  Speaker 1: numbers and everything. Were they doing anything or was it
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: hard to get to get the ball to you? Yeah?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Coach Coach Flores does a great job mixing up looks
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and we're just taking what they give us. And you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know Sam, you know, made the the best decisions
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: for the team and trying to Zach and K nine
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: doing their things. So it was just one of those days.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: How did they defend you differently than other teams? A
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of his own looks, a lot
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of you know, cloud coverage, a lot of help over there,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, towards my side, you know, which is fine.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: That's a that's the name of the game. You know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Other components got a hit and they did so happy
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we got the win today. When you say that your
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: defense is the best in the world in practicing, yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: what is it that makes that as as dangerous as
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they are at this point? Man? Just I think starting
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with the front line, you know, just some dogs up there,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback. Pressure stopping the run is very key.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They did a great job of that today. And you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: just with that throwing a lot of different looks, you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: know at the quarterback, and you know we got a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: lot of dogs in the back end as well. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just the complete overall defense and yeah, yeah that's why
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'll say you may get lost a little bit and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: all the other stuff that happened later in the game,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but Cooper's fell ow recovery early on, it was a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: plus games how they was playing Oh huge, huge, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we it's all about the ball, protecting the ball, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, his his awareness and his skill set is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: beyond measures. So happy to have them. What will you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think of when you saw Nist make that make that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: play happy? You know, I love I love seeing that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: me sitting on the bench, you know what I'm saying,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And it's awesome for him having a huge day to day,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, credit to all the whole defense,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I know he would say that, and the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: ball just finding him and him making them play is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: huge for us. Neither team crossed midfield in the first quarter.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What's a game like that where it's kind of a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: feeling out process? Defenses, how do you try to break through?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And what's that kind of process? Like? You just gotta
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stay ready, gotta stay level headed. You know, it's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fight out there. You know it's a it's a twelve
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: round fight. So you know, you can't win in the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: first quarter, second quarter. You just got to keep punching
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: out there. And I'm proud of my guys that we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: did that today and and finding a way to win
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and yeah and else. Thanks
