  Speaker 2: feel good about yourself. And and yeah, I thought the offense.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Offense did some good things today, picked up some big
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: third downs in the second half. Obviously those last two drives.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I mean we you know, balls at the ten yard
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: line you go down to get field goal, balls at
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the six yard line, go down and get three. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: then we finished the game the same way. So yeah, there,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's still some things we gotta work on
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and clean up, but obviously, yeah, you know, much better
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: today by the offense.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Defenseman he's yeah, I mean listen, he he was in
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: a in a great, great headspace before the game, this
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: whole week.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You know, just an outstanding performance, you know, and obviously
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the big one there at the end. And that's what
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: he's capable of doing, you know. And and and same way,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, when you talk about guys like Trevor and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Christian and Calvin and you know, Zay and all these guys,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know, he's in that conversation, those are the guys
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that you know need to step up and make plays.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: And he did a great job for us today and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and something that you know he can be proud of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and obviously, uh, we can work on that. You know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we felt too like this this defensive front was a
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: little bigger, heavier, stronger front. Just uh felt like shat Lee,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know, gave us the best opportunity there. It was
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: nothing really against Ben and you know, we just we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: just as a staff just felt like it was it
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was Shatley's chat Ley's time to to get in there. Well,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that's hard to say. We'll look at the film evaluate it,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: but but you know, yeah, I'll let you know on Wednesday. Well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the pick six was huge, you know, after after the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: offensive scored and and and I thought the defense played
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: played pretty solid all all day. You know, the one
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the drive at the start of the third quarter. Obviously,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know you like to do better there, but and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: then and then holding him out of the end zone,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you know when they did at the end of the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just a just an overall the turnovers, Josh's performance,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: there's just a lot of a lot of good efforts today,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and they played together as a team. That's that's the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: sign that we're headed in the right direction where we're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: getting some things fixed and and still got some work
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to do obviously, but very very pleased with today's win. Yeah,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean I thought he was solid. Saw the field well,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: uh saw Calvin for the first touchdown there. It was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: kind of a little bit of a got in behind
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the defense and made a heck of a play. Used
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: his legs, you know today on some big third downs
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: for us. Played tough, physical, just did just did Trevor
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: type stuff, and and you know, played played a good game.

• 7:31
  Speaker 2: feel like.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: That's that kind of run for kind of.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Me to get lead.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's I wouldn't say it's easy. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: mean they got a tremendous young running back. Uh, he's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: gonna be very good in this league for a long time.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And and and they have weapons on offense, and and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that was you know, that was uh evident. But you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: obviously I can't speak for them, but for us to prepare,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's something that our defense is
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: does a nice job of, you know, stopping or at
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: least slowing down the run. They got some big runs
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: in the second half, but you know, those are things
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that we focus on. And anytime, you know, anytime that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you can either eliminate or sort of you know, minimize
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: whatever it might be, a certain aspect of your opponent,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you know, and make them a one dimensional team, it
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: is your favorite no matter who you're playing. And you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I thought our defense really really rose the occasion and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: when they had opportunities, they you know, the interceptions were big,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and the strip sacks, all that kind of stuff. We're
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: huge today too,
