  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know I have the high I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: speak in the highest regard for Leo. I think right

  Speaker 1: now he's playing at a defensive player of the year
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: category level, at a caliber for sure player of the month.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: He I mean, these past two weeks he's balling and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it's just his approach. I mean, he takes care of

• 0:51
  Speaker 1: all that's going on, he's so steady. And then above
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all that, he's incredibly talented and when he takes advantage
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of a matchup. I mean he senses it from play one.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He just he just blown the water for the whole game. Uh,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and we needed him today. I mean he was a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: difference maker.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: How do you how do you guys kind of stay
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: focused or stake or whatever.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, so much crazy stuff going on as a defense,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: you guys are having to go immediately back on the
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: field the one time and things like that. How do
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: you guys kind of state stadi?
• 1:16

• 1:26
  Speaker 1: on the field to try to get a stop, make
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a play. Now with our mindset, I mean we have
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: so many good leaders and dogs on that defense. Uh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: everyone I think had that approach of I'm going to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be the difference maker. Every single person was taking upon
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: themselves to be a difference maker and just stay steady.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And I think throughout the game we were just like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we were Our swag was just going
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: up despite all the crazy stuff that was happening, and
• 1:47

• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Try to finish the game.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: How about your four?

  Speaker 1: from the first first quarter. Uh, yeah, that was a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: good play obviously.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Just that's a really good running back. Uh.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He's elusive. Uh, he's strong, and uh I was able
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to square him up. Get I think my helmet on
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the ball. Uh and Jared loose. Uh, big play and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'm happy I can make it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Unconsciously going for that for the ball and a little
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: tackle in that situational.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just trying to I'm trying to start momentum.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You know. He kind of hit that the gap pretty hard. Uh.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm a deep safety. I'm just trying to fill
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and just get him down. Kind of last resort type
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of guy and or type of player. And yeah, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just was had good balance, squared him up pretty pretty decently,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and the ball popped out.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And you and uh Leo played here for a long time.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: No longer video because he played for both teams.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Any extra emotion anything said between you guys about coming
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: back here today.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we definitely have talked this week and just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: getting in town. Whenever we got in town, Uh, it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was just a different energy for sure.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You know it's familiar.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You know, we have still a lot of friends out here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: The sights of sounds were used to even the locker
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: room where at you know I was talking to you earlier.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: We I'm familiar with it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We were in it during COVID when when we were
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: both on the team out here, and so we were
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just ready. I mean we were used to the sights
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and sounds and allowed us to play fast and just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: try to be there for our team.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Top you had on the final drive on the short checkdown.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: What did you see that you were able to diagnose
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: it that quick?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Great play call. I'll give credit to Mike, great play call.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, Aaron felt pressure and uh, thankfully I was
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: rolling down, saw the back try to slip out and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just made a play.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'll give it all credit to the play call and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just me just had to be in the right place
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and just make a tackle. Were you guys aware on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the sideline in the moment of what was going on
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: with Michael Pixon? I was because I'm on punt and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they had to run over and tell the defense kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of what it was to just stay ready on fourth
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: downs because we didn't know what was gonna happen whether
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we were going forward or doing whatever.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy, just this game had everything very crazy.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw Arizon a loss.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: You guys are in first place all by yourselves now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: just kind of everything that has happened the last three weeks.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: When you know, you guys kind of coming out of
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the buy, maybe things didn't look as good and out here.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess kind of how do you put that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: in perspective and everything?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I think it starts, you know, from the top of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: John and and crew and just a vision for what
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we wanted to do and just personnel things. Obviously, you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: guys know it's been a lot of change these past
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this past month for sure, and it was just cohesive.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Ever just to stay together, you know, we can't. We
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: made the approach, made the decision to not just do
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the same things, uh and just expect a different result.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We just had a sharper approach. We like I mentioned before,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know, we stayed committed to challenging each other, taking
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: things personally in practice to to where we had that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: confidence in swagg going into games. And I mean despite
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the winds, I think our our approach is to treat
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Monday is Monday, Wednesday's winding, no matter what the situation is.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And so I mean that's great that where we're at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in the division. But we have stuff to do. You know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Arizona is a solid team and the are gonna they're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: kind of try to get one back on us next week.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And so same approach, attack mentality, that's our mindset.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: What does it do for defense when you have three
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: safeties out there who can all kind of do different things,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: play different spots.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It's huge.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just I'm very grateful to be part
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of this safety unit. Obviously they look to me as
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: as kind of a leader and just kind of that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: mental you know, mental tip of the spear for everything.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But Kobe is such a playmaker. He just you guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have seen it for years. Just gets the ball like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he's around the ball. He makes tackles and then Ray,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, is this a baller. We need his sy
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: his energy and his physicality, and so all of us
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: really compliment each other and I think it unlocks our
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: defense and do more things with all of us on
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: On the second and.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Ten play just before Leonard sack, when they dumped the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: ball up in the middle and you ran up and
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: dropped him for for no game talk about what you
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: saw on.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: That play, yes, well last series.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so we were sending a pressure there, Rogers
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: can see all pressures in everything.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Uh and he idead it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: The back slipped out and I was just coming down
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a hill and just had to make a tackle, uh
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: me and him and just create a you know, tackle
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for loss or a no gain. So yeah, a great
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: play call, obviously kind of baiting Rogers and dump that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: down and just made a tackle.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Anything else, guys, all right, you guys,
