• 1:13
  Speaker 2: send you another message just you know, like I said,

• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a great player, great leader. He's always been supportive since
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I've been in the field, and so I'm extremely appreciated
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: for that. In the moment, did you see it all
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: with the place that Ben made on that play? That
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: kind of forced Kyler? Yeah, de petitivity made him. Yeah, definitely, definitely.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I heard he he he came here and said he
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't you know, he did something on the return. But
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: just thanks to him, I actually want to give him
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a huge shout out. You know, he's been blocking extremely
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: well on like every pick. So I seen, uh, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the guy was about to tackle me and I've just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: seen his school come out of nowhere and blocking and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the rest of those guys blocking building the wall for me.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And you know, they were on my head about slotting
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: last time, so I had to score that one.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: What does it do for the entire defense when you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have a one hundred and eighty five pound corps that, yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: going to the whistle and sometimes beyond making making plays
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like that, beyond just you know, the rules of being
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: cornerback blocking stuff.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody, you know, we all speak extremely highly of him.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: He's a dog man, you know. I he's like one
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of my favorite players and I've played with just the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: energy he brings. We're always on the same page, you know.

  Speaker 2: He always watches for me and the saying goes for him.

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You guys have a passive defensive turnaround since the bye week.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked a couple of players about that. What's changed.

  Speaker 2: Just how the defense was feeling.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It ha to be.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Frustrated, Yeah, of course, it's always frustrating. We don't get
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the you know, the result that you want. But you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it's about just going to work honing in the little things,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and that's what the coaches have been doing, and uh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we just been going out and practicing, really focused on
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: those things and continues to get better. But you're running
