  Speaker 1: field goal, interception, sack, all on game. Nah nah nah,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that was the first uh, you know, just making an
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: impact on special teams and on defense. Uh, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that was the first time I had a game with
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: all those type of stats. So this wack field goal
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: looks like You've been close couple times this year. Yeah,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: get your head mad that, but honestly feels great if
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you look on field, Like the past couple of weeks,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I've been like close to like blocking the field goal
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: every game. So uh, me and my specially coast uh fits. Uh,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we just been working on it in practice. Might get
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: off and like just uh just trying to find the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: best technique I I can use to win field goal.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It looked like was that you that came close to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: getting up? Yeah, what's the Bible? Man? This defense special? Uh,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, this defense is super special. It's probably one
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the best defenses I've ever played on. You know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's my first year as a rookie, but uh, I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: don't think no defense can probably talk this. Uh. Honestly,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of special dudes on this team,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: from the first level the D line to the linebackers
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to the secondary, like, uh, you know, I think this
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: defense is like historic almost you know, you know, it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: kind of like people don't wanna almost kind of shot
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: away from saying that, but I really do think this
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is you know, it's a special defense. The the interception,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the place then they kind of created that way. What
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: did you see in front of you? Uh, you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: top of call and we were just playing a real
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: MATCHI Uh, you know Spoon, he's a he he's a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: twitchy dude. So uh he made the play, made the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: PBu and uh kind of the ball came fast in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: my eyes, so I A, I had like a s
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: half a second and kind of react to it. So uh,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: once I've seen now just had to go make a play,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a grab the ball. Cause the first play ball a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: year that you've had the starting defense available with Jaron
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and Julian back. Uh. Could you feel the difference for sure?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: For sure? Uh? You know, Uh, I just felt good
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: having everybody out there. You know, early in the season,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I was kind of saying like, uh, in different interviews,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like we didn't really have this the first time, our defense,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't really have our defense out in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the field. At the same time. So it felt good
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: having everybody back, you know. But even in uh Julian's absence,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of dudes were stepping up and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we were playing great ball across the board. So you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: always had to pick last week and get it this week. Years.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It felt so good to finally get it. Uh. You
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know that last week would have been pretty great. I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: think that would probably been like in a historic game.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You know, we probably had like six turnovers. But you know, UH,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just stuck to my process. You know, I was happy
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for those guys last week. Uh, you know, so stuck
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: my process this week and I knew, uh I it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was my time eventually. So the game was well in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: hand by the end there, but for Tier Tyle College
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to get the pass break up keep him out the ends.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So how big it was out for you guys just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: finished it off that way. Yeah, it just shows what
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: type of defense is. You know, we got a lot
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of resilience. Uh, Like you know, a lot of defenses
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: probably woulda been in garbage mode and you know, they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: let him drive. But we we you know, we we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: got a mindset like we don't want them to score.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So we was in a huddle every time you don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: line up like, hey, don't let him score. Don't let
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: him in. It's just a statement for our defense. Shit
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: he gets uh kickoff return touchdown a big game in general. Uh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sounding like get a big week in practice as well.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You starting to feel him on the other serve for sure,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. Earlier this week in practice. Uh, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Kobe and I was like, yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: r uh rashi. Uh, he's starting to warm up, like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you know, he was making plays and practice starting to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: look uh the connections there between him and Sam. But uh,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: even on his kick kick return. Coach Mike he called
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it in uh right before he went out for half time.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He he literally caught it out. He was like, she go
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: take one back to the house and very first place.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So it's just a special best a special day for us.
