• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Going will yourself the team record eleven sacks tiny team
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: record tonight and uh, you guys got four from the linebackers,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: two full corners. Well, uh, what can you say about
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the pass rush from all three levels to the defense today?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I think we needed it. I think each game, Uh,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: defensively we've been getting better. You know, we've been doing
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a good job stop and run. But the one thing
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was just applying pressure. I think the last game we
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: had a lot of pressures, but not as many sacks,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and so I felt like this game we turned those
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: pressus into sacks. You guys seeing anything offensive from them
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that you made it that you wanted to bring extra
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: pressure more often against them? Or is it just the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: injuries that they had up front too? No, I think
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it was just understanding how the game was gonna go. Uh,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they gonna they wanna put the ball in the uh
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: their playmaker hand, and so uh we knew he was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: gonna try to take off, which he did a couple
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of times, uh, to run the ball, and you know,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we just wanted to make sure that we apply a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: little bit more pressure. Just think of whether spling tonight.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It was a great job. I think it was with
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: two sacks a pig. I think he had a a
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: nice tackle on uh on a crush play on the outside.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: He played really, really well. He's really you know, coming
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: into his own every time he plays. He's very very
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: smart and you know, every time he steps out there,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get smarter. Remind him that the ninety seven yard of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: X six is one short of the team record. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: think I'll be a mind him up ready. What is
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that fits him inside? What? What? What's he his skills
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and fit maybe nickel as well. I think his ability
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to blitz tackle, how smart he is. You could move
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: him on the outside, move 'em on the inside, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so you know he can cover really well. And so
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's the ability to kind of interchange him
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in any position makes him very versatile. What enable the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: defense to be so dominant throughout this game? Uh? I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think we did a good job of stop and a run. UH.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We know they wanted to come in and then try
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to establish that. They ran a lot of mixed directions
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the first series. They were able to move the ball
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But once after that first series, we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: s we settled down and you know, we felt like
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we stopped the run pretty well and put them into
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: pass situations which allowed us to get out of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: quarterback anything else, Thanks, you appreciate it.
