• 1:38
  Speaker 2: for another day. Where have you seen this defense improved
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the most several last few weeks? I think, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: when you get people healthy and you know, you get
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: on the same page, and I think we just learning
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: who we are and trying to figure out who we are.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Not saying that we won't have bumps down the road
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and things like that, but at the end of the day,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I think that you know.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: We're playing and the way we want to play.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We talked about upholding the standard, and you know, for
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the last few weeks, I felt like we've done that,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: so you know, not to say that, you know, we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: might go out and have a bump, you know what
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I mean. But at the end of the day, it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: how we bounce back. We know we can bounce back.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: We've done it before. So for us, we just wanna,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you know, stay on top of things, enjoy these moments
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and those big guys eating up there, eating up front
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: like that, you know what I mean.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It makes everybody better. We've heard from and from Bobby
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: about how Devin Witherspoon practices. What's the question he asks
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that impresses you most questions? He asked me a lot
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of questions.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get it a thousand questions a day
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: from the whole room, So I mean, I can't pick
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: anything in particular, but I know he's very particular about
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: his work.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I know he takes pride.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And you know, and and and win in his one
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on ones and his battles and I V loses, he's.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Pretty pissed off, so.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he he's taking the taking the next
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: step forwards, and it's made our defense better because of him.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and the potential of that matchup between Chase
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and definitely Spending Ti. I mean, Jamar is a great player,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I think anytime you can come in the league and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: take the league by storm as he has. I know
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he's a hard worker. He trains in Austin and things
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: like that. So very very good player. One of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: best in the league. You know, in my mind, he's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: top three in the league the receiver wise, So you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Joe and him have a connection.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So those guys are they're special. So we just got
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to go out and play our game.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Bro, I'm not into the you know, he said, She said,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: none of that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You guys know me. You've been knowing me long enough.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You know I'm not here to you know, I respect
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: every player and every player I hope they respect me.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, I you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I don't get into any of that. You know, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: take me and my guys any day of the week.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, that's how everybody thinks.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Part of your job is preventing those big plays. Kind
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of tested the Bengals.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: They present they presented a big uh, you know, a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: big problems, you know, and if they have t back,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that's another guy who's you know, one of the best
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: in the league.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So very explosive offense.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know, they started slow, but I think they're starting
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to pick things up.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So excited about the matchup.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I haven't played these guys since, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Joe's been in the league, so I'm excited for the opportunity.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I know Cali's over there, who's my old
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: quarterback coach in Detroit, So be good to see him.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Also, it's that deep ball that he just makes it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: look easy when he catches.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: How do you make that more difficult?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Play our technique, you know what I mean.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So we can do play our technique, and you know
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they have one of the best connections in the league.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: If they complete one, you know, we get 'em down,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: we go to the next play. But the end of
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the day, you know, we don't wanna give up any
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: explosive plays. So we just do our best to stay
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on top and you know, make 'em think.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It dunks the CAF injury.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: How did he look movement wise in their last game
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: compared to the first few games. I mean, he looked
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a lot better. I mean he's he's Joe Burrow. He's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Another guy
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: taking the league. Bob storm.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So he looked good to me.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So I think he's he's feeling good, and he's moving good,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and he's competitive as heck.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, I'm excited for the opportunity. The
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league. What do they have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in common?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Those guys? I think the best quarterbacks in the league.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't. I don't think it's for me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's not the you know, the the throw power and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you know all that. I think the best quarterbacks in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the league. They're accurate. They can read defenses. You know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: they know what to anticipate before the snap, and they
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: know the coverages. I think anytime you know, you can
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: do that, and you can do that at a high
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: level when the quarterback gives you the keys, I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the coaches give you the keys to the to the ignition,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. The sky's the limit for
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks like that. And he's had that, you know, he
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: had that in college. He's had that since he's coming
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to the league. And you know, playing quarterbacks sometimes to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: me is you know, similar to playing free safety.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be the fastest, the biggest, you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: don't have to you know do all these things, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know how to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: pick your spots and anticipate things, and you know, either
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: make the big player give up the big plays. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it's very similar to me. And I think those are
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the best guys, and Joe's one of those guys.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Was having Jamal. I know it was only nice plays,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but having Jamal out there on Monday.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I tell you, guys, anytime you can
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have a three time All Pro, you know, a guy
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: who's gonna break the sack record before he retires, I mean,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: it adds a different element to the defense that you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: team's gotta account for. And you know, you know he's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: gonna be running around, flying around, talking trash and doing
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: his thing, but you know the playmaking ability that he has,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: whether it's strip sacks, you know, force fumbles and you
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: know all those types of plays. Those are negative players
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: for offenses. And I think, you know, some people have roles,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and I think with him, he does it all.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And in our defense where it's.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: R planning to run, playing the pass and garden tight
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: ends and things like that, So anytime you can add
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: another weapon and you know, we continue to get healthy
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's exciting island up stocks last week.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Were you town Clint to call Blitz for you or anything?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Nah, try to get in on that. Nah, keep me
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: where I'm at. I don't.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I ain't trying to be in the box, none of that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: So let them guys handle that. I'll go, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: jump and be excited for him, but let me get
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: my picks.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for past part.
