  Speaker 1: Can you just take us through the last play there
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: where you got the sack?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, shout out to the entire defense. You know,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: we stood strong no matter what. You know, we was
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: up and down like this. We let the emotions get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the best of us, but we stayed strong together. And
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: we battled and credited the interior line for getting that
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: great push. D-Law, I think Murph was also in there,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you know, forcing the quarterback to not be able to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: step up. And he retreated and I just, you know,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: kept rushing. I was able to make a play. So
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: shout out to the D-line and shout out to the defense.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You mentioned emotions getting the best of you. I don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: know why. Was it just kind of the flags and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the penalties? Sorry? You said emotions kind of got there
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: with just.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: All the flags and everything? Yeah, just the flags, just
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what was being called out there. We thought it was
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a couple things that didn't go our way. We didn't
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: agree with the calls, and we let our emotions get
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the best of us. But like Mike said in the breakdown,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to learn from it. We're going to attack it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, we've got the win.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's most important. What did you think of Nick's play today?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Nick played great.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Nick played great.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: He's battling what he's battling, and he's coming back out
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: there and making huge plays for us. Got a nice
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: sack today, made some good plays in the past game.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Nick's just evolving, continuing to get better. What we saw
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: his rookie year, and best believe he's going to keep
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: getting better.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Between the way the game started with the two turnovers,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all the penalties, did that just feel like kind of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a strange, disjointed game for both teams?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. We've got to be able to clean that up,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: which we will. The penalties by us in defense that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: kept driving lives, the offense is going to do what
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: they do, so I'm not worried about that. But it
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: was definitely disjointed and definitely a weird feeling to the game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: In that, how important is it for you all to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: stay focused when it's disjointed to persevere at the end? Um,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: let me correct my disjoint is a bad word. I'll
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: just say just just a lack of just a lack
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of just the tiny details. You know, we're not just
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: joined as a team. We're definitely together. But like you say,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it's going to take learning the film, just correcting mistakes
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and just tightening up the little details.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: How did you feel overall with the way that your guys'
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: pass rush came together, even with those penalties, the way
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that you were able to really.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Get after Justin in this game? Yeah, that pass rush
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: definitely came alive. It might cause some great blitzes that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: got linebackers and safeties free. Murph had a good rush inside.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Guys are rushing all day, hit good hits on the quarterback.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: We're just able to rush as one, and that's one
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: thing we talk about is being together and connected, making
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: sure we're talking out there so we're all on the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: same page to make those plays.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: For as strange as that game all went, how does
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it finish it on defense with the play that you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guys had to close it out? It was great.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: That's what we call the death zone. We've got to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: have situations that our back's against the wall and we
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: rise out of it. That's what we call the death zone.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the guys for making those plays when
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: time needed.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Why do you think this ended up being a closer
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: game at the end after you guys got that hard relief?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I would say the penalties is what made it close.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of plays we got off the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: field and plays we stopped them back or knocked them backwards,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: but we make a penalty and they get a free
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: first down or they get closer to third down. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it was just on us, the little mistakes on us
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that made it closer to what it needed to be.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Anything else?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you.
