  Speaker 1: yeah I remember that question. Uh yeah, it went beautiful, man,

  Speaker 1: the game. I actually was in my f my my
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: room last night doing like charades with the signals and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But uh it it worked out perfectly.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Uh me and Julian Ray, uh Lispoon, uh reeq uh Cavon.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We were all on the same page. And man, it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful when you have good, good communication. Because you had
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to do that how much Born commanded the defensori, then
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: maybe when we could go to go through the experience
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in different ways. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good question.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I mean if yeah, I just gotta be consistent every day,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, with different calls, gotta come up with different
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: signals and stuff like that. So I feel I feel
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: very confident of my ability to lead. I feel I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: feel very confident in my ability to also follow, because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, every good leader is also a good follower.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited for keep stacking these wins. That was
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: like McDonald in your ear between Oh he's calm, he's cool, calm. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he's just he's just even Stephen. Yeah, so that's what
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you want from a signal caller. The first game can
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be really tough from a tackling standpoints. Is you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the preseason, a lot of times starters play very much,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but it seems like your guys an open field tackling
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is really on the point most of this game. But
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: how do you feel like the preparation set up with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that because it's so hard, there's such a blur with
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the what you're allowed to do, Yeah, training camp and stuff,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: trying to prepare to play a real game. Yeah. So
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so one of our coaches, he's like, the the we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: call it, which is making taking the right angles to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the ball and just running to the ball with intentional,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: with intent, not just running to the ball just I'm
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gonna go get on this tackle, but like really running
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to the ball, taking precise angles. Uh, and just and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just knowing where you are on the field, you know
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So a lot of the guys were
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: taking their shots because they know where their help was.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Like Ray made so many big plays today on those
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: shakedowns because he knew that if he if he missed it,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm right there. So that's what That's what it takes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that's his trust. That's what it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: takes to build on a good defense. Getting to see
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: both out there playing together and see how that connection
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is really working on the field. What was it like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: being out there with him today? Man? It was it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was a blessing. I mean he he actually coached me
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up during the game like he's like, you know, he's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: been doing this for so long. I actually learned a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: couple of things from him today. And just Jeromes even
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Stevening day and uh, he's not as he's very loud
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and aggressive the opposite then off the field, Uh, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I love Jerom. Some people see me as a leader
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in the linebacker room and the defense. But he's my leader,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: so uh, I'm blessed to have him, and I can't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wait to keep stacking these wings with him. You guys
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: didn't give up a touchdowns for laming the game, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: uh just the defense in general. Uh, how fun is it,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I guess to play with these guys and how much
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: better can the defense get in? Or do you anticipate
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the defense getting much better too? Yeah? I'm like I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: told uh someone about my vision for this defense. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: mean we're not there yet. Like good def great, great defenses,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: don't let anyone score, don't let anyone in our end zone.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So we were kind of mad at that, but yeah,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just excited to keep working with the guys,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: keep keep stacking those days on top of days, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: keep getting better, cause like you have to be consistent
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in this league, you know, Uh, in a offense can't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: score like simple as that. Like, I don't care who
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: it is. I don't care if Tom Brady came back
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and I retired, I don't no one's no one's scoring
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on us. So w I took that to heart. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get a fixed. Good Thanks you all. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: appreciate everyone, yet thank you
