- 1:13Speaker 1: When we talked to you after the Titans game, you
- 1:14Speaker 1: mentioned the defense didn't play the standard, particularly at the
- 1:17Speaker 1: end there.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You literally have a lot of touchdowns since then. Was
- 1:19Speaker 2: it something about that game maybe or how it finished
- 1:21Speaker 2: you guys maybe just reinforced what the standard was on defense? Yeah,
- 1:24Speaker 2: of course, Like I said, we knew we didn't play
- 1:26Speaker 2: tire stdent as a group as a whole. We talked
- 1:28Speaker 2: about it like when we get on the bus, you know,
- 1:30Speaker 2: on the plane and stuff, and we just said we
- 1:32Speaker 2: had to get back to our roots, like we can't
- 1:34Speaker 2: go out there and let see's like that hang around
- 1:36Speaker 2: with you, cause then this lead they'll beat you. You know.
- 1:37Speaker 2: So we just had to regroup, refocus, do the things
- 1:41Speaker 2: that we do best. And that's the outcome. So were
- 1:44Speaker 2: some of the things that you've changed or that you
- 1:45Speaker 2: started getting back to?
- 1:47Speaker 1: Uh?
- 1:47Speaker 2: Since then?
- 1:47Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 1:48Speaker 2: It just had to be ourselves, like the way we
- 1:49Speaker 2: play football, like the way we wrest the quarterback, the
- 1:51Speaker 2: way we defend in the back end, the way we
- 1:54Speaker 2: communicate as a whole as a group. You know what
- 1:55Speaker 2: I'm saying. It tastes all of us out there, and
- 1:57Speaker 2: I and and you see what it is when it
- 1:59Speaker 2: don't when we don't do that, and then you see
- 2:01Speaker 2: it is when we do do it. So you know,
- 2:02Speaker 2: shout out to my group for show.
- 2:04Speaker 1: With that in mind to keep me out of the
- 2:06Speaker 1: indoe on that last drive. I mean, you gotsh at
- 2:08Speaker 1: that point it pretty much won the game. But then
- 2:09Speaker 1: not let him score Happig goes off here.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Uh it's big man. You know. We take pride in
- 2:13Speaker 2: what we do.
- 2:13Speaker 1: You know.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Coach Mike always says, you know, we just need a
- 2:17Speaker 2: blade of grass called uh coach a d coach CP,
- 2:20Speaker 2: all of 'em. We always preached that every day and
- 2:21Speaker 2: to me. You know, you just give us a blade
- 2:23Speaker 2: of grass, bro, that's all we need. And and the
- 2:26Speaker 2: guys went out there and h handle business.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So on the PLA on your interception, it looks like
- 2:30Speaker 1: maybe you were gonna bloods and then you kind of
- 2:31Speaker 1: backed out of that.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Or is that what happened on that or yeah, we
- 2:33Speaker 2: were just saying the lot, dis guys, you know, give
- 2:36Speaker 2: him a little flavor.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Some th the game, the academy at the sack the
- 2:40Speaker 1: interception and block the cat communities. What can you say
- 2:42Speaker 1: about the way he's playing.
- 2:44Speaker 2: I don't know, it's hard to say anything by the
- 2:46Speaker 2: way we're playing with his brother playing his ass all
- 2:47Speaker 2: right now. Like I said, man, he see his FoST
- 2:51Speaker 2: it's like he can't it's nothing he can't do. I
- 2:54Speaker 2: mean he's strong, he physical, bruh. I don't know, it's
- 2:58Speaker 2: just it's just lots of words. Brother. But he had
- 3:00Speaker 2: the hell of a game today, and we always talk
- 3:02Speaker 2: about it every day, Like you know, j one of
- 3:04Speaker 2: these days you gonna have a great game, you know,
- 3:05Speaker 2: But don't let the game get to you. Just it's
- 3:08Speaker 2: just another play. You feel me when we do that
- 3:10Speaker 2: all the time. And then when you make those players
- 3:11Speaker 2: in practice and when it happened in the game, you know,
- 3:13Speaker 2: they just another play to you. I think this was
- 3:15Speaker 2: the first game all year you've had the entire start
- 3:17Speaker 2: of defense healthy, uh and available. Can you feel uh
- 3:20Speaker 2: that impact out there? Of course? Man, Like we haven't
- 3:23Speaker 2: been as a whole in a long time. But I think,
- 3:26Speaker 2: like I said, the special thing about us bro like
- 3:28Speaker 2: next man up mentality, Like everybody prepares like they're gonna
- 3:32Speaker 2: play like and that's and that's the the culture we
- 3:34Speaker 2: build in course might help us build on defense, bro,
- 3:37Speaker 2: like everybody's gonna play. We we always talk about it
- 3:39Speaker 2: in a practice, so it's like we always prepare us one.
- 3:42Speaker 2: But it feel good to get the whole group back
- 3:43Speaker 2: out there again. But like I said, we gonna need
- 3:46Speaker 2: those guys come down the stretch, and I know they'll
- 3:49Speaker 2: be ready.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Did you know there's uh rashietcha heat and practice as
- 3:51Speaker 1: we kind of picking.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Up this chemistry with Saint Darnold, Uh yeah, lit bit
- 3:55Speaker 2: you know, I I it takes the time to uh
- 3:57Speaker 2: build a chemistry like that, especially in mid season, coming

- 4:02Speaker 2: whatever he needs to do, and today he took one
- 4:05Speaker 2: to the crib, shout out to call Mike. Mike called
- 4:07Speaker 2: that colet madonnak He called that for sure. During halftime,
