  Speaker 1: How are we doing? Good? Good, yeah. Thank you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: What can you say about the way the team routed
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: in the second half?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: If you're on offense, you guys don't defense get the stops?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: It was the perfect type of game you would want
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: for week one. Just a lot of adversity. It wasn't
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: very clean. But we stuck together. We were so.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Confident and cool and collected at halftime. It's like, let's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: go be us. Clean up a little bit and make
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: plays when we need to make plays. And it'll go
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: our way. And it did, thankfully. I don't know if
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you're Cooper just now, but how much.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Does this team just have that belief that someone's.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Going to make the play?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's... That's probably the number one thing we have, I think,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is we're just going to find a way. Like, might
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: be scoring a bunch of points, might be shutting out
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a team, special teams making plays, whatever.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We'll find a way.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Like, that's, I think, the sign of a great team
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is just to be able to do it in multiple ways.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And so this had a little bit of everything in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: this game. And, yeah, just obviously it's great to win it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You guys were down multiple safeties for Rodney to come
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in and play the way that he did in this game,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: get that big tip that intercepts. What can you say
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: about the way that he played and just kind of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: how your involvement there, just making sure he's.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: On the right page? Yeah, I think for me, just
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: as a leader in general, as a teammate, as a friend,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to be stern for him and just
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: be somebody he can look to, lean on for certain things.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: First time playing in front of the 12s, it's loud.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's tough to make checks on defense. But just all spring,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: all camp, he's been making plays. He's tough as heck.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And so... Obviously, him stepping up today, there's no one flinched.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: We just said, all right, let's spend with Rod. He's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a good ball player, and yeah, I thought he was
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: going to get it when he went up for that pick.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He's just so athletic.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: He's a freak athlete, and so he goes up and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: makes a play for us.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: He had a great game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Even though they completed the pass, that hit you had
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to start the second half, do you feel like that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: kind of fired you guys up on defense? Yeah, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: think we had to get the 12s involved a little bit.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We weren't making enough plays, and so yeah, they got
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the first down on that, and I don't like celebrating
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: when a team gets the first down, but I'm like, man,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: let's just, let's just send it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, I see a big hit. Um, and just, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It's a rallying cry. It's like, all right, somebody just
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: make one more, one more play.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: What do you think of Joe? That was an impressive pick. Uh,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Josh Joe, man, he has such a game.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: He's such a, a steady presence for us as a pro,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: as a, as a person. And yeah, critical moment, end
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of the game to go up like that and get
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: perfectly two toes in. Um, or two feet in is incredible.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: He's worked hard, and so, yeah, that's a great play.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Julian, Drake seemed like he was trying to be pretty,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, protective during the game. Take what was there
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to him, and then he started to push things downfield a.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Little bit and give you guys some opportunities to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: ready for those moments when the ball became available to you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: How critical was that for you? Yeah, it's like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: obviously, you know, from the last time we played them,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it was a lot of pressure, you know, from multiple sides.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: D-line was getting involved.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, today was a lot of quick games,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: IDing our pressures, getting it, spinning the ball out, taking
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: their moments to try to throw it deep. And we're like, okay,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we got to stay patient. We can't chase plays because
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: when they throw it to us, we just got to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: catch it. And so, yeah, a few times they try
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to attempt those deep shots. We made a play on it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And so it's just, it's tough to do when, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you feel like, you know, you're down 10-0.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, I'm going to go chase a play.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But us, we're like, all right, just let the game
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: come to you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We've trained for this. We're locked in. We're ready.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And in those moments, you make the plays.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You've been practicing against Drew Locke for years now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: To see him when he gets this kind of rare
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: opportunity to seize it like he did, I'm guessing you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: weren't surprised. We've all been saying Drew has been the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: best two in the.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: NFL for years.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: He was such calm on our sideline defensively that folks
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: didn't even realize until the end of the game or
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: towards the second half that he was in.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Because it's so seamless. He's such a leader.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: He makes plays all the time in practice.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's really cool to see him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And we just have so much belief, not just in him,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: but just anyone who steps in for us, Rodney, Drew.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It was like that's how we operate.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Anything else, guys? Let's go. Appreciate you guys. Thank you.
