  Speaker 1: Lions Lin's offense.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Just what what stands out to them or about them
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: and how do you sort of attack it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: It's a complete group. They're playing at a high level,
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: very efficient quarterback play is fantastic. It's doing a really
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: good job. No one want to go to the ball
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: getting the ball out, you know. And then the runners
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: are uh some top of the league right now like that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Both guys are doing a really good job offensive line.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Just they're just the way they're they're playing, their operating
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: and then you can group that's been together and and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: operating at a high level. And so we've we've definitely
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: got a really good test. We got to go out there,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: we got to execute play our game.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Is that a complete is an offensive unit. As you've
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: seen all your weapons at every level.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: We've played some good offenses, like we really have. But
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: this this group is up there. I mean, they're the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: way they're operating and and you know, even for to
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: come back from a negative play and they get right
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: back on track and and keep it a third and manageable.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's very impressive. Ben has done a really
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: good job you know with the group, getting everybody together.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: They got some really good coaches, you know, obviously Dan
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and and you know he does a great job with
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the team and the operation. You can tell he's got
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: his fingerprints all over it. And it's gonna be a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: heck of the test or physical, tough group to play,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and we're excited we'll be ready for How do you sort.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Of evaluate last week's performance?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, four dree yards giving up, but then you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: twelve points three interceptions?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: How do you reconcile with that?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Sure that you know yards are the most important thing
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: is the win and then points right, And so that's
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: where we really look at. We don't want to be
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: on the field. We got to do better job getting
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: off on third down, those type of things, tackling a
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: little bit better. You know, we could have had a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: couple more interceptions thought, and then you know, we got
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to get the quarterback on the ground a few too
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: many scrambles and so the whole thing. But overall, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I just guys keep getting better, you know, That's that's
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing. And one play at a time, one
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: game at a time, and that's what we're stressing. Just
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: just get better from last game. And I think that
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the guys did. They played really hard, our players, they
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: played tough. I thought we executed at a pretty good
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: level last week and now it's just doing it again,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: you know a little bit better at this time. Like
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: that's that's the most important thing. And so you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: we've given up a few too many yards, but ultimately
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the points is where it's at and the win we
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: want to win ultimately, So but you know we're going
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: in the right direction.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: When it came to.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Service, they feel like the line secondary were kind of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: working and saying the past rush helping kind of create.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Some of those Yeah, the whole group, you know, the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: whole thing, because it's all it's it's rushing coverage together, right,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you know, you get interior push a lot, you know
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: on the quarterback, make it hard for him to throw,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, changing coverages and things like that. And I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: thought our secondary did a really good job of just
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: showing one thing and doing another thing. And so it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: pretty good us are getting his first interception of his
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: career doing it covering justin Jefferson, just how much indication
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: was that for the work.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I guess it's awesome.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It's awesome if you're fired up for him. The look
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: on his face on the side, like coming off, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: just just being excited about playing football. Like that's the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: thing you love about it. You know, he doesn't bad
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: an eye. He just keeps playing, you know, and things
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like that. You know, just stay the course, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: just just keep doing you know, the little things better
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and good things start to start to happen for you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And that's I think that's what you're starting to see
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: with him and some other guys.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Excited about the idea of going up against the Pinasu
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Are there are many offensive tackles like him, just putting
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: that complete package like him that you've seen. Yeah, he's
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a very good player in the run in the past.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: He's he's a very very good football player. Shoot their
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: hooking lateral to him and you know, putting them out
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: on passes. So you know that that tells you everything
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you need to know. Not many, not many, So it'll
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: be a good matchup Savage, that's right. Yeah, when you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: not getting a lot of turnovers and then you get
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: a one, be is that sort of like a catharted
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: thing that kind of maybe open the hope. So you
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: hope they come in bunches, you know, it's just part
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: of just staying the course and you hope it continues
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to to go that way and two or three game,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that's what you're really I mean, that would be really good,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: really good to end the season. You know, you'd be
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: in one, if you were two or three in the game,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you'd be top or one of the top in the league.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And so that's you know, we just got to continue
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that trend and continue with what we're doing. Thought our
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: guests caught the ball, but then there's a couple of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: things you point out, like we could have had a
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: couple more, you know, we had one and you can't
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: really comment on the you know, but it was like
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Darby made a great play. You made a great play.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It was it was a it was a fantastic play.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And so that was another one. You know, we had
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of other opportunities and we got to cash
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: in on those. And so that's what's working on this week.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: As last week.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: How much of that is in the plan moving forward
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and what sort of took you guys from switching.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Them out like it had been so, you know, just
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: a game pla. Some weeks are a little bit different
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: than others. Nothing really to put a finger on and say, hey,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: this is the reason why we did it. It's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the game plan. It'll be a little bit different this week,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know. So it's just kind of the matchups that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: we're that we're going in, the coverages that we're playing,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and it was more of a foyer game this week
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: but this last week, but you know, this week may
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: be different. What are the keys when you play a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: team that doesn't play action as much as this one does.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: A couple of things. You got to get interior push,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you know, we've got to be able to convert from
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: run to pass quicker, you know, and be able to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: maybe steal some things and get up the field a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: little bit better. And then we've got to be sticky
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: in coverage, you know, those types of things. Don't let
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the guys you know, fake block. And this is a
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: really good double move team as well, Like we've got
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to do a really good job with our eyes on
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: our on our receivers and our coverage, you know. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: then and then not let them hold it all day
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and throw the ball, you know, down the field because
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: golf can make all the throats, so his deep ball
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: game is it's a very impressive. Yeah, awesome, Thank you,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: thank
