm
