1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Matthew, I know no moral victories, but considering the hole 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: that you guys find yourself in, the way you played 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Hurts some particular was impressive. What was the plan against him? 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: Because he looked uncertain for a better part of the night. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 3: I believe that we just know what our defense can do. 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 3: We know how we can move pieces, everybody interchangeable. Uh, 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: just making him have to read our defense. We're not 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: trying to let him or any other offense dictate the game. 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 3: We're trying to dictate the game. We're trying to be aggressive. 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 3: So we moving, were moving, We're dropping in and out 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: of different coverages. We're just not sitting in one coverage. 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: We're not sitting in cover one like they have great 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 3: wide receivers. We had to get our hands on and 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 3: uh just mix up to look for him and money 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: to look up for him. 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 4: Matthew, I'm not sure how much of Mac you just heard, 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 4: but he really took the blame for the loss on 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 4: his own shoulders. He said he let the defense down. 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 4: What's your reaction when you hear your quarterback talk that way? 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 3: I think as a quarterback, that's kind of how you 22 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 3: gotta uh come up here. 23 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 5: And talk to y'all, but we don't care about that. 24 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: Like Mac went out there and played his butt off. Uh, 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: it was unfortunately we got a couple of bad calls, 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: We got a h a couple of penalties here and there. 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 5: Uh we can't, we can't. We can't put that loss 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 5: on Mac. 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: Matt, Mac played his butt off and Uh, every opportunity 30 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: that he have had, he made it made him count. 31 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: And so we gotta as a defense, we just got 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: to do a better job of keep getting him the 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: ball back. Like we we gotta play. We gotta play 34 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: whatever situation we end. 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 5: That's how we gotta play. Matt. 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: What did you think of some of the performances you 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: got tonight from the rookies? 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 5: Christian Martin Keon, it's a welcome to the NFL. Man. 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: We we knew when we drafted him and we got 40 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: them in here and they actually put pats on that 41 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: they were they were really good players. And I thank 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: for uh Ganzo to go out there and play the 43 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: way he played. Uh, for Kean to get in and 44 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: to play the play, how physically he played, and when 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: Marty was in the game, him making plays and just 46 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 3: kind of being all over the field. I don't really 47 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: know Marty background too much. I watched highlights and things 48 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: like that. For him, for him to be able to 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: play linebacker, safety, and outside linebacker, Uh, that's that's it's 50 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: kind of unbelievable. And as a rookie, he those guys, 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: those three guys got a lot on their plate and 52 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: they handled it, handed it, handled it tonight exceptionally. 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 5: And uh, they went out there and played. 54 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 6: It butt sof Matthew, Matthew, that that play that you 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 6: bro made at the end to get you guys with 56 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 6: the ball back. 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 5: What do you think of that? 58 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: Jabriel hit her Man Gabriel walk around the weight room 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: and locker room shadow boxing, so we know he a 60 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: physical guy. Uh, you're gonna hear him regardless. And and uh, 61 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: last year it was unfortunate that we couldn't get him 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: on the field as much. But last year it was 63 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: kind of like the same situation. And he told me, like, 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: go out there and make a play. And today I 65 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: told him that, and first down he got us the 66 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: ball back. 67 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 5: H That's what we needed. 68 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: And Uh, I think we're gonna see a lot more 69 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: of those type of plays, big hits being in the 70 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: right spot just good plays by a great player. 71 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 5: Man. 72 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 6: You guys had a lot of success, got some stops, 73 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 6: some unblocked rushers using cover zero. Why did you think 74 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 6: that would be something that you could use to your 75 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 6: advantage coming into this game? 76 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: Againstreland hurts, it's just how they like the run a offense. 77 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: You know, they if they get to back out, it's 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: nobody to help them, and they got to squeeze the line, 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: and uh, it's just him versus the edge, and so 80 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: our edge just had to play big for us tonight. 81 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: I think we did a pretty good job, but I 82 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: think just making him and it wasn't always cover zero. 83 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: We just had to make it look like that. 84 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: So that's that's just a different look for a guy. 85 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 5: And you got to read it fast, Matt. Each game 86 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 5: is a different learning experience. What did you learn about 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 5: this football team tonight? Not just the defense, but the 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 5: team collectively. I ain't learned and already know. That's what y'all. 89 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 5: Y'all learned. Y'all learn what we have in his locker room. 90 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: Y'all learn what it's gonna look like on Sundays or 91 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: whenever we play. 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 5: That's what y'all learn. We ain't learned nothing new tonight, Matt. 93 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 5: You've the last couple of years since you've been here. 94 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 7: The stats have looked pretty good defensively, the points allowed 95 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 7: top five of the league I think two years ago. Second, 96 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 7: but there's been a problem getting teams off the field 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter. You did it twice in the 98 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 7: last five minutes when you were down sixteen nothing. I 99 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 7: think there were three three and outs in a row. 100 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 7: Is there something a little different? Is there experience? Is 101 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 7: this coming together? This this defense in front of us 102 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 7: right now? 103 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: We gotta we gotta keep playing like that, and we 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: gotta keep playing fast and physical and uh, you know, 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: first game, you can't say, oh, yeah, that's what we are. Uh, 106 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: that's what we want to be. Though, that's what we 107 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: want to be. We don't want to get him off 108 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: the field. 109 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 5: Uh. 110 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: And so that's tonight was a small step and a 111 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: long stride is a long season. We gotta keep playing 112 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: like that. We gotta keep being fundamentally sound. 113 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 5: Uh. 114 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 3: You know, they was kind of running the ball third down. 115 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: They thought they could run the ball, and so that 116 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: might give opponents from here on out like okay, instead 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: of trying to deal with their pass rush let's just 118 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 3: run the ball and see what we can get. Uh, 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: we gotta stop all that and uh so it was 120 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: a small step and a long season. 121 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 6: Matt No Devin today, obviously first game that he's not playing. 122 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 6: How would you say the communication was from front to back, 123 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 6: substitution adjustments on the fly, things of that nature. 124 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: Sure, I think the biggest miss for me having Devn 125 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 3: and Devin used to make it like this concoction of 126 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 3: like stuff that you used to rub on your leg 127 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: before the game. And I'm like, I look at my 128 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 3: locker for it. I look at my locker for it, 129 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: and I'm like and I text him like, man, come on, bruh, 130 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: Like you gotta do your job. But uh, you know, 131 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 3: not having dead out there, I think the communication was good. 132 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: The communication was fine. We didn't have too many ems 133 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 3: with the first game and it was a loud out 134 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: there when we was on the field for defense, so 135 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: we didn't have too many emms. And without death, I 136 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: think stuff gonna run smooth around here. 137 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Matthew, most guys would love to have a game 138 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: like you had to saying the defensive side of the ball. 139 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 5: Is it kind of routine for you at this point? 140 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 5: Or do you kind of look at the havoc. 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: That you reaked and have you satisfaction in that A 142 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: and B When you play against Laue quarterback, is there 143 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: anything different in terms of your mindset. 144 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: No, you know, I'm never satisfied no matter how good 145 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 3: of a game I had, or you know that what 146 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: the stats look like, like, I want to win more 147 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: than anything else.
