Speaker 2: in there with the guys. We have a lot of

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: good players that are that are prepared and are excited

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: to play and can't wait for the game to start.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: So what question Jeb John having practice all week as

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: IVY need an information this play.

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just not going to comment on any of that.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: Like I I know what you're saying.

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: It's like now if I say, if I talk about Lamar,

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: then it's going to be the next guy in the

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: next guy, And it's just kind of all injury report related.

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: Cooper's had a great week of practice.

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: I don't think Tyler had an incompletion today, you know,

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he was really good today, had a great

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: day today, And so if it's those two guys, then

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: they'll be ready to roll. Our offense will be ready

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: to go. But just all the talk, you know, the

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: injury stuff. It's not that I don't want to put

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: it out there, it's just it's too many guys even

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 2: to talk about, you know, so we just be talking

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: about every single guy, and it's just better just to

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: leave it with uh, you know, we'll see when we

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: get there, because some guys, some guys aren't going to

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: get there. There'll be an injury report here pretty soon.

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: We'll show you who's out. There'll be other guys that

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: will have a chance and they'll be probably questionable, you know,

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: and uh so we'll just.

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: Have to have to really see as we go.

37
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: We have an idea on certain guys, we we do,

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: but I don't just don't want to dive into all

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: that right now.

40
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: It's just too much of it.

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: What bring you do you have to go that route?

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 5: Just and obviously different skill a little bit of different

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 5: skill set to be more Yeah, definitely.

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: I mean I think you're right.

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: Brings a different and skill set, you know, every every

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: player does, every quarterback definitely does as well, and.

47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: That's good. I mean, everybody's unique. You know, you can

48
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: only be you.

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: Know you, you know, And I've told this story before,

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: but like I used to talk to my daughter about

51
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: that all the time, there's only one there's only one

52
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: player that can play like you play your way, and

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: and you're the best at it. You're the best of

54
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: playing the way you play with your skill set. And

55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: I feel that way about all our players. I tell

56
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: our guys that all the time, you go out there

57
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: and be who you are, play your strengths. You know,

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: We'll try to do everything we can to build what

59
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: we have around your strengths as a player. And that's

60
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: probably more true for the quarterback position than any any

61
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: other position. So that's what that's what we'll try to do.

62
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 6: YEA that specifically mentioned that, you know, you have a

63
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 6: couple of guys that are normally the guys that relay

64
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 6: the signals on defense, that are maybe banged up in

65
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 6: a lot. Always how big is communication when you have

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 6: so many new guys expected to play in the game.

67
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Very important.

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: I think communication is always so important, as you know,

69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: and it's always challenging. It's always challenging for a defense

70
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: at home home because you know, the home crowd is loud,

71
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: you know, to disrupt the offense, which we want. So

72
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: communication is going to be important. The fact that it's

73
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: going to be someone in the green dot potentially that well,

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be Row, you know, So it's gonna

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: be somebody that hasn't done it.

76
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: Kyle's done it.

77
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: He does a great job with it. For some reason,

78
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: it's not Kyle, then it's gonna have to be somebody else,

79
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: you know, and it'll be new for that person really so,

80
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: but I'm confident, like we practice it.

81
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: We practice it all week. You know, those guys are

82
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: pros and.

83
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: They know the defense inside now, you know, and let's

84
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: go play ball.

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: Be comfortable with a rookie doing that.

86
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: Sure.

87
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, with everything else going on, we didn't get to

88
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 5: ask you what you thought of Isaiah likely in his

89
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: return last Sunday and moving forward, how nice will it

90
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: be to you know, increase his involvement in the h

91
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: Thank you.

92
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: For that, Luke. That's nice. That's good.

93
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, there's a lot of you do

94
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: get you kind of get buried by the avalanche of

95
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: all the things that could go wrong, you know, and

96
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: I know that's how it works. You know, it's that's

97
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: every every city, and even as a coach, you look

98
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: at all the things that you got to overcome, you know.

99
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: I thought that, you know, Todd spoke so well yesterday

100
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: about that in terms of you work like heck to

101
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it.

102
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: But you also work like heck to build on all

103
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: the positives you know, and and and try to try

104
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: to make those just multiply, you know. And uh and

105
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Isaiah was one of those. And he looked great out

106
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: there at a great week of practice. It was good

107
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: to see him back. It was h that's a that's

108
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: a big ad for us.

109
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: Like the vibe of the team has been this week?

110
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: Has it felt the same?

111
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 7: Does it?

112
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 8: Do they? Does it seem any different than.

113
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: I think it's different every week.

114
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean it's a good question. You know, it's never

115
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: exactly the same. I think the general the general principle,

116
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: I mean, vibe is an interesting way to say it,

117
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: and and it's it's it's true, but generally speaking, these

118
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: guys are really professional guys. I mean, the general vibe is, hey,

119
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: let's go to work, you know, let's work together.

120
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: Let's be the best we can be.

121
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: And they work so hard at it with you know,

122
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: like we say, intentionality, and they're and they're and they're

123
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: they're determined to have the best practice and the best

124
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: game that they can and have, you know, and obviously

125
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: that's challenging because.

126
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: This is a tough league. Man, this is competitive. You know.

127
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Anybody that thinks it's easy, you know that things you

128
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: just look at the tape or something, even even the

129
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: guys that you know do it for a living or

130
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: who played in the NFL or coach in the NFL,

131
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, and you know it's.

132
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: You see what you see, and it's all right.

133
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: But it's not easy, you know, because you're going to

134
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: getst really smart people and really good players, and it's

135
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 2: really highly competitive.

136
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: And you guys, know you watch the games, how how

137
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: how how physical.

138
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: And how tough it is and how fast it is

139
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: and and all that kind of stuff.

140
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: That's why it's such an appealing game, you know.

141
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: So our guys understand that and they want to they

142
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: want to work hard and be their best, and we

143
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: keep chasing that, you know, and hopefully, we hopefully, and

144
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: I believe I'm certain that we will get good results,

145
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: but we got to keep keep fighting for those things.

146
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: So that's the vibe, and I would say it's been

147
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: really good and really positive and really determined those lines.

148
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 9: I mean, you deal with the setback this week without

149
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 9: getting in those specifics.

150
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 5: Who gets injured during the practice and not again situation, Well.

151
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: It was from the game. It was something that happened

152
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: during the game. I got carried over a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

153
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: so it's yeah, that's to be clear about that.

154
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, looking at what Cooper did in Dallas, it seems

155
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: like he gets rid of the ball pretty quickly, but

156
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: he's also pretty aggressive. I mean, what do you kind

157
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: of like about a guy who can can do both things.

158
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that's right.

159
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that that's kind of to your point

160
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: if you want to dig in about Cooper per se.

161
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 3: You know, his his uh you know way he plays

162
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: like the Cooper game.

163
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: You know, it's, uh, that's what he does, you know,

164
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: and I think he's really good at it. So that's

165
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: he's got to play his his his style, you know,

166
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: the way he plays, you know, within the offense, and

167
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: he knows the offense.

168
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: And we're ready to go.

00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: There's there's a lot of defensive coordinators that are, you know,

173
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: facing the same thing. You know, in the NFL offensive coordinators,

180
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: doesn't try to hide anything. You know, he just puts

181
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,000

207
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 7: always a lot better when you get all the reps

208
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 7: in practice like that to prepare yourself for a game

209
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 7: compared to a usual week where you're preparing all that

210
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 7: but you don't get those reps, so those are important.

211
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: How did you feel leading the week went down there

212
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,000

Speaker 7: Preparation, it was good. Uh, you know, felt felt Crisp

214
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 7: got a good plan and being out there with the

215
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 7: with the one group and you know, understand the receivers

216
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 7: and what they see and how they see it and

217
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 7: tight ends and things like that.

220
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 7: and how they how they run it and then try

221
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 7: to replicate that and get a good feel for it.

222
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 6: How much do you lean on experience? I mean you're

223
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 6: just started to think of fourteen or fifteen games in

224
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 6: your career. How much do you lean on that experience

225
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 6: when you go into a situation like this.

226
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,000

227
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,880

228
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 7: nothing new, and uh so you lean on that. You

229
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 7: get confidence from it and just trust yourself and if

230
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,839

233
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: a must win game in Baltimore? I guess with your

234
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: experience playing quarterback for one of the biggest franchises in

235
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: the world like that, does does anything feel like pressurize

236
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,640

00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 7: They all feel like must wins? I mean, it doesn't

238
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 7: feel any like I said, It's kind of been here before.

239
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 7: You know, whenever a franchise QP goes down it's always. Uh,

240
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 7: sky is falling feeling everywhere you are and it's normal.

241
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,040

Speaker 7: So things like that are good.

245
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: What's your message to the guys this week? I mean,

246
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 5: Lamar is a leader, he's a starter. But you know,

247
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 5: if you're the guy, what's your messages? Don't leader out

Speaker 3: Things like that. He's been helpful.

263
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: Or you buy this supporting cast that you have on offense.

264
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like I've said before, really versatile, really deep

265
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 7: in every room with guys that can do different things,

266
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: you know, throughout the position groups. So it's a lot

267
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 7: of fun. You turn around, you got the back we do,

268
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 7: the tight ends, we do. We can do a lot

269
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 7: with the receivers, hand it to them, throw it to them.

270
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 7: So it's it's fun. Then upfront, those guys are experience,

271
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,600

Speaker 7: out and practice it too. It's a it's a lot

279
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 7: better than just coming in with no practice reps in

280
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 7: the middle of a game. So it's uh so I've

281

Speaker 1: Last up, today, we have rookie safety Malachi Starts.

294
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: Okay, if you had nowhere in the dream that held

295
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: the communication of its all, do you feel comfortable doing.

296
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 4: That really on calls?

297
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

298
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,239
Speaker 8: I think, Uh, the biggest thing is just like communication,

299
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 8: you know, and that's something that we've practiced throughout the week.

300
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 7: Uh.

301
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 8: But you know, I think whoever is gonna end up

302
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 8: wearing it, they're gonna do a great job because that's

303
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 8: something that you know, like we've practiced and we are wrong,

304
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 8: But no, I think you know, whoever's gonna go to

305
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 8: it's gonna be great.

306
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 5: How different is it out there without Kyle Hamilton and

307
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: what would be like on Sunday became?

308
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I mean it's different. You know, you

309
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 8: spend all that time with somebody, but you know, I

310
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 8: was here, uh, you know, Tvas and stuff with you know,

311
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 8: Rude and News and everybody, KeAndre and everybody that's gonna

312
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 8: could be back there. So I think the biggest thing

313
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 8: is just building that relationship. I think that's why connection

314
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 8: is such a big park, you know, cause you never

315
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 8: know who you're gonna be out there. It was so

316
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 8: just really being comfortable with who I'm out there with

317
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 8: and just really fun around having fun, And I think

318
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 8: that's what we're gonna do.

319
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 4: How do you think things are going to far for you?

320
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 7: I'm sure a guy who's made to many places over

321
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 7: his career, you it's your but you also don't wanna

322
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 7: try to do too much?

323
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 9: Yeah that position? How how do you kind of balance that?

324
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

325
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 8: I think the biggest thing is just knowing your job

326
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 8: and knowing your role. You know, like when the play

327
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 8: comes to you, it is your job to make it.

328
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 8: You know, when it comes, it comes, and it doesn't

329
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 8: it doesn't.

330
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

331
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 8: I think that's the that's the really good thing about

332
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 8: being on this defense, and like you're playing with a

333
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 8: a group of guys who can do their job or

334
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 8: any at anything. Getting a point so it just really

335
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 8: not trying to overstep, you know, stay on my landing
