1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,680
Speaker 1: What's up?

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, start with this, like what what does it look

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: like like? Have you even slept? You know, when did

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: you get back? And what's going on here?

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. We're ready to roll though, all right,

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 3: New day suns up, ready to roll.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: So I wanted to ask you about Devon Godchaw. You've

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: talked about in the past about how critical he is

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: to the defense. Has he taken his play to a

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: higher level this year?

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say for me, in in my opinion,

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: I think you know, Devon got chall is one of

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: the best run defender, especially defensive tackles as a nose tackle, uh,

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: in the game. He does a really good job throughout

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: the week, you know, preparing, really good block recognition, really

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: good run explosion, really good block destruction, and really good

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: job and it just you know, overall just making tackles.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: So to me, he's everything you want in a nose

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: tackle and he's done a really good a job for

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: our defense this year, and you know every year he's

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: been here.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 2: Mike, you're there, I'm here, DeMarcus. Thanks for the answer.

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: I was I was just turning it over to someone else.

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that.

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: I appreciate the answer, you know, I mean, sometimes that's

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: hard to tell, but the numbers don't lie. I mean,

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: what do you guys, what are you guys giving up

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: average per rush? Isn't it like like almost three even

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: at this point? I mean, do you do you know

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: the number off the top of your head is three.

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little bit too much.

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 2: It might even be too much yet, Yeah, what what

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: what else might I be missing? You know, I asked

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: about Devon, But what else might I be missing? The

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: contribute in your view that contributes to that, well.

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: I think you need to be talking about three three.

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: Anthony Jennings. Anthony Jenni is a guy who doesn't get

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: a lot of credit. Well, I think it needs some credit.

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: He's a guy that shows up every day and he's

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: a part of the setting the edge of the defense.

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: When you set the edge of the defense, that goes

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: right back to who divine got y'all and so Andfredy

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,120

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,760

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: him of what they've done for us, you know, as

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: far as early down run defender. You know, so, I

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: mean I think that's a guy that we all need

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: to be talking about.

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000

Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate it. And next question NICKO Melly.

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: Hey to Marcus. First off, going to the game on

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: Saturday as a Bill trying to recruit all the coaches.

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Hey, there's no tickets. Where's the ticket supposed.

56
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: To come from?

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: I assume Bill has had him?

58
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Hey, we all assume you know what that means, right?

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: I want to ask a specific play the second time

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: the Steelers ran that pitch from the half back to

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: the receiver on the reverse and Dietrich gets into the

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: backfield and does we see a lot of guys get

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: in that spot where they get good penetration. The guy's

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: moving laterally, but Dietrich does a really good job of

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: sort of keeping with him on that play and keeping

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: him playing contained on that What's it kind of show

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 4: for his value for a guy who sets the edge

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 4: like that but also just moves in the open field

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: like that like Dietrich does. Because I feel like a

70
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: lot of guys that are as heavy as Dietrich, they're

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: going to get smoked on that play.

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think for him it starts with awareness.

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: So you know number nineteen and thirty, those guys, we

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: knew those guys were able to run those type of

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: plays and reverses and speed sweeps and start with his

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: awareness and then just doing his job on that play,

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: which those are things that we work on. That's a

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: fundamentalary defense that you know, on those type of plays,

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: being able to make that when it.

80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Goes back to your side.

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: And and I would say, just just along just his ability.

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: You know, he can do whatever he puts his mind to.

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: He has ability. That's why he's out there.

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: That's why he's one of the core found founders of

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: our defense. And I would say for us, you know,

86
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: when he's out there, we can we can trust everything

87
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 3: that he's doing.

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: And Christian we saw last night, got to four and

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: a half sacks on the air, which either gives him

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: the lead or ties him for the lead on the

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: team with sacks. How far has he progressed as a

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: pass rusher.

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: I mean just I would say he's progressed in every

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: phase of the game. So you know, from whether this

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: is year three form or whatever. So I mean, I

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: think this year he's done a good job of really

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: being a you know, a run player, a pass player,

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: like a whole total package as a as a defensive tackle,

99
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: you know, not just a good pass rusher, just his

100
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: whole fundamentals and technique. And that goes back to the

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: credit to him. Continue to you know one, stay healthy,

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: to just work on this game through our practice, investment

103
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: into the playbook, you know, earning the trust in respect

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: of his teammates. He's done a good job of that,

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: and then it's showing on the field and he's playing

106
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: very dominant right now.

107
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: Thank you.
